    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.

    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.

    First off, the staff were all awesome here: front of house and back. Everyone is so friendly & accommodating. Love the cafe area outside to chill, eat, read, party, whatever…lots of common areas here. There’s a huge backyard with room to roam/post up. The beds are standard but comfy. Facilities are cleaned daily so everything’s tip top. This place is only 5min walk to the beach. Lots of touristy shops/restaurants on the cliffs there, so you have shopping/food, but ask the staff where to eat. They know the good spots.

    The location of this hotel is absolutely amazing. It is in the middle of the nature facing a rice field. It is very quiet. At night and in the morning, you can hear the birds and frogs singing. The rooms are very big and clean. The Indian breakfast is very generous. A nice beach is just a few meters away from the hotel. You can easily walk to Varkala and Edava beach. The walk is very pleasant and beautiful. I highly recommend you to stay in this hotel if you're looking for a quiet place far from Varkala's bustle.

    Food is very good especially veg. Children would love to eat Dal kichdi which is complementary too. Access to resort from Varkala sivagiri station was convenient. If people wanted to see the north cliff especially shopping and dining, we can take the road uphill by walk or auto. If u want to access the beach down, best route would be taking a walk close to Janardanaswamy temple. Kaveri elephant park is worth watching.

    The staff is so good and courteous. They have arranged for the rental bike and local auto to drop us to railway station. Access to private beach and cliff is the best part of this place. Food served had many options to choose from. Don't forget to meet Aslam who's managing this property. Aadith and Karthik made our stay and meals hassle free There is a swing in the open area and a lot of desks to relax.

    Honestly the best i could've got for the price paid. The property is fairly new and clean unlike other hostels, the location is 2 mins walk from Odayam beach (which again is very clean and serene), the manager and the owner are warm and overall the vibe of cliff and coral is amazing. You should definitely go with this hostel if you plan to come to varkala and ditch the crowded north cliff area.
