Getaway Beach Resort Kovalam

Great view and location. Courteous staff and delicious food. Sea breeze and view is the best. Spacious rooms. Peaceful getaway tucked between other fancier resorts. Extremely comfortable beds. Few minor issues in the room were resolved promptly.

Limited food menu options and a bit pricey, uber pick-up can be an issue due to local taxi drivers wanting to be utilized near the Gokulam resort, autos can overcharge for drop-off from the beach especially if you are not a localite. I am, so I could make it out.

It's set in beautiful gardens. The rooms are palatial. Bed and especially pillows were comfortable. The restaurant here is fabulous with a beautiful outlook toward the beach. My room had a patio area outside overlooking the garden. Staff were super friendly and helpful.

The windows need proper block out curtains.( hotel said they are in the process of installing them.

Location

Restaurant was a turn off, thanks to food variety and taste. Food quality and overall restaurant facility must improve a lot

- Location was very good, with beach views from the rooms and very close accessibility to the beach - spacious and very large rooms, proper working ACs - food in restaurant was ok, a bit expensive though

- Facilities like swimming pool were not upto mark or as in photos. It looked dirty, hence we didn’t opt to use it though kids were insisting. Instead we went to beach again - Shower and hot water was not working in one of the bathrooms. This caused issue as the bathroom with working shower didn’t have hot water while the bathroom with hot water didn’t have working shower. Though the staff tried to help and fix, it didn’t work and had to ask for additional bucket Not expected the above considering the amount paid for the rooms and for the standard advertised

the rooms size, cleanliness

the comod height and bed height higher than normal and not comfortable.

Good choice of food at breakfast, happy to cook fresh options sch as Dosa.

Pool size very small, a few areas good do with a bit of maintenance. Normal for India power cuts.

Close to the beach (about 200mtrs) Amazing view of the beach from the room balcony! Food and restaurant services are excellent. Hotel assistance overall is very nice, warm.
