Uday Samudra Leisure Beach Hotel & Spa

We stayed for two nights at Uday Samudra Leisure Beach Hotel and overall, it was a pleasant and comfortable experience. The hotel is spacious, welcoming, and offers a lovely ambiance—especially in the evenings with live piano music in the lobby. --- Check-in and Staff: The check-in process was smooth and efficient. A special mention to Surya Santhosh at the reception who greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel welcome. The gentleman who assisted with our luggage and guided us to the room (apologies, we missed his name) was extremely courteous and helpful. --- Rooms and Facilities: Our room was clean, cozy, and featured a well-stocked mini-bar with snacks and drinks. The bed was comfortable, and we had a lovely view of the courtyard. There’s a dual-door setup—one for the hallway and another providing direct access to the pool and courtyard restaurant, which we found very convenient. We did notice a small leak from the toilet flush switch, but it was minor. The hotel provides mosquito repellent in the room, which helped, though a few still managed to sneak in. Despite this, the bed and linens were very comfortable and kept us well rested. --- Dining: The dining experience, especially breakfast in the courtyard, was delightful. There was a live kitchen serving fresh dosa and appam, and a good mix of South Indian and Western options like muesli and pasta. The staff during breakfast were friendly and attentive, even though we couldn’t catch their names. Dinner was okay but didn’t quite carry the authentic Kerala flavor we had hoped for. --- Pools and Recreation: We enjoyed the pools—there are separate ones for kids and adults, and the water was comfortably warm. However, some maintenance is needed, especially in the kids’ area where there were broken tiles and exposed electrical cables that should be sealed. The men’s changing room also needs attention, particularly the locker area where some keys were missing.

Great location. Enjoyed the beach and the waves from the Arabian Sea although if you are a light sleeper don’t get your room close to the sea as the waves were pretty loud all night. Breakfast buffet was very good.

Spacious hotel lobby, huge and beautiful room. Fantastic breakfast. Vast evening dinner buffet. Exit to the beach at the back of the hotel - with some nice local restaurant/bar there and local ayurvedic center, we got there very nice massages for 2000 rupees. Don't use the beach straight there - instead walk 10 minutes left to reach Grove beach, it is much nicer. The hotel is also used for conferences and weddings - most of the hotel guests were there for these reasons, not much foreigners. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but I wouldn't say that something was extremely special here, so next time we would probably choose another resort.

Loved the room and breakfast was brilliant. Swimming pool was good.

The room was good. Breakfast was well spread. The lunch buffet was good. The service of the team was excellent. They accommodated all our requests
