I had a wonderful stay at the Vivanta by Taj- Kovalam. The staff was incredibly warm, kind, and efficient. I was traveling alone, and they made me feel very welcomed and helped me with everything I needed. The staff in itself made the hotel superb. As for other things that I can say about the hotel, the breakfast buffet was... More

So, let me start with the day we arrived, we landed at the Trivandrum airport and took a local taxi just outside the airport, it was so much cheaper compared to the one the hotel was offering(the hotel charges you 1300rs for a 20 minute drive). When we got to the hotel we were welcomed by a staff member who... More

For starters,this was a last minute plan for us, a family of two adults & 2 kids. All we had managed to book was a garden facing twin room. On reaching, our triple requests for an early check-in, upgrade to a king sized bed and a sea view room were all met with! John from front office facilitated all this... More

2 weeks stay in May 13 for a 40th birthday. Because they are so few I will start with the negatives first, much more glowing later to come. The drink prices in the hotel are a bit steep. £24 a bottle (2000rps) for basic local wine, £60 for the cheapest european imported. Cure to this is to visit the local... More

truly superlative expereince at Kovalam Vivanta in May 2013 . Let me begin from the check in expereince itself.

The lady at the front desk made us really feel welcomed... More

We stayed for six nights at the suite with lap pool, and it was amazing. The pool (depth 4.6 feet), had a fabulous view of the sea. The staff, especially those at the restaurant were extra courteous and friendly. Special mention to Mr. Aurobindo. During our stay we were treated to Kathakali and Kalaripayattu performances. There is a taxi stand... More

We recently finished a tour of Kerala with a relaxing stay at the Vivanta by Taj in Kovalem. The hotel comprises of stone faced two storey units dispersed over a lush tropical hillside. The marriage between buildings and nature is harmonious and a visual delight. We had a garden view room meaning we had no sighting of the sea but... More

Beautiful serene location with music of the sea, moonlit sky and gentle cool sea breeze. Everything set for a nice birthday party. Good healthy dishes and a colourful strawberry cake . Thoughtful chef and waiters help arrange a beautiful hut to cut the cake.
