Lovely family run guesthouse. Very clean and spacious room. Lots of sockets which was handy. Not too far to walk to beach and restaurants. Lovely indian home cooked food for breakfast and dinner. Organised a taxi for me which was better value than at the taxi stand.

    Loved the stay in Santa Maria Kovalam. Not only it's value for money but also such lovely hosts and perfect location from beach. Any one travelling around it's worthy to stay here. Beach just a few steps. Host Siraj was a wonderful friend. And mind-blowing art works are going on for the property by Appu.

    Shida was a lovely hostess - communication was excellent, and she was very helpful - We enjoyed some interesting conversations. Shida told us about local events , such as the festival in the nearby temple. She helped us and other guests with travel arrangements. Her staff were also kind and helpful. The location was good - slightly away from the busy seafront which I liked. We felt very safe and that our room was secure. It was a relaxing and happy stay.
