Recently stayed at Soma Palmshore, Light house Road, Trivandrum from 23 Dec 2019 to 26 Dec 2019 and my overall experience was unsatisfactory considering I paid Rs.6000/- per unit per night. Had booked 2 standard sea facing AC units 115 & 116 and the rooms were quite shabby to begin with. The pictures put up at hotels.com are quite misleading to begin with. The hotel is pretty old and is in need of some serious maintenance. To begin with there is no lift to reach the rooms. So if you have old parents with you, the stay is going to become horrible as they have to climb up stairs. The door lock of one of the unit was troublesome, one room had a chain type flush system, both rooms had no Wi-Fi and service is just OK. The hotel does not have a stretcher and wheel chair and one of the cleaning staff collapsed in one of my room and evacuating her took some serious effort and involved calling about 6-7 people from the hotel staff. Restaurant food is decent and some dishes like Chole Batoore, Puri Bhaji etc were good for complimentary breakfast. The staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful but that did not cover up for their unprofessionalism. Will rate the overall experience as 4 on a scale of 10. ##### Satish Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dag Dec 22, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### Dag Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Dec 10, 2019 Liked: Staff & service The bedroom was fine. There was a balcony and near to the beach. The bath room was in a state of disrepair and needing a deep clean with bleach. Tiles in bathroom really needed to be cleaned. Linnen and towels could have bèn cleaned better. The dining room was basic however the food was a good quality.after we got to know the staff they were friendly and helpful. Food in dining room was good and reasonably priced. We had a massage organised by the hotel, this was good value. I had a yoga class which was great. We would return here. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### stuart Apr 28, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Good location Loved the gardens, the view and the temperature of the swimming pool, it was a good stay for the price we paid. The hotel is slightly dated but would only need a few changes to make it stunning as the location, a few minutes walk from lighthouse beach and you have your own Private beach is a plus. We felt there’s lots of staff around the hotel which could be updating things when they seem to have very little to do at times. The hotel is very clean which is the main thing, we enjoyed our stay. ##### stuart Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 28, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Patricia Mar 9, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very enjoyable stay Rooms comfortable, however the A/C was very noisy but we couldnt live without it. There is a kettle in the room which is totally unnecessary as there are no mugs or tea making equipment - we were told to just order room service which is very reasonable price. Food in the restaurant was good and the staff very helpful and attentive. Reception staff also very helpful - quickly changed our room in the middle of the night when we had a problem with the local wildlife. There is no hairdrier in the room but one was quickly available when I asked Reception. There is a super swimming pool with sunbeds and towels available and a willing pool boy to help put up umbrellas. The location is great with a beach on the doorstep down steps and a short walk to Lighthouse beach with all the shops and restaurants. It is a steep hill back to the hotel but a local tuc-tuc costs a very reasonable 100R. Overall it was good - I particularly enjoyed the yoga - but it is all a bit shabby and with some decoration and upgrade it could be 5\* ##### Patricia Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 26, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The hotel is a descent 3 Star Hotel. There is a small pool and an easy accesible semi privat beach. The beach is beautiful. The Ayurdeva applications are very professional with a comprehensive set of different treatments. The Soma is a small hotel and in no way can it be compared with his flagship mother Hotel the Somatheram.. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 21 nights in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Dec 8, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Anjana Aug 15, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Anjana Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Paula Apr 11, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Beautifully located Hotel . Great hotel with incredible views. The rooms are comfortable with a large balcony . However the bathrooms need a complete overhaul . The decor needs upgrading . However the location with private beach beautiful gardens and pool with walking distance to local restaurants public beach and tourist shops makes up for the dated decor . The massage spa gives fantastic value for money with wonderful services. The food was varied , very tasty and also good value. The staff could not do enough to help you. Checkin was quick and simple. Minor downside no safe in room nor fridge. However fridge was quickly supplied when requested for storage of medication. Overall we would recommend this hotel as good value and would stay there again. Would also consider booking the cottage if available . ##### Paula ### 4/10 Poor #### Carol, New Zealand Apr 7, 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Tired Bathroom and Room Functional The bathroom was small and tired and not clean i.e. stained shower tray and hair in plug hole. Room itself was ok but didn't have anywhere to put suitcase, no wardrobe, not tea/coffee facilities. The room had a balcony overlooking the beach which was nice. ##### Carol Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### lucia, london Feb 26, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Beautiful beach view Tucked out of the way in a beautiful beachside location, this fairly informal hotel with helpful staff is off the beaten track and an oasis if you want peaceful relaxation. Pleasantly weather-beaten with an airy spa on the top floor offering Ayurvedic treatments and yoga. Lovely garden and pool just above the beach. Pleasant balcony restaurant - just don't expect haute cuisine. ##### lucia Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### denise, england Nov 24, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### don,t expect to much and you will be ok what expected in need of a refurbishment room nice cleaned every day noise from generator kept awake at night breakfast very good ##### denise Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### eric, france Aug 24, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Hotel vieillissant mais dans un cadre exceptionnel avec son parc et sa plage prive et surtout un personnel d une extreme gentillesse et toujours prêt a resoudre le moindre de vos soucis (reservation de bus avion hotel ...) ... une superbe adresse ... ##### eric Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Lohit Jul 12, 2017 Liked: Staff & service ##### Lohit Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Travel Freak, India May 15, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Decent hotel in a vantage location near lighthouse Hotel is in vantage location close to Kovalam beach, light house and beach.

