Close to the beach..yes

A slightly mixed bag. The staff is friendly, especially the front desk & the local tour organizers. Food is a little tasteless, but healthy. Location is great. Resort is clean. Most staff speak only Malayalam. Parking is off site. Very inconvenient. Intercom works in parts. the restaurant timings are very restricted. Imagine no dinner after 10 evening. Wow.. And we were on a holiday..

Be careful with choosing room view - nice place

One big disappointment - I booked a beach cottage with sea facing view and paid a premium for it but we got a room which didnt have any sea view and it was some distance from Sea. In fact some of the cheaper room had better sea view. Overall property is good and service is nice

Angolo di pace nell'India del sud

Abbiamo soggiornato in periodo di bassa stagione ad un prezzo eccezionale nel cottage sulla spiaggia. Niente tv nè wifi solo il rumore delle onde e al mattino qualche tacchino che girava libero all'ombra delle palme. Il servizio impeccabile, ristorante economico ma di alta qualità! Se volete wifi 24/24 meglio soggiornare nelle abitazioni sopra e non sulla spiaggia ma il mio consiglio personale è di spegnere tutto per qualche giorno e lasciarvi cullare totalmente da questo angolo di natura.

Fantastisk!

Fantastisk! Som å komme hjem! Så avslappende og hyggelig hadde vi ikke ant at vi kunne få det. Vennligheten og hjelpsomheten er helt i en klasse for seg! Og maten.... Herremin, så nydelig! Konseptet er økologisk, så her er det for eksempel ikke avkjølt vann, og aircondition bare på enkelte rom. Men man trenger ikke hverken det ene eller det andre lærte vi oss veldig fort. Vi kommer aldri mer til å spise avkjølt fruktsalat, når romtemperert smaker som sol i hver munnfull. Våre tre dager ble til to uker, og kanskje enda lenger. Anbefales på det sterkeste!

Amazing Sea View n Roaring Waves

The hotel has two distinctly in two locations- one, on high grounds, and the other, nearer to sea. We stayed at the sea. Location is amazing with a wonderful sea view. Round the clock roaring waves makes it awesome. Coconut trees and a variety of other plants render an excellent garden as well. A well maintained lawn and a variety of orchids compel you to lie on hammocks for ever. Rooms are ethnic, spacious and neat. Staff quite courteous and helpful. Food is homely, makes you eat more and more. Overall, it is just good to be away from the routine urban crowds to be in this serene place.

Splendid destination to rejuvenate

Location was awesome...just 30mins frm trivendrum airport, 5 mins frm kovalam and 90kms frm kanyakumari. resort is very close to the beach. We booked Old House rooms which were small yet comfortable. Staff is very cordial and friendly. Food is good but expensive. They can make arrangements for your travel massage and anything you need. If you are going to relax for a few days, Thapovan is the best palce to rejuvenate.

It was a perfect retreat for me.

It was a perfect retreat for me. The treatments and yoga were just what I needed to relax after some stressful weeks at work, the food was excellent and the staff very friendly. They really looked after me. I would happily recommend the resort, the beach, the location and would come back another time. The lack of tv and internet are actually a blessing in disguise. After this, I went to Kovalam Beach which is the complete opposite. So glad I stayed at Thapovan.

A beautiful, calm Ayurvedic retreat

Thapovan was one of the most beautiful places I've stayed at in Kerala. We had booked an Eagle's Nest room with the beach view and it was a great stay. The hotel staff is very co-operative and warm. They did their best to make sure our stay was comfortable. Do try the Ayurvedic massages here. The masseuse are very skilful and having tried massages all over the world, I'd say the one at Thapovan was the best. Very relaxing. The private beach, the food, the ambience - Thapovan has all the elements for a great holiday. Thank you.

Relaxation!

Lovely hotel & resort, split into 2 sites - the cheaper rooms are on a separate site, a 2 min walk downhill (5 mins uphill!!) from the more expensive beachside cottages on the 2nd site. Top site has better views, and a nicer restaurant. Nice private beach with friendly lifeguard, although sea was rough so no swimming. Had an ayuverdic massage which was a real experience... Yoga session in the morning was a fantastic start to the day. All in all, just what we needed :)

schöne Anlage, wunderbares Terassenrestaurant

Das Hotel ist besonders für Arjuvedabegeisterte empfehlenswert, es hat einen entsprechenden "Kurbereich" und ist darauf spezialisiert . Wir waren eher zum generellen Entspannen da und hatten ein einfaches Zimmer ohne Klimaanlage gebucht , das im Verhältnis zur sonst gepflegten und sehr ansprechenden Anlage etwas abfiel. Ein Pool wäre gut gewesen, insbesondere weil das Schwimmen im Meer häufig zu gefährlich war. Zum recht netten Kovalam Strand gelangt man ab per Scooter für wenig Geld in ca 15 min. Das Essen im hübschen Terassenrestaurant war gut, der Service aber sehr schleppend. Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist nicht so gut, insbesondere da im Zimmerpreis kein Frühstück enthalten war. Die Zweiteilung des Hotels in Strandnähe und Berglaget ist suboptimal, aber zumutbar.

pour une cure ayurvédique ...

Impression très mitigée car je pensais qu'il s'agissait d'un hôtel sur la plage ! en fait pas vraiment car la plage est impraticable à cause des courants. On ne peut se baigner que sous la surveillance d'un vigile. Quelques transats sont disponibles mais vraiment d'une époque très lointaine...Pas de clim, pas de bouilloire, pas de télé , pas de moustiquaires aux fenêtres...donc on dort enfermés et ce n'est pas agréable. Pas de piscine non plus dans les espaces communs...Cela ne peut donc pas être un 3 étoiles car il n'a aucun des critères minimum...même si les jardins sont très beaux et bien entretenus ...!

Thankyou-Thapovan

We had booked Old House as the Beach house was not available while booking online. We reached early and our room was up for clean. So I enquire if the beach side Room was available or not and it was available. We were shown both the rooms by Srikanth and we preffered to stay at Beach Side room. Srikanth upgraded us to Beach Cottages without any additional cost. The ambience is very good. The beach is very nearby and clean and is lifeguard is always present on th beach. Last day , knowing that we were on our honeymoon they had decorated our bed with flowers and fruit basket. For sight seeing we had asked Srikanth to make arrangement for an bike which he promptly did.

Relax & Rejuvenate at Thapovan Heritage Home

This is my first trip to Kerala and it turned out to be one of the best to start. The very first look was mesmerizing and prompted us to rethink on extending our stay. We had initially planned to stay for open night, the staff and Thapovan just drew us into extending our stay here. It is one of the best resorts that I have been in the recent past. Very cosy and comfortable place to just relax. The best part was that there was no TV, which ensured that we spent the maximum time enjoying the nature. It has a private beach which is a rarity in these days and indeed a very clean beach. The food and the staff were the icing on the cake and not to forget the Ayurveda Massage Center which over various services which is one of the best in class. The stay here turned out to be one of our best and most relaxing, hoping to go there soon.....Last but not the least, this place is affordable and thanks to Expedia Deals......
