They made me feel like a home. The cooked home made food, even I made a special request to cook Kerala’s famous kheer! It was amazing. The hotel is just 5 mins from the beach. Every morning I woke up and walk to the beach. The Varkala cliff is 10 mins walk. Everything was near by. 10 from Railway station by auto. Highly...
