Rockholm at the Light House Beach

My second time staying here..there will be a Third..a Fourth and a Fifth and so on. I love Rockholm.

Nothing.

An understated property which over delivers. Amazing equipped bedroom with a stunning sea and beach view. Abundant and delicious food. Attentive staff without being intrusive.

I was unable to stay any longer because there was no availability !

Perfect location right on the beach next to the lighthouse. Room was nice a big and comfortable. Staff very friendly. We found the food to be rather bland - not many spices and breakfast, lunch and dinner was all very samey.

We had not realised what we had booked into. It was more than a spa it was more of a retreat with treatment and strict rules. It was nice having a 2 hour spa treatment but felt that it was all thrown at us without explanation. Apparently we were unusual that we were only staying one night. It would have been nice to have had fore warning from either Rockholm or booking.com - when we had only booked 1 night.

Идеальное место. Локация, еда, номерной фонд и персонал. Все на высшем уровне. Я много езжу по миру и очень ценю качество. Здесь не к чему придраться. Моя оценка - 100 баллов из 100.

Вокруг отеля нужно полностью убрать мусор с камней и облагородить подьем к отелю со стороны океана.

The location to be one of its biggest positives it’s convenient and pleasant. The staff were friendly, courteous, and always willing to help, which added to the comfort of the stay.

The food was quite average, even though it was vegetarian, and didn’t really meet expectations in terms of taste or variety. The rooms clearly require renovation, as there is visible wear and tear throughout. the balcony glass panels were, unclear, and not properly cleaned or worn out which ruined the aesthetic and took away from what could have been a nice view. With better maintenance, room upgrades, and improved food quality, this property has the potential to offer a much better experience.

This place is incredible but don’t stay just for one night! It’s a proper Ayurvedic retreat: you will have a consultation with the doctor on arrival and they will set your treatment plan. There is daily mediation and yoga. The massages are incredible (and all included in the price!) Meals are buffets with good choice - all vegetarian and no alcohol is served. The location is stunning, right on a private beach, although the water’s quite rough so not great for swimming. You are also 3 minutes walk from a public beach lined with shops and restaurants. The rooms are beautiful and well equipped. Next time I will stay for longer!

hotel was clean and location was great

Very well maintained pool, mind blowing food, kind and lovely stuff, beautiful and breath taking views.

Mattress on bed, quite too soft.

Amazed with the special care we have received from the team in terms of a special dish, an exclusive song for us, as it was our wedding anniversary, and the ayurveda retreat. The staff were so good and cooperative.

Did not find anything

Very well organised and managed like a clock by managers and therapists. • Impeccable service during treatments and meals. • Therapists were professional, caring, and even helped me when I had an allergic reaction. • Food was excellent and restaurant staff were very attentive. • Yoga lessons were well structured and suitable for all levels. • Rooms were clean, comfortable, with fantastic ocean views

Reception staff didn’t show me around on arrival, and the layout across multiple buildings made it difficult to find my way at first. • Laundry service was poorly handled; my clothes were returned stained, including the one item I needed for travel. • Surrounding area and sea were not clean, with pollution and odours from the harbour sometimes disturbing yoga in the garden. • Bathroom design was impractical, as the shower flooded the entire floor. • Overall, the hotel felt overpriced for the location and quality of some services.

Everything can’t complain

Rockholm is a beautiful hotel with an amazing view of the ocean and beach. The food was excellent, as well as the Ayurvedic treatments. Staff are very friendly, helpful and always smiling. I felt relaxed and happy during my stay here. Hope to be back soon.

Everything

Nothing as such

Food Amazing. Had not realised this was a pure Aravedic Resort. The staff were amazing, service was out of this world.

I must admit I booked this hotel by mistake not realising it was a full on Ayurveda experience. It turned out to be the best mistake I ever made.. Absolutely superb! First and foremost what made my stay so good was the staff . Each and everyone was so warm, friendly and genuine. They could not do enough to make me feel at home . My special thanks must go to the front desk staff, Ancy, Viji, Sathish and Irfhan. Spent many an hour chatting and laughing with them as though I was one of their family. They are a credit to your company. As I said initially I did not book the Rockholm for treatments and yoga but I am now addicted . I have never felt more relaxed and healthy after my stay. Will definately be trying them again. Wonderful and varied meals. I am not a vegiterranean but the food was so tasty I did not miss meat at all. Compliments to the chef espicially for fish polichathu I had as a treat on my last night. Best fish dish I have ever tasted. As well as all this the hotel is spotlessly clean with the most magnificent views of the ocean Thankyou to everyone at the Rockholm I hope to return some day

The weather but that can't be helped apparently the rainy season arrived a little early. Saying that when you have views of the waves crashing on the rocks and such friendly people to chat with the rain did not seem to matter

Amazing staff, food and treatments! It’s a small boutique style resort and the level of care and attention was unbelievable. All the resort staff came out to see me when I left which I thought was very touching! Food was fantastic and seriously really good! They are quite strict on having no tea/coffee but you get used to it! Beautiful views from the restaurant and room! My massage therapists were absolutely lovely funny and a joy to be around!! Would definitely come back!

