We liked all the places and enjoyed in everyplace .. we liked the package and enjoyed very well. They have planned it very properly and arranged everything. Obviously we will suggest the package for others who are planning to visit.

The hotel is in a quiet area so we enjoyed a peaceful, uninterrupted night. It's an easy 15 minute walk to the restaurants and shops above the beach. Breakfast in the hotel was served by the pool and it was good and plentiful.

Location : 4/5 (2 mins walking to the beach) Room: 3/5 Service: 2/5 Food: 1/5 Staff: 3/5 There are other good options in same pricing and better view and facilities But we are extremely thankful to concierge service, and peak season room availability. Also since we were there during Christmas , we recieved a complimentary Wine & Plum cake which was really a very sweet gesture. Breakfast options weren't much , the food was okayish & not tasty as rest of Kerala.

One of the best resorts you can find at varkala. If you are planning for trip to varkala. Then deshadan is right choice. We stayed 3days and 2nights there and we very much impressed by their hospitality and service. Rooms are simple and neat enough for family members and friends. We can reach Vakala cliff by walk itself. Complementary breakfast is being provided and currently there are reconstruction work is going on at the restaurant. So for lunch and dinner we can do order from the room and we can get room service on time. Rental two wheeler can be arranged by Deshadan staff. Per day the rent is 400 per bike. Swimming pool available with 4ft depth Kids will definitely enjoy this. Even adults too. Budget friendly, safety, suitable for families, friends and bachelors too. Laundry option available with tariff plan.…

Situated in a way off place, but the resort itself is nice and spacious. Very friendly staff. Average food. No intercom in rooms, but room service possible if one calls the staff on their mobile phones. No tea kit / kettle provided unless asked for. No view. Accessing the cliff head / beach is problematic as the road on which the resort is situated is VERY narrow and confusing. Why not stay in a resort / hotel near the cliff head itself? So one can not only enjoy the natural views, one can also chill out in the market area, full of good eateries and funky crowds.

Actually we went there for an outing. But the ambience was awesome. It is spacious and beautiful. Clean resort. People are so humble and they make very tasty food too. Rooms are spacious and nice. They have a swimming pool for the enjoyment of the kids. Even though the road to the resort is little small, the resort is very spacious in a huge property. The design resembles traditional Kerala architecture with modern facilities. It's a must visit property. They gave us an awesome breakfast. Value for money deal with them.

Hotel can be little difficult to find when coming at night but it is located very close to varkala cliff. It is a good 3 star hotel. Best aspect about this hotel is the staff which is very friendly and courteous. The hotel manager especially was excellent. They made our tone night stay here a delight. Rooms are ok but clean. Don't expect luxury here which sometimes we thing we will get from photos but it is decent hotel.. The other guests that night were unfortunately rowdy locals which dampened the experience little bit

We went as a 4 people gang, it was a pretty decent stay for that price. The staffs were super friendly, Pretty much clean toilets and atmosphere. The pool water quality was tasted a bit different, that was the only down point I found in the stay. Would recommend Deshadan if you are looking for a Budget pool resort around Varkala Cliff.
