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

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 :)

very good family vacation at Tapovan
Tapovan was an excellent resort for family vacation. Beach facing rooms, you can walk into the beach from room. Food was good, reasonably priced for a resort of this type. It is about 6 km from Kovalam beach

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......

Everything was excellent - beautiful, peaceful
If you want a beautiful, nature-filled experience, this is an excellent place to stay. Simple elegance is the best way to describe it. There's no air-conditioning, no tv, no alcohol. Just the beauty of nature, clean comfortable rooms and surroundings. Excellent service. Just as all of the previous reviews we read said it would be like.

Great Sea View, but little far from Kovalam
The Resort is located in nellikunnu, which is about 8 Kms from Kovalam. The beach near the resort is beautiful and romantic but was rough, so if u plan to swim it may not be the best place. The resort is focused on Ayurveda and thus cottages are not equipped with TV or Fridge. Overall the experience was great. You get a feeling of being close to the nature and can also enjoy good food at the resort.
