Jasmine Palace

"Ok kind of a restaurant. Root service needs to be more organised. Bull friendly staff. Food nothing to write home about. Good for a 1st night stay till you can search for a better one"

Sree Mookambika Beach Resort

"I travelled with my entire family ***** with my parents and it was quite a nice experience staying there. The property owner Varun was very gentle and friendly. The property is just a minute or 2 walking distance away from the Light house beach and 4-5 minutes away from the Hawa beach. Saw some poor reviews in the past due to its location that goes through an ally, but honestly it didn't bother me, because it was budget friendly booking as well compared to the place. A few minutes walking from the Hawa beach to the resort shouldn't bother the entire experience. Stayed 3 nights without any issues. Completely worth it."

"We were in Kovalam at this property for a week. First things first, the rooms we got were nice, had a decent balcony overlooking the front of the property, the air conditioning and hot water worked well. It is really close to a wonderful beach, some small shops and local food joints and only a short walk away from a quiet beach and spots that you could enjoy. The property itself had a lot of work going on, so I can understand that they were preparing for a major tourist season and it might become better. The pool was dry and I was hoping that I'd get to enjoy some pool time but that did not happen. Perhaps due to the low tourist season, the restaurant had limited dish choices but the food was good. The staff is very sweet and nice but the hotel can do with some more thorough upgrades with housekeeping, such as providing fresh towels timely and so on. Otherwise, the hotel is nice but my family and I felt that for the price we paid, we could have gotten more for the price. Nevertheless, it is a good and decent hotel, I wouldn't keep high expectations. It will certainly get 10/10 for it's location and sweet staff. This is not to reflect on the hotel management or staff directly or negatively but it would be nice if they set ground rules for some big tourist groups they get, particularly the Gujarati tour groups, in reminding them of maintaining the calm and quiet on the property. Again, it is more about the tourist behavior than anything on the hotel itself."
