Hotel Samudra (KTDC)

We stayed in Delux room 301 in the second week of March..the room has both poolview and seaview..when we stepped out of the room there was small sitting area and next step you were in lawn. .. one side was swimming pool and other side lawn followed by beach. Awesome.. When you step out of the room you feel that you are in a different world..You can listen the sounds of waves from your balcony itself.. Beach is in the backyard of the resort..the beach is almost like a private beach (away from the crowd ) Well maintained lawns and landscaped area spotted with rocks and coconut trees..Hammocks are very less..please provide some more.. KTDC properties always has an advantage of their unique location.. Staff were very helpful and friendly..Check in and check out were smooth but no Welcome drink on arrival.. Rooms are clean but the interiors , specially the Furniture looks very old and needs urgent renovation..No continues hot water in the bathroom.. Food was very average , not up to the mark .. if they improve in this area , KTDC Samudra will be the best in Kovalam..There was no a la carte option for Dinner, if you want a la carte option .. order for Room dining service.. We enjoyed the location and absolute value for money..

We stayed here for 3 nights and I must say the location is just amazing. We reached there in evening and it seemed a bit too dull. But the next morning when we came out of our room we were greeted with cool breeze and the wonderful scenic beach right in front of us with waves crashing into the rocks. It's a sight to behold. Their breakfast buffet is good. Lunch and dinner buffets were simply fantastic and considering the spread they gave it was worth every penny. The only complaint was the rooms are not upto the mark . Rest everything was 5/5. Recommended

The location of the hotel isnt very far from Thiruvananthapuram airport and is perfectly surrounded by green lush gardens and a calm and peaceful beach which is considered to be private by KTDC Samudra hotel. No words can describe of how beautiful the whole property is. People at front desk, housekeeping, IRD are very helpful and will try to accommodate your request as much as possible. If possible try to ask for a room on first floor, they give a beautiful view. Rooms have balconies. Positives : hotel has a special entry gate only for their guests to have access to Samudra beach breakfast buffet has many options to choose from food ordered from in room dining is tasty Few inconveniences that I faced : No hot water in the shower or bathroom the minibar made noise sometimes. I had to switch it off one night to sleep wi fi in the room wasnt working most of the times TV had only regional channels I could manage with these inconveniences as well. I stayed for 2 nights. If peace and nice service is what you are looking for, this is the place.

This is my 3rd vist for KTDC that place is very good and good location good rooms & good food and staff also good and ktdc is one of the best place for me and next visit i will plan with my full family

I was there with my family in last rainy season, after long journey we reach hotel midnight 2.30 but very fast checking help us to rest. wondering about humidity in corridor but when we enter in room it was child and dry. Thanx for caring that much. Food was awesome and with fantastic view. View from Room was Unforgettable. Kids enjoy pool area as other family members too,
