The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Really good Buffet Experience

I had an amazing experience with the dining options at Uday Samudra. The breakfast and dinner buffets offered an impressive variety of dishes, including a perfect mix of North Indian, South Indian, and continental cuisines. I particularly enjoyed the authentic Kerala flavors available during lunch. The quality and availability of food were consistently fantastic, and every meal felt like a treat.

Relaxing Spa Day

I treated myself to a deep tissue massage at the hotel's Ocean Spa, and it was one of the best I've ever experienced. The treatment rooms were lovely and tranquil, allowing me to fully unwind. Additionally, the Ayurvedic spa on site is a fantastic option for anyone looking for soothing treatments. I left feeling rejuvenated and relaxed, exactly what I needed!

Comfortable Ocean View Room

I booked an ocean view room and found it quite spacious and comfortable. Although my initial room lacked some daylight, upon requesting a change, I was moved to another room with better natural light and a lovely view of the ocean. It was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the ocean breeze from the balcony.

The hotel offers a beachfront experience that is great for relaxation, but there are some significant downsides that made my stay less enjoyable.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The good points were the enjoyable swimming pools, delicious food, and friendly staff that made our stay pleasant. However, I encountered issues with room cleanliness and maintenance, as well as accessibility to the beach which was less than ideal. Overall, while there were enjoyable aspects, there were several areas that need improvement.

Uday Samudra provides a mix of experiences. On one hand, it has a great location near Kovalam Beach and some nice amenities like multiple pools and an Ayurveda center. On the other hand, the service and dining left much to be desired, with incidents affecting the overall experience. While the facilities are enjoyable, improvements can be made in food quality and staff attentiveness.

The hotel's location is quite convenient, just a short walk from the beach, offering easy access to local attractions. However, the surrounding area felt congested and could use some improvement.
