Short review: Look nowhere beyond this place if you are searching for a comfortable and a relaxing stay in Kovalam with great views at a competitive price among other similar properties. Full review: We stayed in the Arabian Sea View room for 2 nights. Everything about the stay was perfect. We were greeted with welcome drinks and a huge shout out to Ms. Arya, who ensured the Check-in process was smooth and also gave an overview about the property and walked us to our room. She was very friendly, helpful and informative. Infact, everyone we came across - the security, the supervisors, the front desk people, room service and the staff at the restaurant & Spa were all affable and Super helpful. The property had great views of the sea. The room was huge with a large balcony that provides nice view of the water. We spent most of our time at the balcony, enjoying the views of the sea and lighthouse. We were provided with all basic toiletries and Tea/Coffee kit. There was a mini-bar as well which is chargeable. The bathroom comes with a bath tub and 24*7 hot water. The hotel is at a walking distance to the Kovalam beach. The return path to the hotel is steep and could use Auto rickshaw to get back to the hotel from the beach. The grove beach is also at a walking distance from the hotel. Coming to the food, it was truly wonderful! Their Catamaran restaurant dishes out lip-smacking food. The Kathrikai Ullitheeyal that we ordered via Room service is one of the Best dishes we have had in this year. Also, do not miss their Jalapeño Cheese balls. The complimentary breakfast was great too. They have a dinner buffet as well. We also tasted their Pizza and Kerala style Briyani and they were very good. They also have a resto bar in 6th floor. It provides the best view of the sea from the property. The Pinacaloda that we had there was refreshing! The swimming pool also comes with a great view! They have auto/taxi stand available right outside the hotel which we can avail to go to nearby places like Aazhimala and to Trivandrum City & Lulu Mall. Overall, we had zero complaints. If I were to nit pick - 3 out of 4 times, the Coffee that we ordered via room service was not as hot as we expected it to be. So, ask for extra Hot coffee. In short, Look nowhere beyond this place if you are searching for a comfortable and a relaxing stay in Kovalam with great views at a competitive price among other similar properties.…

Rooms were spacious and clean, with a very comfortable bed. I enjoyed the rain shower, with good water pressure. Excellent breakfast with a good variety of Indian and continental options. The swimming pool was clean, with a nice view across the sea and never busy. A short stroll down the hill to the beach. We would love to stay again. Thank you to the staff, especially the waitresses and room cleaners (Aswathy, Sindu, Deepa).
