Beach Florra Inn is a three star hotel on Light House Beach Road in Kovalam, 600 m from Kovalam, about 5 minutes on foot, and 9.4 km from the centre of Neyyattinkara. It has a bar, a restaurant, a garden, a terrace, air conditioning and a 24 hour front desk. The location by the sea decides most of it, and the same location rules out anyone wanting a quiet inland stay.
The hotel and its facilities
Beach Florra Inn is a three star hotel with a guest score of 4 out of 5 from 872 reviews. The listed facilities run to a 24 hour front desk, express check in, luggage storage and car hire. Rooms have air conditioning and are non smoking, and some open onto a balcony. A restaurant serves breakfast, room service is available, and special diet menus can be arranged.

Where the hotel sits
The hotel stands outside Neyyattinkara, in the wider Thiruvananthapuram district, in South Kerala. Neyyattinkara is a town in Thiruvananthapuram district, and the hotel is 9.4 km from the centre of Neyyattinkara. It is on the coast, by the sea, at Kovalam, 600 m from Kovalam, about 5 minutes on foot.
Kovalam is three coves under a headland and a lighthouse, fifteen kilometres from the state capital and its airport. The beach that started Kerala tourism, and still the easiest sea in the state to reach from a plane. The coves are separate beaches with separate characters, not one strip. Thiruvananthapuram, its museums and Padmanabhaswamy temple, is a half-hour away.
Who it suits and who it does not
Beach Florra Inn suits travellers who want the sea on foot and a base for arriving or decompressing, not a two week stay. It suits anyone who values a restaurant, a bar, air conditioning and a 24 hour front desk on site. It does not suit travellers who want an inland setting or a quiet town, because the address is coastal and the nearest town is 9.4 km away.
When to plan a stay
The season runs November to March. The sea is not swimmable in the southwest monsoon and the flags mean it. Outside that window the beach is a place to look at rather than enter, so plan a stay in the season if swimming matters, and treat the rest of the year as a base for the district.
What the property lists
