Mandaram villas

Nous avons passé un séjour merveilleux. Le cadre et l’atmosphère y est très agréable. Nous avons reçu un accueil chaleureux d’Allwyn, qui a été à l’écoute et arrangeant tout le séjour, en plus de nous avoir recommandé les choses à faire dans la region. Nous avons eu la chance de gouter à de nombreux plats locaux, nous nous sommes régalés. Une expérience que nous recommandons à tous ceux qui souhaitent passer un moment de détente. Merci à toi et ton équipe Allwyn.

Super fijn onderkomen. Mooie kamers en badkamer. Elke dag word je kamer schoongemaakt en krijg je schone handdoeken en flessen water. Ontbijt is goed verzorgd. Personeel is vriendelijk en Allwyn erg behulpzaam. We zaten dichtbij het strand en we mochten gebruik maken van de fietsen. Zwembad was een aangename verkoeling. Echt een aanrader, zeker om even bij te komen na een drukke rondreis door India.

Our favourite stay in a month long trip to Southern India. Allwyn is a fabulous host and helps with organising things to do etc. Food is amazing!

Tout! Les lieux, les personnes, les repas, les recommandations, l’aide à l’organisation d’activités ou de transport, la piscine à 30 degrés,….. Tout était parfait!

The staff were so warm and friendly. They helped us with every part of our stay ensuring that we were well looked after. Bonus was the amazing food, especially dinner - a feast. Loved our time here! Thank you to all the amazing people who run the show

Wonderful property with the perfect pool, excellent staff and the best location. Book here and let lovely Jency and Allwyn take care of the rest

Sehr sauber, super nettes Personal, tolle Lage direkt am Strand und sehr leckeres Frühstück und Abendessen :-)

We loved everything about Mandaram Villas. The owners and staff are lovely people and cater for your every needs. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The pool is delightful. You can see birdlife in the trees all around including owls. The breakfast is delicious, and the evening meal is a sumptuous feasts of local dishes. Our favourite stay during a month in Kerala

All fabulous

Une guest house exceptionnelle. Yasmine et son personnel sont très attentionnés, les repas sont copieux avec des produits frais à des tarifs défiants toute concurrence. Ils sont à l'écoute, organisent des activités. La chambre est spacieuse et la piscine agréable. La mer à 2 minutes. Tout est parfait.

We had a fantastic stay at Mandaram Villas. Everything we could possibly imagine to make our stay perfect was there: a beautiful swimming pool, a spacious room, an outdoor shower with all the luxuries of an indoor one, incredibly friendly hosts and staff, delicious food and beautiful surroundings. In the morning, they arranged a yoga class for us with a very skilled instructor. It was also a huge plus that the beach was less than a two-minute walk away. The bicycles they provide are also very handy if you want to visit places in Marari. We couldn't have imagined it any better. Thank you!

We had a fabulous stay. Our host was amazing and the property was clean and had great sized rooms. Only three rooms in the property made it a very cosy experience. Breakfast was delicious and only 5 minutes walk to the beach

Lovely large airy comforteble and attractively furnished room. Wonderful hot shower! We loved it. Jesme the housekeeper does an excellent job an gave us a warm welcome and great information about places to visit and things to do. Jesme and all the staff were so kind and helpful. The inclusive breakfasts and evening meal on request were all delicious - home cooking traditional Keralan cuisine. Only three rooms here which was great, laid out around a lovely pool. Really good location - just a three minute walk down to a beautiful beach, safe for swimming with sunbeds and with little cafes selling good food.

Nothing!

The friendly and extremely helpful staff and amazing food cooked a lovely smiling lady

Wunderschöne Terrasse, haben abends Glühwürmchen ind tagsüber Vögel beobachtet... Schönes Zimmer, gutes Essen, sehr nettes Personal! Haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt!

Tranquility and the hostess was exceptional in her hospitality and knowledge.

Accueil et accompagnement au top! Jasmine est une manager qui sait prendre soin ses hôtes, le petit dej copieux et fait maison. Chambre spacieuse et confortable. Seul bemolle la piscine car dans les photo on imagine pouvoir s’y baigner mais ce n’est pas le cas.

