It was only a short walk to the beach and there was a very good choice of restaurants. Bijou was the perfect host always on hand to help with any requests we had regarding the room or arranging a tuk tuk. He even provided us with a sturdy umbrella when the rains came down.

Set in Kovalam, less than 1 km from Light House Beach, ATREYA AYURVEDA BEACH RETREAT offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

Our room and balcony with sea view was lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for you. The doctor was kind and the treatments were also good. The people at breakfast went over and above to try and make sure you were happy. Watching the eagles and hawks fly as we were so high up was awesome. A short walk to Kovalam/Lighthouse Beach which was great with shops, restaurants and sunbeds available on the beach and clean sea. A very good stay, would definitely go back.

    Compared to Varkala I found it easy.

    Compared to Varkala I found it easy. It’s well geared-up for Europeans and the shopping is great. However, it’s a small place so ten days was far too long for me to be there. On the whole it is cheaper than Varkala and although dangerous for swimming, it is manageable, unlike Varkala where I was unable to actually swim for five days

    Good place to visit but stay in the hotels on the main road. Enjoy sea food in the restaurants on the beach. The beach needs clean up of rubbish. The best place to eat was Lonely Planet and Jeevan restaurant for beer and food.

    Kovalam is a nice beach.

    Kovalam is a nice beach. I had visited this place almost 40 yrs back as a kid but this time was a difference experience altogether. It is great if you are able to hire a car here and then move around. The experience from lighthouse on the lighthouse beach is something unique. The beach itself is nice and clean and you do get beds at INR 100 where you can rest and put your clothes while you take a small dip in the sea. In case you are looking for vegetarian food, the options are less but not non-existent. Overall a very nice stay.

    This review for Lighthouse Beach - It is good if you enjoy a beach environment (no sandflies). Little else to do around there, but visiting the lighthouse is OK. A few good choices in restaurants. 25% more expensive (hotels and restaurants) than expected (compared to other areas in India). Tuktuk and taxis at both ends if you want to go elsewhere. Not many travel agencies around for sidetrips. Enjoyed Oceano Di Cafe Authentic Caffeine.

    The location is really good, behind the lighthouse on the light house road, 5 min walk to two beaches. Extremely close to the beach and decent restaurants and Kovalam beach yet nicely tucked away from the touristy lanes and traffic of Kovalam beach. The rooms were neat and well maintained and looked after by Mr. Babu who was extremely pro-active, attentive, responsible and responsive, courteous and helpful with any information/assistance we required. The services, location and basic amenities are a real value for money.

    On check in we noticed renovation works being carried out next to our room. We accepted works needed to be completed but the 2nd day into our holiday varnishing works in the next room were being done which left a very strong lingering smell in our room which was unbearable. After talking with the Reception staff they offered an alternative room which we took. Room very spacious and clean with a great view of the coast line, Nice breakfast and Hotel facilities good. All staff very friendly and welcoming.
