Good Stay

priyanshu k.group

Resort is at best possible location and the property is well maintained on the outside. Rooms could have been maintained better. There was a foul smell constantly coming from washroom and we had to use room fresher during our whole stay. Restaurant was amazing, we had good North Indian and seafood. Premium cottages are much better, we upgraded for our last day and if one can afford, should go for it , definitely value for money. Overall comfortable stay except the smell issue.

Terrible Stay

sinndhu m.family with 1 kid

the rooms were not clean. food is also not nice in claufouti restaurant. the service was very poor. we were not able to stay there even for an hour. they did not agree to provide refund amount too. the photos they had given in internet is partial. there is no privacy between rooms. totally, i had a very bad experience. i usually book accommodation in makemytrip. in the last 5 years, this is the first room we asked for checkout immediately.

Terrible Stay

joseph j.family with 1 kid

Stayed here recently and found the experience disappointing. Booked a ground-floor room that claimed “partial sea view” but had no view at all. Interiors felt cheap — black tiles, brown panelling across a wall, and poor ceiling décor. The extra adult bed provided was just a plastic-covered mattress on the floor, not even a cot. Floors stayed damp throughout, making the stay uncomfortable. This property is part of Akhil Beach Resort’s group (which runs several others in Varkala), so I’m unsure if the same standards apply elsewhere. The only plus: the compound offers a bit of open walking space. Otherwise, best avoided.

Claufouti Resort - Good Vibes

jaiz c.family with 2 kids

The property is located in the prime North Cliff which is the heart of Varkala Beach and Cliff. The entire vibes is concentrated in this region with nightlife. You feel special inside the resort when you see the crowd moving in front. Some maintenance work has to be done before the peak season. No pool but not a problem as the sea is near and I'm season time you are allowed to bath. The restaurant owned by the resort is awesome with continental cuisine and live fish. Overall experience is very good

Lie about Sea View

sagar z.family with 1 kid

Property not very well maintained. Beach view claim is not true. No private balconies, one long balcony for all rooms on floor. Width - only one person can stand at a time. I'd recommend this only if you do not have other beach resort options available

Terrible Stay

subrat k.family with 1 kid

We booked this property for 3 days and had a terrible experience. The Wi-Fi was not working, the bed sheet was dirty, and the main door lock was broken. Additionally, the road leading to the property is so narrow that it is difficult to take a car to the site.The property is poorly maintained and the service does not justify the price we paid. I strongly recommend tourists to explore other options and consider this property only as a last resort.
