Set within 500 metres of Varkala Beach and 600 metres of Odayam Beach in Varkala, Happy Buddha S4 provides accommodation with seating area. This aparthotel offers free private parking and a 24-hour front desk. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace.

When I book a hotel in India, cleanliness is what I care about the most. I can say Happy Buddha is one of the cleanest hotels I've ever stayed in India. And what is even better than cleanliness is the owner Roshan. He is very cool yet helpful. I really enjoyed talking to him and the vibe he created for Happy Buddha. Looking forward to my next visit and parties at the soon-to-be-finished rooftop!

Kerala cottage is set on the seafront in Varkala, a few steps from Odayam Beach and 400 metres from Edava Beach. Among the facilities at this property are a 24-hour front desk and full-day security, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available.

Kerala Cottages are AMAZING! The location, facilities, hospitality are all beautiful. it is true that it takes a bit of effort to reach the property, about an hours' tuk-tuk/taxi ride from TRV airport - but it's definitely worth the effort! It's in a quiet area, away from the hustle of the 'Cliff Walk', which is about 10 minutes away in a tuk-tuk. The cottages are spacious and SO comfy, clean and beautifully constructed, with a fine attention to comfortable details. The bathroom is huge, with very nice fixtures and great water pressure. The bed is super comfy, nice linens, and you have a nice seating area inside as well as on your private front porch, where you can watch the ocean and sunset! The grounds are well-kept and lush, and the ocean is literally a stones-throw away, with a cute smaller beach directly in front, that feels very private. The breakfast is to order, and really delicious. The restaurant serves regular meals that are also very nice! But the absolute best part is the staff and workers there. A young man named Nevin mans the front desk and tends to everyone staying there in the most personal and professional manner. He seems to always be available, and eager to help, or share information...always aware, but never intrusive in the least! For a truly relaxing and rejuvenating experience, Kerala Cottages is the BEST! I was SO sad to leave, and hope to visit again soon! A+++ experience!!
