Kovalam has plenty of hotels, beach resorts and ayurveda resorts. Most of the Kovalam Hotels and Resorts are usually properties of multinationals, or big names in tourism industry. These are generally 5 star, or 4 star resorts equipped with all modern facilities. The resorts near beaches are more in demand and therefore prices get higher as you move closer to the beach. If you are willing to stay a few meters away from the beach, you may get better rooms for the same price.
