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!

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

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.

Nice resort for holidays

Reviewed By harishargosy

Actually we went there for an outing. But the ambience was awesome. It is spacious and beautiful. Clean resort. People are so humble and they make very tasty food too. Rooms are spacious and nice. They have a swimming pool for the enjoyment of the kids. Even though the road to the resort is little small, the resort is very spacious in a huge property. The design resembles traditional Kerala architecture with modern facilities. It's a must visit property. They gave us an awesome breakfast. Value for money deal with them.

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.

FINE FOODING

Reviewed By P2Psquared

one of the finest places to have your food freshly prepared and served in entire Varkala and Edava. I won't comment on stay .. since i didn't stay there this time but KUDOS to Kamal for excellent food and joyful memories of Happy Stomach. The View ... the food and if combined with an excellent stay .. makes all the difference....though i stayed 500 metres away at Maadathil and Kerela cottages.. but would high recommend kerela cottages for better pricing and view and stay .. over maadathil.... though for a limited options light breakfast you can have it at maadathil cottages but if you wish a comprehensive... diving into your taste buds .. then there is nothing better than fooding at Blue Water Beach Resort...for overall time spending awesomeness.

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
