    It's closeness to beach and it's natural surrounding. One can hear the sound of sea even in rooms.

    This resort was like a little paradise. Great and comfortable place to relax and enough privacy in good location. People were always very friendly, kind and helpful. Food was amazing. I extended my stay and I would definitely come again.

    We loved our short stay at Maadathil - it was in the perfect location, close enough to the action to walk, but far enough away that it was calm and relaxing, and right on the seafront. The room was large and comfortable and the grounds were immaculate and well cared for. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again on a future trip to Varkala or to recommend to friends. Thank you for everything!

    The location of the property is amazing. Beach is 100m walk. The beach is clean and the cliff is very close. Staff is very polite and helpful. Abhijeet helped us to rent scooty as well as he arranged booking for kayaking. Place is very quite all you can hear is the ocean. If I ever visit varkala again I will stay at Madathil only.

    Finding it was slightly difficult- until Maadathil sent someone by motorcycle to guide us to paradise.

    Large comfortable private bungalows right on a quiet section of the beach. Staff all welcoming and helpful. Restaurant prepared delicious food. Hope to return for an extended stay!

    The tuk-tuk rides and transportation organised by the hotel are way overpriced compared to what non-tourists would pay.

    Lovely room with a huge and comfortable bed with a great view. Directly in front of a beautiful, clean, and relatively quiet beach. The WhatsApp system of communicating with the staff is very convenient and I wish other hotels used this system!

    Superb location in a more secluded beach only 20 mins walk from the busier North Cliff of Varkala Beach. We loved the hammock and deck chairs between the palm trees , easy access to the beach and the cottage rooms with balconies, the rooms are big and stylish, you will feel like home! Staff very attentive and striving to make customers happy. ABundant breakfast options and good restaurant food. Perfect for couples!

    The property insisted on having a 50% deposit in advance. This was very difficult to do from a UK bank account.

    Lovely quiet location close to the beach. Nice clean large room. We had an excellent transfer with Ansar arranged by the hotel.
