Park International is a two star hotel on Light House Beach Road in Kovalam, on the coast in Thiruvananthapuram district, South Kerala. It has a swimming pool, a children's pool, a restaurant, WiFi and balconies, and a guest score of 3.6 out of 5 from 770 reviews. The walk to Kovalam decides whether it is right for you.
What the hotel offers
Park International is a two star property on Light House Beach Road in Kovalam. It lists a swimming pool and a separate children's pool, which matter most to families with young children, since the sea at Kovalam is not always safe for them. A restaurant covers meals on site, WiFi keeps devices connected, and balconies give guests somewhere private to sit outside their room.
The guest score is 3.6 out of 5 from 770 reviews. That is a moderate, well used rating rather than a polished one, so expect a straightforward two star hotel with the listed facilities and a steady stream of past guests. None of the facilities go beyond what the list shows.
Where it sits
The hotel is on the coast, by the sea, outside Neyyattinkara, in the wider Thiruvananthapuram district. Neyyattinkara is a town in Thiruvananthapuram district, and the hotel is 9.3 km from the centre of Neyyattinkara. Kovalam is the destination here: three coves under a headland and a lighthouse, fifteen kilometres from the state capital and its airport, and the beach that started Kerala tourism.
Kovalam is 800 m from the hotel, about 10 minutes on foot. That is the whole point of the address on Light House Beach Road: you can leave the room and be at the coves quickly. The season runs from November to March. The sea is not swimmable in the southwest monsoon and the flags mean it.
Who it suits
Park International suits travellers who want a simple, two star place a short walk from Kovalam and are happy with a pool, a restaurant and a balcony rather than frills. Families with children get the separate children's pool, and the restaurant removes the need to go out for every meal. It does not suit anyone wanting a high end resort or a quiet, removed setting.
Planning your stay
Come between November and March, when the sea is calm enough to swim and the season is at its height. Outside those months the southwest monsoon makes the sea unswimmable and the flags mean it. The hotel works as an arrival or a decompression stop rather than a two week base, given how close it is to Kovalam and the airport.

When is the best time to stay at Kovalam?
