I had a lovely stay at Aura Retreat. It was the perfect place to relax for a few days between two retreats. Sujith was very helpful and welcoming, and made sure I had a comfortable stay. The balcony looks out over a lush area with palm trees and it was a nice place to relax in the morning and unwind in the evening. The location is also very good, only 50 metres from Lighthouse Beach and the sea. Great laundry service.

Fantastic location, I liked the fact that it's a bit more secluded, not on the shopping street. The host was super nice, I will definitely be back!

The room was spacious, neat, and clean, providing a comfortable stay. The staff were polite and attentive, and the food served was delicious. One of the highlights was the stunning sea view from both the balcony and the restaurant, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

I had a great stay here. The hotel is a short walk from the beach and shopping/restaurant area. All staff took pride in maintaining the outside area including the pool and the room was spacious and clean. The man on reception was friendly and helpful. The wifi worked perfectly. I was so content that I extended my stay.

I was very happy with my recent stay at this hotel and felt it was excellent value for my money. The hotel is very close to the beach with good onsite parking.The room with beautiful and spacious balcony was spotlessly clean and cozy . The bed was very comfortable with good quality linens that made for restful nights. The bathroom was very clean with good quality toiletries. The staff especially Baby went above and beyond, ensuring I had everything I needed and always greeting me with a warm smile. I look forward to staying here again on my next visit.

    There’s crazy traffic on the roads - no rules, no traffic lights (maybe just one!), yet no crashes, no accidents, and no pedestrians getting run over! 🤪 There are lots good fish restaurants, but sanitation is still questionable.

    Compared to Varkala I found it easy.

    Compared to Varkala I found it easy. It’s well geared-up for Europeans and the shopping is great. However, it’s a small place so ten days was far too long for me to be there. On the whole it is cheaper than Varkala and although dangerous for swimming, it is manageable, unlike Varkala where I was unable to actually swim for five days

    Good place to visit but stay in the hotels on the main road. Enjoy sea food in the restaurants on the beach. The beach needs clean up of rubbish. The best place to eat was Lonely Planet and Jeevan restaurant for beer and food.

    Kovalam is a nice beach.

    Kovalam is a nice beach. I had visited this place almost 40 yrs back as a kid but this time was a difference experience altogether. It is great if you are able to hire a car here and then move around. The experience from lighthouse on the lighthouse beach is something unique. The beach itself is nice and clean and you do get beds at INR 100 where you can rest and put your clothes while you take a small dip in the sea. In case you are looking for vegetarian food, the options are less but not non-existent. Overall a very nice stay.

    Room was comfortable and clean . However bathroom are smaller and without handrails for elderly and this caused some concerns about possible slips on wet floors. Air conditioning worked well unlike some hotels I recently stayed at. Breakfast was sumptuous and varied with great tasting special toffee and tea, Kerala style. There was a possible security lapse when someone with a keys was seen trying to enter our room whilst people were inside the room . We reported this to reception but did not receive further information or explanation.
