The place had a very beautiful view with infinite pool. The separate access to beach was my personal favourite. Their staffs Dikshith and Rakesh were so warm from booking the place to checking out from the place. The breakfast was served so hot with yum appam. The room was so good and spacious for us with two kids as a family. On the whole we loved staying here and definitely coming here again. Please be warm like this & forever ❤️🤍

“Must stay at least once”
This is one of the most sought after stays in and around Southern Cliff, given the access to the beach, nearby cafes, paramotoring spot and away from the hustle of North cliff. Yes and it's worth staying at, the lovely views, aesthetic and setup, takes you somewhere else. The rooms were great, the pool is the highlight however it's pretty deep, shallow end is 4.5ft. The property itself has lot of photo spots and you can't get enough of it. The Becah access is accessible via a staircase of around 50 steps.

“Best place in overall varkala specially in south cliff .. must stay”
Had an amazing stay at Cliff Stories! It’s truly a great place with a beautiful view and an incredible property right beside the beach. The ambience is peaceful and perfect for relaxing while enjoying the ocean vibes. The pool is unique and about 5.8 inches deep, which makes it perfect for taking great photos and enjoying the aesthetic of the property. The whole place has a very stylish and scenic feel. Another highlight was the amazing breakfast, which made the mornings even better. Overall, it’s a wonderful property for anyone looking for great views, beautiful surroundings, and a memorable stay near the beach in South Cliff. Highly recommended!

“The stay was wonderful! We stayed here for 3 nights.”
The stay was wonderful! We stayed here for 3 nights, and the staff was very nice and helpful. They suggested some great places to visit and also helped us arrange a rented vehicle. Special thanks to Jeffrey—he was extremely helpful with everything. The view was amazing; we had access to a completely private beach and an infinity pool. Everything was perfect—we enjoyed every moment. The food was also delicious.
