Fodor's Expert Review Abad Turtle Beach

Varankavala, Pollathai P.O, Mararikulam, Kerala, India

Although not as luxurious as some of its neighbors, this resort combines comfort with serenity. It's got all that you need from a backwaters-beach resort at a great price. Its pretty white bungalows with terra-cotta roofs are set in a lovely 13-acre beachfront property that also has a small lagoon running through, as well as ponds and the shade produced from hundreds of coconut palm. The rooms, each with their own sit-out, are spacious, stylish, and furnished in muted colors. High ceilings, wood trim, and solid-wood furniture give them a substantial feel.
