Located in Kovalam and with Light House Beach reachable within a 4-minute walk, Hotel Peacock provides concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a shared lounge.

This place is good! The rooms are very big so there are also armchairs inside to sit. You get towels and there is warm water (which you don't need because it's so warm around here). We had a balcony with views to the palm trees. The owner, Bijoy, is so nice and he will go the extra mile to help you. A chat with him is also very pleasant and he can give you advice if you need for local things to do. A big plus point: no stray dogs in the inner garden...;).

    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

    2 or 3 days is enough for a short break in the beach area as its quite small.Nice restaurants and shops,beach and sea clear.Sun loungers and parasols cheap for the day .Street sellers can be pushy and too many but they just trying to get business.

    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.

    Good communication from Charles prior to arrival and helpful information in person. I booked the single room which was a reasonable size and very clean, with the addition of a good balcony. No A/C but a good fan. Good Hot water supply and the use of a Fridge etc. . A few mins walk to beach. Very well maintained building. Good value option for solo travellers in Kovalam

    Nothing actually as it’s misleading to be a 5 star hotel. It is not by any means or standard a 5 star hotel. Very bad experience and was meant to be a momentous occasion. Hotel Management manipulative behaviour is disgraceful.
