This was my second visit to the resort and this time I spent 10 days for Rest and Relaxation. My experience even exceeded my first visit. In short, from Jasmin Luiz to Sonu Koithara on the management side to Sherin (Jiva Spa) and the staff in Jasmin and Curries restaurant made my stay truly memorable. The Customer Service was exemplary.... More

Firstly..the hotel setting is just WOW...simply idyllic. We were contemplating on where to stay, Leela or Taj and Kovalam. We made the right decision. The rooms are tucked in lush green forest on the hill. You walk down the steps into a jade green lagoon just surrounded by thousands of palm trees. The pathway then leads to the beach. We... More

Let's face it. You go to Kovalam for the beach. Taj Kovalam has everything for a great holiday except the beach! this property does not have a private beach like the Leela Kempinsky does. We booked a Premium suite with a private pool. The views were lovely and the room was spacious and comfortable. The only fly in the ointment... More

The access to beach was almost nil. They have put stones across the edge of the sea, which does not allow you to even touch the sea. Also, the place is quite risky. There was no life guard available there. Rooms are not that great compared to amount that they charge. The buggy service is extremely slow. You have to... More

I was at Vivanta by Taj, Kovalam for 5days last winter with my parents. It was exactly what we needed - absolute relaxation. The sunset/sunrises at their private beaches is a delight. Also, the way the hotel's sprawled out - makes sure you dont miss anything. It is perfect if you're looking for a few days to sleep-out all the... More

We came here for 5 nights to end a tiring but really enjoyable 15 day tour of Kerala booked with Musafir Tours (highly recommended) Everything was as expected of a hotel of this class in India. Service food room pool drinks etc were all really good - especially the Curry restaurant, truly delicious, we went twice during our stay. Breakfast... More

This property by Taj is amazingly beautiful! It is so serene and has a tranquilizing effect on you the moment you walk in! The rooms have a beautiful view and the infinity pool is to die for! You can see the pool, the lagoon and then the never ending sea all in one frame and its priceless. The staff is... More

The Taj in Kovalam is an ideal place to begin your Indian holiday or as your last stop before returning home. It is very relaxing, the food is consistently good and the service is up to Taj standards! There are three different restaurants and the food is very good in all of them. The main restaurant is adjacent to a... More

A lovely location and a lovely hotel but let down by the housekeeping. Our room wasn't cleaned properly until after 5 days, I complained to the manager after we were left just one bath towel for both of us and no bath mat or hand towels. The surfaces weren't wiped down as condensation rings left by glasses were still there... More
