Marari Umapathi Beach Villa

Everything is good

Nthng

Comfortable rooms , nice breakfast

The ambience and the hospitality

A little far from beach. No nearby good hotels

This is a family run Honestay, all the family are fantastic so very kind and helpful, so very hospitable and invited me for lunch for Onam festival, they truly are beautiful people.The rooms are lovely and the breakfast is delicous.

Lovely hosts - we were leaving early so they gave us a packed breakfast and they even got up at 3am to ensure our taxi turned up ok! Would recommend staying here.

Nature place hospitality gesture everything was very good

We stayed four nights and felt very comfortable throughout our entire stay. The host family was very kind and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The breakfast was varied and delicious, the bed was very comfortable, and the rooms were clean and well-maintained. We also really loved the beautifully designed garden — it was a great place to relax. We would definitely come back anytime and can highly recommend staying here!

The accommodation is about 350 meters from the beach. You need to cross a road to get there, so it’s not directly on the beachfront.

Сілька місцевість, з своїм колоритом. Гарні привітні господарі. Самі готуючи сніданки. В цілому все добре.

В самій місцевості дуже погано працює інтернет. Включая вайфай. Тож працювати не дуже є можливість.

Curta distância a pé até a praia, ótima instalação, família atenciosa e educada.

Cet homestay est situé dans un jardin très bien entretenu qui s illumine le soir et offre des bungalows à l ombre et frais

400m de la plage par la route passante mais non rien

Très joli homestay pour finir le voyage, ombragé et très agréable quand il fait chaud, avec la plage à côté. Les propriétaires sont adorables et les petits déjeuners délicieux.

Famille adorable. Écrin de verdure et de fraîcheur Cuisine délicieuse. Umapathi nous a arrangé quelques visite avec son rickshaw. Nous recommandons ++++!!!! Merci encore

Tout était parfait

Wonderful homestay with the kindest family running it. Everyone was kind, attentive, friendly and helpful. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. The garden is lovely, especially at night with the lights. Location is superb, less than 5 min walking from the beach. Cannot recommend higher!

Absolutely nothing. Stay was perfect.

The room was comfortable, the garden enchanting, the food excellent, the people running the place kind and friendly.

The bungalow is not really beachfront even though the description says so. It's about 350 meters away from the beach and you have to walk partially along the road with traffic.

Très agréable guesthouse dans un joli jardin qui apporte beaucoup de fraîcheur. Jolie chambre climatisée Excellent petit déjeuner et repas du soir Mais le plus c est l acceuil et la gentillesse de la famille Je ne peux que recommander

Rien

Petit coin cosy avec une très grande chambre. Un très bon accueil et très serviable. L hôte nous a organisé une balade en bateau sur un back watter . Je recommande.

The host was too good. Breakfast was delicious. We were served tea both in the morning and evening. Rooms were neat, clean and spacious. Highly recommended

I liked everything about the stay.

Amazing vibe .. easy and quiet :) good host and family . They were so sweet

I liked everything — there is nothing to dislike

Host and ambience were very nice. Asked for a candle light dinner, eventhough it was in last minute he was able to arrange whatever he could. Less crowded beach also there within walkable distance.

المكان والاطلاله كانت لللغرف كانت جميله وكذالك المضيف جدا متعاون ولطيف

1-لايوجد عزل للغرف 2- الكهرباء ليست مستقره تضعف وتنقطع بشكل مستمر 3- المكان يحتوي على الحشرات السحالي

Hospitality

Breakfast was basic but nice. Location is good

No proper parking space. Water logging during rains.

Superb

Hosts were so friendly and accomodating, very laid back atmosphere. Breakfast made to order. The garden around the property was so pretty. Only a short walk from the nicer, quieter end of the beach.

Nothing

Love the boutique feel of the place and the hosts hospitality makes you want to return. The owner was also very helpful and accomodating.

How short the time spent there.

Excellent value for money. Cute little room that’s close to the beach. The food is really good.

Everything was Nice, and the home made food was delicious, but there was humidity in the room and i personaly don’t like it too much.

Friendly hosts, beautiful garden, comfortable room, close to the beach - everything one could wish for. We would be happy to come back!

