I had a delightful stay at Ktdc Samudra in Kovalam, with breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea being the highlight. The location is absolutely fantastic, offering a sense of tranquility away from the bustling main beach. However, I found the service to be quite slow and the amenities a bit dated, which could use some modernization.