La piscine

Our stay at Mandaram Villas was nothing short of exceptional. The atmosphere is truly magical—set within a lush, beautifully maintained garden where you wake up each morning to birdsong and complete serenity. Our spacious ground-floor room, with high ceilings and an airy, light-filled atmosphere, opened directly onto the garden, with the stunning pool just steps away, creating a seamless sense of relaxation and privacy. The staff pamper you in every possible way, ensuring that you lack absolutely nothing. Their attentiveness and genuine warmth make you feel completely at home from the very first moment. A heartfelt thank you to Archana, Jismol, Arumal, and Jezmi, whose care and kindness made our stay truly special. In the evenings, you are treated to freshly prepared Indian menus that are varied, refined, and bursting with incredible flavors—an absolute highlight of the stay and a true culinary delight. A special mention goes to Jezmi, who kindly assisted us with arranging appointments for the hairdresser, beauty treatments, and an Ayurvedic massage, all of which were handled flawlessly. The beach is about a 10-minute walk away, or just 2 minutes by the complimentary bicycle provided by the hotel—an easy and pleasant journey either way. Mandaram Villas is a peaceful oasis where comfort, nature, and outstanding hospitality come together perfectly. Highly recommended.

One small improvement could be the addition of darker, light-blocking curtains, as this would allow guests to sleep longer in the mornings and prevent outdoor or night lighting from shining into the room.

Location near the beach, excellent staff, good food and overall very relaxing stay.

It is a very cosy intimate house with only 3 large bedrooms. The staff were fantastic as was the owner , nothing was too much trouble . The food was delicious . An excellent choice for breakfast and lots of different varieties of home cooked fresh dishes for supper all served up on the upper balcony . Very clean rooms and pool and the housekeeper makes a very good fresh lemon, cardamom ginger juice. Ice cold and refreshing . Very close to the beach, excellent bicycles available and yoga on the roof top by appointment with the most fantastic yoga master. A truly delightful stay. We will be back .

I wasn’t very keen on the open roofed shower, too many mosquitoes

Excellent service and a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were fantastic. The food was great. The possibility to buy dinner was appreciated. The room was comfortable. The possibility to get help to book yoga classes, Ayurveda massages, transport and activities was appreciated.

We loved everything.

Hosts Jesmi and Allwyn were nothing short of incredible. Despite our late arrival time they have kindly offered us a delicious home cooked dinner. We only had one full day at Mararikulam and the hosts made sure to organise all of the activities for us. We were communicated everything to know about the area ahead of time. We higly recommend the sunset boat tour at the canals nearby. The beach is only a 3-minute walk from the property and is very quiet and beautiful. A few good seafood restaurants are available right at the beach. Jesmi and Allwyn work very hard to make sure their guests are taken care of. We enjoyed our stay very much and will be recommending it to all our friends!

Spacious rooms, very clean, close to the beach and friendly staff. Great food, especially for dinner. Nice pool

Nothing

Muy cómodo el lugar, de fácil acceso a la playa, El lugar muy bien cuidado y decorado

Todo fue bien, me gustó lo del baño a cielo abierto, sugiero poner malla mosquitero en el hueco de ducha.

This may be the best accommodation we have stayed at, a serene set up and wonderful hosts who were extremely helpful in making arrangements for us particularly to assist with changes of plans. The room was spacious and food available (breakfast and dinner) was delicious and tailored to our taste. Great location 5 minutes walk from the beach and other nearby restaurants along the beach.

Ett mycket trevligt boende med ett perfekt läge och nära till stranden. Bra frukost och vi provade på middagen också som var riktigt bra. Personalen gjorde att vår vistelse blev utmärkt och var riktigt service vänliga. Boendet har cyklar att låna ut som vi nyttjade till att utforska omgivningen med.

Allt var perfekt och passande oss utmärkt

Stunning property very well maintained and set-up. Very close to the beach in a peaceful location. The rooms are spacious and clean. All your needs are catered for. The staff were so lovely, kind, attentive and made sure we all enjoyed our trip. We loved the pool and cooking class. Breakfast and dinners were exceptional. Highly recommended!

