Gateway Varkala - IHCL SeleQtions

My wife and i go for a two night getaway once a month or two. Our aim is to rejuvenate ourselves, spoil ourselves with good food and drinks. Gateway Gateway Varkala - IHCL SeleQtions in varkala is one of our choicest destinations we have visited again and again. We love the property. The rooms are very well appointed and fairly big, though the property is old. We had gone in for a sea facing room. It has a balcony with views of the sea in the distance with lush greenery before the sea. You can hear the roaring of the sea from the balcony. It’s awesome. I would suggest that the chairs provided on the balcony be equipped with cushions for a comfortable seating. We had opted for a package inclusive of breakfast, lunch and dinner. We where disappointed to see the same restricted package menu given for dinner on the first night. However, dharmesh cariappa the gm immediately got naresh the chef to address it and thereafter we could choose any item on the restaurant menu. That was commendable. The staff in the restaurant where amazing and they where competing to spoil us with different items on the breakfast spread. We ate much more than we normally eat for breakfast just because of those smiling faces encouraging us to eat more. Special mention of rahana and shams-ha is very appropriate here. These youngsters are very resourceful and happy to keep you happy. Well done. This getaway for us has been superb. Well done team gateway Gateway Varkala - IHCL SeleQtions.

Thank you to the entire team for making my stay so special"

It was a pleasant stay in Taj Varkala. Kid's friendly as always. My kid's absolutely loved the pool. Our room was sea facing and very neat, clean with housekeeping done regularly. All meal buffets were complimentary for kids. Got a meal card from MMT which was an added bonus. There is only one restaurant which was something I didn't expect. But the restaurant staff was very kind and polite. Food was good with maintained quality. The property is not very huge like other Taj properties. A good kid's play area is missing. Front office staff was very welcoming and polite. All the chauffeurs were very polite and drove safely, gave information about different places. Overall a nice property to stay at with family. Taj is always a trustworthy name and I have had a good experience everytime.

The property was great in terms of food, services and location. But there were a few average areas as well including accessibility of amenities as well as quality of rooms. The rooms are spacious but very average in terms of built quality. For instance, their rooms are still equipped with manual lach door locks with auto sensor locks so common in even 3 star Gateway Varkala - IHCL SeleQtionss. Facilities like indoor games are placed in the central lobby reception area rather than having a dedicated gaming room. Having said that, it cannot be denied that their staff is very polite and generous. So, not great but a good stay all in all

Gateway varkala is located near the north cliff and also has an access road to the beach which is a 500m walk. Autos charge 100 inr (march 2023) to take you to the cliff (north/south. Although the property is near the beach, there are only 8 rooms that give you a sea view out of which 4 are suites. The hospitality at gateway is impeccable with so much personalization that would make you feel very special. The food is good and the views from the restaurant are amazing. When you plan your varkala trip, keep a day reserved to relax at the gateway. Enjoy the pool, board games, massage/spa and the stellar service.

We stayed here in the last week on oct 2022. The property is very well located, near the varkala beach and janardanaswamy temple (2000 yrs old) as well as north cliff. Though not on the beach, the property provides private access to the beach, which was closed during our stay in oct 2022. The rooms are spacious, neat n clean. The staff is very warm and ever ready to help, a typical taj value. The food is very good and menu is well curated. All and all a very good experience.

Staffs are kind and humble with services. Nice experience. Good is comparatively great here and awsm

The place was lovely and so is the staff. Overall good service too and would love to go over again

Wonderful hospitality and customer service

It was a lovely experience. It’s a peaceful and well maintained property. It’s located at a central location and offers a sea view as well. Lovely staff and good food.

Some renovation work was going on. That was the only negative.

It is comfortable stay, clean and hygiene. However the property is nowhere close to five star. It is bit overrated. Breakfast does not have that great variety. Service for everything is bit alow. Anything you order, ave n a cup of tea, it is going to take about an hour. Staff is good and welcoming. Swimming pool is also good.

Excellent stay, great staff. Location of the property is great as well, near to north cliff.

We had a wonderful stay at taj varkala. We were 3 adults and had booked a suite. The rooms had excellent views and the food was superb. There was a personal touch by sudeep and charly. Overall it was beyond our expectations.