Morgenmaden er fin. Dejlig park ned til standen og poolen er rar med rent vand og udlevering af håndklæder. Nogle af tjenerne er dårlige til engelsk, men generelt servicemindede. Jeg boede på et deluxe værelse, der er dog ikke meget deluxe over det, men det er ok til prisen. Rengøring er rigtig fin med skift af håndklæder og sengetøj hver dag. Hvis jeg tager tilbage til Kovalam, bliver det helt sikkert på dette hotel. Bemærk, den fabelagtige skrædder overfor hotellet. Hans syninger er af høj kvalitet. ##### Ulla ### 8/10 Good #### Jane, UK Worthing Feb 6, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good location with private beach. We enjoyed our stay here relaxing in the pleasant warm pool and on the private beach, although the waves are huge so swimming is not recommended. The cottages are very sweet and worth paying more for as they are larger and have a fridge, mosquito nets and a sitting area inside as well as out. The restaurant had a lovely setting overlooking the sea and the breakfasts and snacks were very nice though there is no pool service. The pool is very pleasant but could do with more sunbeds and sunshades. There were shaded areas in the garden though. The hotel is up a steep hill on the edge of the town and there are many steps down to the pool and beach. It is very close to Lighthouse beach with all its shops and excellent restaurants. Not really suitable for children as sea not safe and pool is small and has many rules. ##### Jane ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Radisson Hotel Jalandhar](https://www.expedia.ca/Jalandhar-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Jalandhar.h905331.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza Ludhiana](https://www.expedia.ca/Ludhiana-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Ludhiana.h535669.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Aravali Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Taj-Aravali-Resort-Spa.h32567071.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra](https://www.expedia.ca/Agra-Hotels-The-Oberoi-Amarvilas.h551355.Hotel-Information) > > [Neemrana Fort-Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Alwar-Hotels-Neemrana-Fort-Palace.h16224166.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Udaipur Palace Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Udaipur-Palace-Resort-Spa.h2481058.Hotel-Information) > > [Neemrana's Baradari Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Patiala-Hotels-Neemranas-Baradari-Palace.h11900981.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Agra](https://www.expedia.ca/Agra-Hotels-Taj-Hotel-Convention-Centre.h4524241.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lalit Laxmi Vilas Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-The-Lalit-Laxmi-Vilas-Palace.h661769.Hotel-Information) > > [Moksha Himalaya Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kasauli-Hotels-Moksha-Himalaya-Spa-Resort.h2796246.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels.d178293.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Taj Ganges, Varanasi](https://www.expedia.ca/Varanasi-Hotels-Taj-Ganges.h526343.Hotel-Information) > > [Aurika, Udaipur - Luxury by Lemon Tree Hotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Aurika-Udaipur.h40886310.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Lake Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Taj-Lake-Palace.h526333.Hotel-Information) > > [Umaid Bhawan Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Jodhpur-Hotels-Umaid-Bhawan-Palace.h848864.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Winnipeg](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels.d6141041.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Madhubhan Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Anand-Hotels-Madhubhan-Resort-Spa.h5087959.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Chandigarh](https://www.expedia.ca/Chandigarh-Hotels-Taj-Chandigarh.h1217035.Hotel-Information) > > [The Leela Palace Udaipur](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-Hotels-The-Leela-Palace-Udaipur.h3021032.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ananta Udaipur](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-The-Ananta-Udaipur.h8704364.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Swarna](https://www.expedia.ca/Amritsar-Hotels-Taj-Swarna.h15935907.Hotel-Information) > > [Goa Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Panaji-Hotels-Goa-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h522986.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cabbana Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Jalandhar-Hotels-The-Cabbana-Resort-Spa.h2561042.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Ludhiana](https://www.expedia.ca/Ludhiana-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Ludhiana.h7597440.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Paris (CDG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/cdg/calgary-to-paris) > > [American Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/American-Airlines-Flights.cAA.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mco/toronto-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Dieppe (YQM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yqm/toronto-to-moncton) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/yvr/montreal-to-vancouver)
