Seclude Kerala, Marari Sands

Overall it's a Heaven ✨

Food prices are high...

A truly unique and idyllic beach hotel in Kerala. Especially in the early morning, the peaceful atmosphere of the whole place is so deeply calming and destressing. The delicate fragrance of frangipani in the air adds such an elegant and beautiful touch. We loved the breakfast table, always prepared with so much care and with different lovely decorations each day. Our mornings with yoga and meditation, the nourishing food, the hammocks, and the warm presence of the people made this stay incredibly special. What touched us most was the genuine and authentic friendliness of the staff. They responded to our needs immediately with so much kindness and attention. The bungalow was absolutely charming and easy to fall in love with. We are leaving with a smile in our hearts. Thank you so much, dear hotel team. Namaste. 🙏✨

There are no yoga mats.

This boutique resort accommodates guests in their lovely chalet, right on the beach! We loved waking up in the morning and just taking a few steps before jumping into the warm Indian sea and having the most peaceful swim in its warm waters. If you are an early bird like us, you can experience the added bonus of seeing small fisherman boats coming to shore after a night out fishing. The scene seemed just out of a book written in another era! The staff was wonderful, and so was the cleanliness of the room. If you want to change location for lunch/dinner, there is plenty of choice, right on the shore! Walk for 15/20 mins by the sea and discover other lovely little restaurants. where you can eat with your feet in the sand! We are back in London now, and we still dream of the peace and tranquillity of this oasis on the coast!

The swimming pool area was not as well kept as the rest of the facilities. This might be because the sea definitely is the protagonist in this place, but we appreciate that, should we have been more of a swimming pool person than a sea person, this area could be improved.

Direkte Strandlage, viele Liegen unter Palmen und Sonnenschirmen, gepflegte Gartenanlage, Pool, sauberes und komfortables Zimmer mit Klimaanlage und Ventilator, modernes Duschbad

Geringe Auswahl an Speisen beim Dinner. Vorbuchungen sind erforderlich.

Location was good although the road was very bumpy to the property. Staff were helpful although not always available reception was often not manned.

The property was very tired and not clean the pool area floor was very dirty lots of bird poo and not cleaned. The room was tired looking especially the bathroom. No hangers provided and the porch steps were dirty . Staff were friendly but often multi tasking. I didn’t feel this establishment was value for money paid.

Au bord de mer c’est très agréable.

It has a quaint nature to it . Sea facing resprts Are always better.

A) approach to the property B) amount of crows and the entire fishing community on site, C) very limited breakfast option.

Fantastic food and location! The hotel area and beach was really calm. There were both sunbeams and hammocks. The service was really good. We took a massage from Sudha and she was truly amazing, really recommend her. The only negative thing was that the beds were hard. Once again - the food was incredible! Love to visit again!
