Hotel Jeevan is situated conveniently right on the beach. We had a lovely room with a balcony. Went to sleep with the sound of the waves. Lovely early morning walks along the beach, spectacular sunsets. The staff were very friendly and helpful.there is a swimming pool and restaurant on site. Very relaxing holiday.

Very good position on beach with pool and restaurant. The manager was always listening to any comments we made and was always very helpful. This is India so don't expect white sheets and towels. They were always changed regular and room cleaned. But things like the shower head was missing and sometimes the linen would have small holes in them. The water sometimes was a very interesting thick dark brown colour and once run a little would be ok. The small fridge sometimes worked and there would be small power cuts. But the hotel has its own generator so would soon be back on after 1/2 minutes so no problems.

Disappointed that we did not have a fridge in our room aa it was 33 degrees amd we would have loved to have had cold water to drink! Breakfast was not good so we went elsewhere! The room was clean and fresh sheets and towels every day.

We came late by one day after the (paid for) scheduled arrival date for the room. The room was NOT clean and had USED sheets, this was at 1am thus it was a pain to have to wait 30mins after 12hrs of travelling for them to clean the room and put new sheets. We had a non-refundable booking for 10 days at this place. The pool was undergoing a cleaning, for which the manager said would only take maximum 2 days. We did not get to swim in the pool at all during our stay! It was closed for the entire stay. This was irritating since the reason we booked this place is for the pool. There would be multiple times that i would walk into the foyer to find the manager sleeping on the couch (i have proof). This is not good etiquette for a hotel, especially for the manager of the hotel. There were a couple long (2-3hr) power outages which seems to be normal in this location. But i believe they were setting up a new generator to aid for future outages. The cleaning ladies are very nice and respectable, they clean your room only when you are in the vicinity so as to assure you of your valuables safety. I dont believe they even have keys for the rooms as i had to open it for them when we would need a clean.

Location of this hotel was perfect right on the beach front in the middle of the lighthouse beach. When we arrived there was a slight delaying getting into our rooms but the staff did do the best they could to accommodate us. Jeevan is the only liscenced place to sell alcoholic beverages so if people wanting that much needed beer tend to head down here. The bathrooms weren't great and had to wait till around 9 if you wanted a shower that wasn't cold.

Poor value for the money. The Hotels.com voucher/receipt said ther was TV & fridge yet there was none. To get these 2 facilities I had to upgrade so cost was around A$90/night. This resort was not worth that amount. Same mediocre brekky each morning. Room was not cleaned for entire 4 days of my stay. There was problem with filter so swimming pool was murky green for most of my stay. Sorry but could not recommend especially at such high rates.

the hotel is in very bad shape. Its location is good, but the hotel itself is in need of major renovation. Kovalam is not a place to party, so one has to spend more time in his room (after 11pm or midnight, almost everything is closed). The family who is running this hotel are not doing a good job. They need to invest some money to make the place clean and confortable. All the workers are doing a great job and doing their best to help the visitors but they can't do anything against the bad management of the owners.

The good: - great location (on the beach). - neat rooms - nice pool (small but neat) The bad - Poor Room service. - Don't expect TVs to work in this hotel. - Limited options for breakfast (if included to tariff) Notes - Cabs don't reach the hotel. They drop you off at 5 min walking distance from the hotel. - No lifts in the hotel.