Nothing

An oasis of green, the perfect escape from the beach heat and instantly inviting from the moment you walk down the path. It was very tranquil, cool and quiet. Each room has its own table for eating breakfast but also just sitting out to read/do some work etc. The mixed Keralan/English breakfast was great and they even made a good coffee! It was spotlessly clean - not something we’ve experienced in other places we’ve stayed in India! The linen and the towels were also better quality than we’ve had at other places in the same price range, and the shower was good. The AC and fan were also both good. It’s a family run property who are extremely welcoming and friendly and go out of their way to make your experience better. We were driven in the owner’s tuktuk to our massage that they helped us organise, and also asked if we would like to see their local temple at the start of some religious holiday celebrations, which we felt very lucky to be able to experience. The owner’s son also made sure we got into our taxi safely as we left and offered to get us fresh bottles of water for our onward journey.

Nothing

Great location and setting. Room was spacious with aircon that was quiet. The owners were brilliant and food was great. Turns out they have a Tuk Tuk and so took us to the local temple. We were worried at the start as it seemed too cheap and so we thought there must be an issue but it’s the best place we’ve stayed in since arriving in India 2 weeks ago.

A Perfect Stay Amidst Nature Recently, my wife and I had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful homestay, and it was truly a memorable experience. The room is nestled within a beautifully maintained garden that feels like a tropical forest. Mr. Renjith, the owner, has done an incredible job of creating a serene eco-friendly retreat while preserving the charm of a classic Kerala home. The ambience was enchanting, especially at night and in the early morning, with nature all around us. It’s inspiring to see passionate individuals like Mr. Renjith contributing to tourism in such a thoughtful way. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Thank you for the hospitality—keep up the great work!

Best home stay and host. Excellent location. Positive vibes

Wonderful hosts and super cozy room! The bed was so comfy omg

Well designed room and outdoor spaces, with all details as light, fans, decoration etc, hospitality and availability of the family members that were helpful in every aspect.

Good care takers. We reached there at about 1 am.. but they were very helpful in checking in and settling down. Quick 1 min checkin. Exceptional rooms and washroom.

Yes it was excellent and the so immaculately clean and homely.

Nothing, i enjoyed it all

Lovely calm airy bedroom with great quality bed linen and towels. Clean and pretty thoughtfully decorated. Lovely terrace in the shade of trees for relaxing out of the sun too. Brilliant friendly and helpful hosts who even let us check out very late before we caught the night train.

Nothing at all

Very clean comfortable and homely atmosphere. Like the garden . Very good homemade breakfast.

Nothing.

Great location, terrasse with jungle feeling, amazing and delicious breakfast (Home made!), the nicest host family ever! They booked everything we asked for (Tuktuk, laundry, yoga class). The location is also amazing, just by the beach, in a very quiet part of Kerala, great for meditation, slow down. We definitely want to come back again!!!

The warmth and hospitality of the lovely family hosting my stay. Comfortable and spacious room. Delicious and huge breakfast.

Cute little room with very good air con. The room was very spacious and clean, great bathroom with a lovely shower. Very short walk to the beach. The hosts were great. They cooked us a lovely Kerala breakfast. After we checked out, the host brought us to our house boat in his tuk tuk. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Kind family, owner provided good hospitality and gave suggestions for sight seeing activities Walking distance to the beach

The helpfulness of the family when we arrived in the thunderstorm was quite a special moment to say the least . We couldn't make it out as the weather was so bad . They made us some food of their own. This was an amazing meal, we had had to take the recipe back with us ! The location is so close to the beach (5 min walk) and their garden was spectacular! Only wish we could achieve this in the uk . The room was exceptionally clean upon arrival with great facilities. We have had two weeks in kerala, this was the best home stay by far .

The fact we couldn't stay longer .

Very good

Cute little rooms surrounded with beautiful palm trees and plants additionally excellent host Regi and his wife beautiful couple

Hospitality was awesome...food can't explain the taste as much we loved must try their food.... Awesome experience ... Just loved it....have a try

Nil

Very, very nice, attentive and friendly hosts. Nice breakfast (mix of European and Kerala style) Nice room and terasse. Surroundings not so inspiring. Not so many nice places to eat. Beach nothing special.

See above

We enjoyed the stay..the room was super clean and the food was classy..it was so so nice..what a homely taste!!!! the family was also friendly and cooperative.There is a calm and peaceful atmosphere at the property it offers a relaxation from the busy schedule. overall it was so good at Marari Umapathi beach villa. If anyone looking for budget friendly accomodation with tasty food and peaceful atmosphere it would be a great choice..

Clean and excellent service. I will bring my family next to this place.

