Palan Beach Resort - Resort hotel in Varkala - Thiruvananthapuram, India

The property is located towards the southern part of the cliff. Location, service, room condition was absolutely good. They have emough parking space too. They have beautiful cliff facing room too. The cost was a bit overpriced without breakfast but was manageable as I visited during season.

We stayed another time in Varkala, this time at the Palan. We got a very nice room, second floor with balcony-stunning view at the sea. The Palan is located directly at the cliff with a lot of restaurants and shops, you enter a nicely arranged garden followed by the hotel, so noone who stares at you as well as quiet nights! The staff and management are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are cleaned daily, nice rain shower (which I used a lot due to humidity...), spacious room with a/c and fan, a safe and a fridge. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Simple unfussy hotel in north cliff of varkala, located comfortably in cliff road with numerous cafes and shops in walkable distance. Rooms are newly decorated, maintained clean and has great views of the ocean. They don't provide much services other than rooms, no breakfast or restaurant in the property. But you have multiple cafes nearby. Ample car parking at the property.

Stayed here on a one night visit to Varkala. Location was optimal, right on the cliff. We had a second floor, sea view room which did not disappoint, equipped with a good sized balcony to enjoy the sunset and sunrise from. Hotel is tastefully decorated and the room and bathroom were very clean. The space is a little run down and in need of a fresh coat of paint, new bath linens and bedsheets but for one night it was comfortable and the kind, friendly staff members made us feel welcome.

Not as much as I expected. There are other resorts which give similar kinds of experience with less pricing. I have requested a refund for my cancellation amount, but still haven't received it. As per the resort policy, the refund will be processed within 10 days. Already 8months over and still haven't received the amount. Although an average resort, well service by the way

The rooms are spacious, comfy and clean. i have got a room in first floor. And the view from the room is breathtaking. The sunrise is so beautiful. As it is locates in the cliff itself we have lot of cafes, shopping places etc nearby. I had a small inconvenience at first that they had a made me pay extra Rs500 saying that the AC in the room i booked is not working and they can only provide a upgraded room at the last moment. I had no other choice other than paying that because at the last moment no other rooms where available. So not satisfied with their service .

Nice experience there. Specially location. Room charges are little high.

1. Hotel location and view from the balcony is very good. 2. We booked room on 2nd floor which had great beach view and room was quite big. 3. They do provide kettle and hair dryer as well. 4. Room cleanliness and staff is good. 5. One bad thing was that they have 2 single size mattress on double bed. It can get uncomfortable for a couple.
