Taj at Kovalam is a bit of a chain hotel. Not a bad thing. Rooms are spread around a tight perimeter. Hope that you are not near the crowing roosters just outside ie ask for a room close to the lodge. The beachside fish restaurant is the best feature of the property, with much superior service to the rest of... More

We stayed there in third week of this month and I must say we had a wonderful expereince with Taj. One thing I must add is that the beach not very near to the property and you have to walk down (around 1km) or avail the booegy service, which was avaialible all the time. Opted for a Garden view room.... More

We reached the hotel premises a little earlier than our check in time. We were attended well and were given a room earlier. It is a lush green,very well maintained property. More you explore, the more you would be charmed by the place. Private beach ( not for swimming as the sea is very rough) , lagoon the lawns, the... More

This was my second visit to the resort and this time I spent 10 days for Rest and Relaxation. My experience even exceeded my first visit. In short, from Jasmin Luiz to Sonu Koithara on the management side to Sherin (Jiva Spa) and the staff in Jasmin and Curries restaurant made my stay truly memorable. The Customer Service was exemplary.... More

Firstly..the hotel setting is just WOW...simply idyllic. We were contemplating on where to stay, Leela or Taj and Kovalam. We made the right decision. The rooms are tucked in lush green forest on the hill. You walk down the steps into a jade green lagoon just surrounded by thousands of palm trees. The pathway then leads to the beach. We... More

Let's face it. You go to Kovalam for the beach. Taj Kovalam has everything for a great holiday except the beach! this property does not have a private beach like the Leela Kempinsky does. We booked a Premium suite with a private pool. The views were lovely and the room was spacious and comfortable. The only fly in the ointment... More

The access to beach was almost nil. They have put stones across the edge of the sea, which does not allow you to even touch the sea. Also, the place is quite risky. There was no life guard available there. Rooms are not that great compared to amount that they charge. The buggy service is extremely slow. You have to... More

I was at Vivanta by Taj, Kovalam for 5days last winter with my parents. It was exactly what we needed - absolute relaxation. The sunset/sunrises at their private beaches is a delight. Also, the way the hotel's sprawled out - makes sure you dont miss anything. It is perfect if you're looking for a few days to sleep-out all the... More
