The rates were slightly on the higher side owing to the holidayyum season but still not exorbitant for the amenities offered. Location was perfect and at walking distance from the beach and cliff. The rooms were clean and spacious enough with private washroom and all essential toiletries provided. Air conditioning too was fine as was the television with required channels available. The wifi was a tad slow to be honest especially inside the rooms but manageable. The free buffet breakfast was quite a decent spread and had a mix of South Indian and continental. The food otherwise too was tasty albeit a bit on the higher side as far as prices were concerned. The staff were all extremely friendly and more than willing to help out with a smile, whenever required. Dealing with each and every one of them was pleasant. Overall, an excellent and relaxing stay. ##### S Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 23 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very nice compact hotel.. near rooms good food.. only suggestions pl provide a proper route map to reach the hotel from say Kollam or Kochi.

This is a great option for Varkala beach. Super friendly staff and decent, spacious bedrooms. Great breakfast, not the same every day. Fresh fruit juice, healthy stuff. Smooth check-in and check out. Pool hours should really be reviewed, it is too restrictive to tell guests in a destination like Varkala Beach that pool access is not possible after 6pm. Really hoping to go back soon. ##### BJ ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim 26 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Kim Sjöholm Äger var mycket trevlig och hjälpsam.

A fabulous beach!! Highly recommend My Place restaurant, Tika Masala and fish in banana leave we’re particularly good! Accommodation great for a relatively low cost hotel with A/C & fan, breakfast included. The only enhancement would have been a in-room safe. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1011-p6a278fc0-25eb-11e8-9b80-6a03179474b2-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s272-p590b86b0-25eb-11e8-8364-4e5751ef2f19-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s664-p8ba4dd60-25eb-11e8-8364-4e5751ef2f19-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jillian Stayed 1 night in Mar 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### 2 français en vacances, France 1 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Prix largement surévalué Hôtel agréable, bon petit déjeuner, mais pour bien moins cher à Varkala (15€ de moins) on trouve mieux, plus belle piscine, chambre au moins aussi confortable et emplacement similaire...

Biorąc pod uwagę zalety hotelu i jego okolicy warto było tam pojechać. Hotel położony blisko słynnego klifu z jego atrakcjami w postaci bardzo wielu sklepów i niemal podobnej liczby najprzeróżniejszych restauracyjek z doskonałymi potrawami oraz piaszczystej i generalnie czystej płazy, a jednocześnie cichy i spokojny, bo nieco oddalony od zgiełku handlowo - kulinarnego. Warto będzie tam wkrótce wrócić. Swoista atrakcja jest pobliska świątynia, do której można dojść pieszo lu dojechać tut-Tuskiem dosłownie za grosze. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### ron 15 Mar 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely quiet location, only short walk to beach.

All in all a great stay, would highly recommend ##### Marcus ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 26 Nov 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely resort - food could be improved a little Overall our stay was very enjoyable. The room was large and clean with a seating area, TV and very comfortable bed. The pool and surrounding area were kept very clean as well. Staff were polite although service a little slow. Only complaint is the food. We ordered pasta one night which was full of garlic skin. Another morning I ordered cereal and was presented with a bowl but told they thought it was bad - I tried one piece in front of them as that's what it seemed like they were waiting for me to do, it was indeed bad. I asked for toast instead and the first lot we were given was mouldy. And the fruit in the morning tasted strongly of onion. The food is what lets what would be a very nice hotel down. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sudhakar, USA 8 Nov 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very helpful staff.

