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.
Rooms were spacious, spotlessly clean and well air conditioned - bathrooms too. Bed very comfortable and shower brilliant. Nice touches in the room such as water, toiletries and amenities (fridge, safe etc). Pool was great and open slightly beyond sunset, and easy access to Varkala beach and North Cliff via the path (during the day). Breakfast has a lot of options, and the treatments we had in the spa were very relaxing. Staff are pleasant and very helpful and the same day laundry service was very efficient.
Highly recommend!! Beautiful hostel, and great relaxed vibe, kept spotlessly clean and with great facilities including a communal kitchen, rooftop social area with yoga mats, comfy seating, ping pong , outdoor social area. Options for AC or fan dorms. Very close to Varkala beach and cliff markets. Great local options for delicious and budget friendly meals close by or prepared by the hostel staff. Staff go out of their way to help with anything you need - scooty rental , recommendations etc
The positive, and friendly vibe of the place was enhanced because of the owner, his pets and the other friendly guests!
The room, decor and location was as advertised. However, what was not advertised is the friendly and accommodating nature of the host!
If you like pets/animals, this is your place to stay in Varkala. It is also located close to the cliff, beach and many restaurants.
Looking forward to staying here again, the next time I'm in Varkala!
Nevertheless the location of this place is perfect. Right at the beginning of the cliff way and also not to far from the beach.
Eventhough the terrace did not look exactly as on the photos it was nice and has a partial sea view where we have enjoyed the sunset mutliple times.
Also the host was very friendly and helpful and even offered to show us around varkala on a scooter.
The AC in the room worked well.
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.
Beautiful new space. Clean, comfortable and great hospitality. Property is just down a small laneway from the busy cliff side - full of cafes, restaurants and quaint gift/clothes shops. We needed to leave early for a train and the host checked in on us to make sure we arrived at our next destination safely. Best hotel we stayed in throughout our 3 weeks in India.
The property was very much near to cliff, just come out of the property and voila you have the varkala beach and all the north cliff cafes…much near to other locations as well…The Host was very polite and flexible and took care of all the concerns and made arrangements accordingly….Comfortable and best Room service for Stay
This place is perfect because it’s the only resort directly at the varkala beach. everyone else needs to climb down the cliff while you just step out onto the sand.
All the other stuff you expect from a hotel are good too. I had the cheapest room and it’s perfectly fine. the Restaurant is good too and the staff super nice
One of the best stays in Varkala !!
Extremely helpful staff and the owner Thayoob sir was very kind and welcoming ! A little far from the north cliff...however the location is peaceful and at a walkable distance from the sea. Their breakfast was remarkable. Highly recommend and would come here again !
The location/ocean open view/landscape is amazing, fabulous… In front of the beach although the access is not easy (just need to go down the long stairs, down the cliff, to reach the beach, which is also amazing and big enough for your privacy. Cleaning happens upon request. Great A/C
Wanted to love this place as been staying in basic and eco - friendly places back packing across India. Location right by small beach and sea path great, albeit 30 minutes walk to north cliff, 50 to south. Very nice manager sujesh and good baked bread . Water refills.
Staffs are very friendly,my room was neet&comfatable,cliff is near by 100 meters so i can go easily,Value for money.... I recommend all to stay there. If you like to stay in varkala, Aaronic stay safe is the best choice to you 🥰
It was my first solo trip to varkala and I booked cliff and coral because it was near the beach. But the stay was more than I expected. It was perfectly cleaned, perfect bathrooms. It's a must visit.
