Marari Beach Resort Alleppey- a CGH Earth Experience

Very happy with everything. Very quite place to relax and unwind. Highly recommend. Beautiful staff as well.

Amazing Stay at this hotel. Awesome staff great installations and rooms. The food is great. 100% recomendable for some peaceful days.

This was our second visit and it was just as lovely as the first. Plenty of space so it never feels crowded, lovely beach walks in the evening. Good food (or beach shacks going north offer freshly cooked fish for a change). Great attention to detail. A boisterous sea at times but there is a life guard on duty.

We stayed here for 4 nights. The resort prides itself on being environmentally friendly and natural. It does deliver that on all accounts. I felt the grounds were a little neglected and did not look as lush as on the website. Enjoyed the mineral salt water pool, yoga, beach walk, and amazing food. Nothing was too much to as and a service with a wonderful smile. Recommend the many nature walks, and one to mention was with Vishnu on his owls parliament nature walk where six species are in the resort amongst many variety birds and buttflies. Enjoyed the ayurveda treatments, too, a must. All staff were wonderful, but to mention a few, Bincymol at restaurant, Judeson chef and Divya, Henoch, Mary Grace Jrushba and Angel. The resort is blessed with a beautiful sunset by the beach, and we were very lucky to see some Dolphins. A critic to mention, there needs to be recycling bins on the beach, as there was nowhere to tip used rubbish. Thank you all for making our stay wonderful.

Strange atmosphere, something like a holiday camp crossed with a care home. We had travelled round Goa and Kerula for four weeks staying in boutique hotels, small, quaint, pretty. Marari beach resort was a bit of a shock. Pleasant staff, easy check in and out but still a bit impersonal. Probably too big for us. Laundry prices were a scandal, priced by individual items, we had become used to laundry by the Kilo at very low cost. Meals were hugely expensive. The one we had on arrival was four times the local prices and no better quality. The rest of our stay we ate at a nearby Fisherman’s beach shack or one at a bike rides distance. Much better value. The bikes were very good, except they all had crossbars, so my wife had difficulty getting on. A few decent womens bikes would help. The pool is excellent, warm and deep. The beach is empty. A few sun shades to go with the loungers would have been good. The bungalows are very comfortable.

A lovely location with direct access to the clean beach. Well tended gardens and rooms are individual villas. Very spacious villas, with semi open air bathrooms. This lends an air of excitement (or anxiety) to a visit to the bathroom, especially after dark, as you cannot be sure what you may find lurking ! The hotel has got a lot of anti mosquito measures, such as lemon grass and citronella sticks to burn in the bathroom and on the veranda, and repellent for you to use on your skin offered in the rooms. Take precautions and you should be fine. The food in the main buffet restaurant we found to be excellent. Live music most evenings. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Lovely large clean swimming pool. Some included activities every day. The Spa is worth a visit too. Very different massage to anything I’ve sampled elsewhere in the world.
