We only intended to stay here for a couple of night maximum, but we ended up staying for a week! Very comfortable rooms within a stones throw of the beach. Idyllic. The staff were very friendly and hospitable. The value for money was 1st rate - would absolutely recommend.

The beach is very close by so it was nice to just go for a swim with very little walk. The rooms are also very nice and we enjoyed very much and the people so friendly. Very nice food also, good breakfast, with some nice vegetarian options.

The resort is located towards the south cliff…the papanasam beach The restaurant serves delicious and fresh food. Only thing that needs improvement is the rooms. We selected the high end apartment suite..but the interior of the room is very old... More

With huge, comfortable (but not overly luxurious) rooms, a plentiful breakfast that was included, good food otherwise and very friendly management, this was very good value for money and a lovely place to spend a few days. It is right on the water but don't expect a wide beach where you can lay down your towel, kick back and get... More

The rooms are excellent value for money and give you some luxury on your travels. They seem to have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable - lots of towels, your own balcony with a sea view and loungers, and a good mosquito net (you need it!). The location is amazing, right on the water and the food is... More

During my travels through Kerala I stayed three times with Bhasker and Vishnu, the managers, always coming back to the Marine Palace as it truly felt like a home away from home. Super clean rooms with clean towels every day and incense burning on the terrace in the evenings and a garden right at the beach. Very nice, caring and... More

Stayed here for nearly three weeks, relaxing by the beach in Varkala. Babu the owner and his assistant Vishnu have got a happy knack of mixing an Indian feel with western service standards. Pros : - Room. Had a big room with a balcony where I could sit, read, net surf and look at the ocean. Comfortable bed. Space for... More

We felt very comfortable at this place. The owner sent a driver to get us from the airport, everything functioned as we ordered in our mails before arriving. The rooms were very nice, very clean, enough space and a terrace outside. Every day fresh towels, sheets, flowers. The restaurant is excellent just a little long waiting for the fresh fish... More

I've stayed here several times over the last 7 years. It is a great place to stay in Varkala, it is away from all the craziness of the cliff, it's right on the beach, the new cottages are great, it's clean and the owner Babu is wonderful to sit and talk with.. Highly recommended!!
