After a hectic journey to Varkala, it was paradise realised reaching Pulari Gardens. The grounds are beautifully kept- lots of flowers and whitewashed walls. The room is basic but clean and cool. Warm water was lovely after a long journey. This hotel is situated about 10 mins leisurely stroll to Varkala’s main strip- my partner and I loved this walk and easily managed it 2x a day. The staff are lovely and friendly. Only word of warning- catch the staff when you see them in the office if you need anything. We had a small moment of panic when we needed our passports to leave the next day and there was no one in the office for a decent length of time, so may be wise to get these back straight away. All in all, a wonderful stay.

We stayed there for 3 days and booked for family. the facilities were very basic. there was no power backup, the bed sheets were not cleaned everyday and had to ask the reception to clean the rooms. It was impossible to call it hotel or Resort. It is a Homestay and you should not pay more than thousands rupees per night.

My Pulari Gardens stay was as good as it gets. Clean, very friendly, safe and generous. The staff was nothing but pleasant and happy. This affordable little resort is a gem in the beach reach of Varkala. I will be back.
