Soma Palmshore Beach Resort

Only consider the cottage rooms, they have a nice view of the sea - however this hotel doesn't have lift and every time you have to climb up an equivalent of 3 floors to get out or have food . It's a big problem if you have older people staying with you - I faced this issue.Food is ok , their cleanliness and overall room aesthetics needs an uplift. Being a spacious property, there are options of sitting outside which makes up for the okayish rooms.

Had high hopes from the property for this family stay however the experience was really bad.Good Points1) The room had a view of the beach.2) Had requested for 2hrs late check out, however was provided for 1hr, accepted same happily.3) Smooth check In.4) Was called to join the Onam games while returning from beach ,liked the call and participated.5) Small cozy swimming pool.6) Walking distance to Lighthouse , Hawa Beach etc.7) Security is co-operative in assisting the car parking and egress considering very limited parking space.8) Rooms were just cleaned and having smell of possibly Cintronella oil.9) Bedsheet and Pillow cover cleanCons.1) Facility Not having Lift.2) The rooms in Level 2 are in such a way , when we open the main door it can easily be seen from the Front Lobby, giving a lack of privacy and lack of proper design planning.3) Hotel infra very old. Lack of maintenance.4) Balcony had chairs for sitting which were covered with bird dropping. No paints on the furniture in balcony. Lacks bird net or Spikes.5) Restaurant balcony also having lots of Bird especially crows sitting, high chance of Avian flu.6) Only toiletries provided in room was a Soap and a sanitary bag., NO Handtowels.7) Furniture and fixtures very old and not maintained.8) 1st day we went to restaurant for lunch and ordered Pasta for our child , first F&B attendant confirmed available, after sometime she mentioned not available and we had to place another item. 2nd day. Breakfast at 9.00 many items were not available, had to keep on waiting till refilling done. 3rd day breakfast went at 8.30 again many items were exhausted (Boiled eggs, Idly) same was told as completely exhausted we can order other items. Not sure whether that was billed at check out as the invoice provided was not having breakup of expense. More that half the items in menu list is struck off.9) You cannot access Radio Taxi - UBER due to Local TAXI UNION (nuisance people) who charge exhobirtantly high rates. Have to travel 100-200mts uphill to catch the Radio Cabs.10) Temperature is not controlled of the water for Swimming pool of childrens.11) Private access to beach is very poorly maintained, lot of wild shrubs and bushes., torn sand bags.13) No exhaust in Washroom.Inputs for the Senior Management 1) Property needs major Infra Change and upgradation both inside rooms and outside area.2) Basic hygiene needs consideration with respect to Bird droppings.3) Restaurant foods availability need to be relooked.4) Simple toiletries should be provided.Overall Rating 1/5.
