It is situated just middle point of the light house beach. In front of the beach, they have their sister concern MALABAR Cafe. And just behind that there is Unwind resort. I don't think if they have any option to see the sea from any of the room, at least it was not there from my room#104 and that's actually not required. In night you need a pleasant sleep.
So, in morning, you woke up, have a walk through the beach road, then come and seat in Malabar Cafe... Have your breakfast, then enjoy sea... same for noon lunch & dinner in evening.
Only thing is the food pricing is very high in Kovalam - not only in Malabar, but also, in all hotels - so, please be ware of that.
Also, please carry enough cash with you as most of the hotels including Malabar Cafe does not support card payment. But Unwind does accept the same.
Over all, very good experience and I will again go there.
