Uday Samudra Leisure Beach Hotel & Spa

the only thing i didn't like about the hotel they will charge you 30rs for dental kit though in all the other hotel it was available for free.

The hotel was excellently laid out giving a feel of space and surroundings. The room did not however have any view of the sea which is what travellers go to see in Kovalam. The welcome drink was pleasant and the lobby was vast and offered a good way for teh

was certainly not a 5 star hotel as your website suggested,public toilets smelt,no extractor fans,no windows,no attendant.

As we drove on the Kovalam Bypass road looking for this hotel, though there were lot of signages to guide the traveller or guest towards its property but the main diversion doesn't have the impressive big signage as the adjacent Taj Vivanta has. The entrance to the hotel is immediate but impressive lobby and reception. The welcome was nice. We were escorted to our rooms which were facing the sea. The view was nice and the property has been nicely built and laid out with three swimming pools , restaurants and dining areas. Rooms gave away that the property is old as the furniture and TV were not up to the mark. The bathrooms needs a overhauling as the mirror was old , bathtub had cracking and the faucets on the taps were coming out. Service was good but a we were late though maybe due to the size of the property. Food seemed average as they can do much better in this department especially in the breakfast. Bar needs to be more equipped with variety of beer & Scotch. First bar I have seen which does not allow any snacks to be served there except peanuts. The visit to Ayurvedic massage centre was nice as they offer a variety of massages. Overall Experience: Though they claim its a five star award winning property but clearly I do not understand how as the rooms need serious makeover if it needs to compete in the 5 star segment. The location of hotel is very nice right on the small beach. If they put in 30% more effort it can truly be world class resort.

The food quality is very good but it is very expensive, Services at this hotel was average. The staff behaviour was average. Overall it was a good stay at the hotel I will rate this hotel as above average hotel I will recommend this hotel to my friends for future bookings.
