What can I say very good, 1 of the best ever holidays would go back again but now have 6 month old son who was conceived in Kerila after many years of trying.
Anyway would recommend this hotel, try to stay in the 1st class rooms as they are worth the extra a very happy customer.

The hotel and rooms were exceptionally clean and had good facilities. Rooms always made up early in the day and boys came round early evening to fill up the tea/coffee.
The food in the hotel was excellent, lots of choice, and cheap - less than £10 for an evening meal with drinks for two, although cheaper in Kovalam.
The staff were very friendly and nothing was any trouble to them. The pool boy provided us with 2 towels per person every day and he organised drinks and food. The hotel has 2 large pools.
The gardens were beautiful and there was direct access to the beach. However, the beach is a working beach with fishermen, and the sea is not really safe to swim in due to strong currents.
The only down side to this hotel is that it does not have other restaurants nearby - you need to go to Kovalam, which is about 15 minutes drive away and cost £8 for a return journey. Taxis were always readily available. There was a row of about 5 souvenir shops/tailors outside the hotel, and a small village with shops serving the local community a few minutes walk away.
We did a few trips out using taxis rather than organised tours, which worked out very cheap.
Kovalam has lots of places to eat. We were always delighted with the meals we had and things in the shops are very cheap.
Had a wonderful holiday and will be going back next year.
