Search Best Hotels in Varkala

The location is good and the hotel is just fine. Need some renovation around the path leading to beach. ***y opt for this location for ease of access to beaches, if that is not maintained it will lead to disappointment. The SPA is not per the expectation and the maintenance of the spa is very bad. Food is above average. The buffet breakfast is fine but lacks variety for those staying longer. Overall it was a good experience. The attender at the pool Mr. Babu is very good, he should be awarded for his fine service. Overall the hotel staff are polite and well ***nered and hear to our concerns.

Super for staying at rachana resort at varkala beach. Staff and rooms were excellent will be advised for my friends or family stay at rachana resort

Fantastic hotel and staff, I want to mention: Praveen, the general manager, made the time to come and speak to us , very professional! Suralal, Adarsh and Deepu, the front office team, what can we say, these 3 were amazing, helpful, nothing was too much trouble...and kept in supply if many cups of coffee! Vishnu, Kavitha and Prashant, the housekeeping team, excellent service, room was spotless every day, and the towel art was fantastic, Lovely surprises! Sunil, the chef...it was like having our own private chef, the dishes he cooked for us were out of this world, the flavours were amazing something deliciously different every day! And thanks to Ambili and Kishnar Kutty, the kitchen team, their help with the dishes and the service they gave was impeccable. Thanks to Raju (day) and Mohan (night), the guards, very attentive and always a wave and a big smile. Finally Kilson and Anil, the maintenance team, always on hand to help with any problems. Thank you all, you should all be so proud of yourselves, the hotels reputation only has you all to thank.

The welcome was not ageable. While they handed us the room, they invited us to have a drink in the hotel restaurant, we asked if smoking was allowed and they told us there was no problem. Another English guest sitting at the other end of the restaurant got up and complained about the bad taste of the tobacco. A blonde lady (not Indian) came and asked us to go outside, later we discovered that she was the owner but she never introduced herself, she welcomed us, she never even said good morning and she was never interested in how the stay was. The rooms are nice and clean mini villas but the mattress is so hard that you prefer to sleep on the floor. The restaurant food is good, the restaurant service when they are not on the cell phone are friendly. It is close to the cliff but the roads to get there are very narrow and full of mud. They don't have lighting so you have to use your cell phone flashlight. The general space of the villas is nice but it lacks maintenance. There are ***y cheaper accommodation options on the cliff that I think may be a better option.

Very bad experience. The reception staff and property manager is rude and they talk without even basic decency. We had booked rooms for two days. Two people had booked dorm for two days. I had booked Dorm for day one and private room for day two. It was specifically checked in the reception whether we need to check in separately for each day and it was informed it was not necessary. It was upon their insistence, kayaking was arranged and the timing was 6.30 to 9.30 AM. The receptionist had called me around 9.45 and I told him we are on the way and will be back in some 30 minutes. By the time we get back to the hotel, it was around 10.20 since the travelling time is more than 30 mins. My luggages were inside the dorm and I was dripping wet due to kayaking. They didn’t permit me inside the room to even take my luggage and change clothes harping that check out ought to have been done by 10 AM and I cannot use the bathroom in the dorm even though the other people in the dorm is my own friends. I just requested for 15 minutes and the same was nonchalantly refused. The reception manager also said I should use the common bathroom (unisex) which I was not comfortable. Since we were from Coimbatore, the receptionist made some lure comments in Hindi. Since one of my friends know Hindi, we argued back. It is noteworthy the dorm was free and my friends said they all will wait outside and I needed only 15 minutes to change. They harped on technicalities and made me wait in way dress for almost 1.5 hours, with no remorse or regret. They didn’t even try to provide early check in even at-least payment of additional cost. Solo women travellers, BEWARE. And also non-Hindi speaking people, have ears to what comments they are making. I am also gonna initiate appropriate action against them. Highly DO NOT RECOMMEND. Worst experience.

Villa Luca is a small, cozy resort with just 9 rooms, 5 mid size rooms on the ground floor and 4 wooden floor rooms in good size on the first floor. All rooms on the first floor have a good sea view and one room on the ground floor has the sea view. There is also a small swimming pool and a tiny restaurant with all the tables facing the sea. 1 room on the ground floor has a jacuzzi…..few deck chairs, a hammock and a good view point is a plus….visit atleast once in your lifetime for a peaceful and quiet stay for 2-3 days…..

Very good stacation, near to varkala north black beach. Nice ambience wae very lovable. Thank u.
