Vivanta by Taj Reviews, Kovalam And Poovar

The bed and bedding is not at all like it should be in a 5 star hotel. the food is overpriced. not 5 star quality. drinks are expensive and not well made.

Extra-ordinary hospitality and impeccable services. Ambience - incomparable to any other beach side resorts anywhere in the World I have seen.

Good hotel. Restaurant Prcies are high

Vivanta by Taj offers an ambivalent experience. We had booked the Premium Temptation Suite With Lap Pool for our first wedding anniversary, The location is a huge disappointment since it is located 2 km away from the Kovalam beach. Our reception was pleasant with welcome drinks and smiling staff. The rooms were very spacious. There were two bathrooms, one of them came with a shower cubicle and hot tub. Hi-definition TVs come with DVD players but only malayalam channels are being telecast. Room maintenence is spic and span. However the staff serviced the rooms without prior information when we were outside on a trip. Food is expensive. 30 ml of scotch or vodka is 650 plus taxes. We had breakfast served inside our suite. There is little in terms of entertainment inside the hotel. We were taken by golf cart to the beach which was very rocky and unsafe. If one wants to dip his feet in the sea, he will have to risk his life. The infinity pool looked inviting but we had a nice time in our private lap pool itself. The one thing that stood out was the friendly and genial staff. However there is much to be desired in terms of 5 star quality.

Beautiful hotel, however located quite away from the sea, rooms are good, however make u feel lonely. A bit damp. Hospital staff v good, food is good . Seaside restaurant is beautiful.

Wah Taj! This cliched expression aptly comes to mind while writing a review of this hotel. The experience I must admit has been a completely fabulous one. From the second you enter through the gates of the Taj Vivanta, you sense on one hand, a feeling of brisk efficiency from the staff and on the other hand, a warmth that very few hotels are able to impart instantly. The latter is partly due to the meticulous attention that has been contributed to the interiors of the hotel. The kind of detailing that has been done on the smallest of designs is quite remarkable. The rooms are capable of catering to most of your needs and even your not so bare necessities are in the right place at the right time. The restaurants are a gastronomical delight and you might find yourself shuttling between the various venues out of sheer indecisiveness. All said, the bar of hospitality has certainly been raised in my mind and it would probably be a while before its raised again.

Its Taj party.
