I loved the Indian breakfasts. When Diljit (the Manager) makes chickpea curry. That was SO GOOD! That was the best chickpea curry I have ever eaten! I also liked the hostel because it has a very clean spacious nice well equpped kitchen on the top floor - the roof floor. So I could go buy fish to the nearby very pittoresque fishmen village called Vizhinjam in the early morning and then I cooked it myself. That was top! I also made myself pancakes! It is so nice to have a nice kitchen. And a fridge. And a cast iron pan! They also have a washing machine, so I could wash my clothes. That was a plus. The female dorm room is not big, but it has a little balcony so it remains airy. The bathroom was super clean. Also bed sheets were clean and nice smelling. The location could not be better as it is 1 min walk to the Kovalam Beach, the main beach. So you can walk there bare feet. The hostel also has a big roof top veranda - a covered space, green - has a shade from nearby tall trees, from there you can see the sea and enjoy the breeze. Birds, crows will come to see if you have some food for them. They are like hostel pets! They almost eat from your hand! It is like a Bird Zoo!

We've stayed in Rockholm for 2 weeks and really enjoyed it The restaurant is so good that we didn't bother to go and eat somewhere else most of the time when we were at the hotel. Besides the regular menu they can also do something on request and all of that is very reasonably priced (compared to most of the European prices for the same quality and service). The breakfast is mainly vegetarian but variety is wide enough and some options are changed every day, we tried something new in different combinations every day. Non-veg breakfast options are always present but limited and some of the breakfast dishes could be spicy The receptionists are very helpful and helped us with the currency exchange, helped to book a scooter (since it was a low season it was hard to find anything working), arranged a reliable transfer to the airport at a good price (compared to an external transfer booking services), they can also help with everything related to tours and other activities We've really enjoyed the pool, even though it's not so big and rather shallow it appeared to be good enough for us. The water, pool itself and surrounding area were very clean. We didn't go to the beach but during the daytime it could be really considered as a private beach as there's always nobody even though the beach itself looks pleasant and clean, at the evening there will be cloud of locals watching the sunset and local kids playing football The room itself was clean, cozy and with enough lighting options. WiFi has proven to be stable and rather fast. And of course the view from the balcony is breathtaking and it's main feature of the hotel for sure The location is also nice, in a very quiet and somewhat secluded area but in just 5 minutes walk to the main beach with all other hotels and restaurants All the staff is very helpful and sincerely friendly

I thought it would be a normal room , but my stay at that resort was perfect. they have really clean toilet, seperate wet and dry area, comfy bed and the view from the balcony was gorgeous. they're only 200 meters from the main beach, so it's not too noisy, yet close enough to the beach. I got a full body massage too, that was amazing

I enjoyed every single moment of my four night stay at The Travancore Heritage. They are master of hospitality and you feel immediately welcomed by the female reception staff. The property is very large, plenty of space, beautifully maintained. Wonderful gardens, easy to stroll around, with fantastic beach views. They have 2 restaurants, with a wonderful selection of food choices, the chef and his team take care of your every need. I managed to squeeze in a few Ayurveda treatments, (only due to they were fully booked), the best I have received in India. The top swimming pool was very clean and lovely to chill out on the day beds after a day of sightseeing, location easy to walk to beach, local shops (good shopping), temples and church. You will need a tut tuk to visit lighthouse and town, just walk outside the resort and they will help you out. The other pool is for families and children. Their is activities to do if you like and a short walk to the beach, the lifeguards are wonderful and set up your day beds for you, great location for sunset! My room was spacious and clean, the bed comfortable and I loved the balcony that I could view the ocean from, the staff even left me towel animals. A special shout out to Annie for going above and beyond, her kindness is a gift! You could easily stay here for a week, I highly recommend booking your stay here.

The location, the cottages were beautifully decorated with a sea view and so tranquil and calm, morning yoga by the sea, watching the sunsets from the yoga platform, the friendly and helpful staff. They even prepared a surprise for my daughter’s birthday! We loved everything, it was just perfect! Would highly recommend a stay.
