Hotel Sea Face Kovalam

The hotel is in need of a complete overhaul. Their website is completely misleading as showing a high end hotel. In reality, the dining area shown under straw pararsols is non existent. The table cloths are filthy, white ones are not used. Our room was first floor sea view, not cheap but the fridge didn't work and it took a week to sort out. The bathroom was seedy and smelly. The quality of linen leaves a lot to be desired, stained, frayed and with holes. Bed linen could have been changed more than twice in three weeks. The breakfast room, with a lovely view of the beach, is seedy. Please don't advertise high end facilities that don't exist. Our stay wasn't cheap, and it wasn't value for money. The only positive thing I can say is that the hotel is in a good position. The cleaning and reception staff do their best.

I have been visiting Hotel Seaface for almost 20 years and I can't imagine staying anywhere else when in Kovalam. It is a good 3 star hotel set right on the seafront at Kovalam. The rooms are set over two floors with the upper floor rooms more modern than the ground floor. In spite of this, I always request a ground floor room as they are a good size and have a terrace which opens right onto the pool. The hotel setting is perfect. There is a new management team in place and they have made lots of improvements recently inside and out - with more to come. My room has been freshly painted, the bed was extremely comfortable with fresh white sheets and the daily room cleaning service is very good. Although the bathrooms are in need of an update, they come with toiletries and I always had plenty of hot water when I needed it. The room has a kettle with tea and coffee supplies, effective air conditioning and a good fan. There are plenty of lights and power points too. There is an outdoor terrace restaurant and a covered area where breakfast is served. I have found all of the staff to be friendly and helpful from the manager through the reception, restaurant and cleaning staff. The Hotel Seaface remains my first choice in Kovalam after this latest visit.

The location is excellent, and the staff is courteous and welcoming. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, providing a pleasant stay. The construction is slightly old, and improvements could enhance the experience further. Overall, it is a great place to stay. I would recommend it and would choose to stay here again on my next visit.

Best place to stay in Hotel sea face beach. Rooms are furnished to 5-star standards. And that view from the balcony or the swimming pool......... Wonderful. Simple but tasty breakfast. Open-air restaurant is the place to spend the sunset afternoons or evenings.

Staff were very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Food was good. If you pay a bit more you get a modern room upstairs which gives you a pool and seaview. All rooms are clean. The lower floor offers cheaper rooms with a pool view, more dated rooms which reminded us of colonial times and the bathrooms looked like from the 1990's.

Location is just perfect for this Hotel. This hotel is right on the Hawa beach. Even from non-sea view room, you can have limited view of the sea. Room are very spacious, clean and with all the amenities including mini refrigerator. It took us bit longer to checkin as our booking via 3rd party was not reflecting in their system. Breakfast was bit of disappointment with very limited options. We also faced bit of issue with location as it does not have direct access from main road. Hotel is not that spic and span as it looks in images. Overall an average experience.

Rooms and toilets very bad/ old , need immediate rennovation. Rate is very high, according to their rate people think, it will be good. But not good, not even value half price . Location good, staff very very helpful ,but many other same star hotels nearby with more clean rooms and toilets. |I am 25 year experienced international hotel senior manager . I cannot accept these types of cheating.|Save Indian hospitality industry with good hospitality service.

We stayed at the Seaface Hotel for three weeks in January 2025. On arrival we had several issues with our room despite it being one of the upgraded rooms. After several days when Sarath the Operations Manager was made aware of our issues he moved us to a room with everything working and reassured us if we had any further problems to let him know. This made our us stay most enjoyable and he is a great asset to the Seaface.
