We had an amazing time at the Tree of Life Marari Sands Beach Resort in the first week of Jan 2021. The property is very beautiful with only 9 independent cottages and an amazing private beach right infront. We stayed at the palm view cottage for two nights and it was so peaceful with 10/10 for ambience. We could hear the waves from our verandah and had a distant view of the beach too. The pool was closed because of the govt restrictions. But the beach is very clean and you can get in to the sea for a swim safely - lot of good photo oppos too :) .
The food is served from a limited set of menu and is little on the expensive side, but it was very tasty and the quantity was also pretty good! Special mention to the restaurant staff who was so very helpful with our needs! We always got our food on time! There are no shops nearby, so if you want to stock some snacks and soft drinks, I would recommend you to buy it as you come.
The place is pet friendly with lot of open spaces for the pets to walk around and they can happily stay at the cottage verandah too.
I also would like to mention my thanks to Ajith who was really welcoming and made our stay special.
I would have given all 5 stars if it...We had an amazing time at the Tree of Life Marari Sands Beach Resort in the first week of Jan 2021.

I would have given all 5 stars if it was not for the maintenance part. For the price we paid, we would have loved someone giving us toiletries and water without us reminding and following up on the second day of our stay. Also it would have been good if the beach beds were properly cleaned and sanitized on a daily basis.
Also if you are driving to the place via Aleppey, it would be good to check with the staff on the route as a particular road stretch is closed for maintenance.
Overall we are very happy with the experience and we had an amazing time!More