Very average stay. The room was clean enough but definitely not spotless. The owner and family were not very helpful. The owner offers tuktuk rides but charges more than the street drivers. I don’t quite understand the amazing reviews about the place.. The place is okay for a cheap and average stay in Marari beach.

Everything

Nothing

Perfect in every way. Very close to the beautiful Marari Beach. Room extremely comfortable. Breakfast was delicious!

It's a 5 minute walk from the beach. Perfect for a quiet stay with a small garden and a really nice family hosting you. Breakfast was good as well.

The third bed, although not booked by us, was already in the room, which is a very good thing. Only problem was the sheet was unclean and had lizard droppings and was therefore, unusable.

Location was fantastic, very quick WiFi and delicious food! The family were also so welcoming giving us tips on where to visit locally, and helping us source a cheap local tuktuk for our departure.

Nothing - we were sad to only stay for one night!

The property is lovely and small and surrounded by trees! It’s a 5 min walk to the beach and 5 minutes away from a restaurant with a lot of food options. The hosts were a lovely family and very helpful with information and riskshaw booking. It was a convenient lication and the comfiest bed! The room was clean and offered everything from teas and coffee, a kettle, water, and the washroom had shower gel and shampoo in case you forgot yours. Just a great little stay!

Nothing!

Mr. Umapathi is one of the best host i came across. A lush green heaven tucked in one small area. Great location. Just 5 mins from the beach. Loved the breakfast. Overall awesome.

Very comfortable (semi-detached) bungalow with lovely gardens, 5 minute walk from the beach. Friendly hosts and seriously delicious breakfast!! (We are still thinking about those breakfasts). Amazing value for the price.

The room is nice. All you need is there. Very clean. It is sourrounded by a romantic garden that you can enjoy from the veranda of thd room.. The location is good just few steps to the beach and to The bus stop. The best part is The OWNER she is so kind and she has been so patient and very helpfull. Her and also her family are so pleasant persons. She prepare a super tasty breakfast. Thanks for e smile and Kindness.

All was fine

Property was very comfortable and cozy, hospitality was outstanding, very homely vibe, very caring and down to earth people.

Beautiful little homestay/guesthouse, sitting only a 2 minute walk from Marari Beach. Lovely building, with tons of greenery and plantlife and beautiful, modern rooms. Staff were lovely, really friendly, the father also acted as my taxi driver to Varkala for a good fee. Highy recommended!

Very friendly staff. Lovely room with outdoor terrace. Good breakfast served on terrace. Owner will also provide dinner and organise trips to backwaters on request. Great place if you're looking for somewhere quiet and peaceful

Not much in the way of bars or restaurants in the surrounding area

Short walk from the beach, clean room and very helpful owners! We loved it. Delicious breakfast included!

Nothing!

Very nice people, Big Room with a littel romantic Terrass. The Food is excellent. I would come again. Best Greetings to you all Conny from Switzerland

A lovely little homestay, with clean facilities, very close to the beach. The family made us feel welcome and cooked us a lovely breakfast!

This isn't the properties fault but the beach and area needs more bins! Lots of trash on the beach and in the sea 😥

Rooms were beyond our expectations ,Nice & Tidy surrounded by plants & Trees, Hosts are kind & generous . Highly recommend!

Nice value for money budget friendly property. Very quiet and peaceful surrounding. Beach is 5 minutes walk from the property. Car parking is available. The host is very friendly and helpful. They offered us nice and tasty homemade complimentary breakfast. This is the place for anyone looking for budget friendly neat and peaceful stay at Marari beach.

The rooms, the location, the food and the hosts were amazing ! We loved staying in Marari Umapathi Beach Villa ! The hosts were so kind arranging everything for us !

Lovely hosts, very helpful. The breakfast was fantastic, rooms were lovely and cosy, and the location was super close to the beach! Perfect, thank you!

Everything was perfect. The first time i spent 4 nights at this Homestay and then i traveled to the south but i didn't like it at all at Varkaka. I decided to come back to stay at this Homestay again for 6 nights. All family members are very kind and funny and i had the best food there. I really miss the family already and i hope to come back next year. The beach is so close, it is so peaceful and the rooms are lovely as well. This was my best stay during my time in India 😍

Wonderful warm welcome from lovely host family. Less than 10 minute walk to the beach. Room is spacious and comfortable. The garden area is charming.

Some hanging space for clothes would be nice but there was a coast stand which was adequate for a short stay.

Very friendly owner. Nice room. Excellent food.
