Mermaid Resorts & Banquets offers a lovely location with serene gardens and well-maintained facilities, though the rooms could use improvements. The staff is welcoming and helpful, yet some service aspects were inconsistent. Overall, it's a solid choice for a relaxing getaway close to the beach.

Rooms

The chamber room I stayed in felt a bit cramped and small, but it was clean. There were issues with the bathroom fittings and the furniture quality, making it hard to justify the price.

I had a mixed experience at Mermaid Resorts & Banquets. The hotel itself is beautiful and well-maintained, with a lovely garden and clean swimming pool. However, the service left much to be desired, with slow response times and some issues with room amenities. Overall, it's a pleasant place but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

During my stay at Mermaid Resorts & Banquets, I found the hotel itself to be beautiful and serene, offering a peaceful escape. However, the overall experience was marred by several service issues and underwhelming accommodations. While the staff was friendly, there were significant gaps in management and guest treatment that detracted from my enjoyment. I would rate it overall as a solid place to stay but with room for improvement. 🌿🌊

Rooms

The room was neat and comfortable, but considering the price of over Rs 4000, it lacked certain amenities like a fridge and a decent closet. The decor felt dated, and bathroom fittings were of low quality.
Service

The service was inconsistent; while some staff were friendly and helpful, many lacked training, leading to confusion over simple requests. For instance, I was sent to retrieve a breakfast coupon, which felt unnecessary.
Location
7.0
The location is quite nice, just a short distance away from Kovalam Beach, and the expansive garden gives a lovely outdoor feel. However, it felt a bit off-center from main attractions.
Dining
5.0
The dining experience was hit or miss. The food tasted good, but service times were long, which was frustrating, especially when it took over 30 minutes to get a simple tea in my room.
Facilities
5.0
The facilities included a pool and an Ayurvedic spa, which I was disappointed with as it didn't offer the massages that were advertised. The pool, although well designed, was not regularly cleaned, leaving debris.
