The location of this hotel is awesome. It is on a small hill that overlooks the ocean and the beach. The landscape view from the room is breathtaking. The pool is great.
On the downside, since it is maintained by the Kerala government, the service is not great. The complimentary breakfast buffet is nothing to write home about. The check-in experience seemed like going to a government office for getting some official work done. The staff are indifferent at the reception. On the other hand, whenever I called house keeping for extra towels or any issues, they were prompt. The pool and the hotel grounds are very well maintained.
The hotel is not quite value for money in the peak season. The rooms are outdated and need updating. There is no Internet access. The air-conditioner is central and we did not have much control over the temperature. The temperature controls in our room were set to the lowest cooling and it was still a little warm. We had to turn on the fan to stay cool.

The water in the bathroom was very unclean and muddy in color. On complaining the hotel staff simply said it is due to some problem in their water tank. We could not even take bath.

The hotel was a quiet comfortable for a stay. The room was good and cleaned on demand. The bathroom was cleaned but was in style not suitable for average Indian as no jet/water facility was available in the toilet seat. Food quality was average as no north Indian dishes prepared properly even south Indian dishes were not of the standard being in South India. The location and landscaping was very excellent and I'll recommend the hotel for stay.

This is very fabulous property located on the beach in peaceful ambience.
this is not near to railway station airport or busy shopping places as this beach itself around some 18 km from trivandrum city
There are total 3 beaches and this hotel is located on 2 nd beaches.giving very good view of the sea .but please note the food is typical and very expensive not upto the mark
The staff was helping and courtius but food please tell them to improvise.Otherwise i will say everyone in search of relaxation should goto this place
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.

we have stayed in the property on 25th and 26th February 2020. Best part about the property is the location, right on the beach. It is well maintained property. staff is very courteous. Front desk people were helpful and check in and check out is smooth. Offered a welcome drink also on arrival. Were given a ground floor beach facing room. rooms are spacious and is in good condition. Property is old, but is maintained well.
Breakfast is good and have a nice spread. Dinner is not available in a la carte all the days, it depends upon the occupancy and if you still need to eat a la carte, then you need to order room service.
They has an adult and kid swimming pool with attendant during operating hours. The grass lawns in front of rooms are really good and nicely maintained. Way to beach is paved and a security guard at the gate near beach.
Overall a very relaxed and satisfied stay and a good place to stay.
