Ktdc Samudra Resort

The location makes this hotel. It is right on the beach with sunning sea views. Some of the rooms were refurbished last year and lack the comfortable wicker chairs of the older rooms. The service is friendly at all levels. We have stayed here 3 times now and hope to be back next year.

A beautiful well maitained resort with good lanscape also it has a beautiful beach view and access to the beach , it hac beach view from the balcony and the bedroom &bathroom loaded with modern amenities and very clean ,on our stay restuarant and beer parlor was under renovation so it was closed but they were serving food on the rooms

We visited Kovalam while staying in the Hotel Samudra KTDC adjacent to Samudra Beach for 3 days during the 1st week of September 2023. We booked one room directly, with the cordial cooperation of the lady receptionist. One side of the hotel was under renovation, and that was communicated to us before booking. So we were allotted a cosy Seaview room on the first floor, as we desired. All necessary utility items—a comfortable bed and minimum furniture—that two people may need were arranged accordingly. We found that everyday cleaning of the room, toilet, and making beds with fresh bedsheets and pillow covers were mandatory. Perhaps these are examples of KTDC hotels in Kerala, as we witnessed the same practice in Munnar too. The main attraction of this hotel was the balcony attached to each room. The Samudra Beach was literally a stone's throw away from our room. It was a divine pleasure sitting on the armed chair on the balcony to witness the dance of waves. We walked in the sea-facing beautiful garden in the morning. Guards were ready to help us if necessary.  Since the dining hall was at a distance from our room and it was difficult to get there due to ongoing renovation work, we preferred room service for lunch and dinner. We enjoyed the tasteful food at a moderate rate. They sent us the dishes and cutlery sets with hygienic covers. Room service officials were very courteous. However, we went to the dining hall for breakfast. It was specious and clean. A variety of foods were available for self-service.  Though there's a language problem with the boys in the hotel, they managed the communication with their polite behaviour, wearing sweet smiles on their lips. Here, I would especially mention the cordial behaviour of Abhilash, who extended all possible cooperation to us. Kovalam Beach was 1.5 km from our hotel, and autorickshaws were always available at the gate. We have visited Kovalam Beach, Lighthouse Beach, and another seabeach ( I can't recollect the local name of the Beach) at 3.5 km from hotel to see the sunset. And this Beach was what we liked most because of its broad view and golden sand. We did marketing too from one government undertaking shop. Lady Receptionist Ashwatha arranged airport drop-off at a rate of one-third the cost, as quoted by MakeMyTrip. Her sincere and courteous behaviour really moved us. In fine, our stay at the Hotel Samudra KTDC was pleasant, and the experience was amazing!

Renovation work going on.. Mosquitoes in room..the house keeping did not provide mosquito repellent inspite of asking them. We ordered for milk and were provided milk in hot water..food was below average. No security for the rooms as renovation work going on. Not worth the amount of RS. 4460 which they charged.

I had the most incredible experience with Himalayan Shepherd during my ****** tour. From the moment I contacted them, Stanzin Dorjey Sir and his team were extremely helpful and kind. They went above and beyond to ensure that my trip was a memorable one. The timely support provided by the team was truly commendable. The tour packages offered by Himalayan Shepherd are the best in ******, especially their *** to *** tours. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fantastic adventure in the breathtaking landscapes of ******.

It's very good place and very good location and very good scenery 😃 Very good staff and very good room Everyone should go one time there and enjoy the hotel and scenery and this is very good site to plan your trip