Bathroom was pretty small but that’s because I had booked a smaller room - I’d go for the suites!

Location is awesome

NA

Beach view from hotel room

Size of the room is too small and felt the location of property is congested

The view is brilliant and amazing staff and food is great!

The TV was not a smart TV, paying so much for the property and not getting a smart TV was a bit of a let down but the view and the property made it up for this

The rock view is awesome 👌 Ayuverdic SPA programs are professional and really good! 👍 Next time, i should stay here for a couple of weeks!

Nothing, except the construction noise coming from the building standing nearby, but I believe it's just temporary

The breakfast was very good with a mix of western and local dishes.

The curtains in my room were torn and in need of a change. OTT(Netflix) wasn’t available in spite of repeated efforts by the service engineer.

Wonderful experience. Sea by the balcony. Relaxing and relieving our stress. . Memorable experience in God’s own country truly. Kerala. Appreciate the expertise and hospitality of the staff specially Reshma and all of them.

Amazing experience,all staff are very nice in behavior especially restaurant guys.

Nothing

Friendly and relaxed and clean and beautiful position

amazing location . Rooms just on the top of ocean . Very friendly staff . Near to beach market .

Nothing as such

Location, staff, food are awesome

I didn't like the Bed. Two single beds are combined to make one king size bed. Due to partition in between the cushions, I felt uncomfortable.

The location and proximity to the beach. Nice staff and good ambience.

Noting specifically. (In fact during check out time, I had mentioned in the feedback form that 'Check out is not which I didn't like'. It doen't mean that check out was horrible. but what I meant was 'Check out from such a property which I do not like'. Please take in to that sense.

Perfect room with a sea view. Good breakfast on the terrace with a breath taking view. Good therapists, caring staff in the restaurant. A nice beach nearby with many shops and restaurants. I would recommend this resort (compared to many other places in India this is perfect)

The doctor lady didn't seem to be knowledgeable enough, also she was kind of not interested or engaged with the guests which was disappointing

location and food

small swimming pool

We've stayed in Rockholm for 2 weeks and really enjoyed it The restaurant is so good that we didn't bother to go and eat somewhere else most of the time when we were at the hotel. Besides the regular menu they can also do something on request and all of that is very reasonably priced (compared to most of the European prices for the same quality and service). The breakfast is mainly vegetarian but variety is wide enough and some options are changed every day, we tried something new in different combinations every day. Non-veg breakfast options are always present but limited and some of the breakfast dishes could be spicy The receptionists are very helpful and helped us with the currency exchange, helped to book a scooter (since it was a low season it was hard to find anything working), arranged a reliable transfer to the airport at a good price (compared to an external transfer booking services), they can also help with everything related to tours and other activities We've really enjoyed the pool, even though it's not so big and rather shallow it appeared to be good enough for us. The water, pool itself and surrounding area were very clean. We didn't go to the beach but during the daytime it could be really considered as a private beach as there's always nobody even though the beach itself looks pleasant and clean, at the evening there will be cloud of locals watching the sunset and local kids playing football The room itself was clean, cozy and with enough lighting options. WiFi has proven to be stable and rather fast. And of course the view from the balcony is breathtaking and it's main feature of the hotel for sure The location is also nice, in a very quiet and somewhat secluded area but in just 5 minutes walk to the main beach with all other hotels and restaurants All the staff is very helpful and sincerely friendly

Lovely rooms, absolutely delicious food at lunch, dinner, breakfast. Smiling and friendly staff.

No provision to serve soft drinks or refreshments by the pool. There is a spectacular view of the sea but the small "private" beach isn't very attractive and it is complicated to get down there. Nice swimming pool but water was a bit too chlorinated.

Beautiful boutique beach house - perfectly located between the Lighthouse and a small cove. Waking up to the sounds of the waves crashing on the rocks is idyllic. Great swimming pool and Yoga and Ayurvedic treatments too. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

in case when booking, know this is an Ayurvedic resort therefore serves no alcohol. Not an issue at all but if you are looking for a cool beer or G&T at the end of the day, you won’t find one here or even anywhere close by.

