There’s crazy traffic on the roads - no rules, no traffic lights (maybe just one!), yet no crashes, no accidents, and no pedestrians getting run over! 🤪 There are lots good fish restaurants, but sanitation is still questionable.

Compared to Varkala I found it easy.

Compared to Varkala I found it easy. It’s well geared-up for Europeans and the shopping is great. However, it’s a small place so ten days was far too long for me to be there. On the whole it is cheaper than Varkala and although dangerous for swimming, it is manageable, unlike Varkala where I was unable to actually swim for five days

2 or 3 days is enough for a short break in the beach area as its quite small.Nice restaurants and shops,beach and sea clear.Sun loungers and parasols cheap for the day .Street sellers can be pushy and too many but they just trying to get business.

Good place to visit but stay in the hotels on the main road.

Good place to visit but stay in the hotels on the main road. Enjoy sea food in the restaurants on the beach. The beach needs clean up of rubbish. The best place to eat was Lonely Planet and Jeevan restaurant for beer and food.

Kovalam is a nice beach.

Kovalam is a nice beach. I had visited this place almost 40 yrs back as a kid but this time was a difference experience altogether. It is great if you are able to hire a car here and then move around. The experience from lighthouse on the lighthouse beach is something unique. The beach itself is nice and clean and you do get beds at INR 100 where you can rest and put your clothes while you take a small dip in the sea. In case you are looking for vegetarian food, the options are less but not non-existent. Overall a very nice stay.

Room was comfortable and clean . However bathroom are smaller and without handrails for elderly and this caused some concerns about possible slips on wet floors. Air conditioning worked well unlike some hotels I recently stayed at. Breakfast was sumptuous and varied with great tasting special toffee and tea, Kerala style. There was a possible security lapse when someone with a keys was seen trying to enter our room whilst people were inside the room . We reported this to reception but did not receive further information or explanation.

This resort is so beautiful it blows your mind! But, I wouldn't expect any less from a Taj property 😊 There's so much green all around the hotel, with the beautiful lagoon and the private beach, you hardly feel the need to step out... simply walking in the gardens or spending the day reading is a perfect holiday plan to unwind and recharge your batteries. The staff is extremely polite, efficient and friendly. The food gets a 10/10 too. All meals of the day include local specialties along with popular regulars. Superb.
