Soma Palmshore

This place was way beyond my expectations, calm & relaxing in nature's laptop Breathtaking view & calmness by the beach

Location 10/10 Rooms cleanliness 10/10 Morning buffet 10/10 Staff 10/10 View from room 10/10 we took standard double room with sea view

Just a suggestion nothing negative-They have normal water (RO) in rooms.As per me they should keep bottled water like bisleri, aquafina, Kinley (known brands across India)

Location was excellent

Ambience

Need to maintain

not sufficient car parking available

Breakfast was nice.

As per cost.

As requested was allotted beach facing rooms. Food was excellent. Staff were cooperative and courteous. Had a traditional vibe. Overall experience was excellent.

There was a power cut frequently during day time when we reached. So the AC were not functional. But was sorted later on.

Title: Relaxing Stay with Great Hospitality Rating: ⭐ 5/5 I had a wonderful experience at Soma Palmshore. The location is beautiful and very peaceful, perfect for a relaxing stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the overall environment was calm and enjoyable. The staff behaviour was very polite and helpful, and the service was excellent. The food was also very good and added to the overall experience. I am very happy with my stay and would definitely recommend Soma Palmshore to anyone visiting Kovalam for a peaceful and comfortable vacation.

Too good n staff very polite and helpful. Neat and clean too.

It was awesome experience. Staff is really helpful and well mannered. It's location is awesome sea facing resort. Calm and clean and well equipped with ayurvedic treatment

Had a really lovely stay at Soma Palmshore Beach Resort. The location is just beautiful—right by the beach, with such calming vibes all around. It’s a perfect place to relax, enjoy nature, and just slow down. The Ayurveda therapies and peaceful environment made it even more special. Apart from the therapies, the food was amazing! I’ve never seen so many varieties in satvik food, and every dish was just perfect in taste. The staff was warm and took great care of everything. I highly recommend this resort if you love nature and want to truly unwind. 🌊✨

I stayed 2 days at Soma Palmshore and had a great time! The reception team did a fantastic job - super friendly! Food, beach, and overall services were all good. We'll definitely come back again 😊

One week before i stay soma palmshore with my family. Its very beautiful sea view rooms and spacious. Food was very tasty. Nice behavior of staffs. I really recommended to visit the property.

le message ayurveda la localisation avec l'acces à la plage privee le staff bienveillant et amical notamment aux repas la piscine bien situee en hauteur pour les enfants

l'hotel meriterait un petit rafraichissement. la pollution plastique visible sur la vue de la côte sud pres de la mosquee mais ce n'est pas un probleme de l'hotel mais de l'inde en general

We stayed here as part of an Exodus tour of Kerala and the hotel was very disappointing. Everything is very “tired” and grubby. In the bedroom there was a dirty shower curtain which clung to you, the balcony was so dirty that I didn’t venture out and I didn’t want to touch the curtains as they too were dirty. Around the pool everything was covered in bird poo. It’s a shame as it is a good location but it really needs knocking down and starting again. In the UK it would be 2 star at best.

The fact that they provided an alternative option, having given our special cottage away to someone else ..

They gave our special hut away, to someone else, right before my very eyes…I had booked it ten months prior to our stay… The room they offered us was small, old and dirty The food was not appealing…they only had table salt (extremely unhealthy), It all felt very shabby They use 5g WiFi, which is dangerous for health

La situation est exceptionnelle. Place magnifique. Le personnel est extrêmement sympathique.

L’établissement manque d’entretient. interrupteurs crasseux et défectueux. Je me suis électrocuté. La piscine est très dangereuse pour les enfants, il manque des dalles et de nombreuses margelles, le buffet du petit déjeuner mériterait d’avoir des produits plus frais et plus variés. C’est tous les jours la même chose, pastèque, melon, melon, pastèque… Le chemin pour aller à la plage est dégoûtant, impossible de se rendre à la plage quand le GARDIEN fait ses prières ou lorsqu’il est à la mosquée le vendredi Une porte cadenassé empêche l’accès

I like the area, and it's opening to beach side. They serve water in glass bottles. Staffs are friendly

The room was nice but not great for the price i have paid. The washroom was below average, it's clean but didn't match the expectations. And had to wait for checkin more than 1 hour

Only the location is perfect with private beach access External staff at the beach are very courteous and helpful

Rooms are dirty and not maintained They take over booking and move Indian guests to different locations if their current hotel doesn't have rooms Staff agrees to everything but doesn't act upon it Preference is given to non Indian guests as they are more aligned to Ayurvedic treatment They couldn't even give a trial appointment for Ayurvedic treatment

First of all the place were it is located is really awesome, I get to go to the beach whenever I want cuz it was near the sea, plus the beach was there owns so it wasn't much crowded so it was really gud, and if we do want crowded then we could go to the beach which was at the down part from the hotel. The food was decent, idk much since we ate outside most of the time. The stuffs treated us really well, I really love the fact that they smiled most of the time and gave respect!! So the thing is the hotel is really Cool and awesome!!!

