“Handly place for Kovalam beach. Simple hotel with no fuss.”
+This hotel is perfectly nestled inside a lane at walking distance to the Kovalam Beach. The rooms are really large and the family room that houses 6 to 8 people is awesome. The breakfast options are simple but delicious. The swimming pool for adults and the small one for children was so much fun. The Owners and Hosts deserve a praise for managing this hotel. Sharath the onsite manager was ever ready to help with all small requests. One has to reach here by Uber or taxi on their own. The hotel staff can arrange for taxi hires as and when needed for visiting far away places. 3 min walk to the beach was the icing on the cake.
−Honestly nothing we did not like. The booking online showed exactly what was the facilities. So no disappointment at all.

“Exceptional”
+A little quiet oasis . The pool is big and such a great spot to escape the shopping and noise but close to the shops and restaurants when you want to . The staff are lovely and helpful, the rooms clean , big and well equipped, ac , fans , tea and coffee facilities. The balcony's also have fans and drying clothes horse. The garden is lovely too, we cancelled 2 nights in Trivandrum to stay on here, as the place was so lovely to stay in, it's close to shops restaurants supermarket atm tuk tuks and don't forget to go to Stay Well ayuvedic massage right at light house end of shopping path at the beach, Kala was amazing. We even had 2 peacocks visit while we were in the pool
−Just need some moore deck chairs to enjoy that great pool

“Great place, great location”
+Banyan Tree is tucked away from the street from the shopping and beach traffic but a great location to everything , beach shops restaurants.zits a quiet and peaceful retreat. Rooms are great size , great balcony with a fan and clothes hanger so great for drying bathers etc. And a table and chairs for chilling. The pool is a great plus, big, kept clean, and has deck chairs for lying by the pool
−It's not a dislike, there could of been a few more deck chairs as people reserved theirs earlier for all day 🙄 with a sign even when they weren't there, so a couple more would have been good. There was a wellness advertised but not open.but there are plenty of the around. Just nice to be able to go straight back to your room if you have oil from head to toe from a treatment., but the place and staff are lovely so these are just small things

+This lovely hotel is an absolute hidden gem tucked down a small lane but only a 2 minute walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. It is incredibly well designed around a gorgeous swimming pool. All the rooms are very nicely furnished, they all have their own private balcony which overlook the pool with the added luxury of an outdoor fan! The gardens are beautifully maintained and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. We even enjoyed the breakfast they had on offer! We don't often return to the same place when we travel as we like to gather new experiences, but we would definitely come back here! Thank you so much for being a tranquil haven during a difficult time with the Iran crisis throwing our travel plans to pot !
