InDa Hotel is a three star property on the North Cliff area of Varkala, in Thiruvananthapuram district, south Kerala. It holds a guest score of 4.2 out of 5 from 2140 reviews. The long list of facilities, including a spa, a bar and a restaurant, is the deciding factor: it suits travellers who want everything on hand, and not those who want a simple room only.

Where the property sits
The address is Kurakkani North Cliff Helipad Road, Varkala, a tourism hub in Thiruvananthapuram district, south Kerala. The property is on the coast, by the sea, and lies 2.6 km from the centre of Varkala. The destination is Varkala itself, a coastal town at zero to 45 m above sea level.
Varkala is a red laterite cliff standing straight out of the Arabian Sea, with a temple town and a pilgrimage tank at the bottom of it. It is the only cliff on this coast, and geologically the reason the beach exists. Trains from Thiruvananthapuram and Kollam stop in town, so no car is needed to reach the area.
Who it suits and who it does not
InDa Hotel suits travellers who want a full service base: the spa, restaurant, bar, cafe, yoga, library and shuttle service mean most needs are met without leaving the property. It also suits families, with babysitting and a kitchen, and pet owners, since pets are allowed. It does not suit anyone wanting a bare, quiet room only, because the scale of the facilities shapes the stay.
Planning a stay at InDa Hotel
November to March is the season to aim for. In the wet months, cliff erosion work closes stretches of the path, so plans around the cliff should stay flexible. Papanasam beach below the cliff is a pilgrimage site as well as a swimming beach: dress accordingly. None of the details here change the fact that the property is a three star hotel with a broad facility list.
