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...The homestay is right on the beach affording you great views from the top floor rooms and balcony.

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. More
