We enjoyed our time at this hotel. Nice, big rooms - quiet beautiful place with a nice pool and a good breakfast. Not far to walk to the beach.

Good service, good a/c, comfortable beds, nice pool, but bathrooms could have been nicer and wifi didn't work in our room. Somewhat noisy in the mornings due to on-site restaurant/neighboring rooms.

Wonderful location, good amenities
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 available. The wifi was a tad slow to be honest especially inside the rooms but manageable. The free buffet breakfast was quite a decent spread and had a mix of South Indian and continental. The food otherwise too was tasty albeit a bit on the higher side as far as prices were concerned. The staff were all extremely friendly and more than willing to help out with a smile, whenever required. Dealing with each and every one of them was pleasant. Overall, an excellent and relaxing stay.

Very nice compact hotel.. near rooms good food.. only suggestions pl provide a proper route map to reach the hotel from say Kollam or Kochi. Google maps takes you to very bad roads along beach if you are self driving

Great otpion for Varkala Beach.
This is a great option for Varkala beach. Super friendly staff and decent, spacious bedrooms. Great breakfast, not the same every day. Fresh fruit juice, healthy stuff. Smooth check-in and check out. Pool hours should really be reviewed, it is too restrictive to tell guests in a destination like Varkala Beach that pool access is not possible after 6pm. Really hoping to go back soon.

Äger var mycket trevlig och hjälpsam. Personalen är väldigt service inriktade. Mysigt och familjärt ställe som vi verkligen trivdes på. Kan varmt rekommendera detta boende!

8/10 Very good

A great location at a relatively low cost
We loved staying in Varkala, the Deshadan is a great location, just 5 mins off the main beach and restaurant area. A fabulous beach!! Highly recommend My Place restaurant, Tika Masala and fish in banana leave we’re particularly good! Accommodation great for a relatively low cost hotel with A/C & fan, breakfast included. The only enhancement would have been a in-room safe.

4/10 Fair

Prix largement surévalué
Hôtel agréable, bon petit déjeuner, mais pour bien moins cher à Varkala (15€ de moins) on trouve mieux, plus belle piscine, chambre au moins aussi confortable et emplacement similaire... Nous avons donc déménagé.

good hotel with great pool
A nice hotel with friendly staff. The breakfast staff were very helpful in particular. The room was good but make sure you get one close to the pool as the ones at the front of the hotel near the road are grotty. A five minute walk to the beach.

Indyjska Kerala w pełnej krasie.
Biorąc pod uwagę zalety hotelu i jego okolicy warto było tam pojechać. Hotel położony blisko słynnego klifu z jego atrakcjami w postaci bardzo wielu sklepów i niemal podobnej liczby najprzeróżniejszych restauracyjek z doskonałymi potrawami oraz piaszczystej i generalnie czystej płazy, a jednocześnie cichy i spokojny, bo nieco oddalony od zgiełku handlowo - kulinarnego. Warto będzie tam wkrótce wrócić. Swoista atrakcja jest pobliska świątynia, do której można dojść pieszo lu dojechać tut-Tuskiem dosłownie za grosze.

A lot of bang for the buck
Great value for money, best we've stayed in so far in India. Nice pool, fantastic staff, good food in the restaurant. A little jaded but aren't we all? Wifi good when it worked but was a little temperamental. All in all a great stay, would highly recommend

Lovely resort - food could be improved a little
Overall our stay was very enjoyable. The room was large and clean with a seating area, TV and very comfortable bed. The pool and surrounding area were kept very clean as well. Staff were polite although service a little slow. Only complaint is the food. We ordered pasta one night which was full of garlic skin. Another morning I ordered cereal and was presented with a bowl but told they thought it was bad - I tried one piece in front of them as that's what it seemed like they were waiting for me to do, it was indeed bad. I asked for toast instead and the first lot we were given was mouldy. And the fruit in the morning tasted strongly of onion. The food is what lets what would be a very nice hotel down.

There are a lot of better Hotels near
We booked this one in advanced.. bad desiscion. We paid the roon and didnt sleep here, because of the room and the atmosphere of the hole resort where terrible. You can find much better Hotels near the cliff for way better price.

6/10 Good

OK for India
Reasonable overall. Dated rooms, outdoor breakfast seemed quite unhygienic with ants everywhere, usual egg and rubbishy toast with nescafe or lukewarm tea. Very helpful staff lent us power adaptors and basically let us check out much later than the published time which was useful. Bags left there all day with no problems.

Convenient stopover
We stayed at the Deshshdan Cliff and Beach Resort for one night as a stop over for a night before heading to Kovalam for the final stay. The hotel is rather dated and rooms a bit crammed around a small swimming pool. It is OK for a one night stay as the location is ideal to walk to Varkala beach (a couple of hundred meters) to see the sunset in the evening and have a drink while taking in the view.
