“This place impressed me with its prime location mere steps from the beach, plus its spacious rooms and vibrant garden; I also found the restaurant hard to fault, especially with its delicious seafood. For travelers seeking authentic Kerala vibes, the building's design evokes old ancestral homes, and the restaurant, which faces the sea, is a lovely spot to unwind. It's definitely a Varkala gem that I would recommend.”
