We booked a room with sea view. But next to the window there were couple of sheds with messy plastic sheet roofing. So could not enjoy the sea view.Overall experience was good. Good service, good atmosphere.

It's a shame UDS list themselves a 5 star as it creates expectations they don't meet, but it's still a good place to stay. Special mention to Subeesh O. I spent a couple of days not leaving the place, enjoying the pool, sunsets, watching the fishing. On the beach side are a couple of quiet bars and a tailor I highly recommend. The resort opens on to the beach but it's not suitable to sunbathe or swim and i enjoyed taking a tuktuk to Lighthouse beach, renting a sunbed for the day then head back to the resort for sunset and a drink before doing it all again the next day.

The resort is very well set out with 2 pools and drinks/food nearby. The rooms are very spacious, clean and welcoming. You will need to ask for a hairdryer and iron. the location is quite central with restaurants and shops nearby. We stayed there for 6 nights and thoroughly enjoyed their buffet, which had a variety of dishes everyday. The staff were attentive in the buffet area. One lady in particular, Pratiksha was really helpful. We made friends with the Chef Sebastian, who made us some lovely tiger prawns. In the pool area, the chef made a special dish for us. There were varied evening entertainment. One in particular stands out of the singer, Matthew, who sang beautifully the old Bollywood songs. He made our last night memorable with our favourite song and lots of dancing. We also tried the ayurvedic massage, which were really good at a reasonable price.…

We were originally booked into another hotel at lighthouse beach but due to some miscommunication we were allocated the uday samudra instead. I was somewhat concerned given some of the previous reviews however to be fair, the hotel was better than expected. Large, attractive reception and well tended outside spaces. We used the main pool, and were looked after by the pool attendant who was very good. The balcony rooms were adequate although in need of updating. There was building work going on at the hotel which we were told were rooms undergoing renovation. Breakfast was plentiful and the Staff were attentive. Reception staff were helpful, in particular I would like to mention Athira, a wonderful lady who was kind, helpful and very friendly. There are several local restaurants which are all very good. The only downside to this hotel is the beach, it is not private and has mounds of rubble dotted here and there. You can sit at any of the restaurants on the front and gaze at the wonderful sunsets but it’s just a pity that the beach is small and run down. However You can pick up a tuktuk outside the hotel for 200 rupees to go to Kovalam beach where you can hire sun beds/umbrellas for the day at a reasonable price. …

The hotel is very clean and comfortable, the rooms are spacious, the pool is nice and clean and there is direct access to Kovalum Beach. The hotel is old which adds character however, the bathrooms could do with a refresh with new and better showers and WC's. There is a good selection at breakfast and the bars and restaurants are nice albeit, a bit pricey.