My parents from the UK weren't a fan of the outdoor bathroom mainly because of mosquitoes bugs, etc but this just preference!

Very comfortable and clean

Excellente adresse. La villa ne comporte que 3 chambres ce qui confère une certaine intimité et un service personnalisé. La chambre edt très grande avec une belle salle de bain. La douche est rapidement chaude, puissante et ouverte sur l'extérieur. Jesmin est une hotesse fantastique. Toute l'équipe est adorable et efficace. Les repas sont trés bons. Belle piscine et la plage à 300m. Que demander de plus?

Partir...

Everything is as you see on the pictures, the villa is beautiful, rooms are large and the showers work a treat. The staff were extremely welcoming and happy to cater to our every need. They supported arranging transfers onto our onward journey. They made one of the best dinners and we have had on travels and tailored our breakfast to our preferences. The bikes provided are a fun way to get around and the beach is in close walking proximity.

Location is minutes from the beach. Food was amazing and well exceeded any expectations you could possibly have. They are so welcoming and attentive. They made my birthday extra special, as well. arranged a cake for me and decorated for my birthday. The space was extremely clean and just beautiful. They offer cooking lessons and yoga, no extra charge. I would absolutely be back, honestly wish I had more time.

n/a it was all lovely

Tout. Cadre magnifique, calme et verdoyant, qui invite immédiatement à la détente. Loin de l’agitation, l’atmosphère respire le slow tourisme : on prend le temps, on profite, on savoure. La piscine, petite mais absolument parfaite, s’intègre harmonieusement dans le paysage et respecte l’esprit des lieux. La cuisine est entièrement maison, avec chaque soir un menu chaud différent, 100 % indien et typique du Kerala. Les saveurs sont délicates, parfaitement équilibrées, sans excès d’épices – même les plus sensibles peuvent tout déguster sans crainte. L’encadrement est impeccable : attentif sans être intrusif, toujours avec le sourire. L’hôte est tout simplement génial, chaleureux, passionné et tellement cool qu’on se sent vite comme à la maison. Vous voulez être tranquilles et éviter les endroits dénaturés ? Vous êtes au bon endroit. Promenade sur la plage, balade à vélo dans les villages alentour… une pépite à savourer sans modération. Fan de ressort, de transat payant, de buffet continental etc...passez votre chemin.

This was a surprisingly beautiful homestay within the context of the small fishing village it's located in. Our hosts (Jesmi, Allwyn and all the people who kept the place lively) -were beyond professional and welcoming, and made our stay feel very comfortable, while leaving us space to relax and enjoy the facilities at our own pace, -and, accommodating our own lack of planning and utiliing their knowledge of the area by giving us useful recommendations and helping us organize activities for the day and ensuring they are executed in a timely and clear manner. Beyond this, the food (home prepared) was very good, and it was presented in a cozy atmosphere and with accommodations for our timetable and dietary preferences (also because we basically had almost the entire place to ourselves, having two of the three available rooms booked and the other one unoccupied). The presence of the two well-behaved resident cats also made things a bit more fun.. As for the rooms themselves, they were fantastic, organized perfectly to complement (to be complemented by) the central pool, and with large comfortable beds and the best-looking (but in hindsight not as practical) naturally-lit shower that wowed us at first sight. All the basics one could need (kettle, towels, bug spray, sunscreen, etc) were also there. The central pool is the main attraction for the stay, with clean and warm water that and immediate proximity to the rooms which made it a very enjoyable place to spend time. Our host, Jesmi also helped organize a yoga session for us, which took place on the terrace above the rooms and kitchen, and was a refreshing and envigorating experience with a local yoga master who guided us (3 complete beginners and an experienced practitioner) through a fun session. The views of the surrounding area, and the sounds of the ocean and birds mixed with the ambient sounds of the central pool, all made for an extra-engaging time.

