    HI, I had been to the The Gateway Hotel during late September 2015 and I was pleased that my choice of a holiday resort was excellent. The hotel is located in an idyllic location and during my entire stay over there, my family and I were well taken care off. The staff are extremely hospitable, they are like angels in disguise. And this place is very much child friendly. I did not have any issue with the food, given the fact that my 3 year old daughter is a very fussy eater who demands variety i ...more

    in terms of hospitality which I had expected to be world class it was the poorest. u arrive early and they just tell u tat u will get a room only after u pay for half day expense in advance. forget a welcome drink..looks like they regard it a crime. phheewww tats seriously sad. Moving forward you open an empty refrigerator was an absolute delight..not even extra water. Fine empty refrigerator did disappoint but missing tea bags was even more irritating.Then the spa..it was the worst spa I have ...more

    They were kind enough to allow early check in, and late check-out. Taj hospitality is impressive as usual. The campus feels very cozy, and doesn't reflect any of the 'starry attitude's usually associated with your flashy Hilton's and the Hyatt's . It's a perfect example of understated luxury. Only thing which they could improve on, is the quality of food. The Thai Green curry we ordered was below par...not even close to say what is served at Noodle Bar etc. Plus the breakfast menu could be relooked at.

    It's a great place to stay for a leisurely break. Lot of ameneties - badminton/tennis/bicycles/TT/carrom/swimming pool etc. Also, pretty good landscaping inside. Rooms are amazing - pretty luxurious and have modern fixtures. bathrooms are really big and you get private balcony too. There was a kathakalli performance as well in the evening. We overall enjoyed quite a lot here but its a bit costly, especially restaurant and dine-in services.

    This hotel is overpriced considering the type of rooms and other amenities. Location is good and food is good. Advised not to book room with meals, as the package rates are much higher than what you can get in Ala carte at hotel itself Not very friendly staff as they didn't allow late check out inspite of it being part of my package and rooms were available. No provision of buffet dinner or lunch however hotel charged more than 6K per day for meals which doesn't cost more than 3/4 K. Ambience w ...more

    Overall a great stay considering limited options in Varkala, with good proximity to the beach and other key tourist attractions. While the breakfast was good, the restaurant can improve on food quality in lunch/dinner options, where even the basic dishes were not as per regular recipes/matching taste standards.

      Felt the tajness for real !! The hotel staff was very kind and responsive !!special mention Sharat (receptionist) !! We had a stay for 3 days !! On our arrival we had a great and lovely welcome ! We went there for our son's bday !! It was a memorable one ! The best part was we weren't said NO to anything we asked !! We even bought Maggi from outside and requested them to cook it for us @midnight 12 ! They happily did it with added vegetables and spices !! I would give this hotel 9 on 10 stars !! The view from the lobby , rooms , and pool was just fantastic!! I would surely recommend this Hotel if someone wants to travel to varkal

      Beautiful resort. Loved the stay. The management goes out of the way to please us. This is the 3rd stay in this resort. We missed our bag here and proceeded to the next destination of Kovalam Beach and the General Manager Kariappa took extra efforts to hand it over to us on time. Hospitality of Taj can never be debated upon. Always the Best. Highly recommend.

      Beautiful hotel at very proximate to the Beach. Staff was very good and hospitable. one thing I would like to suggest that water bottle should not be charged more than MRP. MRP Was 20₹ but they were charging it above MRP which is not legal.
