A KTDC owned property always has an advantage of the location, same holds true with this property as well. Very nice property, well maintained with greenery all around and when you just cross the garden a neat and clean beach will welcome you. While you visit the beach , you experience the magnificence of the sea- water till where your eyes can see! You can witness one of the best sunsets on this beach.
On our arrival we were given a welcome drink and were guided to our rooms.
We stayed for two ...

The best in the area of Kovalam

Great Sea View retreat
by Vaisakhan S on 17 Jan 2019 (Family Traveller)
Good Ambiance.
Ambient space and lawns for kids to play and family to chill.
Beach is just few yards away.
Room was not big but enough for a family.
Food was okay, but service was a little slow, There was an instance where we had to wait for about an hour for a tea due to absence of staff.

This is kind of a gated community for pommies, if you like getting a tan by the pool or getting a tan on the white only beach then this is your place, the beach by the way is filthy.
The front desk staff are so jaded they have forgotten how to be friendly and welcoming. The grounds themselves are pleasant. My room however had some problems, aircon could not be adjusted made a noise but nothing seemed to come out of it. The bar fridge (empty) made a constant noise like a jet taking off until i...
