Reviews

8 December 2009, vikramjit, chandigarh: Very good place to be away from rest of the world, heavenly place on beach, I stayed at light house beach, wonderful place…”

29 December 2009, Nikhil, Pune : “This is a good experience to Kerela. CCK rooms are really good, clean, neat & tidy.  Best Experience:  Swimming and the spa area are nice.”

26th December 2009, Lynne, London:  “Kovalam is a major sea-side resort. It is busy with tourists from all over the world. There are many hotels and shops. It appears to have grown up randomly over the years and not all hotels have road access. The beach is very popular with tourists sunning themselves and surfing but in parts, the sand is black like the Canary Islands.

“Lots of shopping available in Kovalam! There are many gift shops and lots of fabric shops where items of clothing can be made to order very quickly and at very reasonable cost. There are many interesting things to see in and around Kovalam. Lighthouse Beach has a busy prom and many tourists, Indian and foreign, wander up and down in the evenings choosing a restaurant to have a meal. A day trip can be taken on the backwaters. The most southern tip of India can be visited as a day trip – taking in the old palace along the route.

“Every December lots of Europeans descend on Kovalam to join Yoga Groups. They can be seen practicing yoga early morning on the beach. Many of the little shops stock yoga mats and yoga bags. Hotel Sea Breeze on Lighthouse Beach has yoga classes running all through the tourist season. They also offer tuition in Kalarippayattu (Kerala Martial Arts). Most of the hotels offer Ayurveda but not always with supervision of a doctor. The beach is suitable for surfing and it is very interesting to watch them skimming the waves.

“The nearest airport for Kovalam is Trivandrum. Also reach by train to Trivandrum station. When taking a train journey, purchase tickets at least a couple of days in advance. From Trivandrum it is a 20 to 30 minute car ride to Kovalam. A rickshaw from Trivandrum to Kovalam should cost no more than Rs.200.”

22nd December 2009, pranita, Bangalore: “Kovalam is a small town situated 12km away from Trivandram. Beach is awesome. There are two main beaches adjacent to each other.There are lots of hotels and home stays, you can select them according to your budget. Beach is safe to play and water is clean. Lighthouse beach is a little crowded but another is beach is calm and lonely. You will get to see lots of foreigners, in fact more than Indians you can see foreigners. The sun set view is awesome. All the restaurants and shops are situated on the beach, so you just need to walk around, evening time when light glows in the shops the beach looks awesome. Staying 2/3 days in kovalam is worth, you can really have peace and good time, far away from the city life and traffic.”

8 Mar 2010, Tinuworld, Mumbai: “Location is perfect. Between Kovalam beach and Samudra beach. The rear exit to the beach from the Club is ideal. Perfect location for a beautiful sunset with your partner. Food was good (pbviously not Bombay types but good) as we were Veg and also Jain. They prepared it as we wanted. Price is reasonable.”

There are many more Indian Resort Hotels available for Pyxism Travel Club members.  See a current list and details at Pyxism India.
