Deshadan Cliff & Beach Resort,Varkala

Desadan Cliff Resort at Varkala was suggested to me by my Agent Ms Lekha of Ellora Holudays. We four ( a friend and wife and my wife) stayed at the property's Malabar and Mughal suites on 15th night. The general location is okay, except that the approach roads are too narrow. The configuration of the rooms around the swimming pool provides good ambience. The rooms are neat and well furnished, except for the absence of a good dressing table and cosmetic storage. Number of Plug points are not adequate. The flow of hot water is woefully poor. We had dinner and breakfast at the facility. The chef provided a very tasty, less oily food. But my main disagreement with the management is : 1. Poor ambience in the restaurant. The restaurant is a hurriedly constructed set up. The wash rooms are not neat, or well-kept. The other major defiency U find is the policy of the management to do away with Buffet breakfast when the occupancy is low. Today, as only 4 rooms are occupied they provided only Ala carte' service. This is not marching the profile if this other wise good property. The book-shelf in the Lounge is well-stocked . It is an excellent idea. I have explained these things to Mr Vinoo, the Manager on the site. Incidentally Vinoo is good listener and a receptive official. I would recommend this facility to my friends only if the shoet-comings are rectified.

Had a good time there at deshadan on May 2025. The rooms were compact but lacked refrigerators and lockers. The restroom was neat and of adequate size. Complimentary breakfast was nice and decent but no space at peak hour. The staffs were friendly and polite.

After a busy business year end ,stay at deshadan was truly rejuvenating...it my 5 stay at deshadan and they don't disappoint you in any way..

Room was clean and spacious, pool was clean, no sea view, breakfast was not good, overall a decent stay for the price

Nice property and amenities. We enjoyed very much. Pool was clean and neat. . Only the restaurant facility is not available all time. My point of view 15000 is very very high for that property.

Overpriced and over rated ! hotel is located close to the north cliff and beach. The food in the room service is very good. Other than this, there is nothing good here to pay. See details below. Pros - walkable to the cliff and beach - staff helped arrange cabs for other sight seeing and airport. - room service food was good but not the buffet breakfast (see cons) cons - there room was tiny with a small double bed and an extra bed for the child filled the room leaving hardly any space to walk - housekeeping was done in bits and pieces only after asking for each thing like towels, cleaning etc. - pool is not clean - had to ask to clean up. It was never full to the brim and draining, even when ppl were using the pool - breakfast was very very basic. - lot of other issues like bad internet, the shower button not working ridiculous hotel for the price that they charge. This is just a 2 star showing off pictures like 4star. Don't get fooled ! for the price paid it was not value of
