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.

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.

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.

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.

We were 9 people in the group. Deshadan is quiet, peaceful and serenely beautiful. Rooms are around the pool and have names like Shillong, etc. Rooms are mid-sized but comfortable. Staff are very friendly and service prompt. Restaurant is in an outhouse nearby. Food is surprisingly very good. We loved the seafood fried rice. Price range also very pocket friendly. Breakfast is also served in this restaurant. The best thing is that staff go out of their way to satisfy your needs. Beach is just a short walk away through a small pathway. Deshadan satisfies in its own beautiful way. Strongly recommended.

This was a one day stay with the family and it was my daughter's birthday too. The resort was very clean, pleasant and peaceful. The lightings in the night were very beautiful and the resort looked very authentic. Food we ordered in the night was very tasty and the morning breakfast was oriental and it was very tasty and good. Staff were really helpful and quick to help whenever required. I would recommend highly of this place. I had a quality time here with my family.

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.

We stayed here for 4 nights in February 2020. The staff are superb in every possible way. The poolside rooms are good but getting a tad tired looking. We ate meals here breakfast is ok, lunch and dinner we had 3 meals out of 4 which were really excellent, the 4th was when they had a large party in and they could not cope in the kitchen. Pool is lovely. Yes we would stay again.
