Golden Turtles Beach Resorts

I stayed in this villa with my family and it was a bad experience. When I reached there, no staff there helped me and took money for AC and kitchen separately from me. And from here you will find no restaurant but no shop nearby. And no taxi or auto available. Very flood area.

We had a very nice experience in this resort, the place is very calm and quiet and also clean and tidy. We can just relax at the balcony and enjoy the sea view. It has all necessary facilities and also the care taker is a nice and lovable person. Totally we had a very good time. Thank you for the management.

I stayed here for 2 nights. We were four friends and took up 2 rooms on the first floor with balcony and had and amazing see view. They have parking available and the care taker are very helpful and helped us in navigating to the place. The rooms are very spacious, neat and clean. The best part being you can walk to the beach, also other famous beaches like the light house beach is nearby. Also you have some good restaurants close to the place. They also have a parking area. Are stay here was very relaxing, we also enjoyed our interaction with the fishermen early in the morning.

We hired the whole house for a day to for a family get together but my family members are not at all happy. Actually the place is very good but the facilities provided are not at all upto the mark. When we booked the host din mention there is no TV and all. Kitchen was smelling very bad when we reached. No toiletries provided the towel was also smelling bad. Before booking we asked the host about barbeque facility he said u can do it after booking done we asked the caretaker about that he said it is not possible as some problem is there and locals issue. Host should be knowing all these things. And the TV which is there is older than my grandfather. Overall bad management that's all.

Really cooperative and friendly staff. The room we stayed in was very spacious and comfortable offering a view of the backwater and the beach. The only downside is that the main beach and restaurants are a bit far from here. Total value for money if you have vehicle of your own.

Good guest house and nicely run, as always in India, room for improvements, if you are looking for perfection you won’t find it in India unless you pay ridiculous money. The golden turtles is safe,quiet, and clean. Within easy distance to amenities, we have our own scooter so great location. Good value for money,helpful people. Over 25 years believe me we have seen much worse.

this place is 3km from famous beach lighthouse. but its real paradise for those who want listen and observe birds, be alone without any tourists, take a small walk to nearby ocean with everyday fishing of locals. Here also are beaches. and there is small one opposite the homestay. iys only need the boat. unfortunately, when we had been there, boat was under water.|| the best chain of restaurants located 10 minutes by foot. ||every morning tables from homestay were placed on the lawn near backwater and we took there our breakfast. we bought some food in supermarket and fruits on market and add them to our breakfast. the hotels boat sunked , so we walked around the backwater to ocean. but this didn bore me. it was nice walk. 10-15 minutes.||rooms are really big. hot water i didnt see during this week but it was ok. we had rooms without air-condition but fan worked good. ||if in my life i will return to kovalam i will stay only in golden turtel or near.

Summary: Go there but only for one or two days!||Great room with a small kitchen. Great for the price!!!|... but no possibility to go swimming. Backwater is too dirty, the "beach" is 10 minutes away but we could not swim because there were only stones where the waves crashed.|No restaurant in the vicinity, 10 minutes by foot are the next ones. You need a torch to find back in the evening.||It was great to see the real India (its located in the middle of shacks) but also nasty because they BURNED PLASTICS in the afternoon. Also the windows were closed the smoke came in the room.||The owner was nice but came only for the payment, the HOUSEKEEPER IS STRANGE.|LOTS OF MOSCITOS!||
