Beautiful location, great staff, delicious food.

There really wasn’t much to do outside of the property. The trips to see the elephants and the backwaters (listed on the website)were really too far away for a day trip. Also I had booked on the assumption that there was morning and evening yoga and meditation available. The only yoga included in the booking was in the morning anything extra was charged. I also was unhappy about the amount on plastic rubbish on the beach. I noticed that the hotel next door cleaned their beach front twice a day, it was a shame that Niramaaya did not do this too.

Staff was very friendly, the massage was good and well-priced. Food at the on-site restaurant is tasty. Room was very spacious and clean, with great air conditioning.

Compared to other resorts in Kovalam, the property is a bit older. The beach, while accessible, has a good bit of litter. The phones in the room weren't working as of my stay.

Excellent resort to rewind & recuperate. Very private & spacious with great views. Performances from local artists in evening is nice.

The hotel is very well situated for visitors who wish take the boat trip and explore the rivers & lakes. We stayed 2 days at Niraamaya Surya which was more than enough to relax and switch off. The staffs are very welcoming and very hands on . For a staff run hotel , they do make a great effort for the guests to feel comfortable.

The hotel is clean in general but be cleaner in some areas, example dusting fan in the rooms , remove spider web, wiping the lamps, cleaning bathroom floor properly, cleaning veranda etc

Amazing staff , great food at affordable Prices , beach access, wonderful old artefacts dotted around the property Fabulous deep massage in relaxing surroundings and

The view - a recently constructed enormous commercial cargo port blights the otherwise tranquil sea view especially at night as it is illuminated like a small town

The location, the cottages were beautifully decorated with a sea view and so tranquil and calm, morning yoga by the sea, watching the sunsets from the yoga platform, the friendly and helpful staff. They even prepared a surprise for my daughter’s birthday! We loved everything, it was just perfect! Would highly recommend a stay.

This place felt like a literal paradise on earth. From our arrival to our departure we had an amazing time. The staff were on hand to take care of our every need. We had a laugh with a few of them notably Siva who proved to be a bit of a stand up comedian! The food was exceptional and because they didn't offer any vegan desserts the chef made me a special one on our second night. It was such a calm and peaceful place. The pool was amazing. Probably one of the best places I've ever stayed.

Idyllic retreat with great facilities and staff. Restaurant serving delicious Keralan food.

A new port has been developed nearby but it does not impinge on the hotel and did not spoil our stay

This hotel totally exceeded our expectations, beautiful location with well kept grounds, delicious food, super friendly and helpful staff. The ultimate stay for a week of pure relaxation. The spa is also amazing.

This is not a negative comment but I think it would be worth having a consultation with one of the Ayurvedic doctors at the spa before booking treatments so that you can make the most of what’s on offer.

Amazing serene location with a beautiful swimming pool overlooking the beach and a good private beach. Nestled in the midst of a lot of greenery. The place is extremely relaxing and the staff are very friendly. The place also has a very homely feel with beautiful private cottages rather than the usual hotel feel which I preferred over Leela Kovalam. Overall absolutely loved it and will definitely recommend!

Nothing of note !
