Amazing location

Reviewed By Cash8288

The hotels warm feeling and good service is over and above the AMAZING location ! I have not rated it 5 stars cos it needs a little modernisation and maintenance :) The location of the hotel is right near to the beach, walkable distance though that path is closed in the rains.

Varkala Marine Palace

We are one of the prime properties as far as Varkala is concerned owing to our location. We are rightly on Papanasam beach, ideally in between the north & South Cliffs. We do have road accessibility inside to our resort. We offers 6 sea face extra spacious (suites) high end rooms, with private kitchen, attached toilets, balconies overlooking sea, running hot water as the specialties. Three rooms are on top floor, made in traditional Kerala style wooden cottage types.

Excellent Stay!

Reviewed By Somarupa

We booked a super deluxe room which came with a personal patio, kitchen and open air shower. The rooms are sea facing and clean built in traditional wooden architecture. The hotel is right on the Papanasam beach, so you can walk late night on the sea shore or go for a early morning sea bath. The manager was very helpful in arranging a two-wheeler for us. They have an attached restaurant also, which serves decent food and beer. Overall a very pleasant experience. Rooms have wifi, drinking water and hot water facility

Akhil Beach Resort

Where you can feel the rhythm of life.

All that glitters is not gold!

Reviewed By Padmapriya R

I an here to give a not so good review for this hotel, just to save others travellers from booking rooms from this property. This hotel took pure advantage of the Covid situation. While I saw o many resorts among the Cliff were having buffet for breakfast and dinner and they had even arranged for events for the New year's eve. The hotel management didnt even maintain the rooms properly. The landline was not working, the fan was not working. The bathroom door was not proper. No powerpoint to have the kettle on. No door stoppers for the door. The swimming pool was not maintained. We pay a huge amount, and they claim to provide the best service. But they have failed to do that. If other hotels are able to offer so much to the guests, This management should also do the same if not more.

Seaside cliff resort

Reviewed By ArunBangloreMohan

One among the many line up of Resorts on the sea side cliff. Our family stayed at the single non AC cottage closest to the sea, which offers a great view of the sea from the window and is right next to the little swimming pool. Buffet breakfast was included in our tariff of Rs 5500 with extra bed. Breakfast was good, suitable for North and south Indians and Western (Bread, omelette, corn flakes). Beach is not directly available at the resort, but is a jolly good walk along the sea side cliff, about a kilometer. Go for it, enjoy the ambience and views

7 Fully A/C rooms with oceanview balconies, Free WiFi. Varkala Beach lies on outskirts 51 km north of Trivandrum Airport and 31 km south of Kollam Dist, Kerala, India. Varkala Beach is the only place in South Kerala where cliffs are found adjacent to the Arabian Sea which attracts the visitors both for leisure as well as for religious seasons. The beautiful sandy beach is a heaven for sunbathing.

Aesthetic on point!

Reviewed By indianbyheart

I really appreciate that the hotel is not only cosy and quiet, but also takes care of aesthetic. Around reception, at the corridor and in the rooms you will find lots of pretty items and photographs. Jute elements add warmth to the ambience, I loved it. Manager was very professional and customer oriented. Staff was helpful and attentive. Hotel is clean, I can really recommend this place. I've stayed in quite a few places in Varkala and this one is the best so far, keeping in mind price, quality and location. View from rooms is amazing, you can stare at the sea and relax at the balcony. Pressure in shower is great - having long hair that's what I pay attention for. We extended our stay as it was great. Thank you for lovely stay!

Pathetic service, no basic facilities provided for the price

Reviewed By pjrobin481

Room was quite neat and could sleep properly, that is the only positive. Everything else was challenging, there was not even a single bottle of water/glass in the room. Staff from reception to caretaker all were rude and unfriendly.
