wonderful holiday everything and everyone was first class...
Kerala is a stunning holiday destination. The landscape is rich and varied – peppered with mountains and valleys, dotted with beautiful blue lagoons and copious rivers. The Gateway Hotel is your entry point to all that Kerala has to offer. Situated in the peaceful village of Varkala – just a little way from the busier Thiruvananthapuram district – it is a charming and convenient spot for getting to know Kerala.
Location isn't quite everything. Inside the Gateway Hotel is a wonderfully welcoming place, beautifully presented and boasting lots of excellent amenities. The pristine white walls and contemporary styling make it look every inch the four star facility.
The beautiful outdoor pool is one of its highlights. With its sweeping contours and clear blue water, it's just about impossible to resist a dip. And you can sit back and enjoy it even more at the rather wonderful sunken bar.
From its elevated position, the Gateway Hotel affords stunning views out over the beach and the sea. The hotel does offer sea view rooms at a supplement – do ask for details if you're interested. Or you may prefer one of the equally gorgeous garden view rooms. They're all en suite and come with satellite TV, telephone, minibar, and drinks making facilities.
The full board package at the Gateway Hotel includes all meals, as well as one complimentary soft drink and fruit juice per day at the poolside. You may well be tempted to spend a lot of your time in and by the pool, but don't forget the hotel's excellent sports facilities for tennis, volleyball and badminton.
We'd also recommend spending some time in Varkala. It's a fascinating place, with its ancient temples and a rich history waiting to be uncovered. All that – plus a fantastic beach. Getting there by a bike is a good idea and you can borrow them (at no charge) from the hotel.
The Gateway restaurant and Ayurveda massage centre complete the picture – and provide the last essential ingredients for a holiday that will relax and invigorate.

We stayed at the Gateway for 6 weeks and loved every minute. The hotel is peaceful and has all the facilities we require. The yoga in the morning was particularly appreciated as were the tennis courts and the freshwater pool. The food was varied and delicious and the service excellent. The hotel grounds are beautifully kept and the room were cleaned to a very high standard. Everything about our holiday was excellent.

Gonia at your office was very good when I had to get an emergency visa. Rajask in Kerala was also excellent.

Fantastic hotels & itinerary, staff extremely helpful. We have always found your mini tours (in this case Mini Tour of Kerala) are a really good way of seeing the main sights. The 'backwaters' was a great experience but it was nice to see the superb hotel that we had afterwards. The Gateway Hotel was excellent in every way. Please pass on our compliments to all the staff.

We love everything about this little gem of a hotel. Our ground floor room with its little garden was just a few steps away from the pool and restaurant. The rooms are cleaned to a high standard and are most comfortable. The food in the restaurant is freshly cooked to order, with an extensive menu and any special requests are always catered for. The waiters are friendly and efficient and provide helpful advice on the dishes available. The beautiful pool is always clean and sun loungers and clean towels are always provided promptly. The Ayurvedic Spa is very good and well worth a visit. The grounds of the hotel are well maintained.
