We took an 8 day private tour with KTDC of the state of Kerala and stayed in their hotels throughout the state. All have wonderful locations, very good service and helpful staff, however this was a favorite as it overlooked the beach and the sunsets were fabulous. The rooms are large and comfortable. The breakfast menu is varied and we... More

re so many good restaurants around. The restaurant staff were really helpful once we realised we could order items not laid out on the buffet e.g. eggs cooked as youlike them and various juices. The a la carte lunch menu had a very good selection of snacks and full meals. This is definitely a hotel we will return to gain... More

The Kerala Tourist Development Corporation’s Samudra Beach resort is a beautiful resort and a bargain to boot. Set on the hill overlooking Samudra Beach it has beautifully landscaped grounds and manicured lawns with seating areas overlooking the sea, a large, clean and beautiful pool, with several wings of rooms most of which have ocean views and either a private patio...

We have just returned from a 5 week stay in the Samudra and have already booked for next year. The setting is ideal - our balcony overlooked the beach and there are numerous cafes and restaurants very close by.

Pro's: Location is good. Beach is very nearby or we can say 1 minute walk from hotel. Staff are very supportive. Our room was big with balcony with all facilities. Swimming-pool was good n very well mentioned. Cons: Things inside room are quite old. Towels , bathroom were look like very old.Room service was poor(dining). Internet usage only in lobby.

Good food.. good ambiance.... great location.... nice and helping staff almost everything is excellent !! Guys trust me, its really been a pleasure to be there. :) Every night they arrange some cultural programs at dinner time...

We had 2 rooms on the first floor which had a fantastic view of the sea, beach, swimming pool area. Most of the staff were very helpful and made it a pleasure to serve us. The rooms and bathrooms needs a bit of an update ie new tiles etc, but still was good enough. The Christmas gala dinner was very... More

We chanced upon it by accident when our online reservation for a different hotel was suddenly cancelled and the company decided to give us this one in a hurry. We were pleasantly surprized with excellent hospitality, fantastic sea views and well maintained property. The samudra beach which is adjacent to the property, has clean water and sand and is much...
