We had initially booked one of the cottages in the grounds and were delighted it was so cute with a mosquito net and hammock outside. However in the night we had an encounter with the local wildlife and at 4.20am the Reception staff kindly moved us to a room on the 3rd floor. The room was clean with basic furnishing - comfortable bed but very noisy air conditioner. There was a kettle in the room but no cups or tea materials so really should be taken away. The breakfast buffet was good with helpful staff who encouraged us to have whatever we wanted. We did not eat dinner there, preferring to try out some of the nearby restaurants. The pool was great and the pool boy brought towels and umbrellas to the sunbeds. There was no drinks service round the pool. The small beach was clean and beds and umbrellas are available to rent. I joined in with 2 yoga classes, which I found challenging and enjoyable and also had an ayauverdic facial. In summary, a pleasant place to stay but has the potential for 5* with some decoration and upgrading.

This hotel is very good, it is clean, peaceful and the staff are marvellous we had one of the cottages which was brilliant and very quiet. The food is excellent and the restaurant staff are marvellous Sivrajhg, Pranav

I stayed in the standard sea facing bungalow and it was a real pleasure. Clean, spacious, ceiling fan and A/c working properly, daily water supply. I bought the 14days ayurveda Panchakarma and Slimming package and it was a delight. A clean beach and warm sea at my feet: perfect. The hotel was very quiet at the time of my stay (first 2 weeks of february) which, for me, its an ideal situation. The staff (specially in the restaurant) were exceptionally friendly and professional. My only not so good comment goes to the medical doctors who i didn't find were very knowledgeable on giving answers or explaining things very well. I really recommend a stay at Soma Palmshore!

I stayed with family (kid's b'day) on Oct 17. I was very happy with the hotel location and the cottage rooms which face the sea. Just the view from room makes everything worth. Also the private beach is a big advantage as it allows you some privacy. Hotel has a pretty decent restaurant and a very good breakfast buffet. Mostly families were staying so it felt safe. The public beach is 5 minutes walk from the hotel and has a host of shops and food options.. Few downsides are the lack of network, but given the proximity with beach it is bound to happen. Also, the private beach had a guard but I think they should have lifeguards as well for the whole day. They do have Wi-Fi though. Also a good spa. Overall I am happy with the choice and would recommend this hotel.

This is a good cost effective hotel with a wonderful location. it has almost a private beach which can be enjoyed from the Sea View Room. The swimming pool is a bit small but clean and at a good location. Food options are good. The best feature is its Sea View room and private beach accessibility.
