Pros:

This boutique hotel was adorable. The photos don't capture the chill, inviting vibe of the property. The hotel was beautiful and the pool fantastic. Great affordable location within walking distance to high-end resorts were we had nice dinners.

An absolute gem of a retreat- a simply stunning place to stay!
Pros:

It’s been said before, but this place is an absolute little gem. Everything about our two night stay was magical. The quality of the room
and the swimming pool, the attentiveness and kindness (yes - kindness) of the staff, and the food was bursting in flavour. It really is a great find and the go to place in Kovalam.

Cons:

That we had to leave it after only two nights. Next time we will stay longer!

Best hotel in Kovalam
Pros:

The spring cottage was very spacious as 5-6 people can accommodate. The staff was really approachable and kind, we didn't have breakfast included but the receptionist YEPU was so kind he gave us a complimentary breakfast. Overall this hotel is amazing and recommended to anyone visiting Kovalam.

Pros:

Ontzettend fijne, keurig onderhouden plek. Het zwembad is schitterend met op de achtergrond hun hotelkamers. Het restaurant aan het zwembad hebben ze ook heel mooi gedaan.

Fantastische kamer, warme douche, koffie - en thee faciliteiten, groot, gezellig balkon met fijne stoelen uitkijkend over het zwembad. en zelfs een koelkast op de kamer.

Op een paar minuten lopen van het strand.

Écht een aanrader dit hotel.

Cons:

Niks

Great value, a haven to relax in, people to meet if you wish to socialize, and rooms so comfy, clean
Pros:

What a wonderful find this hotel was, the cleanest in all of India and the beds like clouds - crisp ironed sheets and beautiful balconies that overlooked this gorgeous oasis of plants and the pool. The staff were so friendly and the dining area was charming - surrounded by plants and interesting decor. So easy to get to the beach, a short drive to Kovalum lighthouse and a sanctuary for relaxing and meeting other interesting travelers. Loved it - wish I had found this place sooner. Recommend highly - you won't be disappointed.

Cons:

Can't think of a thing
