Hotel Marine Palace

Just returned from a wonderful experience in Marine Palace Hotel and the beach and village of Kovalum . The hotel is traditional Indian style and we had a large A/C room on the 3rd floor with a superb view and an awareness of the South Indian buzz! A/C worked well, as did the superb overhead fan. Hot water was abundant. There is a good working lift, which was handy too! Room was cleaned and bed linen changed regularly. Lovely "women. Just let them know you wish to be "done" everyday. We were happy. Reception people, very friendly and like to acknowledge you, though their understanding of other languages is poor. Didn`t worry us though! Only had hotel a food a couple of times. Scrambled egg and toasted sandwiches. We didn`t rate the scrambled at all!! Maybe evening meals are better. We prefer to try a number of local eating places nearby. All excellent. We used tuk-tuks most of the time..great fun! Also private taxi to go distances. Plenty of tour operators, who will help with your choices. Beaches all great and sunbeds so comfie! Attendants adjust the umbrella voluntarily when sunrays move..What a service! Highly recommend this hotel, positioning excellent..whole holiday can be said to be faultless! Wonderful cultural experience..and very safe environment.

Just returned from the marine palace stayed for three weeks we found this hotel for the price Was well above average in fact quite good rooms were cleaned every day so was the bed sheets the room had A/C fridge shower it has a pool and restaurant staff were very friendly and the manager mr Hari Kumar was very helpful and friendly nothing was to much trouble had a great stay and will again its not 5 star But its not 5 star prices either its also conveniently situated right beside the beach front, taxi ranks and tuktuk ranks ask tuktuk drivers for price first theres always one.

It is located in the main beach in kovalam just next to the beach and main parking. Great location. The rooms were average. Dining options limited but plenty available nearby. Breakfast starts at 8 and so i missed it as i left at 7. Even coffee not available at this time! The rooms are decent sized, with minimal amenities. There are AC and non AC rooms and a bar attached. Room service is prompt. The staff very friendly and helpful. I might consider this if i were to visit again.

I stayed with my family. Lovely location and stuffs r very cordeal and polite. Room is spacious (AC deluxe sea facing). Yes no one is perfect they also can improve but I will give a Thumbs up those who want to stay is this hotel with a great view

We stayed 2 nights before traveling through India. It was the perfect place to get over jet lag after 20 hours of travel time. Extremely helpful service and the air conditioning was amazing! Walking distance from the beach and many great restaurants and shops. We will stay here again when we return with our family
