Kovalam Hotel Guide - Family Friendly Hotels in Kovalam, Thiruvananthapuram District

My feeling about this place was as if I was in the top of trees surrounded by lush green but not away from the sea. It was splendid experience for me

We had such a great family vacation there! Great location, amazing views from our room, friendly and helpful staff. Wouldn't hesitate to go there again!

Excellent villas, nice beach view, walking distance to beach, shopping. Very helpful staff, tasty food. Hope the hotel includes local items during breakfast. Overall great place to stay..

Good food, clean complex, friendly and helpful staff Expensive, no entertainment, pools closed as rain expected. too many mosquitoes, no seating around the pools. Wooden sunbeds very heavy to move, and troublesome for pool attendants.

Hotel staff welcoming and helpful. Pool area and approach needed a bit more looking after but overall a good stay. The food was very good and reasonable.

Nice and handy for beaches, pool appreciated too. Housekeeping very poor and bathroom damp and horrible.

This is a very special place, tranquil, clean and safe. But don't go expecting Western standards of luxury -- what you are paying for is an unrivalled position overlooking the Arabian Sea, the lush and well-kept grounds, authentic Keralan architecture, and a friendly staff. Do book one of the Heritage premium cottages as near to the sea as possible, and immerse yourself in this green paradise. A week-long stay taking advantage of the (rather expensive) Ayurvedic therapies would be an ideal way to unwind after a wider-ranging tour of India, or for a self-indulgent break. You have everything you need on-site, so you don't have to brave Trivandrum or Kovalam (neither worth it). The Indian dishes in the cafe are delicious and good value; the boutique has some nice things, well priced especially with the generous discount offered. Enjoy!

Very good hotel, and a great end to our tour of the South. Staff very pleasant, didn't try the restaurant except for breakfast, Pool was clean, my only comment would be the climb up from the beach in 35 degrees was somewhat daunting.
