A great place to stay at kovalam away from all disturbances. Nice management, staff and super location, but the location is not advisable for very old and physically challenged peoples as they have to walk a bit to reach the hotel. But when you reach there it is an awesome place fell like heaven..

We had been here with 7 of my family members and had a very pleasant stay. This resort is not on the beach, one has to walk a distance through a narrow pathway. If you have considerable bags it will be tough to carry all of them, ask the hotel guys to help in carrying these bags. Rooms are large,... More

Golden Sands Beach Resort is good resort available on Kovalam Beach. I spent four memorable days of my life there, 27-30 November, 2012. About Hotel: The hotel is located near to the Light House Beach. The distance is walkable through small walkable Passage, but the sea is not visble from the resort. The Passage is dark in the night time... More

The staff are really friendly here and the food was good. Plus the pool was clean and refreshing (though surrounded by uncomfy or broken loungers). The rooms were quite old and basic, thin pillows, ugly bathrooms. Nice balcony. The route to get to the beach was easy but a bit grim. The price is very good, though, and the staff... More

We are a family with two small kids. We stayed at golden sands for a week. The staff is very helpful and nice. The restaurant is fine. The pool is excellent. It is well located, just a few minutes walk from the beach. The route to the beach is dark at night, but other then that it is fine. We... More

Quiet, clean and cheap with friendly staff, pool and WiFi. What do you need more ? Perhaps having not only pineapple fresh juice at breakfast! Despite monsoon season, we could safely swim in the waves of Kovalam beach. Malabar Café is definitively the best place for good Indian food on beachfront.

This hotel is very near to the Kovalam beach, but it would be quiet tricky to reach the beach. The hotel itself is quiet tricky to reach, you need to walk atleast 600 meters in the narrow lanes before you reach the hotel, but this is not a very hard. The rooms are very good and bathroom was hygienic.The service... More
