Kovalam Hotels | Places to Stay in Kovalam

August 14, 2022 Etsuko Causey

A beach town on the Arabian Sea in southern India, Kovalam features three spectacular crescent beaches. The most popular and largest beach is Lighthouse Beach, aptly named for its 30-meter lighthouse, which features a stunning site - the Vizhinjam mosque. For a less crowded beach, visit Samudra Beach, with ample coconut trees and great views of the local fishermen at work.

Taj Green Cove Resort & Spa Kovalam

Taj - Green Cove Resort & Spa, Kovalam, is delightful in many ways. While to some it is one of the finest seaside resorts in Kerala, to others it is an amazing backwater retreat. And there are those that love it for its hill resort layout. Now it's all that and more. There's a nice new buzz all over. In the renewed cottages and villas, the nouvelle restaurants, the high energy bar, and the spa where you'll go Ah!

Lovely Resort Hotel by the ocean.

We stayed here a week on business. It is a resort hotel with small cottages spread across the site. The rooms are clean and well maintained although decor is a little tired. Breakfast is served from 7.30 but the hotel provided it at 7am to suit our work. The view is spectacular. The food at dinner is less impressive, so suggest eating at Bait, their restaurant by the sea.

Not so good

Reviewed By Sunshine831564

If you think it is a five star property then you are going to be totally disappointed. Rooms were very dirty. After complaining they did shift us to a better room. That was good but initial rooms were pathetic. Room service and house keeping Staffs were not as per standard. Foods were too not good. Breakfast spread was not as per 4/5 star hotel. As per me it is not even a 3star hotel. If they maintained then it would be good in future.

The most striking feature of this property by the beach is its closeness to the famous lighthouse, it’s own private beach and indeed the staff. Food here is delicious and home like, the team is always ready to serve what you want. We had a little bout of a travellers’ bug and needed some medical assistance. The team not only helped us with the a hospital close by but also took care of all our special FnB requirements. Palm shore is a winner when it comes to the team , service and location! Am sure to visit with my family soon. Thank you for your hospitality. Pooja Bhatnagar Rajasthan Routes Trails Pvt Ltd

Excellent indoor focussed resort

Reviewed By vadu111

We took the Signature Suite - It was really really large and my 10 year daughter really enjoyed the space. The view of the beach, right from the bed, was unbelievably wide and good. The room had all facilities required and was clean. The lift/elevator couldnt go upto this floor, and we had to climb one floor. The staff was courteous and very friendly through out (across the board starting from the welcome area, dining area and every where). Food was also at its best, good variety for breakfast and economical for lunch. The swimming pool was very clean too and Kids pool was the right size for my 10 year old. My aged parents also joined for paid breakfast, but the front office team was kind enough to allow them to join us in the room. If you are an indoor type, this place is very good. The hotel does not have a direct access to the beach nor has an outdoor resort like area. The walk way to the common beach is pretty near though, hardly 5 minutes to the beach.
