Location
Situated nearly 10 minutes' walk from The Tibetan Gallery Beach, the fantastic The Ocean Park Beach Resort Kovalam features Wi-Fi throughout the property, and parking nearby. This 2-star resort is a good starting point for exploring Kovalam, including the striped Vizhinjam lighthouse, which is merely 400 metres away.
The hotel in the Kovalam Beach district of Kovalam is approximately 15 minutes by car from Azhimala Cliff and Beach and not far from such shopping venues as Kovalam Surf Club. Guests can easily reach Samudra Beach Park 2.4 km from The Ocean Park Kovalam. The property also gives quick access to Adimalathura Beach, located just 5 minutes' walk away.
This Kovalam hotel offers 12 rooms, some of them feature a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, as well as comforts such as an ironing set and air conditioning. An electric kettle and a fridge are available upon request. They are equipped with private bathrooms offering a separate toilet and a shower. Guests can also enjoy views of the sea.
The Ocean Park is right near Malabar Cafe, serving Asian cuisine.
Review by hotel critic
I recently had the opportunity to stay at the Ocean Park, which is ideally situated near breathtaking coastal views. As a marine biologist, I always appreciate hotels that embrace their natural surroundings. The location offers stunning vistas of the North Sea, making it a perfect retreat for nature enthusiasts. Upon arrival, I found the staff to be friendly and eager to assist, though there was a noticeable shortage during peak hours. This led to longer wait times, which slightly marred the dining experience. Speaking of dining, I was excited to try the offerings at Santana Restaurant. I found the fish curry disappointing, with a flavor profile that seemed more reminiscent of over-spiced chili than the rich seafood flavors one would expect from a coastal locale. It was unfortunate, as I had anticipated a culinary highlight given the hotel's reputation. Breakfast included a variety of options, though the overall execution was inconsistent. While the room itself was spacious and clean, the service could benefit from improvement. A well-staffed establishment would elevate the guest experience significantly. This stay offered valuable moments amid its challenges, particularly for those who appreciate the beauty of the Nordic landscape.
