Our stay at this resort was truly enjoyable. The ambience was spacious and beautiful, nestled within well-maintained grounds. The rooms were comfortable, and we particularly loved the swimming pool, which was perfect for our kids. While the road to the resort was a bit narrow, the overall experience was delightful, especially with the delicious breakfast served every morning. The only downside was that the pool could use more space for lounging comfortably.

Our stay at Deshadan was fantastic! The atmosphere was peaceful, and the kids had a blast at the pool. The staff were really attentive and made us feel welcome. While our rooms were clean and comfortable, they could feel a bit hot during the day, and the A/C took some time to cool them down. Overall, it was a great experience for our family, especially with the delicious food and proximity to the beach.

I had a very pleasant stay at the resort, which is just a short walk from the beach. The rooms were clean and reasonably sized for the price, and the food, especially breakfast, was quite tasty. The swimming pool was a nice touch for relaxing after a day out. The staff was courteous and attentive, making my experience even better. However, the rooms could use some modernization, and while the food was generally good, some items felt a bit average.

My stay at Deshadan in Varkala was truly relaxing and enjoyable. The hotel is conveniently located a short walk from the beautiful beach and cliff area. The rooms, while clean and spacious, lacked a bit of luxury, and the air conditioning took some time to cool down after being out in the heat. On the other hand, the service was outstanding, and the staff went out of their way to make my stay comfortable. Overall, it was a good value for money, especially with the decent breakfast and delightful pool area.
