    Reviews Summary

    Powered by Myra.AI

    Black Beach Resort boasts an unbeatable location right on the Varkala cliff, allowing easy access to the beach with stunning ocean views. Guests appreciated the friendly staff, helpful services, and a decent restaurant that overlooks the water. The property offers a cozy atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. However, it faces criticism regarding room maintenance, cleanliness issues, and subpar food quality. Many felt the room amenities did not meet expectations, particularly in non-AC options.

    Poor Stay

    jyothish k.group

    The room was much smaller than it looked in photo , and the AC was also not working properly. The room lock was very old and local type , though so many staffs were there nobody seemed interested in helping the guests...only after repeated requests only one person came for room service. Land phone was not working and numbers were not available to call restaurant or reception. Wifi was available but very poor speed. Swimming pool which was shown in photos was some 400m away in another location which was common for 3 or 4 resorts and it doesn't seem to be well maintained. Only positive thing is that it is very near to beach and the food was also good. Won't suggest for anyone.

    Terrible Stay

    dinesh m.

    The room is not clean and the other room's interior works make too much noise and it's so messy outside my room. The receptionist and room service are below par. Power cuts happened many times in that room and also a short circuit. I won't prefer this resort next time. Very worst experience i had ever......
