I used tour operator First Choice – who neglected to tell customers about the continuing building works (mentioned by other reviewers.) The hotel is adding extra top floors to two blocks, and building a new leisure centre –so there’s a significant amount of hammering, sawing etc going on from dawn till dusk, and lots of building materials in transit to... more

We have recently returned from a 2 week stay at Uday Samudra in Kerala. Flight and hotel were booked with First Choice Holidays. Flight was good - few delays and upgrade to Premier (paid for) seemed worth it. Good food, service and transfers. Despite other reviews here, First Choice do NOT automatically put you in the more modern blocks in... more

Party of two couples based UK. We upgraded to Atrium rooms and heaven knows what the standard rooms were like. The bathroom was a wet room but without enough room to put a towel on the floor and also get in and out of the room. So it remained a swamp and the vents for the fan did not open... more

We returned from Kerala on 4th. April after a wonderful two weeks at the Uday Samudra Beach Hotel. Right away let me say that the grumblings expressed, sometimes forcibly, by disgruntled guests seem to us to have been blown out of all proportion by people looking round for something to complain about. I notice a terse recent comment from someone... more

Both the Taj and Leela were fully booked so my travel agent suggested this hotel was the next best thing and located on the beach unlike the other two. The view of Room 301 was fabulous - directly overlooked the water but the room was yucky especially the torn bedspread that looked like it had never been washed. The bathroom... more

We had read some reviews about this hotel and to be honest we were a little bit worried. However we didn't have to worry. The hotel was fantastic. We had two rooms 850 and 851 sea views to the right and pool views to the left. They were really clean and tidy and as long as you didn't turn the... more

Well UDS was great, had a few hick ups but overall very relaxing experience indeed and would definately go again. My one suggestion is when you head out on holiday there is to take your watch off as everything is a bit slower: Hotel - check in a bit slow we did arrive over 24hrs late (long story - was... more

Check out the other reviews on this hotel, most of which are rightly complimentary. However, there are STILL building works going on and these did disturb us, particulary around the large swimming pool. The top floor of the new block is being finished and a spa area built. From 08.00 till 18.00 there is banging, sawing, drilling going on. And... more

We've just come back from this hotel & enjoyed our stay there very much. There was some building going on but not at all disruptive. It is a brilliant place with so much going on & the people are very friendly. We travelled with First Choice & can't speak highly enough of Elaine the rep. I was ill while we... more
