Some of the critics here are very misleading and i am thankful that i made a decision against those and selected this hotel. This hotel is right on the kovalam beach. i could make out from the layout of the hotel that each room has a sea view. We got an excellent room that opened to the swimming pool and... More

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

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. A 20 minute walk (or a short rickshaw/taxi ride) gets you to the popular Lighthouse Beach with more shops and restaurants.... More

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...
