Niraamaya Retreats Surya Samudra Kovalam

We had a wonderful experience at the restaurant in Niraamaya Hotel. We ordered the seafood platter and the Kerala-style bread, and everything was absolutely delicious. The seafood was incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked — truly outstanding. The service was excellent, very attentive and professional. We felt welcomed and well taken care of from the moment we arrived. A special thank you to the chef — you can really feel that he loves his work. His passion shows in every dish. Everything was made with care, flavor, and heart. We are very satisfied and highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you for such a beautiful dining experience.

General: We were a family of 12 spread across 4 different rooms. As the rest of the reviews goes, the rooms are very spacious and well spaced out. The view from the pool side restaurant is amazing- we enjoyed some nice cocktails out there. Rooms: The beds are uber comfortable, hot water was constant, air-conditioning and fan was seamless. However, most of the items were missing upon check-in and when request was sent it, it did take a really long while for them to arrive; 45 mins in one instance. No mosquito troubles for us. Breakfast: Was rather average, nothing out of the ordinary but was delicious and service was prompt. Mosquitos might be an issue at the restaurant. Issues': We did request for a heavy duty luggage weighing scale the day before check-out and we were assured that it would be ready at our time of check-out. However, on the day of check-out, it took them nearly 1 hour to bring one out. They brought out a human weighing scale. It baffles me how a seemingly 5 star property can misunderstand this request and how a human weighing scale can measure luggages? At time of checkout, we had to wait for almost an hour over for our luggages to be brought out. There was probably a manpower shortage but better planning needs to be sought out by management to circumvent this. Overall, we enjoyed the stay and will be back again but really hope to see some improvements.

This place is a heaven on earth. The views r to die for. A place perfect for complete rejuvenation. My husband daughter and I spent 9 days in this pristine location and felt the calm like never before. Dr Ajay and Dr Lakshmi handled all our queries with patience and designed a tailored plan for our well being during the stay and after. Most of our issues we could see result during the stay itself and we cant thank them enough. Mr. Unnis yoga and meditation session just set the tone for the day with kitchen staff making sure we didn’t miss the regular food by preparing our ayurvedic food so tasty and hearty. Samson was always on his feet to listen to our repeated queries with smile and promptly service. |All housekeeping, reception staff were always genuinely smiling and welcoming. Would recommend this place to anyone and everyone who wants to connect with self. Go for it!!!

Our stay was nothing short of outstanding. The location is breathtaking — serene, scenic, and perfect for unwinding. The hospitality exceeded expectations; the staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of with warmth and professionalism. The food was another highlight — delicious, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. Overall, it was an exceptional experience that left us with beautiful memories. Highly recommended!”- especially the food and beverage manager “Thangaswamy T S” Was very good in receiving & Considering the feedback provided on Food & tried to work for better quality & taste of his customers. Kudos to him & his team for satisfying our cravings towards Kerala food.. looking forward to the venue again in the future. All the best guys!!

We had a great time here. Wonderful location with great views, the staff are super friendly and helpful, and the resort has everything inside. Unlike other resorts, they listen to their guests rather than just trying to get them to spend more. The restaurant is excellent for Indian food, although it can get monotonous after a couple of days. Spa was excellent. Room service was good but a few requests were missed. Although we didn't take kids, it looks like it's kid friendly. Overall, very positive experience and will definitely visit again.

Words don’t describe the paradise this place is! Serene ! Purely blissful! The customer service is true to its meaning. We came as a family to take a pause and we found the calm and peace we needed. Must Visit. Thank you Team Niraamaya @Kovalam for such a wonderful experiance! I would also like to mention that I needed medical attention and the manager - Mr Ameya Mandke made sure i was taken to the best hospital by one of the employees - Mr Krishna Kumar! He managed everything for me and got me the right treatment in time. Thank you for all your time and attention Krishna sir.

Amazing location we stayed so far at Kovalam. Rooms are very spacious. But housekeeping can be improved. Many items were missing on check-in. But once we reported, they provided those. Initially service was a bit slow may be because of full occupancy since this is a season. Later they improved on the service. Location scored full marks as it is very calm and more green. Best place to relax . Not a place for kids as activities for them are very very less. If you want to go for yoga , meditation and wellness spa this is the place. The yoga master Mr Unni was very pleasant and accommodating. The sound healing session was a refreshing one. Morning sunrise yoga sessions were too good and the location for that is right next to the sea with the calming wave sound. There were different activity sessions like pottery. Morning breakfast spread was average. Not upto the mark. Restaurant staff were courteous and helpful though. They can improve on the menu considering the charges. In room dining for dinner was nice and tasty. They accommodated our requests for items which were not in menu and the restaurant in charge Mr Swamy was really helpful. Spa experience was great too. The masseuse who did for me was Ms Sindhu and Dr Lekshmy advised on which therapy to go for based on need. Overall great experience Be prepared with mosquito repellants. From resort they provide fuming and they also provide mosquito repellant plug in options if asked. Rooms come with mosquito nets also.

Good staff. Good chef umesh Unni yoga teacher are really good takes personal care /good Ayurvedic dr and treatment , despite our request to book away from harbour they booked us next to harbour , did not inform us about construction ahead . Not even one night we could sleep as construction went through out . We took premium ocean view cottage feel that was not professional on part of management. All the best to staff
