I had booked my Kerala trip fr 7 days via Antilog Vacations and it turned out to be a highly successful one. At my fiancé’s behest we decided to go for an offbeat place and decided against the run of the mill hill stations and beaches. Varkala in southern Kerala particularly intrigued us as it was the only place in... More

This place is a real paradise on earth, seriously! Away from the touristic cliff of Varkala, Palm Tree Heritage is situated right on the ocean's shore, with a little wonderful beach where you can enjoy amazing meals (try the Kerala's style prawns for a candlelight dinner on the beach!). The cook, Bopal, is the man ! A great cook and... More

This is definitely a very good place to relax, probably the best we found in India. The wooden rooms and especially the beautifully craftet veranda is welcoming the exhausted traveller! We initially booked for 2 nights and after meeting really great people and enjoying the relaxation we extended for another night. Unfortunstely we were not able to stay in our... More

Is this among the top 25 hotels in India ... a definite NO. Goes on to say that choosing hotels based on TripAdvisor Reviews alone is not the correct method. It helps - but is not the sole criteria !! Is this place good Value for Money?? I'll vote my YES in favour of that. The experience started with a... More

Yes it has taken a lot of hard work to make this hotel to what is today! But we in the PTH-team will not stop the improvement work and that's why the hotel is under repair to improve during the low season period which is now. You are right, it is human to make a mistake and unfortunately it caused... More

It is definitely the best place we stayed in India! Kerala style cottages right on the small beach are perfectly suitable for relaxed vacation. Rooms a big, bathrooms are huge (I could not help my jaw dropping when I saw it for the first time), each room has a big veranda with traditional carvings (differen in every room). Rooms are... More

Arrived on our first night in India, and WOW what a fantastic place to stay. Spacious rooms have carved wooden furniture and a very very comfortable bed. You cant stay anywhere much cleaner than this, and together with the amazing hospitality from Ragi, Babu, Jackson made our stay a wonderful experience. We only booked for 2 days but would have...

Katie and i arrived rather hot after travelling from Cochin by train. We were initially staying at another guest house near by but they had no power or AC so we were pulled into the Palm by Babu's friendly smile. If you go anywhere in or near Varkala then you MUST go and visit this amaizng place. The atmosphere and... More

We got into Varkala later than intended and had trouble finding the hotel we were supposed to stay at as it was dark. Babu saw us and came out to the taxi and said that he had a very nice room with A/C, and the other place did not (which was true). Initially, I was skeptical, but I was tired... More

Having intended to stay elsewhere, we were swayed by Palm Tree Heritage because of the offer of air conditioning in the rooms. It was the best decision we made all trip. The rooms were lovely (if a little eccentric), each one with a veranda and view of the beautiful little beach which we shared with the local fishermen and their... More
