We loved it here!

The hotel is really lovely - we had a huge sea view room with balcony - toiletries & hairdryer provided and an enormous fridge. The hotel is immaculate and the garden & pool are beautiful. The staff are so welcoming and friendly but professional and the breakfast & meals are delicious.

Calm in kovlam

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.

6/10 Okay

Everything has an old look in the cottage - the view was good but everything from the aircon to fittings were really old and worn out. Getting a Uber from the hotel is a real challenge as there are regular taxi drivers who charge triple the rate waiting at the entrance to turn away our booking. Really frustrating when the hotel can’t help us with this matter.

Unsatisfied for cost paid.

Recently stayed at Soma Palmshore, Light house Road, Trivandrum from 23 Dec 2019 to 26 Dec 2019 and my overall experience was unsatisfactory considering I paid Rs.6000/- per unit per night. Had booked 2 standard sea facing AC units 115 & 116 and the rooms were quite shabby to begin with. The pictures put up at hotels.com are quite misleading to begin with. The hotel is pretty old and is in need of some serious maintenance. To begin with there is no lift to reach the rooms. So if you have old parents with you, the stay is going to become horrible as they have to climb up stairs. The door lock of one of the unit was troublesome, one room had a chain type flush system, both rooms had no Wi-Fi and service is just OK. The hotel does not have a stretcher and wheel chair and one of the cleaning staff collapsed in one of my room and evacuating her took some serious effort and involved calling about 6-7 people from the hotel staff. Restaurant food is decent and some dishes like Chole Batoore, Puri Bhaji etc were good for complimentary breakfast. The staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful but that did not cover up for their unprofessionalism. Will rate the overall experience as 4 on a scale of 10.

The bedroom was fine. There was a balcony and near to the beach. The bath room was in a state of disrepair and needing a deep clean with bleach. Tiles in bathroom really needed to be cleaned. Linnen and towels could have bèn cleaned better. The dining room was basic however the food was a good quality.after we got to know the staff they were friendly and helpful. Food in dining room was good and reasonably priced. We had a massage organised by the hotel, this was good value. I had a yoga class which was great. We would return here.

Good location

Loved the gardens, the view and the temperature of the swimming pool, it was a good stay for the price we paid. The hotel is slightly dated but would only need a few changes to make it stunning as the location, a few minutes walk from lighthouse beach and you have your own Private beach is a plus. We felt there’s lots of staff around the hotel which could be updating things when they seem to have very little to do at times. The hotel is very clean which is the main thing, we enjoyed our stay.

Very enjoyable stay

Rooms comfortable, however the A/C was very noisy but we couldnt live without it. There is a kettle in the room which is totally unnecessary as there are no mugs or tea making equipment - we were told to just order room service which is very reasonable price. Food in the restaurant was good and the staff very helpful and attentive. Reception staff also very helpful - quickly changed our room in the middle of the night when we had a problem with the local wildlife. There is no hairdrier in the room but one was quickly available when I asked Reception. There is a super swimming pool with sunbeds and towels available and a willing pool boy to help put up umbrellas. The location is great with a beach on the doorstep down steps and a short walk to Lighthouse beach with all the shops and restaurants. It is a steep hill back to the hotel but a local tuc-tuc costs a very reasonable 100R. Overall it was good - I particularly enjoyed the yoga - but it is all a bit shabby and with some decoration and upgrade it could be 5*

The hotel is a descent 3 Star Hotel. There is a small pool and an easy accesible semi privat beach. The beach is beautiful. The Ayurdeva applications are very professional with a comprehensive set of different treatments. The Soma is a small hotel and in no way can it be compared with his flagship mother Hotel the Somatheram..

Beautifully located Hotel .

Great hotel with incredible views. The rooms are comfortable with a large balcony . However the bathrooms need a complete overhaul . The decor needs upgrading . However the location with private beach beautiful gardens and pool with walking distance to local restaurants public beach and tourist shops makes up for the dated decor . The massage spa gives fantastic value for money with wonderful services. The food was varied , very tasty and also good value. The staff could not do enough to help you. Checkin was quick and simple. Minor downside no safe in room nor fridge. However fridge was quickly supplied when requested for storage of medication. Overall we would recommend this hotel as good value and would stay there again. Would also consider booking the cottage if available .

Tired Bathroom and Room Functional

The bathroom was small and tired and not clean i.e. stained shower tray and hair in plug hole. Room itself was ok but didn't have anywhere to put suitcase, no wardrobe, not tea/coffee facilities. The room had a balcony overlooking the beach which was nice.

Beautiful beach view

Tucked out of the way in a beautiful beachside location, this fairly informal hotel with helpful staff is off the beaten track and an oasis if you want peaceful relaxation. Pleasantly weather-beaten with an airy spa on the top floor offering Ayurvedic treatments and yoga. Lovely garden and pool just above the beach. Pleasant balcony restaurant - just don't expect haute cuisine.

Dejligt hotel

Skønt hotel med rigtig god beliggenhed. Morgenmaden er fin. Dejlig park ned til standen og poolen er rar med rent vand og udlevering af håndklæder. Nogle af tjenerne er dårlige til engelsk, men generelt servicemindede. Jeg boede på et deluxe værelse, der er dog ikke meget deluxe over det, men det er ok til prisen. Rengøring er rigtig fin med skift af håndklæder og sengetøj hver dag. Hvis jeg tager tilbage til Kovalam, bliver det helt sikkert på dette hotel. Bemærk, den fabelagtige skrædder overfor hotellet. Hans syninger er af høj kvalitet.

Good location with private beach.

We enjoyed our stay here relaxing in the pleasant warm pool and on the private beach, although the waves are huge so swimming is not recommended. The cottages are very sweet and worth paying more for as they are larger and have a fridge, mosquito nets and a sitting area inside as well as out. The restaurant had a lovely setting overlooking the sea and the breakfasts and snacks were very nice though there is no pool service. The pool is very pleasant but could do with more sunbeds and sunshades. There were shaded areas in the garden though. The hotel is up a steep hill on the edge of the town and there are many steps down to the pool and beach. It is very close to Lighthouse beach with all its shops and excellent restaurants. Not really suitable for children as sea not safe and pool is small and has many rules.

Excellent place to stay!

Pros - Great front of house staff; room clean and large with a great view; restaurant food is 5*; great pool and private beach. Cons - A/C was intermittent (although I never ask for it to be looked at and fixed) and the sun beds could do with updating.
