Boasting quiet street views, Abhi's cafe avaduthura kovalam features accommodation with a terrace, around 700 metres from Kovalam Beach. The property is situated 13 km from Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, 16 km from Napier Museum and 2.2 km from Padmanabhapuram Palace, Kovalam. Free WiFi is available throughout the property and Hawa Beach is 700 metres away.

We received a very warm welcome from Abhi and were able to check in early as the room was available. Everything was lovely and clean and the room was very nicely furnished. In all our travels throughout India over the years this place was the highest standard. We found everyone very friendly and Abhi had gone to a lot of trouble to think of the small details which make for a good stay like providing a kettle with tea, coffee, sugar and milk on arrival together with a bottle of chilled mineral water in the fridge . Everything worked well and the place had good security. The location was ideal as it was not far from the seafront and shops. Excellent value for money and we would highly recommend Abhi's place.

Located in Kovalam and with Light House Beach reachable within 400 metres, Hotel Peacock provides concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a shared lounge. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available.

The rooms were spacious and clean. The hotel is very close to the beach front, but far away enough as to not be disturbed by the restaurants' noise. But what really made our stay exceptional was the host. He was so welcoming, friendly and helpful, we really enjoyed staying at this hotel. Thank you so much!

Facing the Arabian Sea, Bethsaida Hermitage is a seaside Ayurveda health resort with a private beach surrounded by vast beautifully landscaped gardens. The majority of guests visit the resort to undergo Ayurvedic treatments and to rejuvenate in a peaceful environment.

Everything about this place is awesome! The resort is filled with positive energy and good vibes. It's spacious with a lot of greenery but above all it has a super awesome view of a serene beach and sea! Rooms are spacious too. Loved staying here. The staff is very courteous, especially Jose was very helpful and kind in guiding us whenever we needed help with anything. They give you a personal touch with everything they do. The food in the restaurant is good and well-priced too. The breakfast is amazing! It has a variety of vegetarian dishes including South Indian, Western, Continental. The resort promotes an eco-friendly environment. You'll love staying here! Highly recommended.

    One of the best places I have stayed at. The people were warm and friendly. The room and bathroom was spotless, it also included a refrigerator. The breakfast was delicious as were the other meals I had there along with the fresh lime juice. All this for very very reasonable prices which you don't expect near the ocean. I would recommend you stay here. They also run a surf shop at the beach, I tried it out here and enjoyed it.

    Location. Car could drop us off at the hotel; walk to the beach was fantastic as hotel is right on the beach. Our room overlooking the beach was comfortable and well equipped right down to the sleepers provided. Breakfast was standard fare with good European/Indian choices overlooking the beach. Towels provided for beach/swim use. Staff very hard working to keep the place clean. Very helpful staff. In the quiet part of the beach

    This is my second visit to Rockholm it has got better with a swimming pool now, great rooms with beautiful beach view, property is right on the beach, awesome views from room, restaurant. The food was yummy and tasty, so many options in buffet and even al a carte options. Restaurant staffs, staffs at reception, room service all have done an excellent job. Special mention to Viji as usual she is smiling and caring, gave us late check out as our train was late in the evening, it really helped us.

    Excellent breakfast, lots to choose, tasty food. Bait restaurant by the seaside has great ambience for evening dinner, not to be missed. The only problem is lack of a private beach for the property
