Hotel
Rockholm crowns a rock that reaches out to the sea
over a lovely cove, where the towering lighthouse
stands sentinel surveying all with its sweeping
beams in the night. It is owned and managed by
a traditional Anglo Indian family which can trace
its roots back to several generations. Today
Rockholm bears a delightful ambience of both the
East and West.
Hotel Rockholm is a 15 kilometer drive from
Trivandrum, the capital of Kerala. Trivandrum is
well connected with the rest of the world with its
International Airport, major rail links and
highways. Hotel Rockholm crowns a rock that
reaches out to the sea over a lovely cove, where the
towering lighthouse stands sentinel surveying all
with its sweeping beams in the night.
Rockholm is also an ideal base camp for a long
holiday. One can take short breaks from the beach
and explore the backwaters, visit the wildlife
sanctuaries or go trekking in the hill stations.
There are also other places of architectural,
historical and cultural importance which are
accessible from Rockholm, Kovalam.
A longtime favourite of the international tourist,
Rockholm can proudly claim that it spends little
money on advertising. It usually takes a few hours
for a routine guest to turn into a life long patron
and the few good words they speak back home bring
new seekers of leisure built on a rock. |

The
blend of comfort, tranquility and sheer good
taste which one comes across at Rockholm has
been perfected with the deep and rare
knowledge of two great cultures. At Rockholm,
one can say that the twain have finally met.
The personnel at the hotel have been around
for a long time and show a friendliness and
caring that is found only in old family
retainers.
During the day, the sun kissed beaches invite
you to either take a long stroll or just be
plain lazy and bask in the sun under shady
palm trees or beach umbrellas. The inviting
waters of the blue sea beckon you to take a
swim and later dry off in the sun, gifting
yourself a glorious tan with little or no
effort.
With the bobbing lights of the fishing boats
in the distance and the western sky still
showing crimson where the sun went down, the
open air seafront restaurant sets the ideal
stage to feel the night and calm descend upon
earth. Nothing breaks the spell except a rare
clink of crystal or a peal of laughter. The
haunting music of the sea below, punctuated by
the vast sweeps of beams from the lighthouse
provides the backdrop for the evening.
Needless to say, it is usually the memory of
an evening at the open air restaurant that
many carry back home. |
