The food was delicious and freshly prepared. The staff was polite and helpful. Overall, it was a very nice experience and we would love to come back again."🥰🥰

    Access road was nerve wrecking because of the high Cliff and narrowness. Beach side could have been cleaner. Breakfast was locally made and great. Dinner however was outsourced and left wanting

    Friendly staff, beautiful rooms, good accessibility to all varkala hot spots

    Honestly, there was nothing I didn’t like about the property. Everything from the location and food to the hospitality was perfect and exceeded my expectations.

    I had an amazing experience staying at Maadathil Beach Resort in Varkala. The location is simply stunning – a true beach-facing paradise with a spectacular view of the sunset right over the sea. It’s the perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy the natural beauty of Kerala. The food at the resort was equally impressive. Every dish I tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared — honestly, every item on the menu is a must-try! The restaurant truly adds to the charm of the place. What made the stay even better was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, active, and always ready to help with a smile. Their warm hospitality truly made me feel at home. If you’re looking for a peaceful, scenic, and well-managed resort in Varkala, Maadathil Beach Resort is the place. Highly recommended!

    The hotel might ask for 50% upfront payment that can be made by bank transfer or via PayPal. We made a payment via PayPal and needed to cover PayPal transfer fees.

    Really enjoyed our stay at this lovely hotel. As other reviewers have said the location is just perfect. A little bit further from the busy part of Varkala cliff, so the beach is less crowded and more peaceful here. The hotel rooms are very spacious, clean and has everything you might need. Staff were super helpful and friendly too.

    There was nothing to dislike!

    A beautiful hotel in a stunning setting! We had one of the bungalows at the top, which had a good-sized balcony - perfect for enjoying the view of the sea, watching the fishermen, and listening to the constant sound of the waves. All staff were very attentive, especially the manager, Aslam - nothing was too much trouble for them, and he was very helpful with providing information prior to our visit. A good breakfast was also provided.

    Lovely beach front hotel. Quiet area but only 15mins walk to the busier cliff area. Plenty of places to eat near by. Our host was great and couldn’t do enough for us. Difficult to find so call ahead.

    Nothing to mention.Everything over there exceeded my expectations.

    I was in Kerala for 1 week and I was staying at Varkala cliff for about 5 nights and I don't like the stay over there it was very loud and crowded So I tried this property and it was an awesome experience. It was very calm and peaceful over there. No crowd or any disturbance even on weekends. And the main point is we will get a private beach type of experience over there and it's worth experiencing on your vacation.
