Review Of Clafouti Beach Resort

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.

The room was small and dingy compared to its cost. the place also lacks good connecting road. The restaurant service was good though.

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

it was horrible experience and destroyed my vacation of Varakala. The hotel was too mis managed and basic amenities like bathroom thing was missing

Property has good location with great quality service. Clean and hygiene bathrooms. I would recommend this Property to everyone

food was amazing and pocket friendly. no large mirror in the partial sea view rooms. they don't clean rooms upon request

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

Quick resolution to problems

The location and the food of the place is amazing.The manager was courteous and even allowed an early checkin

it's overall average..... not special it's an average stay.. tv is not working..room not well maintained. it's overall average..... not special it's an average stay.. tv is not working..room not well maintained..

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.

Location, Amenities & services were good. But receptionist was not cooperative. Overall experience was awsome

The outside view (towards the sea face) of the resort is good but the cottage is not good and facilities for the money are not worth it. required more cleanliness and should maintain proper maintenance. should have proper water taps inside the washroom. no proper drinking water facility. staff is good but resort looks old and not worth of the money The outside view (towards the sea face) of the resort is good but the cottage is not good and facilities for the money are not worth it. required more cleanliness and should maintain proper maintenance. should have proper water taps inside the washroom. no proper drinking water facility. staff is good but resort looks old and not worth of the money.

Bad rooms and hotel staff not that good. The restaurant doesn't look good, they were like eat if you want or leave attitude

rooms are too dirty and too small for a whooping price..Pls don't book this place ...Horrible

I am writing this review based on my recent stay experience. Pros: 1. The location is really awesome - situated right on the cliff with easy access to the beach vibes. 2. Clafouti cafe offers a decent menu with a good price. And Yes, the food was tasty too. Cons: 1. The road to the property is very narrow and congested. Vehicles can reach the property, but if one comes from the opposite direction… you're caught in a mousetrap situation! 😄 2. The staff was not at all welcoming. Especially most of the cafe staff - they carry an attitude like you "eat if you want, otherwise leave. The resort staff also lacked hospitality. 3. We have stayed in their Partial sea view room, but there was nothing special about it. There is only a common balcony in front of our room which is very congested. I was with my wife and kid, and when we returned from a walk at night, there on the common balcony. Since our room opened into that same space, we had to walk through them every time we entered or exited. It felt extremely uncomfortable, especially with family. 4. The room was average and definitely not worth it for a night. The towel, bedsheets were stained and the property itself was not maintained well. It’s definitely not family-friendly, especially if you’re traveling with kids or elders. But if you're visiting with a group of friends or as a bunch of bachelors looking to chill and hang out, it might still work for you

very poorly maintained room. Clafauti is just an old name sake resort. The bed was too hard & the pillows were old & trash. Couldn't sleep at all. poor AC cooling. bathroom was horrible. After bathing the water logged inside and no proper drainage. Flush was not working properly. Crap room. Not recommended for the hype & money spent !!

Hotel Clafouti was average. Despite being off season we paid per room that is 2k extra per room since we booked through make my trip instead of Booking directly on their website . It did not even include complimentary breakfast.

Found it on makemytrip. Most excellent thing to be noted are the cliff view and food. It's surely a recommended one.
