B'Canti Boutique Beach Resort

Small hotel in a great location. All of the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We used the taxi service they provided and had a fantastic trip from the airport to the hotel, the driver Baiju showed us the back roads and the markets as they were coming alive early in the morning - we took his contact number and he also collected family to go to other hotels - very, very good prices, particularly when you are converting into pounds! It is an easy taxi or auto rickshaw ride in Varkala - there are shops and restaurants here and it is very lively at night. The hotel restaurant is great, the food is amazing and the staff are incredible - they took our orders a few times from the balcony so that we didn't have to wait for food and drink !! We used the ashram for yoga and massages - good prices and incredible service. Yoga on the rooftop as the sun is rising is an experience you must try - it set me up for the rest of the day. I had never tried yoga before so Ramesh took it easy on me! The beach is a few minutes flat walk to a slight path down, secluded, never more than 10 people there at a time. We will definitely be going back - soon I hope!

A simple comfortable hotel with great service from the management team. I'd left some chocolates behind and travelled on to Kovalam. They were kind enough to have these couriered over to our next hotel. Anil who does the Yoga was just brilliant. The Yoga is done in another building on the roof top. The sea views are fabulous, and at night, the sound of the waves breaking on the shore is wonderful. Breakfast service was a bit erratic, and the manager at breakfast needs to remember what guests have requested and deliver them together in a timely manner. No point in providing my sunny side up eggs without the toast that I'd asked for so both can be eaten together whilst warm. Harish was also outstanding checking on guests and making sure their needs were met.

Excellent place to stay with family. The resort is in edava and NOT in varkala cliff. Advantages are no crowd and peaceful place. The beauty is the property has their own back side which makes a mini private cliff. Easy beach access too. Only one restaurant, food is tasty too. Rooms andthe area are very clean and well maintained.

Recently we want for a weekend to Varkala. We have been going to Varkala for weekend getaways for the past 5 years… unfortunately we never knew of this beautiful place before-BCanti Beach Resort. It is a very beautifully laid out property next to the beach. We stayed in their highest category room with the best view of the ocean. The cleanliness and comfort was exceptional beyond doubt, but what stands out even more is their food. They have an amazing team of chefs who dish out such authentic delicacies. Cherry on the top, what is most important for anyone I guess, is their warm hospitality. If you are planning stay at Varkala, just don’t think twice- BCanti is the best there.

If your idea of a vacation includes the words relaxation, awesome food and picturesque views, then this is THE place for you. My family and I spent 3 nights at BCanti. Right from the time I approached the resort to book our accommodation, they have been extremely helpful, quick and forthcoming which made it an easy choice for us to spend our vacation. Location: If you are looking for a seaview resort then your search ends here. Because this hidden gem sits right on the beach, we enjoyed the sea view from the balcony outside our rooms and even from within the room. Not only this, but we were also greeted with peaceful sounds of waves at all hours of the day and night. We saw the most beautiful sunsets of our lives all the three evenings we spent here. Room and Amenities: The room itself is spacious, clean and has every modern amenity required. Since the afternoons were hot, retreating to our air conditioned rooms was heavenly. Immediately upon check in, the resort provides free Wifi with really good connectivity anywhere within the resort. Also, if we needed anything more we could always ask the resort to provide it. There’s even a pool right in the centre of the resort if you’re tired of the sea water. It is quite evident that the management take great care to ensure every aspect of the resort is smoothly run , and that everything is well-maintained and functional. Service: The management and the staff are all equally and extremely helpful, friendly, ever-smiling and open. A special mention to Mr. Harish who arranged our accommodation, arrival and all our requirements, and to Mr. Patrick who ensured we had a perfect stay at the resort. Food: When it comes to food is where the resort truly lives up to its boutique nature. My mother has a severe allergy to chicken and egg, and so we are truly grateful toward the staff, the cooks and the chefs for not letting her feel left out, but ensuring she could join in eating sea food without any fear of mixing of ingredients. We all enjoyed a huge variety of special food ranging from sea food, Kerala special dishes, continental food and mouthwatering desserts, customised to our liking and requirements. While the resort does not provide a full buffet, they prepared whatever we asked them to, exactly the way we wanted. We are especially thankful for the help and service provided by our chef Mr. Ujjwal, who assisted us right from what to order, to the best place to be seated. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals right on the seashore and even glimpsed some dolphins one morning! Ayurveda: Lastly, I cannot end without mentioned the superbly managed Ayurveda centre, where we each had massages. It is very well-organised, with a proper consultation and curated massages according to our needs. It really upped the relaxation vibes of our vacation. Honestly, this was one of our best vacations as a family, and I cannot recommend it enough to everyone. There are a lot of negative reviews about the place, but please give it

Wonderful stay at this boutique property. Service was exemplary right from entry to all our meals. Great yoga offered in the morning and massages were the icing on the cake. Will be back soon.
