Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a stunning hilltop location in the lovely area of Kovalam city, Kerala. The rooms boast excellent views but can feel a bit crowded with unnecessary furniture. The service goes above and beyond, even accommodating special requests for breakfast. The dining experience features some very tasty dishes. However, the beach area has become more crowded compared to previous years. The facilities are top-notch, making for a comfortable stay with great value for money.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and clean, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our requests, and the location was simply breathtaking. However, I wish the dining options were a bit more diverse. The facilities were top-notch, offering a truly relaxing retreat.
The hotel offers stunning views, the rooms are comfortable, and the service is exceptional. However, the abundance of unnecessary furniture can make the room feel claustrophobic at times.
The hotel offers breathtaking views but the room's excessive furniture can make it feel cramped. The service is exceptional, especially accommodating special requests. Situated atop a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea, the location is stunning, but the nearby beach can be crowded. The dining experience serves delicious dishes. Overall, the facilities are well-maintained.
