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.

This was a choice we made out of necessity since we visited without booking and had to settle for this . Place was neat and clean , with a nice pool, though I felt too much chlorine in the pool was causing skin burns when exposed to sun. Room cleaning had to be repeatedly requested before being done . The bathroom doesn't have a ledge on the floor which allowed water to come inside the room if you were not careful. Breakfast was standard south Indian items , which was tasty . Poori bhaji ,puttu, dosa etc was the staple menu for breakfast . They don't have a restaurant but there are enough restuarants in beach nearby . Most of the customers visiting this place an repeat customers for many years . Overall it is a comfortable place.

Tom's Inn Premium located in the beautiful beach city of Kovalam offers a perfect blend of Premium Bread & Breakfast with budget pricing, so that you can relax and enjoy luxury facilities.
What a great find! This budget four rooms hotel is in just above main Hawa beach kovalam, a quiet part of Kovalam,a stone's throw away from beach.We stayed in two Arabian sea view rooms.Beds were very comfortable and always hot water for shower. There are lots of shops nearby for a bite to eat, sip pn a beer and lots of restaurants, both veg and non veg. Airport and city center only 20 minutes drive.Toms Inn premium isn't a ritzy place, but a wonderful, affordable and comfortable option. Many thanks to the reception and housekeeping staff for all the help and especially Biju housekeeping for your quick response.Fully recommend this home stay, great value for money.

Shaded by graceful palm trees and neem tree, Cocoland beach resort at Kovalam, is of the stunning place where you can have great feeling of nature. It is situated very close to the golden sandy beach and crystal clear water. And relaxing under the 'Neem tree' you can feel the positive energy from it. Neem tree is called 'pharmacy of village' because of its healing versatility.
I had booked to stay here for a fortnight. I have been to Kerala 5 times, love it here and have many dear, platonic Indian family friends. I asked a close friend to help me with the move to Coco Land. Unfortunately, as we climbed the steps to my room, the staff started shouting at him as though he were a criminal, telling him that he had to wait outside whilst I went lugging suitcases on my own. He took it very graciously but I felt profoundly ashamed of how he had been treated. I left immediately and will never go back. I checked carefully that it would be fine for me to receive Indian guests before I made the reservation as I knew another friend would be visiting later in my stay. Glad I was able to avoid the same treatment for him. If you believe in basic human equality, please don't stay here. They don't deserve your custom.

We were 5 girls,planned for a trip to kovalam. We found this homestay and pre-booked it. Mr.Jayaprakash was very helpful. he came to receive us and he took extra care for us. He also suggested the near by places to visit. As we reached late that day, he has arranged for dinner, instead of breakfast. The homestay is 5 mins walk from beach and we had a birthday celebration for one of our friends in the beach. It was a very different experience.

A decent room with a sea view. The hosts are very friendly and co-operative. The approach to the room is a bit untidy but the room itself is very nice and comfy especially the closeness to the sea....I have great memories of my stay in this place and highly recommend Shaji's services.

When i tried to check in to hotel, they said it's full. Despite i had a reservation from an online booking site, they ignored it and they called the hotel manager, also hotel manager said only "no room" and directly hanged up the phone on me.

Thanks Vasantha for looking after me with breakfasts, my washing, all the cups of tea and long chats. I recommend this guest house for anybody who wishes to stay in Kovalam for a long time or even a short time.

The hotel is hidden in narrow, one person wide, streets. It is close to the beach, not many comforts, but for that money (600 rp for a double room) can be qualified very good. The personnel is helpful and on demand.
