2 night stay at Gateway Varkala

Gateway Varkala is a quaint and little property compared to other Taj Properties, 800 m away from the famous cliff of Varkala, one can look to stay here if you are with your family as the property has a great pool and other games in it.
The Staff here are very helpful and they take care of you well. Visit Varkala between Monday- Thursday as the weekend can get crazily crowded at the cliff.

Amazing location

The hotels warm feeling and good service is over and above the AMAZING location !
I have not rated it 5 stars cos it needs a little modernisation and maintenance :)
The location of the hotel is right near to the beach, walkable distance though that path is closed in the rains.

Room tip: Carry your toiletries.
