Alaya Stays Still Waters Varkala

Alaya Stays Still Waters Varkala

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay exceeded all of our expectations. Although the property is located a little away from the main area, once you arrive, it feels like you're staying at almost premium resort surrounded by beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. The food was decent and met our expectations. What truly made the experience special was the incredibly talented, warm, and attentive staff. Their hospitality left a lasting impression on us. Overall, the property checked every box we were looking for. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway."
