Maadathil Cottages & Beach Resort

Location on beach 🏖️ Nice walk to markets and bars , restaurants 👍

Little tricky to access ( even taxis seemed lost/ nervous 🤣🤣)

I love how close it is to the beach. The beach itself was perfect to swim and sun bathe. The menu is extensive and their food is very delicious. Don’t miss out on amazing sea food. The hammocks are perfect to swing and watch the day go by !

The walk to the restaurant from the bedroom area feels long on a super hot day.

It was lovely being at the very quiet part coastline, walking to the busier part took just twenty minutes along the beach if we wanted to. The staff were lovely, the hotel is small and the manager and staff know who you are immediately so you quickly feel at home.

The staff were very hospitable and was great accommodation right by the beach.

Could've helped more with transportation to our next destination

Clean, comfortable bungalow in a quiet part of the Varkala beach

Once booked online, the property started emailing me demanding a prepaiment. I managed to negotiate it over the phone. Also, beer and alcoholic beverages are not available at this property - you'll have to eat somewhere else to have it or to buy semi-legally.

Idyllic beachside cottages situated a short walk from the stunning town of Varkala

Nothing

The resort is a little way out of the main action along the beach, but that made it peaceful. The beach outside was quiet and felt quite remote and relaxing. The resort is tiny but old but comfortable enough, and the staff was helpful and friendly. This is a good spot if you want less noise but still only a 20-minute walk to North Cliff for restaurants, shops, and music.

It could do with some loungers actually on the beach ( we rented an umbrella and plastic chairs so not a disaster) and some more shade in the garden area. My biggest wish would be a small swimming pool as the waves were fun but prevented proper swimming.
