We had a great time at this hotel. Our accomodation in the Kerala house was lovely and we spent loads of time chilling out on our verandah having the rest we needed. The rooms are basic but comfortable and the kellte, tea, sugar and milok proved were very welcome. The room was cleaned daily and sheets and towels changed on... More

Although we were not booked into resort we were allowed to use the facilities of the resort i.e. sunbeds, restaurant etc. A different world from Kovalam Beaches only 15 mins away. Private, peaceful, clean and utterly charming, both the resort and the owners. Spent a wonderful Christmas Evening here, the food was the best we had tasted in our three... More

Fronting a quiet beach, near enough to busy Kovalam, this hotel/guesthouse offered perfect care, cuisine and comfort. A real haven run by the most warm, hospitable and efficient staff

Our first time to this continent, what a good start. This place is so special, right on the beach, home from home. Philip, Jackie, Ambi, Raj and everyone else made this a very special trip for us. The food produced by Raj the Nepalese chef is just out of this world, awesome. Philip, Jackie and Ambi could not do enough... More

It's a small resort with 5-6 rooms in all which gives it a kind of private feel. What we liked most about this place was its setting.... More

Phil and Ambi and their staff make this the most perfect place on earth! This was our second visit and we were worried that we may be disappointed as we loved our last visit so much. Definitely not! Phil had made so many improvements since 2007, A new restaurant overlooking the beach and amazing Indian Ocean, a beautifully planted garden... More

I stayed here for two nights - my period of rest and relaxation amongst a busy backpacking holiday. Philip and Ambi were both incredibly friendly hosts - Raj's cooking amazing (prawns were expensive by Indian standards but ABSOLUTELY delicious) - and the location couldn't be better. I was hesitating to go to Kovalam having heard horror stories about Lighthouse Beach... More

We spent four days over Christmas at Kadaltheeram. The location is unbeatable - smack bang on a quiet stretch of beach - imagine a picture postcard perfect strip of golden sand fringed by palm trees, the stuff tropical dreams are made of. Only half a dozen rooms so very relaxed and friendly with both staff and guests. Such a good... More
