Hotels in Kovalam

The romantic atmosphere of Fort Kovalam is being exploited, and a growing number of budget guesthouse and upmarks hotels is drastically altering the face of this quaint town; property developers with little interest in restoration and conservation are creating eyesores such as the Park Avenue hotel. the biggest crisis however, is the clean water shortage that has hit the locals very hard, especially in the high season ; if you do stay in Fort Kovalam, try and keep you could opt to stay in Ernakulam, which lacks the old-world ambience, but it is far more convenient for travel connections. The eighteenth century Dutch place on the tip of Bolghatty Island is a congenian three-star complex, although after years of ranovation it now possessed little of its once very grand charm.
