The Oceano Ayurvedic Beach Resort

The Oceano is a wonderful resort, it’s beautiful with fantastic management. We really enjoyed our stay! Ferris was particularly welcoming and helpful, he went above and beyond for us. They are a wonderful hotel with beautiful people. Would highly recommend staying at The Oceano Resort.

Good hotel with friendly staff and nice rooms comfortable feel which make us to think to visit regularly. The sea superb view is more excellent and finds more relaxed peeking at the view. The hotel sets out to be more with continental foods which are more preferred by Europeans and other continents the resort pool which is more enjoying. The hotel is not much for excepatation it's a good resort to stay and with groups friend's.

I got confused with the photos of pool given, its a separate one oceano eco. Rooms were spacious but were with many windows and thin curtain. Bathroom too had a glass wall. Way to the beach was not maintained mostly filled up with organic waste. Dont expect much here. Better to hire a bike and use.

Overlooking the Indian Ocean, this low-key clifftop hotel with landscaped gardens is 14 minutes' walk from Varkala Beach. It's 4 km from both Varkala Sivagiri Railway Station and Sivagiri Yoga Ashram, a pilgrimage site.They have given toasted bread and fruits as a complimentary breakfast

The place is amazing but lack of service makes it but difficult as there is no inhouse restaurant and one has to go 3-4km to eat. Otherwise the staff are very polite and obliging and a nice place away from the crowd to relax!

"Pathetic customer service, on reaching the hotel they informed the booking was not confirmed. We drove 5 hours to reach the place at 8:30 in the night with family. We were NOT shown the courtesy of offering alternate rooms as it was a case of pure mismanagement from the hotels end. I hope no one takes future blooming here. To make matters worse we asked another security at the gate if rooms were available he called the reception enquiringly the same and I overheard they receptionist asking if they were locals or foreigners clearly Indicating the rooms were available however they were showing prefers to foreigners from whom they might be expecting more revenue. Hope nobody has to endure such an experience."

Absolutely wonderful! We accidently ended up here after a weird experience at kr house next door. Staff was very helpful and offered us a room at the eco resort. Amazing seaside view from our balcony and the best room we had in India so far (stylish, comfortable matresses, very good shower). We loved the fresh fruits for breakfast and the pool offered us a good deal of leisure time too. The view from the pool, one of the most inspiring places to do yoga! Absolutely loved it...

Amazing views to watch the Eagles flying over palm trees and the incredible sunsets. The yoga platform is the best one I have ever been to, meditation while listening to the waves crashing. Staff were friendly and rooms were good value.

"The place is quite good. But I was expecting more for the price we paid. The staff is courteous though. There is also a provision to get a two wheeler for rent (mostly scooters) for RS300 per day. The only issue we found out is that there is no electricity back up if the current goes. They have a UPS for their computers from which you can emergency charge your phones if you ask them. But since the power outage was more, we had some difficulties over that matter. They do serve you breakfast as part of the fees you pay and also they can order the food you want for extra. The swimming pool available looks a bit outdated and not properly maintained. Be careful while you swim, the edges are sharp and you might get cuts or bruises because of that. The beach view from the resort is amazing. They have a secret tunnel from which you can enter the sand beach. Over all, had good fun staying there for 2 days. Can recommend."

We had a really terrible time at Oceano and found the staff to be, at best, indifferent. The location is ok and the place itself isn't bad but the attitude of the staff and the quality of the food really was absolutely dreadful. To top it off they over charged us on check out and then held our passports hostage until be paid.
