Chill and relaxing resort with a lot of heart ❤️
Pros:

Closeness to nice cafes and restaurants, very close to the beach.

Very well maintained! The absolute best thing about First place is the excellent staff. So friendly and service minded.

The breakfast was always so delicious.

If you want to do yoga there is yoga class every morning at 8 am which was a great way to start the day.

I would recommend First place to anyone who wants a chill and relax stay in the surroundings of Varkala.