The main drawback, which is not the homestay's fault (for the most part) is just that with such close proximity and integration to and within the natural elements (plants, trees, etc) - there also came some unexpected visitors in the form of insects, most of which were small and co-habitable, let's say, but some were surprisingly and frighteningly large, which (for me, personally) made for uneasy attempts at sleeping comfortably. That said, the hosts did give us the heads up to keep doors closed when not needed and they pointed out the availability of bug sprays and the like, so if you go in expecting the natural drawbacks that come with this type of space (which is also not the type of thing that immediately comes to a traveler's mind, either, especially when it's for leisure) -it should be fine.

My partner and I came here for a few days to celebrate our anniversary and chill out after a month touring India. The whole experience was truly wonderful. Jesmi and Sebastian were on hand whenever we needed and advised us as to lovely ayurverdic, restaurants and beach visits; nothing was to much to ask them. Archana cooked us a delicious home cooked meal for our special date which was the best!! The actual site is stunning with a large pool amidst the tropical flowers and a lovely breakfast spot overlooking the greenery. We had breakfast each morning and it was always something different and wonderfully catered to my gluten free. The rooms are cleans each morning and the pool/sitting area is very well maintained. It has been the most beautiful stay - thank you to the whole team - I’m not sure how we will top this anniversary!!

Nothing!

We only stayed here one night but wish we could’ve stayed longer. Perfect location, a 2 minute walk from Marari beach which is a beautiful, quiet, untarnished beach on the Kerala coastline! The home is exactly as pictured. Our room was spacious and clean, had a very comfy bed, great AC and very fast WiFi - of a similar standard to the other 4-5* hotels we stayed at in Kerala. Beautiful pool area right outside your room, and the home is small enough to feel like you have the place all to yourself. The pool is very clean and well maintained. The staff here are excellent, go out of their way to ensure you are enjoying your stay. Bikes are available to go to local shops/sights. We had dinner and breakfast at the home and the food was excellent and in great quantity.

The location was great for a beach holiday, less than two minutes to the coast and c.10 from the main strip at Marari beach without being as busy as resorts in that area. The staff were incredibly helpful and made some gorgeous food. We ate in one night and had what seemed like a banquet for four despite there only being two of us! Lots of nice restaurants on the beach, especially for those looking for fresh fish. We just wanted a chill few days on the beach after a busy holiday elsewhere, so didn't do the activities offered, but it seemed like the staff were happy to arrange a good list of excursions etc. Pool was nice and cool for an afternoon dip after the beach. Room was spacious and had a fridge which was really useful.

A beautiful property. All the staff were incredibly welcoming and the food is delicious!

Nothing

Fantastic staff! throughout the stay they were marvellous, attentive and helpful. Moreover, they helped us when stuck getting to the airport 2 days after check-out and did so with great smiles, reassurance and good spirits - we appreciated deeply. Pool is vute and the room is huge and fresh, well furnished and spacious - definitely the best one will get right next to the beach. fab quiet location a few feet from the beach. Made our holiday in Kerala!

Mandaram Villas is a lovely Homestay and we were well looked after by the staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. Our very spacious room was very comfortable with large bed and plenty of seating and it was kept spotlessly clean. Our room had a private balcony which we loved for the bird spotting opportunities, and it was very nice to slip into the pool when the dat heated up. The food was some of the best we’ve had, especially the expertly cooked fish dishes. We paid a bit more than we normally do for these trips but it turned out to be good value.

The property is of a very high standard. The rooms are large comfortable and immaculate. It is run on solar power and a lovely aesthetic. The pool is beautiful and it is very close to a beautiful beach. A perfect place to explore Alleppie away from the hustle and bustle. The staff are friendly and attentive and can sort anything for you. One of the best part of the stay is the food wow it’s exceptional.

From the moment we booked we had wonderful service. This is the most lovely tranquil spot, literally a few minutes walk along a tree lined lane to the white sandy beach which was very quiet and unspoilt. The staff cant do enough to make our stay wonderful. The accommodation is spacious and modern but still full of character. Only 3 rooms, a lovely pool and chill out area. They have thought of everything, very comfortable rooms with sofas and chairs and very comfortable beds. The wifi is fast and the aircon modern and quiet! And the bathroom is just wonderful! We feel so lucky to have found this wonderful place. ( How could I forget the mention the evening meals which are out of this world!)

