Once in a while you come across hotels which overwhelm you with the hospitality and service. Greenshore was that and much more for us. Came to know of Greenshore through the TripAdvisor reviews, and corresponded with Ian, the owner over mails for the bookings. From the first mail to the day we arrived and was welcomes with a broad smile... More

A super place - friendly owner and staff, good breakfast and spotless rooms with great view from balconies! Roof garden also gave us lots of entertainment watching the Indian eagles building their nest. Only criticism (not of the place, but of Kovalam) was the frequent power cuts - so you often woke up in the night sweating because the A/C... More

We booked this place after checking the reviews on tripadvisor itself and were not disappointed at all. Although this is a hotel, but the owner Ian personally receives all his guests and gives you tips on the great eating joints. You even get discounts at a few places when you mention you are staying here. When we went to one... More

Hi Unfortunately this season has seen the water supply in bad condition, the Kerala water authority have fitted a water filter to the mains supply and we wait to see the results. We are aware of this problem and provide bottled water to each room for drinking and teeth cleaning on a daily basis free of charge. The mains water... More

Situated just 5 minutes from Lighthouse beach, Greenshore made our first stay in Kovalam and Kerala, really excellent. Everyone there was friendly. The room was clean and spacious with a fan and air-conditioning. Rooms were cleaned regularly and the rooftop terrace provided nice breakfast and coffee, beach restaurants are really close for evening meals. The managers were really helpful and... More

Our entire experience at Kovalam was excellent, thanks in a large part to the Greenshore Apartments. The British owners and their local staff are friendly and helpful; the local staff even swiftly dismissed our auto driver who hounded us all the way to the hotel for more money. The room had a TV, ample hot water and a large balcony... More

From picking us up at 5am to great location and quiet room, The Greenshore ticks all our boxes. Furnishings are simple but rooms are spacious. Second floor recommended for views. Friendly, helpful staff. Look forward to returning. More

As I came to India by myself and wanted to spend some relaxing time on my own before my onward travelling, this place really was a very good choice for me: I felt comfortable and safe in my nice and absolute clean room; I could have a good privacy there, but at the same time I could be sure, someone...

We booked the Green Shore apartments afer reading the many positive comments on Trip Advisor, and it certainly lived up to expectations. The rooms were clean, well furnished (bags of storage, a fridge and A/C) and the bedding was changed every day! Ian, Lyn and the staff are so helpful in every aspect. It is clear they love the area... More

.....is the best way to describe Greenshore. This is all down to Ian and his wife Lynne together with their cheerful and helpful staff who go the extra mile to make it feel that way. The rooms are spacious and kept beautifully clean; plenty of hot water for your shower; a fridge to keep your drinks nice and cold and... More
