If you like to be in the middle of the 'action', Hill View Beach Resort at the center of the North cliff might be your thing. If you want to opt for a more lay-back atmosphere reminding to how the place might have been 15 years ago ... check-out for places at the south cliff. We stayed at Hill View... More

We actually landed up here, because the place looked neat and authentic among the others in the Varkala lane. Also, I was a little intrigued by the name, Hill View Beach Resort! Turned out to be quite the Oasis we were looking for! The rooms are neat, spacious with old furniture and has large bathrooms with tubs and balconies. The... More

My partner & I stayed here from 29th december until 2nd January. We had a fantastic time! After being messed around by a previous hotel in Varkala I found this little gem.

Very good place in terms of look and feel. Minimal or no service. Very clean and well done bathroom with a huge tub. Could not sleep through the night because of the many cockroaches that were all over the room. At some point they were on the bed too. That was the deal breaker. Does not matter where it is... More
