Rooms were good, tv wasn't working in our room, when asked the caretaker, he did the needs. Swimming pool is spacious and calming. We were allowed to access it until 9. 30pm. At night, moths get attracted to light in swimming pool and get in the water, which was kinda disgusting, but can't be helped as these insects are present in all of varkala. There are only 6-7 rooms here and a lake is present, they don't seem to have license to access it now. Kappil beach is nearby<2km) and there is mangrove forest around 6-7km from here for water activities. Swimming pool is cleaned everyday. Also, people book this place for functions on the lawn next to the lake. It was a pleasant stay for us.
