Located in Mararikulam, within 100 metres of Marari Beach and 2 km of Kattoor Beach, Marari Lotus Beach Villa provides accommodation with a private beach area and free WiFi as well as free private...

This was probably our best stay in India. We arrived to a very clean room with AC. The location was perfect for relaxing on the beach (1 min walk). You can borrow a parasol and beach chairs. The area of the beach had basically no tourists, just a little beach restaurant. The town is full of very friendly people, this includes the hosts of the hotel. They were very friendly, flexible and accommodating. The food at the hotel was excellent and fairly priced. (I would also recommend Fisherman’s Cafe - especially their squid fry starter) Overall 11/10, would specifically go to Alleppey to stay here next time I’m in India.

The property is well located and the roof terrace is absolutely amazing! Raju Joseph was very kind and helpful. He did not only warmly welcome us, but even spontaneously arranged a kayaking tour for us for the same afternoon. Could not recommend this homestay more!

    The hosts are extremely helpful and help you plan your stay by recommending amazing locations which are accessible by amazing government transport modes like jetty. The breakfast provided is very homely and healthy. The area is well connected by waterway and roadway with public transport available till 8pm. They have a cosy swimming pool and the foliage in the property makes the stay even better. The night skies are illuminated with fireflies. :)

    Karripals Inn was cheap, clean, bright and serviceable. The room had everything we needed for a short stay..ample storage space, great water pressure, TV. George, the host, was extremely helpful and welcoming; he went above and beyond to make our stay as pleasant and easy as possible.

    this unique bungalow above water is charming, quiet, close to the paddy fields. Owner and servant are lovely, extremely honest and dedicated. I was asked every morning which fruit should be served from the garden. fish from the pound is grilled. very special place in a small village outside the touristic rush area. equipment , though basic , is sufficient for a peaceful stay.

    Lovely hosts. Nice and quiet location on the river. Lovely place for pure relaxation, birdwatching, reading, walking or just "dolce far niente". We had some really nice food. One of the best home made caramel custards we have had in a long time. :-)

    AUTHENTIC KERALAEAN FARMSTAY! The room situated above the pond gives a cool atmosphere when inside the guesthouse. The owner is super genuine showing me the lifestyle on the farm, offering the fresh fruit which grows on the land, even inviting me to a meal at his own house. My experience at Thomman's Farm stay was incredible and I can't recommend this place enough if your up for a relaxing time in a traditional Keralean farm.
