Thats all i can say. Have to come here if I am visiting kovalam once more in my life. In fact I never thought of taking a room in Kovalam. Just because my flight got delayed, I thought of taking one. I think its a relatively new resort on the beach. Far from noise, except for the noise from a... More

We highly recommend this hotel when you visit Kovalam. Each room has its privet balcony overlooking the mosque picturesquely situated on the small peninsula and crashing waves on the small, isolated beach (where you can swim and relax away from crowds on Haveli and Lighthouse beaches). Particularly, the rooms on the top floor have amazing view! The staff is very... More

Choose the top floor rooms (which are more expensive but worth it) we had room 15. Beautiful views of the sea, beach and the mosque. Spotless room, with air con, walk-in... More

We enjoyed two wonderful days staying at Vijay Varmas in December 2011! Sara was a lovely host and helped with all of our needs. The view from the top floor rooms of the beaches nearby was exceptional. We enjoyed many hours lazing on the balcony, looking out to sea. We would recommend this hotel highly to travellers.

I originally intended to stay at this hotel for three or four days, which turned into two weeks! I was travelling with my daughter and my toddler, so we were really please to find this hotel. We had a ground floor room, next to reception, which was lovely and clean. It was cleaned every day, and the bedding and towels... More

After having a disaster trying to find a room at the last minute I stumbled past Varma cottages, asked if they had room, and spent the next 2 nights thanking my lucky stars. Kovalam has clearly seen better days (probably 20 or so years ago) and this place was a life saver. If you insist on going to kovalam stay... More

I stayed at this hotel with some friends. The hotel and rooms were very clean and comfortable. My room on the top floor had an amazing see view that could be enjoyed from a balcony overlooking a nice small quite beach. The hotel is on Light house road, a 6 minute walk up the hill from light house beach.
