Great place. Our room (large) was perfect. It had two parts - in one there was a large bed and in front of the door there were nice, heavy wooden Indian furniture that added charm to the whole. Abha's Cafe, immersed in greenery, is perfect for a longer stay. We have to go back there. About 10 minutes to the sea along a green road. Very good price in relation to the quality. We highly recommend it. The owner, speaking very good English, is very nice and helpful.

The manager is so nice and helpful, really went out of his way to be welcoming! The location is great- seconds from the beach. They hadn’t been open long when I stayed - the mural in my room was beautiful, and the artist was here painting other rooms, so I think it will look gorgeous when it’s all finished.

    The location is really good, behind the lighthouse on the light house road, 5 min walk to two beaches. Extremely close to the beach and decent restaurants and Kovalam beach yet nicely tucked away from the touristy lanes and traffic of Kovalam beach. The rooms were neat and well maintained and looked after by Mr. Babu who was extremely pro-active, attentive, responsible and responsive, courteous and helpful with any information/assistance we required. The services, location and basic amenities are a real value for money.
