Why it matters
Why Waterfall Cafe, The Zuri White Sands is worth your time
Waterfall Cafe is useful because it is the opposite of a shack: air-conditioned, level and open for long hours. For older travellers, those with small children or anyone recovering from the heat, that matters more than atmosphere.
It also shows what the resort side of Varca looks like. The Zuri stands in large gardens and caters to guests staying several days, with a mix of Indian and international dishes that suits groups with different tastes.

How to experience it
Use it as a calm reset on a hot or wet day. The café is described as an all-day multi-cuisine restaurant with a buffet and live street-food-style stations, so you can choose your own pace and portions. Go for breakfast if you want the widest spread, or a late lunch to avoid the rush.
Because it sits inside the resort, the setting is polished and the service is formal compared with a shack. Ask at reception whether non-guests are welcome, and what the buffet costs, before taking a taxi. Prices at resorts are higher than in the village, so treat the meal as a treat rather than a daily routine.
After the meal, walk through the gardens to the beach, or rest by the pool if you are a guest. Keep the rest of the day light.
