A great place to rest up for a few days.

A great place to rest up for a few days. Great restaurants along Light House Beach and fabulous shopping opportunities for gem jewellery, clothes and textiles, many are tucked away down the side alleys. Delicious food at Crab Club! Ali's Restaurant and Curry Leaf round the bay are both great places away from the hustle of the main stretch.

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.

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.

We had a fantastic family holiday at Taj Kovalam. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They were very accommodating and it felt like nothing was too much trouble! The breakfasts were delicious and the afternoon tea by the sea was a delightful touch that we looked forward to. The complimentary daily yoga sessions are a great way to start the day and the children enjoyed the evening boat rides on the lagoon. I had a great massage at the spa as well. All in all a fantastic stay. We look forward to coming back soon!

Very well maintained property at a good location where you are surrounded by 5star hotels and resorts. The Samurdra beach is just 10mtrs and the waves truly enjoyable, my son totally loved it. The hotel has their own restaurant serving good food and breakfast. Evenings are much pleasant and the rooms are really cozy.

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.