Dated rooms, outdoor breakfast seemed quite unhygienic with ants everywhere, usual egg and rubbishy toast with nescafe or lukewarm tea. Very helpful staff lent us power adaptors and basically let us check out much later than the published time which was useful. Bags left there all day with no problems. ##### richrich ### 8/10 Good #### rohit, jaipur 16 Mar 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### “Comfy beds” nice service!! ##### rohit ### 6/10 Okay #### Pawan Dhir, London 3 Mar 2014 #### Convenient stopover We stayed at the Deshshdan Cliff and Beach Resort for one night as a stop over for a night before heading to Kovalam for the final stay. The hotel is rather dated and rooms a bit crammed around a small swimming pool. It is OK for a one night stay as the location is ideal to walk to Varkala beach (a couple of hundred meters) to see the sunset in the evening and have a drink while taking in the view. ##### Pawan Dhir ### 8/10 Good #### Patrick et Brenda, Canada 8 Feb 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Convinient and quiet It was quiet and pleasant stay, had a good room, regarding the kitchen and staff, there is need for improvement. Also the bed too soft, not really good for the back. Good thing its was far from noise. ##### Patrick et Brenda ### 10/10 Excellent #### TheCrip, London 15 Jan 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Brilliant I had a lovely time at Deshadan. The staff were kind and welcoming, the rooms tasteful and spotlessly clean. I enjoyed the room service food and it was excellent value. Very importantly, the air conditioning was good. (I learnt in India that not all air conditioning is created equal!) Deshadan is a few minutes walk from the beach and it was lovely to stroll back to a genuinely cool room. The bed was comfortable. What else can I say? I loved it. ##### TheCrip ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Aurika, Udaipur - Luxury by Lemon Tree Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Aurika-Udaipur.h40886310.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Lake Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Taj-Lake-Palace.h526333.Hotel-Information) > > [Seashell Suites and Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Candolim-Hotels-Seashell-Suites-And-Villas.h12778567.Hotel-Information) > > [The St. Regis Goa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavelossim-Hotels-The-St-Regis-Goa-Resort.h438378.Hotel-Information) > > [Little India Beach Cottages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calangute-Hotels-Little-India-Beach-Cottages.h10981751.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Pune by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pune-Hotels-Conrad-Pune-By-Hilton.h12270445.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oberoi Cecil, Shimla](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shimla-Hotels-The-Oberoi-Cecil.h68929.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agra-Hotels-The-Oberoi-Amarvilas.h551355.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Goa Dona Sylvia Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavelossim-Hotels-Novotel-Goa-Dona-Sylvia-Hotel.h2516280.Hotel-Information) > > [O by Tamara, Trivandrum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thiruvananthapuram-Hotels-O-By-Tamara.h44568885.Hotel-Information) > > [Fragrant Nature Kochi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kochi-Hotels-Fragrant-Nature-Kochi-A-Classified-Five-Star-Hotel.h12232968.Hotel-Information) > > [Madhubhan Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anand-Hotels-Madhubhan-Resort-Spa.h5087959.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Resort Goa by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavelossim-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Resort-Goa.h696977.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Ludhiana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ludhiana-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Ludhiana.h7597440.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Jalandhar City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jalandhar-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Jalandhar-City-Centre.h4225454.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Goa Candolim](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Candolim-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Goa-Candolim.h1039834.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Goa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anjuna-Hotels-The-Westin-Goa.h66031217.Hotel-Information) > > [Goa Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Panaji-Hotels-Goa-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h522986.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Madikeri Resort & Spa, Coorg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madikeri-Hotels-Taj-Madikeri-Resort-Spa.h5270400.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Goa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benaulim-Hotels-Taj-Exotica-Resort-Spa.h663615.Hotel-Information) > > [Mistral Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benaulim-Hotels-Mistral-Holidays.h22181997.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Amritsar Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amritsar-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Amritsar.h2384383.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Jalandhar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jalandhar-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Jalandhar.h905331.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ranthambore Regency](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sawai-Madhopur-Hotels-Hotel-Ranthambore-Regency.h19563489.Hotel-Information) > > [Hard Rock Hotel Goa Calangute](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calangute-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-Goa.h5171850.Hotel-Information) > > [Kenilworth Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Uttorda-Hotels-Kenilworth-Resort-Spa.h881558.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Swarna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amritsar-Hotels-Taj-Swarna.h15935907.Hotel-Information) > > [Whispering Palms Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Candolim-Hotels-Whispering-Palms-Beach-Resort.h2598007.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach and Lake Ayurvedic Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thiruvananthapuram-Hotels-Beach-And-Lake-Ayurvedic-Resort.h1610418.Hotel-Information) > > [The Leaf Munnar Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Devikolam-Hotels-The-Leaf-Munnar-Resort.h20286720.Hotel-Information)
