Really good Dining Experience

During my stay, I dined at the Grasshopper Restaurant, and it was a highlight of my trip. The food was not only delicious, but also beautifully presented, enhancing the overall enjoyment of each meal. The service was perfect, especially from staff members like Mr. Sahir and Dongang, who made every meal nice. I highly recommend this dining experience to anyone visiting the hotel!

Relaxing Spa Retreat

I had the pleasure of visiting the spa during my stay, and it truly was the best massage I experienced out of my three visits in different cities. The spa was well-managed and the staff provided a professional and relaxing environment. I particularly enjoyed a soothing Ayurvedic massage that left me feeling rejuvenated. The amenities were clean, and they even offered robes and towels for comfort.

Luxurious Room Amenities

I stayed in an ocean view room, and it was absolutely stunning! The room was spacious and modern, with a large bed and beautiful décor. I appreciated the separated shower and ample restroom space. The attention to detail in the amenities made my stay incredibly comfortable, and I couldn't have asked for a better place to relax after a day of exploring.

Family-Friendly Fun

I traveled with my family, and I was delighted to see how child-friendly the hotel was. There were plenty of activities for kids, and they loved the spacious grounds to play and explore. The upgraded room we received even accommodated our children comfortably, making for a nice family getaway. This hotel is perfect for families looking to create lasting memories together.

My stay at Udaya Samudra Leisure Beach Hotel and Spa had its ups and downs. The arrival experience was warm, but the condition of the hotel felt dated and many areas needed maintenance. The service from the staff was friendly, but not always helpful when issues arose. Dining had its hits and misses, especially during peak hours. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I would explore other options in Kovalam before returning.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms were spacious, but definitely showed signs of age. One room was odd with a foul smell, and the bathroom tiles were a safety concern.

Service

7.0

The service was courteous but lacked the warmth I expected. Some staff were helpful, but others seemed indifferent.

Location

5.0

The hotel is set away from the beach, with only a distant view, which was a bit disappointing for a seaside resort.

Dining

6.0

The dining experience varied; the buffet looked great but ran out of key dishes when we arrived late. Breakfast was better the next day.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel had multiple pools and recreational options, but they felt underutilized due to the massive corporate event during my stay.

6.8/10

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. While the pools were well-maintained and the staff showed great effort in providing service, the rooms left much to be desired with unpleasant odors and a general lack of upkeep. The beachfront was also quite disappointing, making it less ideal for beach lovers. Overall, while there were some positives, I wouldn't recommend it for the price I paid, as it felt more like a mediocre stay than a luxurious experience.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms we experienced were spacious but had a lingering sewage smell, especially the one we initially rejected due to its shabby appearance. They seemed clean but showed signs of age, so I would rate them a 6.

Service

7.0

The service overall was decent, as the staff tried hard to accommodate us, especially when we complained about the smell in our room. I would give the service a solid 7, though it could be better.

Location

7.0

The hotel is situated right by the beach, but it felt quite secluded from the livelier parts of Kovalam. You can walk to other beaches within 10-15 minutes, but it isn't ideal for bustling activities nearby. I would rate the location a 7.

Dining

6.0

Dining options were decent. Breakfast had a reasonable variety, though I'd call it a bit basic. I would rate dining a 6, as it didn't quite meet my expectations.

Facilities

8.0

There were three pools which were inviting and enjoyable, and that added to the overall experience. I'd rate the facilities an 8 since the pools were really the highlight.

5.0/10

My experience at the hotel was quite mixed. While the breakfast buffet had plenty of options, the room I received was not up to par, being dirty and lacking basic amenities. The service was frustrating due to events taking precedence over guest needs, and the overall atmosphere was marred by excessive noise from private functions. Despite these drawbacks, some staff did attempt to assist, making it a little better.

Rooms

5.0

The room was not prepared properly for check-in and was not clean. I expected better cleanliness and amenities, which was disappointing.

Service

5.0

The service was generally lacking due to staff being occupied with private events. It took a long time to receive attention, especially in the restaurant.

Location

5.0

While the location seemed convenient, the fact that the lawn and pool were restricted for private parties made it less enjoyable for hotel guests.

Dining

5.0

The breakfast buffet had good variety, but the restaurants offered poor quality food, which did not justify the high prices.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities were okay, but the noise and restrictions on guest access to the lawn and pool made it a less-than-ideal experience.

I had an unforgettable stay at Uday Samundra. The property is splendidly large with stunning views of the Arabian Sea, and the three pools are inviting. The food is exceptional, with a great variety offered during meals. However, I believe some areas, such as the pricing on the beach loungers and the room condition, could improve. Overall, a fantastic place for a family vacation or a wedding celebration.

Rooms

8.0

The rooms are spacious and beautifully maintained, but I felt some of the cheaper rooms may not have the best conditions.

My stay was quite the mixed bag. The property had its highlights, especially the friendly staff and the spacious room with a lovely view of the sea. However, the condition of the hotel made it hard to overlook its flaws, especially regarding cleanliness and the quality of the dining options. Given the price, it may not be the best value for money, as there are definitely better accommodations nearby.

Rooms

8.0

The room I had was spacious, clean, and offered a beautiful view of the sea. The long bed was comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a long day.

Service

9.0

The staff was incredibly courteous and helpful throughout my stay, which definitely added a positive note to the experience.

Location

7.0

The hotel's location was ideal, right by the beach, which made it easy to explore nearby shops and restaurants. However, the beach itself was not the best.

Dining

5.0

While the breakfast buffet was decent, I found the dining experience overall to be quite basic and lacking variety, especially for international tastes.

Facilities

6.0

The hotel had several pools and amenities. However, one of the pools was closed for construction work, which was a bit disappointing.
