Black Sand Beach Varkala

Overall hotel is good. But an incident happened, my wife and daughter were staying and after checkout, she was booking uber for technopark, and the security guard insisted her that the auto standing in front is known to them and it's better to in auto, she believed and asked price and he said don't worry we are local and won't charge more and will be taken according to meter. When they reached he asked 2000 rs. And then argument stared (uber Go it's 300 approx). Then he asked 500 rs and when when given he again started to ask more and put both of them in danger. Panicked she called a auto next to them and when that guy arrived this auto guy ran away. Clearly there is Scam happening and watchman and Hotel have commision for that. Hence for family I won't advise here. Too risky

We went for this place to enjoy the beach, beach resort - this was a wellness spa and the beach is messed up with port construction- a massive part of the beach is gone. They need to make people aware of this, I would not recommend this as a beach resort - it is a wellness resort - the fact that it is on the beach is just - wrong advertising. I would like my money back based on inaccessible beach. Rest of the resort amenities are good. The SPA is amazing. Food is good and the staff are super polite.

Okay
