“The hotel positions itself as a wellness retreat near Varkala Beach, with yoga and spa services offered, along with an outdoor pool. While it aims for a serene experience close to local attractions, the absence of on-site dining might be a consideration for some travelers. In my opinion, its strength lies in the potential for relaxation and exploration of the surrounding area.”
