The staff at Hotel Sea Face were friendly and courteous and the location is very close to the ocean. However, there are a number of things that could have been better. First of all, we did not appreciate that at check in we were asked for our passports, but not given them back right away. We would have gladly waited a moment for them to photocopy the passports and enter any relevant data into their records. Instead, they only gave the passports back when I inquired twenty minutes after check in. When we were getting settled into the room, we noticed that towels were very stained and the sliding door to the balcony was extremely difficult to lock. The air conditioning was loud, but fairly anemic in its cooling abilities for the first 12 hours we were there and then the air conditioner broke altogether during the night. They offered to put us into a different room, but that room had no sea view and was a bit more depressing than the room we were in. Like a number of hotels in India, their idea of a double/queen/king bed is really just two single (twin) beds put together. Not really comfortable for a couple that likes to cuddle before or while sleeping. Another problem is that this meant the air conditioning controller, which was fixed into the wall, becomes central to the bed just a few inches above your heads and it casts a red light on your faces all through the night. Not good planning on the hotel's part. A plus is that they changed money and gave a good rate.

Two night stay plus side was a pool expensive for what it is moved on to other accommodation near by for less than half the price admittedly with no pool but can hire a sun lounger on the beach for £1 per day

Have stayed here before and really enjoyed it, has to be one of the better hotels in Kovalam beach. We are actually staying here in a March and accidentally booked the wrong date, but the hotel let us change the booking free of charge even though we had a non refundable/changeable reservation. This shows what kind of a great hotel and staff this is. Definitely I recommend this hotel.
