One of the highlights of my stay was the evening live music band. The ambiance created by the music was fantastic, and it added to the overall charm of the resort. I enjoyed listening to the talented musicians while relaxing by the pool.

I had a fantastic stay at Soma Palmshore, one of the best resorts in Kovalam! The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and I enjoyed the beautiful beach view from my balcony. The dining experience was delightful, but I hope for a bit more variety in the breakfast options.
