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 absolutely loved staying at this property — it had such a warm and inviting atmosphere. There was something about the space that just felt calm and relaxing the moment I walked in. It was peaceful, private, and had a really positive energy throughout. The location was ideal — quiet and safe, yet still close to everything I needed. I felt genuinely comfortable and at ease the whole time. It was the kind of place you instantly feel at home in. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly pleasant experience.

    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.

    The location is really good, behind the lighthouse on the light house road, 5 min walk to two beaches. Extremely close to the beach and decent restaurants and Kovalam beach yet nicely tucked away from the touristy lanes and traffic of Kovalam beach. The rooms were neat and well maintained and looked after by Mr. Babu who was extremely pro-active, attentive, responsible and responsive, courteous and helpful with any information/assistance we required. The services, location and basic amenities are a real value for money.

    Our room and balcony with sea view was lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for you. The doctor was kind and the treatments were also good. The people at breakfast went over and above to try and make sure you were happy. Watching the eagles and hawks fly as we were so high up was awesome. A short walk to Kovalam/Lighthouse Beach which was great with shops, restaurants and sunbeds available on the beach and clean sea. A very good stay, would definitely go back.

    Best beach resort, I have visited till now in India. I had been to Taj Fisherman Cove, Taj Fort Aguda and Taj Exotica(Goa) and other 5 star beach properties. Nothing, beats this resort in term of location and view of sea. Staffs are courteous and special mention to "Manju", she was outstanding on the service.

    It is comparatively cheaper adjacent to Kovalam beach. Entrance is narrow and back side of the Kovalam beach but at the same time beach is very close to this cottage. Manager and one staff are good and they arranged to carry luggage at their own cost.
