We visited the hotel and stayed for 5 days at the end of our honeymoon tour of Kerala in November 2011. We had chosen the hotel for a bit of relaxation at the end of the honeymoon. Although the resort looked beautiful and had amazing views of the sea/beach with an infinity pool almost looking into the sea, we felt... More

We stayed in octagon room the view was breathtaking from our bed. My parents stayed in superior heritage room it was interconnected. Beds are very comfy. And the... More

We visited the resort as a group of 5 families with children. The location of the resort is outstanding and the rooms are spacious, clean and extremely plush. The stay was extremely pleasant. There were a few hiccups though. The service was extremely slow. It took us a couple of hours to finfish our meals. The restaurant doesn't have too... More

The place is amazing - a real paradise - situated on a cliff, the outdoors is like a civilized jungle, with many trees and grass, overlooking to endless beach and amazing sea. The pool is mid size, but very nice, with stone tiles, and some statues and real stones - make it look like more nature than regular pools. The... More

The hotel is absolutely stunning, perched on a cliff with the calming sound of the sea and the wind adding to the ambience. The staff was very warm and friendly and prepared customized local meals on request as well as invited us to be a part of their festivals and celebrations! The restaurant was also fantastic, as was the spa... More

Surya Samudra is the most beautiful place on earth! The intimate setting on the most stunning cliff top makes for the most relaxing and romantic stay. with only 23 cottages, it is small enough for the staff to know you by name, and can plan the most amazing itinerary for you. We opted for the yoga/ massage therapy package, which... More

The locale is breath taking. The Arabian sea at your doorstep. The resort is a heritage property with beautiful wooden traditional Kerala houses for rooms, offering all the 21st century comforts. Indian beaches are normally crowded but the beach here is as close to a private one you can get, which is a definite advantage. The evening entertainment (optional) gives... More

The experience from start to finish has been monumental. The staff, the location the beauty everything has been truly inspiring and wonderful and I don’t think we can thank the hotel enough or express our thanks enough through words. Special thanks must go to the chef who cooked the most delicious food we have ever tasted, and also to the... More

We did much research for the ideal 2-nite getaway to Kovalam. We were prepared to pay a premium for reliably world-class service as we experienced in Kumarakom (Coconut Lagoon). The staff, except for Mr Gireesh the Front Desk Manager, are poorly trained and do not communicate well with each other. The reception area is dead and thefan and lights don;t... More

We stayed here 3 years ago and because we enjoyed it so much decided to stay again at Christmas. Unfortunately the whole character of the resort has changed. I must admit the accommodation has been transformed and is first class but the staff are not very well organised and we had to ask on two occasions for our room to... More
