Hotel Dekat The Black Sand Beach Varkala

"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!"

"The Deshadan Cliff & Beach Resort was as promised with all amenities including free wifi, parking and swimming pool. The rates were slightly on the higher side owing to the holidayyum season but still not exorbitant for the amenities offered. Location was perfect and at walking distance from the beach and cliff. The rooms were clean and spacious enough with private washroom and all essential toiletries provided. Air conditioning too was fine as was the television with required channels...

"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!"

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

"Most things were really good! Great proximity to the beach and cliffside. Great rooms, nice property, good food, helpful staff. The wifi is unusable. Terrible connection, keeps dropping even in areas with good connection, makes the smart TV useless. Other minor problems: Shower gel is only enough for 1 person/1 shower, have to keep asking them to replace it. Staff woke us up in the afternoon despite a DND sign on the door. Level of service depends on who you're talking to, can be very...

"Extremely courteous staff. Lovely facility "

"Cozy room. Quiet location. Close to helipad. Lovely staff. I’d stay again. "

"Un séjour très agréable. Merci à toute l'équipe. Et un emplacement imbattable."

"Loved the room and environment. "

"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...

"I loved my stay here the staff are so easy going and friendly. The Ayurvedic massage is the best in Varkala and the view of the beach and ocean is amazing. I wanted a laid back place with no stress and that’s what Nebo is for me. There is no restaurant however Cafe Sarawaa and Trip is Life is minutes away. Also if looking for peace and quiet this is the place to visit South cliff as North Cliff is too loud and busy. Stayed in both and I prefer South ❤️"

"Well-appointed ground floor apartment, good bed, good shower, lots of space. Helpful staff as well - thoroughly recommended. "

"Brand new hotel. Great location next to the Helipad and 1 min walk to the beach and plenty of cafes, shops and restaurants. Stayed in room 301. It has a great view of the sea and the Helipad so if you like people watching this is the place for you. Very, very clean room and all hotel facilities too. Room was really good size. Linen and bed were really nice, all new and comfortable. All the staff were amazing!!!! Super helpful!!! Reception were very kind and offered me late check out...

"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."

"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."

"Excellent atmosphere and vibes! Staff is always with a smile and very happy to work. It’s a shame I had planned to move elsewhere or I would have happily stayed at this property. P.s as a foreigner here you can apply for UPI the only way to pay with your card all across India"

"Clean rooms, very helpful staff"

"Chambre très austère, pas celle des photos. Pas de serviette de bains. Draps déjà bien vieux. Pas de moustoquaire aux vitres. Emplacement calme et a 2 pas de Varkala beach."
