    delicious food
    charming pool
    minor power issues

    Had a lovely stay with amazing food that hit the spot every time, especially the local dishes. The pool and sun terrace were perfect for unwinding after exploring. Just a heads up, there were a couple of minor power flickers, but it didn't spoil the fun! 😊

    tranquil atmosphere
    friendly staff
    limited beach shade
    minor maintenance issues
    slow towel service

    The stay provided a tranquil atmosphere, just a short walk from Odayam Beach where witnessing sunrise was a daily highlight. Every morning began delightfully with fresh, home-made food that was consistently well-prepared, making dining a genuinely pleasurable experience. Although the beach nearby could use more shaded areas, the attention to cleanliness and the friendliness of the staff made up for it. a couple of minor maintenance issues were observed during our visit, and getting extra towels took a bit longer than expected.

    beach inconvenience

    The beach nearby could really use some more shade—who wants to fry like a crispy papad? And the wait for extra towels? Let’s say, patience is a virtue!

    spacious room
    comfortable bed
    beach view
    basic bathroom
    warm temperature

    The room was super spacious and clean with a really comfy king-size bed. We had an amazing view of the beach from our balcony, definitely a highlight. AC worked well, which was great because it got warm. The bathroom was neat, though a bit basic. it felt like a nice retreat after exploring Varkala.
