The stay was very good, it was big enough for 2 people with all the facilities, the location is just 20m away from the cliff view, the varkala beach is just 5mins away. The rooms were very clean and the caretaker Akhil was very helpful , he arranged a rental scooter and dropped us to the bus stop on the day of check-out. The view for the sea from the avanthi restaurant is just beautiful.

I stayed in Varkala for 3 nights. This was mainly due to train timings. 2 nights would’ve been enough. I did a yoga class and auryvedic massage on the last day this would have been better in the second day.
What I did find slightly confusing was the references to North & South Cliff whereas I think South Cliff was an extension of the cliff walk - starting with North cliff.
Plenty of choice for food although a particular favourite was Sun Francisco - the Veg Tali was delicious and good value for money.

Varkala beach is busy very busy on weekends with lots of Indian tourists. The cliff side walk has lots of restaurants and shops. We found the beach a bit rough with the waves but beyond the waves it was calm . The stairs to the beach can be challenging if you have knee issues . It’s has a good atmosphere but we prefer less touristy places hence staying at Odayam each area .

Touristic place.
Touristic place. So lots of restaurants with a large variety of meals, bars, shops, ressorts, loud music, massage.
Best restaurant is Clafouti for me.
Nice beaches, big temple.
This is a tourist destination. India' s soul not there. Crowdy, noisy, pushy salesmen, beggers, stray dogs.
Pretty dirty environment cause of littering.
2 to 3 days stay is enough.

AS OF ME, IT'S NOT SUITABLE FOR THE FAMILY TRAVELLERS, ITS UNSAFE TO ALLOW THE CHILDRENS TO PLAY IN THE SEA SOUR IT HAS DEEPER EVEN IN THE SEA SOUR, BEACH NEAR AREA HAS VERY NARROW ROADS & COJUSTED. I FELT THE CHERAI BEACH IS FAR BETTER THAN THE VARKALA.

Beautiful views from the cliffs, plenty of beaches, option to learn surfing (!), good food, and the most gorgeous mangrove/backwaters (30 mins away).... that's Varakala in nutshell. Lovely cliffside walks with breaks for some ice cream at Scoopy or a whole Israeli breakfast(yummmm) at Buddha Bar. We loved ABBA for all other hunger pangs. Having a rented scooter to go around the places away from the cliffs helps, but there were plenty of Autos as well.

Its took travel time is too far, Kerala roads are not good.
Its took travel time is too far, Kerala roads are not good. Many people not follow traffic rules. Really upset to road travel to Kerala. Many sign boards are shown only in Malayalam Language, we struggled with read.
Except that places are really good and peoples also very friendly.
First off, the staff were all awesome here: front of house and back. Everyone is so friendly & accommodating.
Love the cafe area outside to chill, eat, read, party, whatever…lots of common areas here. There’s a huge backyard with room to roam/post up. The beds are standard but comfy. Facilities are cleaned daily so everything’s tip top.
This place is only 5min walk to the beach. Lots of touristy shops/restaurants on the cliffs there, so you have shopping/food, but ask the staff where to eat. They know the good spots.
The location of this hotel is absolutely amazing. It is in the middle of the nature facing a rice field. It is very quiet. At night and in the morning, you can hear the birds and frogs singing. The rooms are very big and clean. The Indian breakfast is very generous. A nice beach is just a few meters away from the hotel. You can easily walk to Varkala and Edava beach. The walk is very pleasant and beautiful. I highly recommend you to stay in this hotel if you're looking for a quiet place far from Varkala's bustle.
Food is very good especially veg. Children would love to eat Dal kichdi which is complementary too. Access to resort from Varkala sivagiri station was convenient. If people wanted to see the north cliff especially shopping and dining, we can take the road uphill by walk or auto. If u want to access the beach down, best route would be taking a walk close to Janardanaswamy temple. Kaveri elephant park is worth watching.
The staff is so good and courteous. They have arranged for the rental bike and local auto to drop us to railway station.
Access to private beach and cliff is the best part of this place.
Food served had many options to choose from.
Don't forget to meet Aslam who's managing this property. Aadith and Karthik made our stay and meals hassle free
There is a swing in the open area and a lot of desks to relax.
Honestly the best i could've got for the price paid.
The property is fairly new and clean unlike other hostels, the location is 2 mins walk from Odayam beach (which again is very clean and serene), the manager and the owner are warm and overall the vibe of cliff and coral is amazing. You should definitely go with this hostel if you plan to come to varkala and ditch the crowded north cliff area.
great central location within easy reach of the cliff and beach. staff were friendly and helpful. they have a kitchen where you can store food etc and you can also buy hot/cold drinks, breakfasts, other meals and also provide drinking water free of charge so no need to keep buying plastic bottles. I had a private room which was spacious and comfortable. there is also a communal terrace.
This is the best place to stay in Varkala. It is very close to the cliff, nevertheless very quiet and cosy and the rooms are spaciious and very clean with a very nice balkony. The people are very friendly, helping their guests with everything and making them feel at home. I liked this place so much that I came back here and I can highly recommend this place to everyone.
Beautifully thought out rooms each with their own balcony, perfect for breakfasting, reading, contemplating away from the bustle of Indian streets. A short walk from Varkala beach - 10 mins form the main cliff-top tourist restaurants and souvenir shops. Very friendly staff and owner - helpful researching and sorting our onward connections. Would definitely recommend.
Home away from home, From being served the yummiest of home cooked keralan food to Every little detail of ours taken care off. Homestay was well located from the cliff and super duper clean. Rekha jee even fulfilled our request when we said we want to learn how to make appam & stew. Definately a 10/10 if you wish to stay in varkala. Will be back for sure ❤️
Pool is nice, all hotel is recently renovated and clean, adjacent to North Cliff beach although no sea view like some other nearby places . There is a cool cafe overlooking. About 20 mins walk to South Cliff with selection of excellent restaurants. You can walk 10 mins and get a bus for 10 rupees to town centre and railway station.
Good, decent room...
close by to the north cliff region in fact it is walkable distance.
Special mention to yasir(property owner) helped us in hiring the two wheeler and guiding us to the right visiting places as this was our first time to Varkala.....
Breakfast was not given so cannot comment on that and to understand the location varkala beach has a cliff and all restaurants and stays are on the cliff and it was 100m away from the end point of cliff , so for location it was good for 3 people stay
It was a very cosy and comfortable stay! Very close to the north cliff and black beach, we didn't even have to rent bikes to get around. Absolutely worth the price!
The location is great as one can easily roam around the North cliff and there are many cafes and restaurants around. The beaches are close by. The staff is helpful.
