Hotel Marine Palace

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

The hotel is located at a 2 minutes walking distance from the beach. The property is neat and clean. We had booked 3 sea facing rooms for a night's stay which were at the top floor. Sea is clearly visible from the rooms and the balcony/passage. The rooms are spacious with clean mattresses and bedsheets. Complimentary mineral water bottles are provided in the room. Washrooms are clean with 24 hours hot water supply. Split AC and refrigerator both were working fine. Satellite TV with sports, news, Hindi movie & entertainment channels is there. 3-4 cars can be easily parked. The hotel has an elevator, a swimming pool & intercom system. The pool water was clean. The staff is extremely helpful & polite. Mr. Sujit at the reception & the security guard always greeted us with a smile. A nice gesture towards guests. Room service requests were quickly attended without any delays. Hotel has a restaurant & bar at the ground floor. They have a separate dining area for families at first floor incase you are with ladies/family & don't wish to take dinner in the restaurant cum bar. The food quality is pretty good. Both veg and non veg items were tasty. The veg biryani was awesome alongwith dal, paneer & other vegetable dishes. In seafood items the prawns fry was very good & also the fish curry was yummy. Rotis/chapattis were served hot & were made of whole wheat flour. It's a small hotel which requires a little bit of modernising. Don't expect 4 or 5 star category services. Overall a satisfactory and comfortable stay. Will definitely visit in future.

The room rate was much higher than the room type. We have booked 3 rooms with attached balcony but we have been given 3 rooms without balcony and excused that the narrow common balcony in front of the rooms are the only balcony mentioned in the booking site. The ac was not working properly and the remote and the sensor was broken, door lock was not working. Food bills are much higher but without any taste. Not recommended for anyone.