Mandaram villas is a beautiful place, and very tranquil. The villa is emaculate, with large rooms, a beautiful pool to relax and refesh, and a lovely communal area to sit. Surrounded by plants makes for a peaceful experience. Large, well equipped rooms, and just a few minutes walk from Marari beach. The dinner I had here was incredible, and breakfast is plentiful. Allwyn understands well what guests want, and has trained his staff who are all exceptional. Jesmi welcomed me and helped with information on activities to do in the area, and booking these. Bikes available for use was also an added highlight. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Big room, nicely furnished. Nice balcony with table and chairs. No mosquitos, I think they do something about that. Very interesting bathroom, my preferred spot

We asked for an extra bed as we travelled with our teenager. We got a rather thin mattress directly on the floor which I needed to use as my kid refused to sleep on the floor. Very uncomfortable, i got back pain after... Long check-in process, staff a little too intrusive, too many questions, not everybody likes that...

We had a brilliant stay at Mandaram Villas - it is surrounded by green natural beauty and only two minutes walk from a beautiful, peaceful beach. The rooms are spacious and the whole complex is incredibly clean and well kept. The hospitality from Allwyn, Jesmi, Binil, Asha, Archana and the team is some of the best I’ve ever had - they were friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our whole stay. They went the extra mile to help us celebrate a special occasion during our trip. The team also arrange excellent yoga and massage sessions, and a kayaking trip around the Alleppey backwaters. The food at Mandaram Villas was a highlight of our stay - each breakfast and dinner we had was different and interesting, with the chance to a mix of local Keralan dishes. It is the best food we’ve eaten in Kerala!! I would definitely come back and recommend Mandaram Villas to friends.

Nothing!

Love the privacy this villa offers! Secluded & intimate, amazing pool & so close to the beach! The hosts were so kind and helpful during our stay.

The room was very comfortable and very well maintained! The pool was also really relaxing and also very clean. The staff here were so welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us! The food for the evening meal was exceptional we only wish he had room for more! Would definitely recommend this property to anyone!

Excellent host. Excellent location, absolutely amazing food. Definitely recommend.

We loved that Mandaram Villas is a "boutique" structure of only 3 very large bedrooms (with en suite large bathrooms). Each room has a patio or balcony with space to lounge and to have private breakfast and dinner. Both meals are served outside your room. All rooms overlook a pleasant swimming pool with water cascade and the lush of the vegetation. There is by the pool a convivial squared space where to relax, read and/or play some games. It is 300 meters from one of the entrance to the beach and very close to the beach bars and facilities of the Marari beach. It is also very close to the village that can be reached by foot or using one of the bikes provided. We were also impressed to see that the energy is provided by solar panels (well done to the management)! Great to meet a young and energetic lady as manager of the operations and her young colleagues. All a breath of fresh air and very pleasant to have around. The food is fresh and delicious.

Nothing we can think of.

Great sized room. Unique outdoor style shower. Pool was nice. Very friendly staff. Villa was beautiful, secluded and close to the beach. Breakfast was very tasty. We liked that the hotel provided bikes and beach mats for free. Would highly recommend, worth the money.

We had a wonderful stay. The food is amazing, everything is fresh and local. I also recommend to have dinner at Mandaram. You can try lots of different (local) dishes. It felt like a private Villa because there are only 3 apartments. Also enjoyed the boat ride on the backwaters very much! The super friendly staff organizes everything for you (if you like), e. g. Tuk Tuk to Aleppey, boat ride etc. Some other information about Mandaram which some people might find useful: There is hot water in the shower. You cannot wear foot wear at the breakfast/dinner table as they are located on the balcony/kitchen. Electricity was off a couple of times but not not for long.

