    great ocean views
    delicious food
    friendly staff
    noisy air conditioning
    unclean bathroom

    had an amazing stay at soma palmshore! the cottage with sea view was just perfect with great ocean views. the staff were super nice and the food in the restaurant was sooooo delicious! really enjoyed the complimentary lunch & dinner they gave us because of the room issues. private beach was cool, even tho it was closed, we found a way to get there and it was clean and beautiful.

    the air conditioning in our room was pretty noisy, and the bathroom could've been cleaner. overall, some parts seemed outdated.

    average food
    basic condition

    The spacious room offered a lovely view of the garden and the ocean. The attentive staff made our stay enjoyable, with particular thanks to Mr Baiju, who ensured we had everything we needed, including arranging a packed breakfast for us on an early checkout.

    The restaurant food was just average and the overall condition of the hotel seemed in need of some updates. The room was also basic, and the air conditioning unit had some issues that affected our comfort during the stay.

    disappointing wi-fi
    poor connectivity

    The hotel’s location is truly spectacular, offering both a private and public beach, which made for a pleasant visit. The breakfast buffet was delightfully varied, but the Wi-Fi connectivity was disappointing in my room. I appreciated the serene atmosphere and friendly staff.

    sea view cottage
    varied breakfast
    vibrant garden
    bathroom facilities

    Staying in a cottage with a sea view was unforgettable! The breakfast variety was great, especially the fresh fruits and made-to-order dosa. We loved being steps away from a beautiful beach, which was perfect for our child to play. The garden's vibrant flowers added a charming touch.

    My kids wished for better bathroom facilities.

    Perfect spot for beach lovers!

    This place is in a fab location, right by the beach! The cottage we stayed in had a killer sea view. Staff were super friendly, and the in-room breakfast was a nice touch. Only snag was the noisy AC, but we just turned it down and enjoyed the sound of waves.

    great stay but some room for improvement

    The cottage with a sea view was delightful, providing an awe-inspiring backdrop for our stay. The staff were genuinely attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our visit. The garden was an absolute treat, vibrant with flowers and lively birds, making each morning a joy to wake up to.

    The air conditioning unit was quite noisy at times, which affected the overall comfort.
