It’s a great place for a relaxing stay. Hawaiian style welcome and Private beach are the highlights. There is lifeguard and so you can dread into water. After the beach activity as you enter the property there are showers installed and so you can clean yourself and go to your room. Rooms are like villas built like old traditional houses in kerala, that’s cool. Service, their evening tea and snacks, dinner and breakfast was awesome

The property is very well maintained, immersed in nature and calm.
The staff is very very friendly and helpful, they made our stay super comfortable.
The connection to the beach goes through a little canal and is reachable by canoe. It's very nice around the sunset.
The restaurant food is also very good and offers local cuisine. Super recommended!
The Marari Sands Beach Resort is located in the local fishing village of Mararikulam, surrounded by swaying palms and sandy shores.

Staff was amazing! Especailly Nadeem and Sanju! They helped us get cabs, book backwater kaya, and shikara trips around the area. They were super accomodating for all the needs for our large 12 person party. We could ask them for off the menu food and they would purchase it from the local fish market so we could have all sorts of amazing dishes since we'd tried everything on the menu. They let us buy beer and keep it in the fridge since they don't have a liquor license. The staff is the heart of the operation and will ensure you have a fantastic stay.
The facility itself was located right on the beach with nice hammocks and a pool. Besides the pool, beach, and pool there's not too much to do, so be ready to just relax and read a book or go on local excursions.
With Marari Beach reachable in a few steps, Marari Lotus Beach Villa provides accommodations, a restaurant, a private beach area, an open-air bath, and free bikes.

Excellent place! We came from the North where hotels are nowhere near as nice. These people are so hospital, they make delicious breakfast and dinner, and the room is great. It's just a 30 second walk to the beach too. The dad even got coconuts for us too. Definitely recommended.

This place is amazing! We had the whole place to ourselves, 3 AC, ensuite bedrooms, a living room area, kitchen, amazing balcony, garden and just 2 mins walk from the beach.
There is a small shop a few seconds away for essentials but it's quiet and private and tropical. The host is so kind and helpful and we had all the help and advice we needed. I'd recommend to anyone!!

Very small sleepy village perfect for a remote escape.
Very small sleepy village perfect for a remote escape. Unspoiled beach and nature with friendly inhabitants. A total escape. It is not a tourist spot but a quiet escape.
The remoteness means little amenities like restaurants and shops. Come prepared with some snacks and supplies. A large resort hotel and some smaller ones, along with homestay, but little else for the independent traveller

Great area - a little away from the hustle & bustle of other areas so it is quieter. The beach is beautiful, clean & quiet. Easy to get transport to other areas for more activity - close to backwater tours etc.
Only limitation is perhaps lack of eating out options within walking area, best to have hotel with restaurant otherwise will need to travel by tuk tuk or taxi.

The resort was a little too far away from the beach and the beach had no chairs, shade or umbrellas making it very difficult to stay very long. The surrounding area was not good to stroll around. The massage treatments are a 10 minute tuk tuk ride away and are quite expensive for India £34. We have been paying £15 previously.

I was at much trouble due to the stay at Mararikulam due to booking at Spot On Sb Cruise, Aleppey (There is no such property). So I was to search for another property with the help of some Good Local peoples and by their efforts, I got a place to sleep.

I like very much all areas of Mararikulam, I think it is cleaner than other places. The beach is amazing and magical, people are very kind. it is a paradise on earth, unfortunately, my resort needs some restoration, especially rooms, and the swimming pool. Nature is really enchanting
I was in Seclude Marari sand resort, potentially the best part of the beach but the resort needs some work. It is quite expensive for the services it offers

