We loved, loved, loved this place! This is one of the places you don`t want to tell anyone about cause you want it all for yourself. Sunil, the owner, is such a kind person and got really out of his way to make us feel at home. It`s a modern house, solid, comfortable and spotlessly clean. We were never able... More

In December 2011 I arrived at Thottada Beach, some 10km south of Kannur (previously Cannanore), Kerala with the intention of staying for 10 days or so. I ended up staying for 40 days. Contrary to one review Thottada beach is extremely clean and free of the pollution experienced at many other beach resorts in India (Goa and South Kerala, spring... More

We visited Kannur over a long weekend along. We drove down from Bangalore and after a painful 8 hours of driving, we really were hoping that this place be worth the effort. To our surprise it was totally worth it and more. Nested just on the beach, its a clean, well maintained property with a clear view of the sea... More

We had a beautiful time, we enjoyed the lovely beach (just about 100meters) and forest. The people in the neighborhood are really kind, it's lovely to take a walk to... More

Anyway reached around 3PM, had a very warm welcome from Mr. Sunil, who kept hot coffee ready for us. Stayed for 2 nights, very peacefull, although it... More

We had a fantastic stay at the Malabar, it's a little gem in the quiet part of Kannur. The service and food were outstanding. Sunil the owner couldn't do enough for us, always with a smile! Sunil collected us from the railway station on our arrival and took us there on departing. During our stay we were fortunate enough to... More
