I first discovered the Sea Splendour in 2003. I was trying to get away from the crowds and noise up on the cliff. Haksar and his wife created a such a friendly atmosphere, I felt right at home. A stay of a couple days turned into more than two weeks. I returned again in 2009 and stayed for over a... More

This is a good value hotel (I paid rs.250 for a small single room on the ground floor with attached bathroom) only a couple of minutes walk from Odayam beach, the less crowded beach in Varkala. Rooms are basic but very clean and comfortable. There's a little shop on the premises which is very convenient for water and snacks, and... More

The Sea Splendour is a great place with a very homey and friendly atmosphere. Rooms are basic but clean, with good beds and nice sheets. The small restaurant serves up some really good food and one of Haksar's (the owner) many qualities is definitely cooking. Location is good, The walking distance to the beach is 2 minutes and you can... More

This hotel and restaurant is small, cosy and well situated for the price. Rooms are basic but comfortable and good value and the owners are friendly and welcoming. There's a well-stocked shop at the front and a good restaurant at the back, which because it's part of the hotel, is clean and serves better food than some of the other... More

Haksar, the owner, worked from early morning to late night to fulfill every wish we had and made us feel really comfortable, safe and at home. Haksar has... More

We (a family of four) stayed at the Sea Splendour for about 3 months, in the beginning of 2011. It was a wonderful stay! The rooms are basic, but nice, surrounded by a beautiful garden near the ocean. Haksar is the most perfect landlord, preparing fine meals in the small garden kitchen and helping you out with all the things... More

We (two adults and two kids) went to Varkala in the end of January 2011 and stayed in Odayam for 9 weeks. Seven weeks we stayed at Sea Splendour and had a great family experience. Haksar that runs and owns this hotel is very friendly and gives great service. He could ask us if we would like to dine in... More

I have traveled to Varkala four times in recent years. On my first visit in 2006, I stayed at Sea Splendour on the recommendation of a good friend who later advised me not to stay at this hotel. The owner of the hotel had recently had a stroke and turned over management of the hotel to his son, Haksar. My... More

Just got back from Kerala and staying at Sea Splendour was one of the highlights of my time there. It's basic and cheaper than a lot of the other places nearby- most of which are in the Ayurveda-style retreat bracket. I think we paid about 500 rupees for a double room. The owner picked us up from the station and... More
