Following a hectic tour through Kerala we spent 6 nights at the Samudra to unwind before jetting back to the UK. The grounds are lovely with an array of hammocks and a nice pool. The 20 minute walk to Lighthouse beach isn't too far and there is plenty of local restaurants near by for lunch. We can't comment on the... More

Visited recently this wonderful hotel. The plus side, excellent beach, dinner entertainment, and nice pool. This beach is best in that area as it is quiet in comparison to more busy beaches nearby. The staff are co-operative and helpful. The minus side, the food is local indian cuisine but for us we enjoyed this cuisine. The room is equipped with... More

Yes, it might be - guess all the KTDC hotels are in a class of their own. We stayed in a delux room in the separate two story building. Samudra is in situated in a secluded area with a virtually private small strip of clean beach which is not very bussy. All rooms have a sea view and are comfortable... More

We stayed in this quiet, clean resort in March 2011 for 5 days. Very relaxing, close to beach, clean and rooms were comfortable. We had the Pool all to ourselves ( almost!). Service was good although restaurant was rather ordinary and food was All local. English was poorly understood in restaurants.
