Peut mieux faire
Pros:

Le parc

Cons:

L'odeur dans le parc quand c'est l'heure d'arroser les pelouses et les points d'eau.
Les travaux qui durent jusqu'à plus de 23h
Le réglage de la climatisation qui ne fonctionnait aléatoirement
L'eau chaude de la douche qui avait un débit très très très faible.
Ce n'est pas un 5 étoiles, cela correspond plus à un club de vacances. Le Leela palace, le Radison sont des 5 étoiles par exemple. Aucune comparaison possible. Nous avons fait 4 hôtels 5 étoiles en Inde sur 15 jours et celui-ci ne correspond pas aux critères que l'on peut attendre de ce type d'établissement.

Good location good food but crowded and over priced
Pros:

The location is good and the cottages are well placed

Cons:

Cramped place espescially the seagull restaurant that does not meet the 5 star standard and the chefs and waiters are all busy and moving in a crowded manner along with the guests. For a facility such as Taj Kovalam a larger restaurant space is required with higher ceilings giving the total experience of a 5-star property
