We have just returned from a wonderful relax in Kerala! We toured around with our three children (16,14,11) and finished off at Allwyn and Jency and beautiful marari Dreamz! The whole place was even more lovely than the pictures and the rooms immaculate! We loved the outdoor showers cozy beds and delicious food! My cooking lesson with Jency was a hilight! I wish we could come back regularly, but now it feels like a distant dream as we are back to work and school in busy London.

After 2 weeks in the heat and smoke of the big city we needed a total chill out. From the moment we stepped through the gate Marari Dreamz began to weave its spell.Allwyn is such a gracious host; he and Jency made us feel like one of their family, starting with a welcome cup of tea whilst Allwyn gave us a great introduction to the area and all the possibilities for our stay. He then showed us up to ‘Sky Retreat’ a lovely room above the main house with a large shady veranda with a view of the invitingly cool pool and the beautiful garden full of fruit and nut trees. The air conditioned room was beautifully cool and the open air shower was a romantic touch. As the sun set we could smell wonderful aromas from the kitchen which was shortly followed by the first of a succession of delicious Keralan meals, incorporating the fantastic fresh seafood which we were able to watch being landed directly not to the beach the following day. Allwyn, Jency and all their staff could not do enough to help us, nothing was too much trouble.

If you want to stay somewhere far removed from the corporate sameness of big hotels, where you are greeted as a friend, then Marari Dreamz could be the place for you

Marari Dreamz is one of the best places I have ever had the pleasure staying at. From the moment we entered the grounds, and were warmly welcomed by Allwyn and Jency, we felt that we had entered an enchanted world. Allwyn told us of the activities that we might do locally . The free use of bicycles and beach mats were an added bonus. We were given a simplified map of the area and enjoyed simple bike rides around the area including an early morning ride to see the local fishermen bringing in their catch. We stayed in the Cashew villa, with its’open air bathroom, its’ “private” veranda, with a pod chair and hammock. Delicious breakfasts were served on our veranda. We also decided to have our evening meals at Marari Dreamz too. Jency is a wonderful cook, and her freshly cooked evening meals, tantalised our tastebuds. The pool was a wonderful place to laze around, and kept so clean. The gardens were well kept with a wide variety of plants. Our 4 night stay soon passed, and we regret not having booked a longer stay. We had a wonderful stay, and hope to return sometime in the future. A little piece of heaven here on earth, or as the Italians might say “Un piccolo pezzo di paradiso qui sulla terra.”
