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

Marari beach resort CGH Earth Sea-side resort in Mararikulam . This is my 1st solo trip to India. I stayed in Garden villa with private pool (49 m²) for 5 nights. The resort boasts a total of 62 villas. My villa is comfortable with “well thought of” details and with a coconut leaf thatched roof for a village experience. The bathroom was well-designed, well kept and charming, despite being in open air. No TV in room. AC is available. No Room dining. . Recycling: The effort put in, is appreciated. Sustainable practices. Bins for paper plastic etc are everywhere. Bamboo tissues in room. Newspaper carrier bags, food served on bamboo leaf. . Dining was amazing. Buffet Breakfast is available at Chakara Restaurant, and you could join an open air authentic Kerala lunch preparation by local ladies at the beach grill cafe as well. I prefer Indian vegetarian flavors while dining. By the way, Tea Cart Service in the lawns (4-5 pm) is worth trying for Kerala tea. . Staff everywhere were nice, helpful and accommodating. Miss Jancy, the host of the day, was super helpful and informative. Mr. Alben from reception had great recommendations for day outings. Miss Sulabha from the spa, is a great therapist. . I had a great “me” time in this resort. . Bring insect repellent spray with you . See photos.

Amazing !! Have been travelling in India for the last 6 weeks and this was our final hotel before we returned home to Scotland. We certainly saved the best till last !! The staff, food and accommodation has been superb. There are plenty of activities in the hotel for all ages so you will never be bored. Because we have enjoyed the food in India so much and would love to recreate it when we got home, we decided to go ***** to the Farm Kitchen. This was a charged activity but certainly was good value for money. The evening started with being invited ***** to the hotel vegetable garden to collect the ingredients for your dishes. Divya was delightful, she was the chef that was demonstrating the recipes. She was great at explaining everything to us. After the demonstration part of the experience was to eat all of the dishes prepared. What an explosion of flavours. A real dining experience. Thanks to Divya and Preveen for making our evening so special. If you enjoy cooking and Indian food this is an activity that you should consider. After the meal we were presented with a recipe book and apron, what a lovely touch. The Marari Beach Resort has been unforgettable and will certainly be returning home with lots of good memories.

Beautiful place, lovely people, fab beach ( although sea swimming probably tricky but they do have a life guard), pool one of the best hotel pools I’ve ever been in or sat around. We spent 2 nights here. We are not good at relaxing, sitting by a pool or on a beach. In fact my husband hates everything to do with a beach - sand, noisy people and crowds. I managed to get him there for an hour while this sun was setting. Major result. It’s a beautiful place. The night before we had dinner at the beach shack with the loudest thunderstorm ever. Amazing. I hardly ever go in a pool. Normally too cold, weird shape, too crowded. This was the complete opposite. The rooms, individual villas, are well decorated with lots of windows and loads of space. Food fresh and varied. Probably one of the best breakfasts we had in our 2week stay touring Kerala. The prawn curry and buttered chicken were amazing. Thank you Marari

It's a few years since we last visited Marari and I'm delighted to say it's as magical as ever. We were treated as returning friends and it was lovely to meet up again with those we had met on earlier visits and at other CGH properties. There is easy access to the beach and a wonderful mineral salt pool, great gardens, wildlife, and trees: not forgetting the mesmerising parliament of owls. If it's the personnel that make a place and holiday then Marari succeeds on every count. Everyone is professional and friendly and you are guaranteed a warm welcome and attention. Dining and food service is very good with a wide range of outlets with well cooked and presented dishes. Don't miss the daily afternoon chai wagon. Rooms are comfortable , light and airy,and serviced daily to a high standard. So thank you to everyone at Marari for making our stay so enjoyable and our home from home.
