Hotel Pantai di Varkala

"We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff are so helpful and friendly."

"This is a lovely place to stay. The bungalows are pleasant and very spacious, the setting of them with lawns between them and broad verandahs as well as proximity to the busy tourist cliff road and the beach make this an excellent place to stay."

"The property was beautiful and the staff were amazing! The location was beachfront and amenities including yoga were top notch. The room was comfortable and clean. You’re able to do dinner outside overlooking the beach and had a special bakery treat for my birthday. Great selection and service at breakfast!"

"Having travelled around India for 5 weeks it was refreshing to find a hotel where we weren’t pestering for reviews every 5 minutes! Maybe that’s because they don’t need to as they already know that their staff are all friendly and helpful, the hotel and rooms comfortable and spotlessly clean, nice food and pool. And all this just a short stroll to all the amenities of North Cliff. We were there when the monsoon started and as we had a late flight they allowed us to use our room until late...

"A new hotel with a warm and helpful staff. The rooms were spotless, breakfast was quality - with western omelets for those who requested. The best showers we have ever experienced in our travels in India. Thank-you!"

"A nice break from a very busy Varkala. Best if you have transportation. The natural setting is calm, and it's worth exploring the beach across the waterway, accessible via kayak or 2km walk."

"Really sweet spot just off the beach up a commerce alley. Jishnu the host was very nice and helpful with getting comfortable. Hot shower if you want it - but I’ve learned to love taking cold showers here - and the bathroom was perfectly clean and well appointed. I will be back here at the Gypsy next year for sure."
