Deshadan Cliff & Beach Resort,Varkala

The way to the beach is very narrow. Actually there is no proper road. You have to cross very narrow waterlogged lanes. Our door lock was not working properly. The dialer/receiver phone which was kept in the room was not working. The service was good. Food was tasty. But if you think about the location the rate is overpriced.

Desadan Cliff Resort at Varkala was suggested to me by my Agent Ms Lekha of Ellora Holudays. We four ( a friend and wife and my wife) stayed at the property's Malabar and Mughal suites on 15th night. The general location is okay, except that the approach roads are too narrow. The configuration of the rooms around the swimming pool provides good ambience. The rooms are neat and well furnished, except for the absence of a good dressing table and cosmetic storage. Number of Plug points are not adequate. The flow of hot water is woefully poor. We had dinner and breakfast at the facility. The chef provided a very tasty, less oily food. But my main disagreement with the management is : 1. Poor ambience in the restaurant. The restaurant is a hurriedly constructed set up. The wash rooms are not neat, or well-kept. The other major defiency U find is the policy of the management to do away with Buffet breakfast when the occupancy is low. Today, as only 4 rooms are occupied they provided only Ala carte' service. This is not marching the profile if this other wise good property. The book-shelf in the Lounge is well-stocked . It is an excellent idea. I have explained these things to Mr Vinoo, the Manager on the site. Incidentally Vinoo is good listener and a receptive official. I would recommend this facility to my friends only if the shoet-comings are rectified.

Had a horrible experience the AC was not working the technician where nowhere around. I won’t complain about the night shift people, but the people who where in the reception by the time I checked in done nothing to fix or find any alternative solution. They didn’t even mentioned anything to the night shift people regarding this issue.

After a busy business year end ,stay at deshadan was truly rejuvenating...it my 5 stay at deshadan and they don't disappoint you in any way..

Bad breakfast. No proper reception. The hotel states cliff and beach resort. And there is no beach facing here at all. We had to walk outside the hotel few mins to go to a common/public beach. The reception was so untidy. Shockingly there is no reception powder room/rest room.

Nice property and amenities. We enjoyed very much. Pool was clean and neat. . Only the restaurant facility is not available all time. My point of view 15000 is very very high for that property.
