Star Inn Plus is a two star property on Hill And Sea View Resort Road, on the coast by the sea, 100 m from Kovalam, about 5 minutes on foot. It lists free WiFi, free parking, laundry, shuttle service and wheelchair access, and holds 4.2 out of 5 from 130 reviews. The walk to the beach is what decides whether it suits you.
What the property lists
Star Inn Plus is a two star property. Its guest score is 4.2 out of 5 from 130 reviews. The facilities it lists cover the practical side of a beach stay. Free WiFi keeps a phone or laptop useful. Free parking matters if you arrive with a vehicle. Laundry helps on a longer trip or after sea air and damp towels. A shuttle service is listed for getting around without driving yourself.
Wheelchair accessible is also listed, which is worth confirming directly with the property before booking if step-free movement is essential. There is no guest score beyond the 4.2 figure on file. The list is short and specific, so read it against what you actually need rather than assuming more.
Where it sits
The address is Hill And Sea View Resort Road, outside Neyyattinkara, in the wider Thiruvananthapuram district, in South Kerala. Neyyattinkara is a town in Thiruvananthapuram district, and the property is 9.6 km from the centre of Neyyattinkara. It sits on the coast, by the sea.
Kovalam is the destination. The property is 100 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.
Who it suits
It suits you if you want the sea on foot, a short list of practical facilities and a two star base for a night or two. It does not suit you if you want a resort with grounds and a full service list, or if you need to be in the centre of Neyyattinkara, since the property is 9.6 km from the centre. The 4.2 score from 130 reviews is decent rather than exceptional.
Planning a stay
Come between November and March. The sea is not swimmable in the southwest monsoon and the flags mean it. The property is 100 m from Kovalam, about 5 minutes on foot, so the beach is the main reason to be here. It works as an arrival or a decompression stop rather than a two week base. Thiruvananthapuram, its museums and Padmanabhaswamy temple are a half hour away.

Where it is
About 9.6 km from the centre of neyyattinkara, in Thiruvananthapuram district. That is a ride rather than a walk. The listed address is Hill And Sea View Resort Road.

When is the best time to stay near Kovalam?
November to March. The sea is not swimmable in the southwest monsoon and the flags mean it. Outside those months the coast is wetter and rougher, so plan around the season if swimming is the point of the trip.
Is Star Inn Plus good as a base for Thiruvananthapuram?
Thiruvananthapuram, its museums and Padmanabhaswamy temple are a half hour away, so it can work for a short city and beach combination. It is better as an arrival or decompression stop than as a two week base for the whole district.
