The homestay is right on the beach affording you great views from the top floor rooms and balcony. As you look out from the balcony you get to see the vast expanse of the Arabian sea, you see fishermen bringing in their catch, kids playing football on the beach. Marari Praise resorts gives you a ring side seat to a sleepy, authentic fishing hamlet. With clean beaches stretching for miles; accessible just 10 feet from your room, the homestay has a great location.
The rooms are huge and well maintained and cleaned on a regular basis. The Air-conditioning is powerful and we enjoyed a great siesta after a really wholesome lunch. Bathrooms were tidy, toiletries were sparse but clean towels were available at request. Food was served on the top floor balcony overlooking the beach. Would recommend you get a few beers to beat the humidity.
The real star of this property is neither the stellar location or the great rooms. I rarely write reviews but Marari Praise warranted one thanks to the family that runs it. Koshy and Rini along with their kids Praise and Praisy are some of the best hosts I have had the pleasure of staying with. They were ready to accommodate any of our requests. Often going out of their way to help us out. Like other reviewers have mentioned the hosts are amazingly patient with guest requests. I will recommend this place to friends and family just to experience the hospitality of the host family.
Previously I had stayed in a chain resort nearby and the experience was ok. It was an experience that is sanitized and packaged to tick boxes. A version of Kerala that they think visitors will enjoy. Marari Praise on the other hand was the real Kerala : warm, authentic people living real lives.

If you plan to stay at Mararikulam, you should try to get a booking at the Praise marari homestay. I say this because it will enhance your overall experience of Kerala. First it is right on the beach, miles and miles of pristine sea and sand less than 10 ft from the homestay. There are two rooms on the first floor and two on the ground floor. The rooms on the first floor open to a large verandah offering a panoramic view of the sea throughout the day. Also you can watch the fishermen bringing in the morning catch and an a weekend you can see a tourist or two walk by. Second the rooms are large, air conditioned with attached bathrooms and cleaned regularly. Toiletries are sparse but you can ask for more. But what sets the Praise marari apart from the rest is the food which is outstanding. Chechi 's cooking has to be the 'BEST IN KERALA' , we gorged on mountains of idli, dosa and tons of sambhar and coconut chutney, all freshly prepared each day. We also had lunch and dinner on several occasions. Chechi 's food is a true reflection of authentic Kerala cooking, prepared with a zillion ingredients, spices and lots of love and care. Nothing can beat that. Also the warmth of the entire family of four is a precious gift which enlivens your holiday to another level. Praisy and Praise the kids and Kosy and Rini their parents work very hard to ensure that everything is perfect for you. The homestay truly felt like a warm and loving home. We stayed three weeks and wish we could stay more.

I found a real paradise on the beach. As a female solo traveller I found many advantages being hosted by Praisy, Prais and their parents: first of all the kindness and availability for any of my requests; the home food was fresh and delicious; the room was very spacious and clean. I really felt safe and I would recommend this accommodation to any couple or solo traveller which are exploring Kerala.

The location was right by the very unspoiled beach. we stayed on the first floor where we had beautiful view of the beach and the local fishing boats, where the fishermen sorted out their catch and tended to their nets in the morning. We had a good simple breakfast on our balcony every morning of eggs with toast and jam, watching the fishermen at work with the kites flying overhead looking for any fish they could get. Our room in the Homestay was a decent size and clean, with hot water and AC. Johny our host was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for him.

The Marari Praise Homestay must be one of the best beach accommodation that we have ever stayed in. It is set right at the waters edge of the gorgeous palm tree lined Marari Beach. The host was really fantastic and couldn’t do enough to help us. Very clean and pleasant rooms and the most fantastic view out onto the beach and the Indian Ocean. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Loved this homestsy. Stayed for 4 nights and didn’t want to leave. The location was amazing - right on the sea front. From my room I could watch the fishermen in the morning return with their catch and sort their nets. Very quiet - perfect place to relax. Staff were very friendly and JiJi in particular couldn’t have been helpful. The room was large, spotlessly clean and the bed very comfortable. My idea of paradise.

We, group of 12 friends stayed for one night in this beautiful beachfront homestay. We booked directly with the owner. We occupied all the four rooms. Upstairs rooms are very spacious and amazing views from the balcony. You can enjoy the sunset from the balcony. Best homestay in Mararikulam. If you step out, you will walk on the beach sand. Food was delicious. Chechi prepared authentic Kerala dishes. We liked Fish curry and rasam very much. We had our Lunch, Dinner and Breakfast in the homestay only. Jiji will take care all your needs. Very picturesque place.. We enjoyed our stay..

I stayed in this superb guest house. the house is very beautiful and overlooks the magnificent Marari beach. The view is incredible, beach, coconut trees and fishing boats typical of Kerala. The place is very quiet. The rooms are very comfortable with all the necessary amenities. They open onto a terrace where you can enjoy your very good breakfast. The owners and staff will give you a very warm welcome. I recommend this establishment if you want to stay on Marari beach.

The guesthouse is stunning, right on the beach with hardly any tourist there! We had a private balcony including a nice table overlooking the beach, perfect for sunsets. The room was clean and spacious. The breakfast was delicious and we also had diner there a few times, we were never disappointed! Otherwise if you fancy going out there are several good options just 10mn walk on the beach.
Finally, the staff is amazing and they let us checkout very late on our last day. A special thanks to Johney for taking such good care of us during our stay. It couldn't have gone better!