Every day was special, a smile from our lovely housekeeper, restaurant staff went out of their way to keep our tea cups filled with a huge smile. Second holiday at Marari and looking forward to the next one. Lovely big room, nothing a problem. Thanks Marari
The room was large, clean, with storage cupboards and drawers, located in a very quiet location, away from the main road and a short walk to a beautiful and empty beach. Get to the beach early in the morning and you can buy fresh fish from local fishermen. Mary was very friendly and welcoming. In addition to the inclusive breakfast, the dinner we requested one night was excellent and plentiful. Communication with Joseph from booking to checkout was smooth and helpful. Really enjoyed our stay at Marari Lois Homestay.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming property with a truly delightful atmosphere. The best things is the Marari beach which is like 10 minutes away from the stay.The experience was elevated by the warm hospitality of an amazing host who not only ensured a comfortable stay but also surprised me with their culinary skills. The delicious breakfast added an extra layer of enjoyment to the already pleasant and beautiful surroundings. Highly recommended for a memorable getaway!
We LOVED this homestay. It was in a gorgeous location just a 1 min walk from a stunning quiet beach. If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of Allappey, relax and go for a swim then this is the place to be. The WiFi was top notch and we could even log into our netflix account on the TV. The staff were incredibly helpful and they provided the most delicious evening meal and breakfast. We just loved it here and I can't recommend it enough.
This homestay has the most perfect location, right on the beach overlooking the fishermen at work and the beautiful sea. We sat on the balcony every morning to have a delicious and plentiful breakfast with a choice of Indian food or toast and omelette. Fresh fruit was served alongside whatever breakfast we chose. Our host Jiji was very attentive and helpful. He booked activities for us and organised tuk tuks when we needed them.
It is a family owned accommodation. Amazing spot! The beach is just out the door. Food options were delicious. Seafood experts!
The beach is clean and the ocean is soo warm! There are sunbeds and hammocks.
The room was spacious and the AC was perfectly working for a good night's sleep.
They even take the time to set up the restaurant a few meters off the ocean to watch sunset and enjoy the waves.
Thank you!
Very close to the beach, quiet area and lots of green around. The host was very kind and offered some fresh papaya when I arrived, when I mentioned I had to do some video calls he arranged some delicious food would be available for after I finished (for a reasonable price). I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for an affordable stay in a beautiful area and near the beach 🙂
The food was really good.
The behaviour of the staff was good.
The rooms were clean.
There was an outdoor seating space which was really good.
Even though the rooms are built in a heritage way, the bathroom is modern.
Chethy beach and marari beach are nearby. The former one is quiet and calm while the latter is crowded with nearby shops. This gives me a choice.
Overall I enjoyed the stay.

Pradeep and his family were extremely friendly and hospitable and made us feel comfortable quickly. They cooked good dinner veg kerala style for us and setup a beach umbrella for us everyday. The room is functional with a good size and cooling AC. The beach is approx 100 m walk. Best for an uncomplicated simple beach holiday with friendly local family homestay flavour.
Beautiful, big and very well maintained garden. Direct access to the large Marari beach with a private part for the hotel. Interesting contacts with friendly fishermen and their families. Very nice pool. Good restaurant. Very friendly staff, especially Binu from the reception.
Nice homestay located just a few steps to the beach. Rooms are spacious and clean. Owners are very helpfull and polite. The food they serve is delicious if you order additionaly. Marari beach I think is the best in Kerala. 100% recommend.
Such a nice place to be in Mararikulam! Rooms were spacious and clean, the owners very friendly and helpful. They arranged a boat trip or a very nice ajurvedic massage for us. Also meals were delicious and the portions very generous!
The best bit about the stay is its location and food. Very close to the fabulous mararikulam fisherman beach this stay is a gem.
Rani chechi also stole the show with her amazing cooking skills.
I highly recommend this stay.
The house is 1 minure from the most beautiful Marari beach. It's lovely and quiet with a beautiful garden. And Bincy is really nice and friendly and a great cook!
Very good atmosphere and I will be back!
Everything!!! Our hosts are perfect and their home made food is excellent. Would really recommend the homestay for anyone who would like to enjoy the calm vibe of Marari beach.
Mary was the sweetest host, cooked excellent food, and the rooms were clean and in great order. Overall, great value for money. The beach is just a short walk away.
Room was clean, hot water and working AC. Hotel territory good for quiet relaxation. near beach, beach clean. Breakfast good and plentiful. Hosts are helpful
