This was my favourite hotel of the 6 sets of accommodation we stayed in on our India trip. Including the Leela in Kovalam. It was better than I expected and nicer than its website pictures describe. It is a little out of the way but has a fantastic beach and my personal favourite - hammocks strung between palm trees offering... more

We traveled with a two year old and found the whole experience excellent. Even during the off season (rainy season) the kitchen was fully staffed and provided us with e great variety of great dishes. The quality of the foor and service was superb. The accomodation was great and we cannot think of anything that was not well maintained and... more

I stayed at Marari Beach in 2002 and wanted to come back. 7 years later (and a triple increase in room rates!), I went back and loved it again. The staff, the services, the location (away from chaotic roads), the beach - I look forward to returning to Marari Beach. more

I've been to Marari twice (2006 and 2007) and I would go again... and again. It is not a resort for the active but if you want to relax it's heaven. The resort is so spacious and tranquil. It's very romantic, I got engaged at sunset on the beach. The main pool is fabulous, especially at night. I don't think... more

We went for a personal special event for only 1 night. When we arrived our room wasn't ready so we toured the grounds and relaxed in the hamocks with a cold breverage. The place was so beautiful with white sandy beaches and not crowded. The staff were all very nice and they made special arrangements to make our stay more... more

We loved our stay at the Marari. We went with our 2 little kids (6 months and 2 yrs old) -- don't believe the reviews saying it's no good for kids. It was perfect. We booked a pool villa, which was beautiful. We could put the kids to bed and enjoy our private pool -- and when they were up,... more

It is hard to imagine an international standard beach resort being developed as sympathetically as Marari. Here you have an idyllic, clean, white sand, palm-fringed beach on the Arabian Sea with not a building in sight; hammocks hanging from the coconut trees; a nice pool; good food and drink; clean, comfortable, air-conditioned villas; helpful, friendly staff; no crowds, no rush;... more
