Hotels can get a bit costly as you get closer to the prime areas, but once you're there, you'll have access to everything. The Soma Palmshore has a great location, right overlloking the Lighthouse Beach, 2.4 km from Padmanabhapuram Palace, 12 km from the Attukal Hindu temple and 16 km from Thiruvananthapuram International Airport. The hotel has spacious rooms and cottages with built-in modern bathrooms, satellite TV, balconies with beach views, air-conditioning, free WiFi, lockers etc. Presence of a beauty parlour, Ayurveda Spa, outdoor pool, a beachfront café and an elegant restaurant with a garden terrace make it the perfect place to wind down after a busy day of sightseeing. If you're looking to be pampered to great sea food, the on-site restaurant specialising in the job is your ticket. The vibes are very welcoming.
