Marari Beach Resort
Built in the style of a traditional fishing village with thatched villas that have been designed to be in keeping with the local village style but luxury as well. Situated at the famous Marari Beach of Alappuzha,this resort is a preferred choice among tourists planning something along the lines of a beach holiday. Apart from the long expanse of sandy beach where you can frolic, the resort is also a nice venue to have some unadulterated fun.
Marari Beach Resort covers an area of 55 acres and is a vast expanse of coconut groves, lotus ponds and lawns. The positive reviews of this hotel are well deserved. It doesn't offer luxury accommodation though the villas are well appointed and well maintained.The resort has sucked in the local flavour and is a mini coastal village in itself. Though this resort is heavily influenced by the fishermen's dwellings in design, it features all the conveniences catering to the modern day traveller. The holiday makers will enjoy this fusion of traditional patterns and contemporary comforts. The guests can chose their accommodation from 65 cottages, which are categorised as Garden Villas and Pool Villas.
Marari Beach Resort has two specialty restaurants to its credit. Though the main buffet restaurant offers cuisines from across the globe, it specializes in traditional Kerala cuisines. The sea food restaurant is a splendid opportunity for the guests to feast on the wide array of sea-food delicacies. What sets the fish served here apart is that it is cooked in earthenware pots seen in the kitchens of rural homes in Kerala. Cooked in slow wood fire, exactly the way done in fisherman's huts give it a distinct flavour. The resort places a lot of emphasis on healthy food. Only organically grown fruits and vegetables are used in the preparation of the food served here. You will love their farm kitchen were you can pick your own veggies and assist in preparing and cooking them. We particularly appreciated the charm, friendliness and efficiency of Manager Subrahmanian who is always on the run to meet his guests and make their stay a very special one.
What People Say about Marari Beach Resort
Eco Friendly Marari Beach Resort
This eco-friendly resort is simple yet comfortable with furniture made from locally-sourced materials. The bathrooms are open to the sky and the bedrooms are well-appointed, but free of televisions as the resort believes one’s time here is better spent watching the sunset or walking in the gardens. We agree.Conde Nest Traveller
Marari Beach Resort - Brilliant hospitality, lovely rooms, great beach
This is a lovely resort, with amazing staff. The rooms are gorgeous, and well-equipped with outdoor bathrooms. The facilities in the resort are very good - lovely, clean sandy beach; expansive area with loungers and hammocks; big pool (with tasty free snacks served in the afternoon!); free internet; and a book house, which was a real treat.The resort does try to be green - with its own vegetable garden and lovely areas dedicated to attracting butterflies (and there are clouds of them!). We also had an excellent walk with a very knowledgeable naturalist - which I strongly recommend. My wife really enjoyed her massage - the best she had in India. The food is very good quality with lots of choice, and you'll probably end up eating here as there's not much else around. It is a bit pricey though by Indian standards. We didn't stay half-board, but it might be worth doing so (although I think you then have to eat in the main restaurant, and the fish restaurant was fun). Reviewed 16 February 2013

“Back again! to Marari beach..”
I rarely return to the same place within such a short space of time, but this little bit of paradise is irresistible. This review builds on my previous one from my visit a year earlier. All the things that impressed me the first time we visited Marari Beach Resort, continue to impress! A most beautiful setting of palm and coconut trees on a private beach. An eco resort that truly cares for the environment. And above all, a staff that provides the most friendly, personable and unpretentious service. We finished off our trip to India with six nights of relaxation at Marari, after starting off at Coconut Lagoon and Spice Coast Cruises. We visited during the San Sebastian festival and I highly recommend catching a rickshaw to visit the basilica - in the evenings you can also catch some colourful parades on the street! Back at the resort, you can enjoy meals made of the freshest locally sourced ingredients by chefs who are proud of their work and care about their customers, like all other staff. The afternoon tea cart by the pool is still a hit and signals the beginning of gorgeous sunsets and a very relaxing mellow atmosphere to ease you into the evening. Throw in an Ayurvedic treatment, and you won't want to go home!
