This is a very well run hotel with exceptional service by a kind and generous staff without exception. They are a very well organised team. The pool was relaxing and food very nice. My only ‘area for improvement’ is the breakfast menu. We ate predominantly superb Indian food during our stay, however preferred an English type breakfast of which there were some small aspects but generally a very basic menu. Perhaps tomatoes, mushrooms, boiled eggs would have offers something more. There were omelettes which were a little bland for my taste. Just a small point which doesn’t affect our overall experience at this nicely run, high service establishment.

On check in we noticed renovation works being carried out next to our room. We accepted works needed to be completed but the 2nd day into our holiday varnishing works in the next room were being done which left a very strong lingering smell in our room which was unbearable. After talking with the Reception staff they offered an alternative room which we took. Room very spacious and clean with a great view of the coast line, Nice breakfast and Hotel facilities good. All staff very friendly and welcoming.

The staff was friendly and very helpful. They considered our request for rooms near to each other and upgraded one of our booked rooms to a better one so that we could stay closer to our family. Shout out to the exceptional customer service. The drop to the beach and room services were good. The rooms were spacious. Location was good. Swimming pool was available.

Gokulam resort is a gem hidden among the beauty of Kovalam beaches and coves. But even more invaluable is the warm, welcoming and friendly staff. Service was always quick and prompt with a smile. Rajesh is an excellent host. He's the main man there. Ask for him for anything and he'll make it happen if possible. Restaurant food was excellent as well. I even made requests for certain dishes that was made available by the chef the next morning for breakfast. Our room had a spectacular ocean view. Coconut palm trees lining the Arabian Sea coast with dozens of fishermen boats on the sea hunting for their daily catch was simply surreal. The monsoon waves beating on the massive rocks made a beautiful relaxing sound that was blissful and divine. If I ever come back to Kerala, India I will be staying longer in Kovalam and definitely booking a longer stay at the Grand Turtle.

The location of the property is good.The Beach is at walking distance.The hotel provides vehicle to drop at beach but not pick up due to local taxi union.The rooms at 3rd floor has aircon problemsbut were sorted out.Roof top restaurant was under repair.Restaurant staff at pool side(thts the major one) used for Bf & dining were very good and hard working to complete everyone's order.Especially Mr.Robin& Mr.Jibin team.Ms.Lasitha at the reception goes out of her way to make your stay comfortable.Overall, we were happy & will like to visit the property again.

Right from checking in to checking out the experience was great. Received by Aishwarya at the reception to the Manager Rajesh went out of the way to make our stay comfortable. The wait staff at the restaurant were very courteous and make our dining experience a memorable one. The Ayurvedic massage was simply great and relaxing and kudos to the staff and the Dr there .
