Jasmine Palace is a three star hotel on Temple Road at Kovalam Eve Beach, a short walk from the coast that made Kerala a holiday destination. It has an outdoor pool, a spa, a restaurant and a garden, and a guest score of 4.2 from 2260 reviews. The setting decides it: this is for you if you want the sea on foot and the district's capital within easy reach.
What Jasmine Palace lists
Jasmine Palace is a three star property on Temple Road at Kovalam Eve Beach. The facilities cover the working parts of a beach stay: a 24 hour front desk, breakfast, laundry, free WiFi and free parking. For daylight hours off the sand there is an outdoor pool, a garden and a library, and for meals there is a restaurant on site.
The spa gives the place a slower register than its star rating suggests, and the combination of pool and garden means the hotel works even when the sea is not in the mood. The guest score is 4.2 out of 5 from 2260 reviews, which is a settled figure rather than a thin one. A library, a garden and a pool at a three star property in Kovalam is the shape of the offer.
Where it sits
The address is Temple Road, Kovalam Eve Beach, in Thiruvananthapuram district, South Kerala. Kovalam is on the coast, by the sea, at 0 to 20 m. The hotel is 450 m from Kovalam, about 5 minutes on foot, so the beach is the default outing rather than a trip.
The nearest town is Neyyattinkara, 9.5 km from the centre of Neyyattinkara, and the setting is outside Neyyattinkara, in the wider Thiruvananthapuram district. Kovalam is three coves under a headland and a lighthouse, fifteen kilometres from the state capital and its airport, and it works as an arrival or a decompression stop rather than a two week base.
Who it suits
It suits you if you want a beach holiday with a pool and a spa behind it, breakfast and parking sorted, and the state capital within reach for a day. It also suits a first or last night in Kerala, given how close Kovalam is to the airport. It does not suit you if you want a small guesthouse feel or a location deep in the backwaters.
Planning a stay
Come between November and March, the season given for Kovalam. The sea is not swimmable in the southwest monsoon and the flags mean it, so outside that window the pool and the garden carry the stay. The 24 hour front desk and laundry are useful if you are arriving late or leaving early.
What the property lists
Where it is

Questions people ask
How far is Jasmine Palace from Kovalam beach?

What facilities does Jasmine Palace have?
The property lists a 24 hour front desk, breakfast, laundry, free WiFi, free parking, a garden, a library, an outdoor pool, a restaurant and a spa. That is a fuller set than the three star rating usually carries, and the pool, garden and library are the ones that shape a day off the beach.
What is the guest score for Jasmine Palace?
The guest score is 4.2 out of 5 from 2260 reviews. That is a large number of reviews, so the figure reflects a settled pattern rather than a handful of stays, and it sits comfortably against the three star rating.
When is the best time to stay at Kovalam?
November to March is the season. The sea is not swimmable in the southwest monsoon and the flags mean it, so if you are travelling outside that window plan on the pool, the garden and the library rather than the water.