There is no comparison to this location till date in my experience in domestic travel. Rest everything was excellent. Breakfast was average but otherwise food is mind blowing

The only thing which I didn't like was excess of chemicals in pool water due to which our eyes were hurting.

beautiful boutique style hotel with very comfortable rooms with stunning views. lovely pool area, great access to untouched beach, great breakfast with a view. Staff are friendly and helpful.

a little pricey for a nights stay.

location, Private beach, sea view

cost was high

Location is stunning, The staff are all very proficient special thanks to Reshma on reception who went out her way to make us comfortable whilst waiting for a late night taxi to airport. The food menu is varied and all meals we had were delicious and to a high standard

Nothing not to like

Location and quality of staff

small size of pool and late morning opening at 8.00 am

excellent location with access to private beach. and short distance to light house beach.

the only negative thing was that I asked for 2 seperate beds but when arrived there was 1 kingsize. but stuff quickly resolved this issue.

Wonderful Hotel with awesome views from room balcony. Amazing breakfast and great staff bevaiour. Overall a great experience.

Exceeded our expectations! staff, esp at front desk were so attentive to our requests, a great stay at a beautiful place!

superb

Stunning views from the room and private balcony, and from the restaurant and pool area. Beautiful semi-private beach. Everything was immaculately clean and the air-conditioning in the room was super efficient.

It would be great if the pool area had a drinks and/or snack bar. It’s very peaceful and relaxing but we would undoubtedly have spent more time by the pool and on the beach if there had been a way of getting drinks etc.

oceanic view

outside cabs were not allowed inside the premise

Struck by the calm and clean appearance of the hotel with an amazing view from the room balcony. The pool is a great bonus and the hotel was v quiet when we stayed so had the pool to ourselves some of the time. Right next to the beach and the food was really good.

Nothing to really criticise,although maybe slightly overpriced but that was ok for a brief stay. The request not to change all the towels after one day was not upheld and it wd be good if rockholm and other hotels tried to be more eco conscious with this

Location

Very tight parking and booking team slightly heavy handed as was charged 15 percent mark up on my credit card. I had to pay twice to get the refund on credit card.

Location, Staff, Food, Treatment, Neat and clean,

Enjoyed

Location was just perfect Restaurant was amazing Staff so welcoming and friendly Everything works!

The method that you pay. An outside company is used and the exchange rate was not in our favour. However, the hotel went out of their way to rectify the issue

Perfect place, but please beware of sudden strong flows at the nearest beach, no danger signs/guards are there - better use hotel pool, if not sure of your swimming skills.

Good location, exceptional views. five minutes walk to the Kovalam beach and the lighthouse.

Breakfast had many choices - prepared and presented well. Plus the wait staff would prepare a breakfast item for you if needed. The wait staff was most attentive to each table and to the buffet!

Breakfast was very good and the location was perfect. A two minute walk to Terminal 1. Service was and the live music during dinner was great

Nothing.

Brilliant place to stay in Kovalam. Probably the best hotel due to the facilities and excellent location for walking into lighthouse beach restaurants, shops etc. Staff, food, rooms, cleanliness, swimming pool, totally great. We didn’t do the Ayurveda treatments but did do a yoga class. The Ayurveda appeared to be excellent but can’t vouch for this personally.

No alcohol served due to the Ayurveda culture. Shame because the food and atmosphere is fantastic and a drop of red wine would have been great, however appreciate this would go against the treatments band raison d’etre.

the location

the staff could’ve been a little more informative

wonderful

nothing

Great location, very cozy hotel

Excellent location, very good swimming pool, good food with wide range of dishes on offer.

Not being given a choice of currency when the advance prepayment was taken which resulted in considerable foreign transaction charges. Other payments were fine, taken in INR.

The ocean view and proximity to the beach and restaurants and shops

Wished it had a gym Food could be tastier

Location exceptional. Rooms spacious clean and very comfortable bed.

There is something missing on customer service. Asked to book train tickets they couldn’t. The pool in a morning beds weren’t out and ready at 8 when pool opened. Didn’t see anyone who was the hotel leader felt this person if they existed was missing.

The hotel has amazing views everywhere you look. Fabulous food, excellent staff. especially Ancy at reception and the operations manager, who both went out of their way to help me secure an extended visa. I could not have been happier here. very sorry to leave. Abhil the yoga instructor was excellent. Rooms are designed well, are luxurious and have everything you need.

Nothing

location

Limited selection at breakfast, mainly vegetarian dishes. I had a serious issue when charging devices, charger and cables were damaged and had to purchase new ones.

nice location near the beach,should have spent extra money to get the sea view ,although i don’t see any other difference other than the view.

Restaurant served some uncooked poultry for me ,which ruined my dining experience .good food was the reason i booked here.The food hype is not a realty,because you miss out on the basics.
