Rested with a friend at the hotel from 13 to 26 December 2012. The hotel is very well located, four kilometers from the noisy Kovalam. You can walk to Kovalam, or you can take a tuk-tuk for only 100 rupees. The hotel was built in the Kerala style, we were very comfortable in the room on the first floor, we went out through the balcony, the door was not closed, because. there is no stealing in kerala. The room has a free safe. Otherwise, the usual, fairly spacious room, daily cleaning and change of linen. The hotel has three swimming pools. The sea is nearby. But the beach is located behind the hotel's fence, here in the morning the fishermen pull their nets and sing mournful songs. After a few days you get used to constant observers on the shore. So, behind the hotel fence, a 20-meter strip of sand, in the evening, tables are set up on this impromptu cafe embankment. Going down the stairs, you find yourself on the surf strip. In the afternoon they put sunbeds here, they do not belong to the hotel, they cost 100 rupees for a sunbed with an umbrella. The wave can reach the steps, or it can recede, exposing a strip of clean yellow sand. The waves are constant, but you can enter by waiting for a smaller wave. You just need to jump over the surf and you can safely swim. For children and those who do not know how to swim, swimming is problematic. If you go left along the beach, after 10-15 minutes you will reach the beach of the Leila Kolpinski hotel, the beach is located behind the cape and there is no wave and the entrance is much smaller. Russians come there from all over Kovalam. Why Russians, because apart from Russians, no one really bathes in the sea. Indians stand for generations in the water, only a few of the Europeans swim. There are many Indian families and couples in the hotel, in early December there were many newlyweds.
The hotel has a very good Ayurvedic center. During our stay there was a super offer. An Ayurvedic package for 10 days cost $400, it included a doctor's consultation, daily medication at 9 and 18, two-hour massages as prescribed by the doctor, special vegetarian meals 4 times a day, which you order at the room service or at the Grill restaurant, the menu is issued daily by the doctor. The package also includes an hour morning yoga session from 6-30. Super masseuse Kala. Most of all I liked the foot massage, and after it the pajikizhi massage with herbal bags. All massages are carried out with a large amount of oil, after which they give out a clean bathrobe and you walk with a smile, sometimes flying up to your balcony from lightness in your body, stretching in an armchair and carried away into space in sweet nirvana.
Behind the hotel there is a picturesque lagoon, it is very good for morning walks and meditations. The lagoon is surrounded by coconut palms, as it turned out later, this is the territory of the Vivanta hotel, which is located nearby on the mountain, but this did not interfere with walking in the park, lying in hammocks and watching birds and chipmunks.

For a relaxing holiday with contemplation of the landscapes, this hotel is very suitable. You will forget about the fuss and worries, completely relaxing during massages. Friendly and smiling staff, caring workers of the Ayurvedic center will do everything to make you truly relax.