Accessibility

They advertise cottage villa and give normal rooms. No lift in the property

No lift lot of stairs up and down.

Location and view

Bathrooms

The pictures showed in the website and the real rooms looked completely different. I asked the receptionist to change the room still the room was very shabby, it was smaller than the pictures, it had less furniture and the toilet was completely different from pictures. I request a refund

Расположение и территория отеля прекрасны, свой пляж, но учтите, что шезлонгов на нем нет, есть на соседнем. Номер с видом на море, ванная комната требует ремонта, но мы понимали, соотношение цена-качество. Кухня индийская, на завтрак были бананы, дыня, папайя. По запросу делали омлет. Персонал очень отзывчивый, учли все просьбы и помогли нам в розыске нашего багажа, который авиакомпания потеряла. Спасибо огромное! Аюрвведические массажи хороши, рекомендую.

Вайфай плохой, увы. В номерах его нет.

Excellent Stay with Family having beach facing property & swimming pool...almost having a private beach..good service and good food

Nothing

Everything

The swimming pool was nice and the views from the breakfast balcony. The staff were friendly, but there were communication issues. Having travelled all round Kerela, this our final location and hotel was disappointing.

The whole hotel needed a refurbishment. A good sized room but the dated furniture all in the wrong place for phone charging, etc. No hot water. Some of our group of travellers had a wash basin in the shower. A very noisy foyer meant a poor night's sleep with the comings and goings of guests heading out for their 1AM airport transfer.

Beautiful beach! Wonderful balcony with a tremendous view. Plenty of hot water. Comfy beds. Great food! Very comfortable.

This is the best part of our entire kerela trip. We came for our daughter’s 7th birthday and it indeed made it special. Loved it.

We booked the cottage which was great. We had a few issues with WiFi and hot water but the hotel sorted it all out for us.

Nothing related to hotel but you need to note that there was no lifts

,Good location. The garden and pool were lovely with direct access to the most beautiful deserted beach. Basic but nice enough room with a balcony that had tabke chairs and a sun bed and fantastic view over the beach. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Internet is only in reception and restaurant, but II only stayed one night so it was fine.

The best in kovalam a mix of luxury nature and peace! The place is super luxurious linked with nature with a great view! Superb!

Had an amazing stay at Soma Palmshore! The location is absolutely stunning right by the beach with peaceful vibes and a beautiful sea view. The staff were super friendly and helpful, always making sure everything was comfortable. The rooms were clean and well maintained, and the food was delicious, especially the seafood! The pool area and the overall ambiance gave total vacation feels. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a relaxing and refreshing getaway. Will definitely visit again! 🌴✨

Private beach was nice but needs tidying up. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was ok.

Room smelt like cigarette smoke. Steps to the beach were slippery, and beach needs tidying of plastic and rubbish which wouldn’t take too long. Bird poo on sunbeds. Shower quality was inconsistent.

Location

Wow super. I take7 days treatment here. Its very useful to me.. I had knee swelling,neck pain such as more problems. But here I can get good consultation and good treatment. My health improved due to the treatment of somapalmshore. Very efficient doctors and well experience therapists. Very kind behaviors from the staff nd management side. I am so happy. Thank you soma palmshore.

Excellent place. Worth staying. Superb place. Staff is very cooperative. Superb services. Excellent location. Paisa vasul.place. we enjoyed this place very much.

The property has a separate beach space ! And the complimentary Breakfast was really really Good

Staff were attentive and friendly, food was great and reasonably priced. I requested a change of room as original room (cottage) wasn’t as private as I expected. My new room was great with view of ocean and close to the pool. Due to time of year the beach was closed but spent lots of time by the pool. This isn’t a luxury resort but great value and comfort for the price.

Private beach

NA

Time for renovation

The location

The private beach was closed on Sundays, which seemed unusual. The room size was listed as 19 m², but it was actually less than 10 m². The food quality was poor, with very limited breakfast options. Although the resort has four floors, there is no lift. The photos shown on Booking.com do not match this property.

