The hotel offers amazing rooms with big palm trees in front, although the low ceiling might be a concern for tall guests. The bathroom is maintained at a 5-star level, providing a luxurious experience. The location is great, just outside the main beach with easy access to quiet beaches, and the dining experience offers good variety although it can be improved. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks to consider.

The hotel offers very spacious rooms with a large balcony, thoughtfully designed, and can easily house 6 people. While the balcony size could be larger, the attached balcony adds a nice touch to the room. Service is courteous, with some reluctance concerning pool lights, and they make great arrangements for special occasions. The location is right on the beach and the Kerala coastline, although a direct passage to the beach from the hotel is missing. Dining experience was excellent, but dining outside the hotel comes at a more affordable cost.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms are amazingly well done with the latest fittings, very clean, spacious, and equipped with all necessary facilities. The service was fabulous, from helping me book a trustworthy cab to their caring and attentive demeanor. The location is quite approachable from the airport and station, just outside the main beach, offering a great sea view. The dining experience, though average, had some delicious options like puri bhaji and puri choole. Overall, a great value for money with excellent facilities.

The location is great, just outside the main beach with good access to the quiet beaches down the hill. Although there's no direct access to the beach from the hotel, it's just a short walk away. The proximity to the restaurant area, however, caused a bit of crowding.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room offered a spacious layout with a lovely view and cozy bedding, but storage was limited. The price of INR 8500 per night ($160) seemed a bit high. The service was polite and accommodating, with a special touch of a personalized fish fry gesture, yet it lacked a truly hospitable feel. The location, although offering great views of the Arabian Sea and being a short walk from Kovalam Beach, did not provide direct beach access. The dining experience was excellent with a wide variety of dishes. Some facilities needed improvement, resulting in long waiting times for basic amenities.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of wonderful views and safety concerns. The room we had paid for looked nothing like advertised but had an incredible sea view. Although spacious and clean, it lacked proper lighting. The balcony had safety hazards for kids, a point of worry for families.

Staying at this hotel was a memorable experience. The rooms were spacious and offered a king-size bed, with a huge balcony providing a lovely Sea View. However, the noise from the pool area at night was a bit distracting. The service was outstanding and prompt, with staff readily available to assist with various needs. The location, although not right by the beach, provided great views and a peaceful atmosphere. The dining options were excellent, offering a mix of Indian and English dishes. Overall, a good value for money choice with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms, friendly staff, and a quiet location away from the bustling crowd. However, some trees obstruct the sea view on lower floors.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were first-class and comfortable overall, but I noticed they were really dirty in the corners. On the positive side, they did provide a cot for one of the rooms. The service was top-notch, with very nice and friendly staff throughout - from the reception to the restaurant and housekeeping. The dining had a lot of variety and was really good, especially the traditional South Indian cuisine, but there were some misses at times. Overall, the facilities were decent with the necessary amenities available. However, despite the best endeavors by the staff, there were some areas that could use improvement.

The hotel offers immense rooms with views of sunrise and sunset on the Arabian Sea. The rooms are very spacious with good balconies providing a 180-degree sea view, creating a perfect setting to enjoy the beach and sunset.