This information has nothing(!) to do with Mandaram Villas but may be useful to some people: Alleppey has no "night life", at least in monsoon season. There are only a few bars/lounges, some of them are not inviting. Found a nice location in the Ramada hotel (7th floor). They close at 11 pm and it was quite difficult to catch a tuk tuk at that time - even the hotel staff (at Ramada) could not organize a transport. Eventually we found a tuk tuk station after walking for 10 mins.

I had an absolute wonderfull stay in Mandaram Villas, the host Jasmine & owner Allwyn, make your stay to an absolute party, nothing is to much for them, they make sure everything is perfect. Delicious food thanks to the wonderfull lady chef who comes over to cook every day, the wonderful house cat, everything was so nice!

nothing, everything was really wonderfull!

Good choice plenty of it

Maybe twin beds.

Staff are amazing and very helpful - they couldn’t do enough for our party. Great location and dinner at the owners house is highly recommended

No negative comments

Great villa, excellent room, great location, host is verry friendly and cooperative. The beach nearby is marvelous, great food, ayurveda treatments on a highest level. I do recommend and will return there for sure.

Beautifully renovated property. Intimate, very quiet, great hospitality and excellent breakfast. Very clean pool. Just all round a wonderful place to stay. Just a few hundred feet from the beach on the edge of a fishing village. Perfect for early morning swims and watching the sunrise.

Big confortable and clean room with a spacious bathroom Pool right in front of the room Breakfast felt special every day in our own space.Attentive staff ! Allwyn was so helpfull and the dinners at the sister homestay Marari Dreams were exceptional cooked by Jency ,Allwyns wife .Also big thanks for my suprice birthday cake.Homestay was a short walk from Marari beach .Cannot wait to go back again !

Nothing

Allwyn and his team are so friendly and go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need! The room was lovely and spacious, amazing comfy bed, delicious breakfast, in a great location and really clean.

Nothing, it was brilliant

Allwyn & Jency are two of the loveliest people you will meet. Very helpful and accommodating. We spent two weeks in Kerela and Jency’s cooking was the best food we ate. Allwyn gave us great advice for what to do and was able to book most things for us including transport when needed. Having the bikes available was the perfect way to explore the surrounding area with the help of Allwyns map. We really had the best time here and would come back in a heartbeat.

Our stay at Mandaram Villas was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. A prepaid taxi was arranged for us from the airport so we didn’t need to worry about cash until the end of our stay. Communication with the owner Allwyn was perfect all on WhatsApp to keep things easy, he even arranged the cab to stop so we could get food en route to the guesthouse as we had a late check in. - The rooms are incredibly comfortable and spacious with a large bathroom with an open roof shower into nature. The style of the property reminded me of a Moroccan Riad with the 3 guest rooms split over 2 levels and an open central section with L shape swimming pool, perfect for those more lazy days sunbathing at the house. The property offers breakfast included which is exceptional, each guest room has its own private dining area and the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. For dinner we were invited to Allwyn’s second property (also on booking.com) Marari Dreamz which we highly recommend. It was by far the best meals we had in Kerala and to be honest it was my favourite of our whole trip through South India. All locally sourced authentic South Indian home cooked dishes prepared by Allwyn’s wife Jency. The whole experience was a 10/10 for vibe and food! - We were also offered lots of activities to do during our stay which were all explained after breakfast on our first day by the house manager. All can be arranged through them - Yoga, boat tours, kayaking, scooters etc. We also had access to beach mats for the beach around 3 minutes walk away. Probably the longest tropical beach I’ve even seen with beautiful clear waters and palm trees. We even got to see dolphins on our first swim which was amazing. The house also offers free bicycles to explore the local village and temple which was definitely worth a visit. - All in all this is a perfect oasis to unwind after a long day exploring the local areas and activities.

Nothing at all :)

Beautifully designed star light bathroom, peaceful and relaxing, very short walk to beach and cafe. Easy reach of backwaters, lovely helpful staff and owner, friendly locals. Delicious food!

All good.

