Travel Date: 19/02/24 - From checking to checkout treatment was excellent. The stay was very good.. I recommend for people who are sea lover and cliff lover.. Sunview Beach Resort(SBR) is located top of a cliff connected to Sea.. Cliff walk(15 to 20 mind walk) is also connected that makes SBR superb place to stay. Black sand Sea 5 mind walk and Varkala beach 10mins walk from SBR (Walk and view sea view along) with lots of shopping shops attached to cliff. I bet people will feel they are not in India. We were celebrating my son birthday, Urmila property manager was very helpful. With minimum charges she decor the rooms and brought cake. along with staff we celebrated birthday. Memories created for lifetime.. Thanks to Urmila and staffs.. (all were very helpful).. Pool was under construction when we had visit, but as a sea lover it was not disadvantage for us. Overall it was pleasant stay.. We will remember for our lifetime.. Memories created for lifetime.. Thanks to Urmila maam and staffs.. (all were very helpful)..…

They did not know that i had a booking when i arrive and there was nobody in the reception for 15 minutes. Telephone was not working. Ac was not working properly. Staffs were completely unprofessional. Not responding when i was talking to them. We arrived for breakfast at 9 50 am and there were no plates cups and half of the food was finished and not prepared on time. We waited until 10 15 to get food. Toasted bread smelled like omelette. Boiled egg was never refilled. I made complain to front office and they did not even asked about the complaint during check out. And did not ask how was my stay

I had an awful experience at this hotel. The staff was rude, amenities were dysfunctional, and it was an overall disaster. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. No electricity. No pool, Construction through out. Rude behavior from Mangment and staff. Worst ever experince in Kerala

The hotel is a building site with h huge new building being built right next to the pool which meant that sawdust and other building dust was going into the pool water. The noise from the building works also meant that it was difficult to relax. Some of the sanding and varnishing of wood was being carried out right next to the restaurant and put us off eating there. There was scaffolding and building works taking place above the restaurant. Some rooms that fellow travellers were in had unsafe electrics including switches inside showers - this is being updated but these rooms should not be being let out. When renovations are finished the hotel may be improved but the new building is going to block some of the rooms that would have had a sea view will be looking at the side of the new block which is a shame. …

Irrespective of previous reviews (Pre Sept-23), if you have booked a stay at this hotel, even for one night, my recommendation is cancel it immediately. The hotel is currently building a large building right next to the pool. Noisy power tools all day long. Beautiful see view from most other rooms not completely blocked. The existing rooms are horrible (my Aircon did not wor...you'll need it); the wash basin was a trickle of water; electric socket actually in the shower; electric fittings hanging off the wall; no fridge; no tea/coffee; the door lock was brocken so the hotel screwed a bolt on the front (it took 20 seconds of phyical effort to wrestle a tight fitting latch every time I locked the room. What a nightmare. Fawlty Towers is an understatement. As a holiday group of 13 people we will be seeking redress from the tour operator we used for the holiday. This was the final day /final hotel of the tour...what a huge dissappointment.…

First time in my experience it happened I had booked highest category rooms but one of the two they gave was lowest category room, saying they upgraded by room. Only after seeing room, I could make out, when I raised issue, they said they had all higher category rooms full. This is ridiculous, how can they do this for a fully prepaid booking. We asked for dinner in room and to my shock we got stale rice. It was smelling very bad. I had my old parents with us, were given room in different blocks. We had changed 3 rooms in 3 nights. When I asked for refund of difference for giving lower category room, they said contact agency I booked from. When agency contacted them they don't even respond. Never experienced such a pathetic property. Breakfast is cold, cheap quality and has just max 2-3 options. Would give only 1 star to this property and only for location. moreover, they had construction going on so half of the open area show in pics does not exist and view also partially blocked.…

Stayed during last week of Dec22. We booked 2 AC pool view rooms from Goibibo. When we reached the manager told us that one of our room is upgraded to Ellam(highest category room). Ellam rooms are spacious and most of the structure is of wood. Overall hotel is good except for the restaurant part. On day 1 when we reached the hotel, we ordered food that was severed to us almost after 2 hrs. On asking they keep on saying food will be coming in 20min, since one of the cook is on leave. Food was not good and unprepared. There are plenty of restaurants nearby. Provided with towel and toiletries. Pool is clean and good. Another -ve point is they provide housekeeping on if asked for, and same goes for the daily 1L complimentary bottle of water also. View from the Hotel is fascinating and one can spend a long time sitting on the benches watching the sunset. The property seems to be bit congested due to multiple rooms in a short area. Overall a very good stay.…

We walked in and got a top floor room at the main building for Rs 3000. View from the common balcony was excellent. They have few cottages too. Swimming Pool is big and looks nice. They have ample parking. Has an inhouse restaurant but food delivery is very late. The cliff area is at a high level from beach. Though has a nice sea view, we cannot access the beach area. The black beach was engulfed by sea when we stated here. The papanasam beach is 1 km away. Room was good but no lift in this building. TV and AC was working well Overall a nice stay

We had mixed experience here. Some construction work was going on. So we didn’t had that much privacy and not so pleasant stay. Swimming pool was not so well maintained or may be dust because of construction. My family was not comfortable to enjoy in swimming pool since construction workers were around. People here are really good. Abhilash at reception was okay to cancel our online platform bookings and gave good discount and upgraded to best room (Illam). Illam room was spacious and wooden walled. They provided breakfast. Food was okay. Cliff view, beach view from the resort is amazing. I would recommend this resort for sure. Our stay would have been better if construction work was completed or if not there.
