Do you know where this hotel is?

I recently saw a phot of a hotel or guesthouse on the top of a cliff. It was recommended and the comment said that it has beaches on both sides. I think it was in Cochin , maybe Fort Cochin.
This is my first post and I would like to say thank you for all of the info I have read so far.

The Terekhol fort resort in Goa is situated on a cliff, it has beaches and the Terekhol river flowing on one side of it meets the sea here.

Cochin is at (or below) sea level. No cliffs there!

I think it may have been a more modest hotel,

perhaps in the budget range

There is one place i know like this.

There is this hotel / resort called Great Outdoor in Kumargad island off Karwar coast. It has beach on all sides, and is infact a small hillock.

Devbagh beach resort in Karwar is also on a island, and is a great place to be in.

Great outdoors property is a mountaineous rocky small island, very close the main land, is infact in a estuary. It has rooms / cottages on the sides of the hillock, with a beautiful view of the beach. U will enjoy this place.

Could it be the Rockholm hotel in Kovalam?

However, although the Rockholm is raised from the beach, I wouldn't say it's on a cliff.

Wow, thats really something. A somewhat vague description of a resort and so many replies I really am impressed IMers.
Anyways wanted to see pictures of the place, and yes! it looks awesome. Seems the name might be spelt differently though. (Tiracol)
This is what I got:

Definately a place to visit kerrypie, but beware the Indian summer..the resort does not have a/c rooms.
