We visited Kovalam while staying in the Hotel Samudra KTDC adjacent to Samudra Beach for 3 days during the 1st week of September 2023. We booked one room directly, with the cordial cooperation of the lady receptionist. One side of the hotel was under renovation, and that was communicated to us before booking. So we were allotted a cosy Seaview room on the first floor, as we desired. All necessary utility items—a comfortable bed and minimum furniture—that two people may need were arranged accordingly. We found that everyday cleaning of the room, toilet, and making beds with fresh bedsheets and pillow covers were mandatory. Perhaps these are examples of KTDC hotels in Kerala, as we witnessed the same practice in Munnar too. The main attraction of this hotel was the balcony attached to each room. The Samudra Beach was literally a stone's throw away from our room. It was a divine pleasure sitting on the armed chair on the balcony to witness the dance of waves. We walked in the sea-facing beautiful garden in the morning. Guards were ready to help us if necessary.  Since the dining hall was at a distance from our room and it was difficult to get there due to ongoing renovation work, we preferred room service for lunch and dinner. We enjoyed the tasteful food at a moderate rate. They sent us the dishes and cutlery sets with hygienic covers. Room service officials were very courteous. However, we went to the dining hall for breakfast. It was specious and clean. A variety of foods were available for self-service.  Though there's a language problem with the boys in the hotel, they managed the communication with their polite behaviour, wearing sweet smiles on their lips. Here, I would especially mention the cordial behaviour of Abhilash, who extended all possible cooperation to us. Kovalam Beach was 1.5 km from our hotel, and autorickshaws were always available at the gate. We have visited Kovalam Beach, Lighthouse Beach, and another seabeach ( I can't recollect the local name of the Beach) at 3.5 km from hotel to see the sunset. And this Beach was what we liked most because of its broad view and golden sand. We did marketing too from one government undertaking shop. Lady Receptionist Ashwatha arranged airport drop-off at a rate of one-third the cost, as quoted by MakeMyTrip. Her sincere and courteous behaviour really moved us. In fine, our stay at the Hotel Samudra KTDC was pleasant, and the experience was amazing!

Renovation work going on.. Mosquitoes in room..the house keeping did not provide mosquito repellent inspite of asking them. We ordered for milk and were provided milk in hot water..food was below average. No security for the rooms as renovation work going on. Not worth the amount of RS. 4460 which they charged.

I had the most incredible experience with Himalayan Shepherd during my Ladakh tour. From the moment I contacted them, Stanzin Dorjey Sir and his team were extremely helpful and kind. They went above and beyond to ensure that my trip was a memorable one. The timely support provided by the team was truly commendable. The tour packages offered by Himalayan Shepherd are the best in Ladakh, especially their Leh to Leh tours. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fantastic adventure in the breathtaking landscapes of Ladakh.

5 days stay at this property . Renovation work is going on and very few rooms are available. Lush green ,well maintained gardens. One can hear the waves and feel the breeze seated at balcony chairs. Beach is just in front of rooms. Food was good, though very few choices for vegetarians. Staff was friendly and very polite. Staff cleans the rooms diligently. Ample amount of toiletries. Neat and clean spacious bathrooms. Big beds. Various birds can be seen. We spotted a snake too. Location is Usp.

We stayed in this property for 4 days during the last Christmas vacations. Although some renovation work is going on at this property and wifi not working due to it, still I would want to mention that every morning at 6'o clock we were able to enjoy the Kovalam beach due to our stay here. Food was great here. Staff was helpful. Recommend this hotel mostly for its location.

The hotel's location is very good, you can view and hear the sea waves from the room's balconies. Apart from rooms there are many selfie points with sea or gardens, hammocks. The green gardens, cleanliness are very refreshing. The rooms were well maintained and amenities were good. I was told that the hotel was under maintenance and will be full functional by March, hopefully it will further improve the stay and fun for the guests. The staff was polite and prompt. The restaurant with it requires improvement.
