She stayed in Leela Kovalam Beach Resort and this place is huge. Perfect to spend your day lazing around doing nothing. Upon touching down in Trivandrum, the hot and humid air oppresses the lung so much.
The chalet-style accomodation built out of wood is very cooling though. A private beach is available for the usage of the hotel's patrons. However, the current is quite strong, hence she did not go for a swim. Instead, she spent the day lazing around and swmming in the private pool, before dozing off in a hammock. The weather made her system so sluggish she just didn't feel like doing much physical activity.

Apart from the chalet, one can also opt to stay in these multi storeys beach fronting unitsA road leading to small villages runs through the resort with handicrafts and souvenir shops found along the way. Operators of catamaran loitered around to fish for business and haggling for a good price is required.

View from outside The Princess' roomThe beach is nothing to shout about (a bit dirty at certain place) but the slow-pace, idyllic life is a good escape from the maddening city. In essence, haiyo, no need to come until so far to experience rustic, village-by-the-beach charm lar, go to Terengganu or Kelantan instead. Cheaper and much more beautiful.
