My girlfriend and I visited India earlier this year, where we spent eight days out of the fortnight staying at the Marine Palace after an initial six days in Kolkata for a wedding. Amazing location, food, relaxation, views and service but overall the headline was this: the owner Bhasker treats his guests like friends and goes beyond the call of... More

I was there for almost 2 weeks, stuff is friendly and really helpful, also from distance. We had a very nice time there, enjoying the best room, all carved wood and great atmosphere. We thought to stay there only a couple of days and we ended staying 2 weeks and don't want to leave. Take a lucky chance and visit... More

Stayed here for a week in Oct 11, with 3 nights in a standard double and then 4 nights in a cottage suite. Throughout the time, the staff were always courteous and willing to help when they could. This was especially true for Vishnu, who was able to organise taxis and rickshaws, and give advice on all things Indian. Vishnu... More

We made the decision to book only the first 3 nights of of our two week holiday in advance but after 2 days of feeling incredibly welcome and becoming increasingly relaxed, we decided to stay another 4 nights. Vishnu was amazing, such a welcoming and accommodating host, he organised our collection from the airport and then organised a driver and... More

We stayed her in March 2011 with our then 8 year old daughter. We rang the hotel the day before as we were travelling without any real plans. They gave us a room near the restaurant for the first 5 - 6 days which was basic but perfect for what we needed then the owner upgraded us to a lovely... More

We stayed in Varkala Marine Palace for 9 nights at the end of February / early March. For us, the location of the hotel was perfect: between the south cliff and the north cliff, right on the beach. The room was very atmospheric and though there was no AC, the temperature by the end of February was still cool enough... More

On advise of one of my office mates, we asked our agent to book Varkala Marine Place for 3 days in Varkala ( last stay after kochi,munnar and thekkady). It is perhaps situated at best possible location in Varkala, between the south and... More

We stayed at the Varkala Marine Palace for three nights at the end of our trip to Kerala. Originally I was torn between staying on the north or south cliff and then stumbled upon this place on Trip Advisor stating it was on the only accommodation actually on the beach. It is exactly that and exactly what we were after.... More
