Wonderful Staff, great location, excellent Restaurant Passion Fruit, with a simple Indian menu serving fresh organic food.

Great staff, very friendly and so close to the beach. Well priced. The restaurant had a small menu but tasty indian food. Would definitely stay again.

Very clean,affordable and friendly owner. Close to the beach. Stayed here for 2 nights before going to the Northern part of Varkala Beach. Good atmosphere. Ayurvedic treatment also available. Doctor is available in the premises itself. The owner is very friendly and takes good care of you

We visited in October 2011 and our experience has been extremely good. Mr Shibu has been an excellent host. Very safe and comfortable stay indeed. We stayed for 1 day and felt we should have extended it by another day at least.