Beautiful property, pool very clean, location 400m from the beach, super friendly and welcoming staff, home made South Indian breakfast, even organised back water canoae trip for us 😀 😋

There was nothing that we could say was not likeable on this property. We really enjoyed our stay here and can highly recommend it for others ❤️

Such a cosy place to stay with trees and the sounds of birds around us. The staff were great and very helpful. We cycled about 2 minutes to the beach which was lovely.

So tranquil. Host and staff impeccable

Nothing!

We had the most wonderful time at Mandaram villas and felt comfortable from the first second. The team fullfilled our every wish: In the morning we had nice yoga sessions, in the afternoon we enjoyed homemade lemonade. And the food, both breakfast and dinner, was fantastic! The beach is very near and we were even lucky to see dolphins. :-) It was all in all the best ending for our trip through South India.

Peaceful place , the swimming pool always perfect, the room was very clean , service extremely kind and the breakfast and dinner just fantastic .

Such a lovely place to stay. Everywhere is kept immaculately clean. Everyone working here is very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Lovely breakfast every day by the pool. Relaxing to stay by the pool or you can walk to the beautiful beach in just 5 minutes. The gardens are beautiful too. We also ate here in the evening with delicious Keralan food. Highly recommend staying here for a very relaxing time. We also had dinner at the owner Allwyn's other property one evening with fabulous fish and veggie curries, dosa, rice etc. All delicious and cooked to perfection by Allwyn's wife Jensy.

Nothing

The property feels unique and homely. The rooms are big and the property is well looked after. Manju (Manager) and Allwyn were welcoming and friendly. Both were able to help us with our stay and arranging activities. We really enjoyed riding around the village on the quieter roads with bikes from the hotel. This is a must stay for Marari Beach.

Very nice stay with an excellent host and staff. Always helpful and very friendly. Thanks Allwyn and Team.

Epic place to stay, with friendly staff, 5 min walk to a great beach and stunning room and pool. 10/10 would recommend to a friend

A beautiful, modern, clean and comfortable villa with plenty of space.

Could benefit from a TV & storage space

The overall ambience is really earthen. Covered by plants and nature. Beach is very close walking distance. Pool is just outside the room.

Plants are blocking the entrance. No parking. Bed is not king size.

The place is fantastic, Nice big rooms, Great pool, fantastic breakfast and Allwyn is a great host and has excellent information and was a great help. Close to the beach for sunset.

That I couldn't stay longer

Such a great place. Allwyn & his staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome and nothing is too much trouble. The home cooked evening dinner was awesome as was the breakfast. We made good use of the complementary bicycles too.

We liked everything!

A peaceful, lush oasis away from the hustle and bustle of life outside.

The staff are amazing and do helpful. A beautiful room and the pool was bliss. Fantastic breakfast too

What a gem in Mararikulam! After a warm and thorough welcome by Allwyn we settled in a spacious, nicely decorated, air-conditioned room. The bathroom is without a roof so in the morning you find the lovely blossoms fallen from the trees above on the shower floor. The rooms are cleaned daily, towels and water is provided. There is coffee, tea and the kettle in the room. The breakfasts are just superdelicious, a large bowl of fresh fruits, omelette or fried eggs, toast with marmelade accompanied with some tasty local specialities. The owners Allwyn and Dency give you all the attention and care, all they do with extreme love and devotion. Sometimes Dency prepares dinner which is awesome with local flavours and tastes. The Mandaram Villas has a relaxing atmosphere, with a refreshing pool and the magnificent sounds of the birds. If Mandaram Villas is full look at mararidreamz.com which is another property Allwyn and Dency own, lovely peaceful cottages as well. The host is arranging the trips to Alleppey, to the mountains, to ayurveda or homeopath upon request. He is always very generous and helpful! The white sand beach is very close, about 300 metres from the property. It is cute to see and meet the local fishermen on the beach whether taking the boats to the sea or arriving with the loads of fish from the sea. The sea is extremely warm and although the waves might seem and feel quite overwhelming, it is safe to swim there. Approximately a kilometre away one can rent the sunbeds and have lovely food in the beach restaurants. I am grateful for the hospitality we received and would definitely come back! Thank you! 🙏🏻🌞

Everything was excellent!
