"Have stayed here before and really enjoyed it, has to be one of the better hotels in Kovalam beach. We are actually staying here in a March and accidentally booked the wrong date, but the hotel let us change the booking free of charge even though we had a non refundable/changeable reservation. This shows what kind of a great hotel and staff this is. Definitely I recommend this hotel."

"We arrived to the hotel at 6am and the manager Akhil let us have a beautiful room until ours was ready. So we were able to rest so very comfortably.
The room we booked was so clean and organized, and the location is so perfect, right on the beach.
The breakfast was also great!
Thank you Akhil for your kindness… we will be back after our Ayurvedic treatments!

"Spotlessly clean hotel, attentive staff nothing is a problem.
Room fine, A/C and ceiling fan , TV which you can access Prime and Netflix if you have an account.
Wet room shower with plenty of hot water, some rooms have balconies, so check when booking.Complimentary breakfast was freshly prepared and excellent. Hotel located on the beach, beach is worked by the local fishermen upto about 11:00 most days, very little hassle from beach hawker’s. Four or five restaurants within easy walking, loads...

"This hotel has gone from bad to worse over the years.
Swimming pool in need of renovation
Room not cleaned in 4 days
No toilet paper
Generally dirty and grubby
The fridge we requested on arrival was delivered a day later, but they turned it of every day
We were booked in for 15 nights but left after 4.
Even this was a saga, does not take credit cards.
On a positive note, breakfast was good .
For your health and sanity avoid this hotel…"

"Hotel located a little bit outside Kovvalam Beach but reachable in 10 minutes by tuk tuk, located on a very romantic beach. The place is really relaxing and quiet, the staff extremely kind.

"Breakfast was fresh. Car cannot reach to the property but staff helps allout to bring the luggages. Rooms are not provided with tea kettle and bags. No supply of drinking water in the room. Wifi facility don't provide. Staffs are well behaved and cooperative but hospitality needs to be improved. More facilities to be rendered. "
"SomaPalmshore is an amazing place to stay if you just want to chill out for a while. The people are first class and were always there to help. The garden and pool are really clean and well maintained. The beach at the bottom of the garden feels as if it's private because so few people go there. Sunset from the rocks will melt you.

"We had a great two weeks in the hotel with the staff being very flexible in accommodating us. The hotel is metres away from the beach, we had a sea view room with air conditioning which was very pleasant.
However, the photos of the hotel on Expedia we saw are at least 20 years old and the hotel is no way a 4* hotel by western standards. There is no restaurant as part of the hotel any more, although there is a breakfast room which seems to get food from a neighbouring hotel. We were given western breakfast options (cereals, toast, eggs etc) each day, along with fresh cut fruits and coffee.
There are a large number of restaurants within walking distance, along the beachfront, and we ate at least twice in the ones we visited. The majority of tourists during our visit were Indian including a large number of family groups, but we were made to feel welcome.
Overall, glad we chose this hotel for our Christmas getaway"
