I stayed in Varkala for 3 nights.
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.
A beautiful secret escape a stone's throw away from The north cliff! Cliff Cottage is not to be missed! If Varkala's slow pace of life is what you're looking for the cottage is the perfect place to relax! The guys who run it are very helpful and chill. Each room has it's own terrace, the animals on the grounds are as lovely as the garden and you can hear the birds chirping all day! At an affordable price and so close to everything Varkala offers, Cliff Cottage is my favourite place to stay in Varkala!
Initially, I was not sure if it would be okay to stay in Non AC as Varkala was damn Hot when I visited. However the stay wasn't too hot, despite just having a standing fan and wall fan. Washrooms and the dorm was clean enough, thanks to my dorm mates! And the common area was really good and attractive. But otherwise the overall stay was a good experience, especially for my first solo travel experience. The Cliff and Coral Personnel were kind, friendly and helpful.
Exceptional customer service. Thanks to Mr.Goodwin, owner, Mr. Atif, manager, Mr. Jonathan, Mr. Nagu and Ms. Rajine. Awesome hostel, common areas, playing games, good music, dancing, and friendly people to relax and chill. They have good breakfast, lunch and dinner. Excellent location, close to the varkala cliff beach, lots of restaurants. Awesome weather, clean beaches.
Perfect Location, Clean Room, Helpful Staff , Close to the varkla beach and Its in the cliff that's wow factor, I Really like the place and i recommend couples' and families, friends to this place if you are coming to varkala beach or cliff this place is awesome. Thank you host Karishan to make our stay so comfortable. I would love to stay here again.
really good location. few minutes walk to Varkala cliffs with shopping and bars. accessed via a small path at the back of the hotel. rooms spacious and great sized private balcony. the pool was clean and large and open till 6pm.
would def book again if we were staying in Varkala. not right on the front but that’s not an issue as lovely and quiet.
Good location - close enough to the beach but away from the tourism of North Cliff. Opposite an auto rickshaw stop so you can get everywhere easily. Lovely and helpful owner who provides an excellent breakfast (home made brown bread is yum!) Nice, clean rooms in an Indian homely style. Powerful AC. Discount at excellent spa 2 doors down.
the best place to stay in Varkala! beautiful, super clean and spacious room. comfy bed. located in walking distance to bars/ restaurants on the cliff however that makes it very special because it's actually quiet here! owners- helpful, kind and easy-going :) make sure you book surfing session with them! thanks Guys, I had amazing time!
Awesome & one of the best stay in our vacation. Property located on Cliff with beautiful view & Hotel Owner & full staff is helpful & nice. Dinner at restaurant was delicious and breakfast with sea view is memorable. If you’re planning to visit varkala then Kerala Cottages is perfect stay. Most important Hygiene 10/10. Kid friendly.
Very well maintained, a green cove just as in pictures. Peaceful premise, service was non intruding, pramod and gopan was very friendly and helpful with all our needs. Yako and Sophie is as much a part of the stay.
The South cliff beach is just a walk away, less crowded and picturesque cliff view
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
The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the host damini very friendly & helpful. The villa located very near to the cliff beach. Budget friendly and I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting varkala. The food is great, It’s homely and tastier.
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
An amazing hospitality, felt between friends.
I had a very good time talking to kuji and kuku.
Their English is perfect. So calm and peaceful.
Close to the beach (3 minutes)
6 km to the cliff
They helped to relax and also with thinking what to do
Tranquil location & good view of the ocean from the breakfast area. Staff were always happy to help with any requests. Lovely beach in front of the property to walk along & swim in. About 20 minute walk to Varkala Cliff & shops & restaurants.
Stylish homestay, large rooms with balcony and nice view of garden & balcony. lovely staff, very good location just 5mins walk from tranquil & beautiful Oddyam beach. 20mins walk from Varkala beach with cliff top cafes, restaurants and shops.
perfect location, nicely landscaped and well maintained, seconds from a quiet little used beach, an easy pleasant walk (20 min) from the restaurants and cafes etc on Varkala cliff, and one minute from an excellent restaurant next door.
The place is located very nearly to black beach, cliff. There are few bike rentals also nearby. The hosts are friendly, rooms are tidy, environment in quiet.
