Our stay at Hindustan Beach Retreat in Varkala was a complete letdown. From start to finish, it was a mess. The people working there weren't helpful at all. The pool was so dirty we couldn't use it, and the beach view they promised was nowhere near as nice as they showed in the pictures. The food was terrible - some of it was even uncooked! They kept running out of stuff, and when they did have it, it took forever to get served. Housekeeping didn't care about our requests. We asked for bandages, and they said they'd bring them, but they never did. We had to go looking for them ourselves. The reception was a joke. There was hardly ever anyone there, so if you needed something, tough luck. And to top it off, they charged us way too much for simple things like a can of soft drink but they did not even compensate for the unavailable amenities we were promised and were included in the room charges. Overall, it was a disaster. We paid good money for 4 rooms with good view, which was supposed to be a great stay, but it turned out to be a total waste. Don't make the same mistake we did - steer clear of Hindustan Beach Retreat.

Very nice room, manager saji and staff lip u all are nicely welcome good treat, lovely so much hotel staying, every time any ask arrangement proper so nice, staff libu very good person. Only one improvement for road frontside big board for hotel name.

The location is good and the hotel is just fine. Need some renovation around the path leading to beach. ***y opt for this location for ease of access to beaches, if that is not maintained it will lead to disappointment. The SPA is not per the expectation and the maintenance of the spa is very bad. Food is above average. The buffet breakfast is fine but lacks variety for those staying longer. Overall it was a good experience. The attender at the pool Mr. Babu is very good, he should be awarded for his fine service. Overall the hotel staff are polite and well ***nered and hear to our concerns.

I have just returned from my 2nd visit to Amara Ayurveda Retreat and I can only say it just keeps getting better. We were collected at Trivandrum Airport by the Resort's driver and arrived at Amara just 20 minutes later. We stayed in Amara 4 years ago before Covid and it was lovely to see the gardens matured and everything looking so beautiful. We had a consultation with the Ayurvedic doctor the following morning and he prescribed a series of treatments for the next 2 weeks. It was a lovely surprise to see that Sunita (our therapist) was still working in the Ayurvedic Centre. My first treatment was a general body massage and I have to say it was the best massage of my life, Sunita is truly gifted and very nurturing. I had my treatment at 11am each morning and that left the day free to sight see, lounge by the pool or pop down to Kovalam Beach which was only 10 minutes drove away. Amara is so peaceful, nestled in the hills of Kovalam, the only sounds are those of nature. It was so relaxing to sit on our balcony (of our very large room) and watch the giant size butterflies and birds around the gardens. The selection of dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner was excellent. We really enjoyed sampling all the local dishes, each one delicious and served by ever smiling staff that could not do enough for us. We will definitely not be leaving our return visit as long the next time! We arrived at Amara with aches and pains and left very relaxed, with supple limbs. Thank you to all at Amara. We hope to see you again next year for more of your unique TLC.

the rooms are well furnished neat, the hospitality was good, excellant and courteous staff. food was good and tasty.i had reached the venue a bit late at night after a long journey from calicut , around 10pm. But inspite of that they provided a good dinner. 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠 𝗗𝗜𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗔, 𝗧𝗩𝗠🙏🏻

Its a nice quiet secure place perfectly placed at a walking distance to kms hospital if you are going there for visa medicals. Friendly, cooperative staff, kept my luggage safe leaven after my check out, while i was at hospital. Another highlight is - lulu mall is close by.

We've booked the room at 5. 30pm and we reached there at 9, but their checkout time was tomorrow 11am. And they didn't agree to extend my timing. But the room was clean and the surroundings were so calm and silent!

Loved the stay. The balcony was neat, clean, proper sunlight and shed, and view. Bathroom was sanitised, proper soap clean towels bedsheets were provided. Extra bed also was provided with bed and not just a mattress, toilet paper rolls too. Everything was good. A must try stay option.