Location is the best.. direct sea view from room balcony.. also their abhyanga massage was amazing.. one of the best massages i have ever had..

Room

Breakfast

Outside landscape was very good Swimming pool was also good.

Wifi was available only on Reception not inside room and Bathroom was not clean and very old property. Ac was not cooling properly and outside balcony was full of dirty and floor tiles in toilet was 100 years old .Really fed up with such properties suggesting booking .com

I went because I’d been before and there was a day of striking. So home was allowed out. So I quickly booked soma palmshore so I could spend the day in the hotel, in the gardens or by/in the pool. I love just floating in that pool looking up at the circling birds and letting life stop. I also had 2 wonderful Ayurvedic treatments and the restaurant is really accommodating for someone who can’t take too hot.

I have a feeling the water wasn’t being heated because it’s out of season, but once you got in the shower it was ok, it was cool shower.

The rooms were awesome. Service were great with all amenities. Would definitely visit again. Sea view is great and pool was nice with everything. It was clean and well maintained. The buffet was nice with live counters.

location

The pool facility , the private beach facility , Restaurant Facility and the aurvedic treatment.

The room maintenance is very poor. Especially the bath rooms. The shower tub is broken in many placess, tiles are brokens, wash basins have more than 50 cracks, doors are very poor maintenance.

Property location and view is good, due to that more are getting attracted towards the resort,but cordial welcome is missing every point that I feel, if you spend on spa, resturant, then you are a good customer.complementery breakfast was good,... check-out timing at 12 means it's 12only that's need to adjust,if we came at 3pm we can stay atleast 2pm but as per rules it's 12pm only.

Palmshore is our Kovlam home! We love the people at the hotel and the beautiful location.

the hotel is very good, the pool and the beach. but the best thing is the staff. we were met by wonderful girls who told and showed us everything. as for the hotel restaurant, the food was very tasty, huge portions, there was a wonderful employee Renjith, who took into account all our wishes. they even waited for us after the restaurant closed so that we could have dinner. The rooms in the hotel are spacious, air conditioning, shower, everything is in excellent condition.

I was in this 3 star hotel in India for a few days and was very satisfied overall. Really good for the category - especially if you don't pay too much attention to every detail. I had my own little house that was clean and cozy, so I felt completely comfortable. The pool did not particularly appeal to me personally - it was more functional than cozy. However, what really surprised me positively were the people on site: very friendly, helpful and authentic. I would especially like to highlight the restaurant manager Renjith. His service was outstanding – always accommodating, attentive and cordial. The food was consistently good, and the Panchakarma cure was at its best - professionally carried out and very soothing. Overall a pleasant stay with a great price-performance ratio.

It's near the beach and food was excellent

Our check in process staff was not good

We were a family group of 22 persons ranging from 2 yr old to 83 yr olds. V chose this resort seeing the reviews and the view. V had booked this through make my trip app. On the day of the visit,I had contacted the property to confirm the booking and asked about rooms adjacent to each other( if possible) & with minimal discomfort to the elderly as I had seen that there is no lift in the property . 1. They could have provided us atleast two rooms for elderly in the restaurant floor or one floor above. V had our seniors lumping & struggling @ stairs each time to restaurant. 2. Our rooms were adjacent to the lobby and they were not bothered to give our group some privacy, may b because v had booked through an app. V roamed through the lobby to nearby rooms 3. Some staff needs proper training as to maintain service quality and not to b rude. One of us overheard one restaurant person asking about our group & commenting aloud to retire to rooms early at night. Definitely lacks professionalism. May b they expected another group & were not happy to see keralites. 4. Swimming pool was good, but water treatment needs to b better. V had our eyes watering. 5. Beach view from property is good and so is the gate leading to a not so private beach. 6. Restaurant is acceptable esp the breakfast complimentary buffet. V had dinner too from there though there r several options outside. 7. It's a relatively old property aand needs some work. 8. Toiletries were not there in all the rooms and had to pay 750/- extra for a brd though v had booked for 22. 9. Approach road is good and about 25 km from city. . 10. They have a lawn where v could have some group activities. Over all, the group and location made it perfect though not the stay and the staff...

SomaPalmshore is an amazing place to stay if you just want to chill out for a while. The people are first class and were always there to help. The garden and pool are really clean and well maintained. The beach at the bottom of the garden feels as if it's private because so few people go there. Sunset from the rocks will melt you.
