Rooms were great and accessible to the ocean and black beach. Wonderful access to black beach for early swim and walk on beach away from the main crowds. Really lovely watching the fishermen there and nice coffee on the beach after.

“Locally owned surf stay done right!”

Booked this place without really knowing what to expect, and our stay completely exceeded expectations. What truly makes it stand out are the people - they are incredibly welcoming, passionate, and genuinely create a home-from-home atmosphere. You instantly feel like part of the community. Hamza couldn’t have been more helpful and is a real asset to the place!! Vinu is one of the oldest surfers in the area and renovated the place by hand, which really shows in the character and care put into it. This is a truly locally owned and locally run place … it’s not just about community, it’s part of the community. When you’re out surfing, you really feel that too, with such a positive, friendly vibe in the water and great relationships with the other local surf schools. We’ve been to a few surf schools, and this one really stands out for how closely they want to collaborate with other local people to help develop surfing in Varkala in a genuinely inclusive, collaborative way. The rooms were super comfy, breakfast and coffee were delicious every morning, and the location is fantastic, with views of the sea from the property. We took part in the lessons, which were great fun. The snack and chai stops were a lovely added bonus and really helped create a relaxed, social vibe among everyone taking part. While we were there to surf, Pointbreak is also a great base for exploring Varkala. Highly recommended and we will be back !

“Good value property with a nice outlook and easy beach access. Great staff.”

The staff were so helpful and accommodating. The food was tasty and the views were beautiful.

We stayed at Point Break just for 1 night, but had a really great stay. It is super close to the beach, and not far from restaurants/shops. Best part by far was the surf lesson, the instructors were very clear and attentive, and we just had so much fun! Would really recommend :)

always wonderful to come back! Such a beautiful location, kind staff and beautiful rooms

“Great stay, will definitely come back here if I am ever in Varkala”

Excellent location, right next to Black Beach and an easy walk from North Cliff. The staff were very friendly, and the surfing lessons were well taught and enjoyable.

“Varkala - The Break and the Continuity”

The aquaguard at the central area. The two-sided room with two doors and twin views. The breakfast area. Anisha and her cheerful disposition and the everyday variation in breakfast. The unexpected passion fruit drink. So many things to cherish. Even the bridle path to the beach. The surf class will remain as an unexpected tick on my bucket list

“Great small hostel”

Incredibly friendly staff Great breakfast every morning with loads of fresh fruit Great location that is a bit set back from all the restaurants but easily walkable and means is quieter Hot water worked well Would recommend staying here

Very nice location close to the beach. Clean and comfortable.

“Great place to be based in Varkala.”

Chi Chi who made breakfast everyday was amazing. Her breakfasts were a highlight of staying here. The location was great as were the beds, very comfortable. The place was very clean and one of the best views.

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

Clean beaches and good eating outlets by the sea front.

it is literally in front of the beach and the stay was pretty clean and neat they also have a nice home cooked breakfast in the morning which is what you need after a morning swim

“Okay okay!”

Need to improve in bed sheets, pillow covers and towels freshness! Felt like used ones.

“A disappointing stay with the wrong room, poor maintenance, and painful tick bites from stray dogs.””

The location is calm and quiet.

“Great place for a relaxed holiday near the beach!”

Great location, bed was comfortable, breakfasts were delicious! And it’s walking distance to the beach and cliff side restaurants. Manoj looked after us well!

The location

The room was clean, nicely decorated and had a reasonable size. And the hotel was good located, a bit separated from the other hotels of the area.

Super peaceful, great location and the property itself was so beautiful

nothing
