Deshadan Cliff & Beach Resort

First thing that you notice while entering the Varkala town that there are very less signs reading 'Deshdan', while there are plenty of others. Recommend Deshadan Cliff & Beach Resort management to put more direction help for the guests. The Deshadan Cliff & Beach Resort is located about a kilometer from a very beautiful cliff and the Varkala beach through a market full of lovely shops and food joints. However there is a small patch (about 200 meters) in the way which is little deserted. There wasn't any problem though, it still gives a weird feeling. In the Deshadan Cliff & Beach Resort, poolside rooms are really nice. There was a small dining space (hut shaped) opposite to the rooms. The Deshadan Cliff & Beach Resort staff (especially the receptionist) was quite nice, always wearing smiles on their faces. Breakfast was amazing. However the kitchen closes early in the evening (9:30pm) asking you to take a walk for your supper to the restaurants in the cliff mall, which is more beautiful in the evenings. We wish to go again in future and relive the experience.

Varkala is the only place in southern Kerala where cliffs are found adjacent to the Arabian Sea. [2] These Cenozoic sedimentary formation cliffs are a unique geological feature on the otherwise flat Kerala coast, and is known among geologists as Varkala Formation and a geological monument as declared by the Geological Survey of India. There are numerous water spouts and spas on the sides of these cliffs. In 2015, Ministry of Mines, Government of India and Geological Survey of India (GSI) have declared Varkala Cliff as a geo-heritage site. Polite staff and peaceful ambience . Relaxed environment for couples . Close to the helipad. The swimming pool timings could be increased tough but it was clean. Breakfast could have more variety. A little expensive in spite of being non season at present. Thanks for an overall comfortable stay .

The Deshadan Cliff & Beach Resort is located few minutes walk from the cliff. We had a great time staying at the Deshadan Cliff & Beach Resort. Hotel staff is very friendly and were extremely helpful. They went out of their way to ensure we have a good time in Varkala. Sajin, in particular, was very helpful in suggesting sightseeing and adventure ideas and in arranging our travel around. Hotel arranged for us to go for water sports at Kaapil Beach, and also informed the center of our arrival in advance, which immediately made us feel comfortable and safe at the water sports center. The restaurant had delicious food especially the masala fried fish. Restaurant staff is also very polite and helpful.

Never have I stayed in the same resort twice. Never have I recommended a place so much to my friends and circles. Never have I felt homesick when leaving a facility on vacation. Deshadan Varkala made me do all this. They have redefined what service means. They don't treat you as guests. They go that extra mile making you feel royal. It is the simple things that they do and take care of, be it the broad smiles of the staff, homely service, nice food, swimming pool, etc. and the homely and amazing new year party they threw, was a sweet touch. I generally don't go gaga over reviews. But I am doing so for Deshadan Varkala. Will go again and again. Thank you folks.

This resort is at a nice distance from the beach and so it has got a calm atmosphere. The cliff is almost 200 metres away and it is easily accessible through a shortcut. The staff is very polite and the food is really good ... The complimentary breakfast can have more items but its still tasty .. Floor mats are missing in the room. Considering the fact that most of the rooms are poolside, this is a must. The swimming pool timings are up to 6pm but they are quite liberal and you can use it for more time .. Booking through MMT can save you a bit of money. Overall a very good experience and highly recommended ...

We traveled as a family with my 2 year old daughter who loves water. If you can properly differentiate your time, Deshadan is a wise and luxurious choice. The ambiance, room and pool are well maintained and tempting to make us spend more time there. But here we have the best beach of Kerala and we will easily spend more time. So a short stay is actually not enough. The food from a nearby restaurant at the Cliff (Sea-view restaurant) and the view from there is fabulous. I personally recommend book room only without food and have food from the restaurants at the Cliff. The staff at Deshadan were also very kind.

It's a good place to stay. Good hospitality from the staffs. Budget room. Room and bathroom are neat. The road to the property is a narrow where two big vehicles can't go to at the same time. There not much Deshadan Cliff & Beach Resorts or shops nearby for which we need to go to the cliff which is around 250 meters. There are no extra plus points to charge our phones. There is only one charging point which is in the bathroom. Overall a good experience.

Rooms were clean. Located about 500 meter from Varkala Cliff. You won't have a view of the Beach. They have a clean pool. Stayed in a cottage kind of room near the pool. Outside food is not allowed. Food is a bit costly. Courteous staff. Calm atmosphere. It was off season when I went there, only one dental kit was provided for a double occupancy room. Intercom was not working properly.

Caring staff, delicious food and responsible hospitality

Nice food, very hygienic and provides good safety and standards. The location is near the beach and if we want a two wheeler they will arrange. The resort has a well maintained swimming pool. Also the resort people are very friendly and supportive.

I had a short stay of one night at this Deshadan Cliff & Beach Resort. Room was good. Staff was helpful and well mannered. Just a couple of minutes walk to reach the cliff and beach from there. Food was quite good but a bit pricey. Pool was there but didn't get time to enjoy that. Overall you can go for it, if you don't want to spend extra bucks for cliff side stay.

Over all very nice place to stay. Walking distance from cliff. Very hygienic. Calm and peace.

Friendly staff. Pool is well kept.

Good Deshadan Cliff & Beach Resort with clean rooms. Hotel had swimming pool facility as well in that location. Food was good and tasty, specially sea foods was delicious and good place for group of friends to spend their weekend time.

Stay was average, breakfast was not all good. Room was nice but was having smell while we entered. The bed was also smelling

It's located about 400 meter from the cliff and is a very neat and tidy Deshadan Cliff & Beach Resort located in a lane.

Room is great, food is okay, I ordered masala omelette and pancake which was nice. The pool is well maintained.

Staff was very pleasant and helpful. Will definitely opt this stay if I travel to Varkala again

Very good experience. It is located at convenient place from the beach, not too far, not on the beach itself. The service was also responsive and positive. We were received well by the staff and prompt service provided. Quality of food can still be improved further, but it doesn't matter much.

resort is well maintained. especially hospitality is top notch with good restaurant.
