Stayed here in Nov 2011 in the 2nd week of our holiday after visiting Varkala in the first week. It initially appealed to us because it appeared to be far enough away from Kovalam which I had been warned was very developed - not what I wanted from my holiday. I was so glad I did, Kovalam centre was a... More

Based on good recos on TA, we decided to book at Molly's and glad we were! A cool place, elegantly done up, right from the entrance to the cute little reading area to the pool area to the restaurant and of course the rooms! The whole place seems to be surrounded with positivity which has also rubbed on the staff,... More

Just spent a fab two weeks at Molly's with our friends. Last time we were on holiday in Kovalam we enjoyed an excellent meal in Molly's restaurant. From the restaurant we could see the pretty, eight roomed hotel and pool and said that if we ever returned to Kerala we would definitely stay there. Well, we returned, stayed at Molly's... More

Always a pleasure to stay here. Very friendly owners, a real home from home. Proper food served in generous portions in the restaurant. Helpful staff, clean spacious rooms & overall good value for money. We are regular guests and cannot fault it. A short walk to the beach or you can laze around their swimming pool. Quiet area but close... More

Attentive staff and a very successful restaurant; we were a little puzzled as the reviews for the restaurant don't match the experience we had. food was fabulous and the service like... More
