Our stay at Kovalam, at Little Paradise, was truly peaceful. As we decided to give hotel stays a miss, Mr. Joseph's hospitality and the location close to Kovalam beach was really ideal for a short family break. We stayed for 2 nights and Mr. Joseph made us feel at home with his conversations and sightseeing advice, as if we were visiting a family friend. Besides that, it's walking distance (<1Km) to the beach, decent eat out places around (like taste of Kerala) and easy access to transport- highly recommend the place. Next time you are around, skip the hotels- opt for more natural and human hospitality than the paid smiles!
