Marari Dreamz Pool Villas - Bed & breakfast in Mararikulam - Alappuzha, India

We have been looking forward to staying at Marari Dreamz since we first started planning our India trip about 4 months ago when I came across their website and Marari Dreamz, Allwyn, and Jency totally exceeded our expectations. We arrived at Marari Dreamz and was welcomed by both Jency and Allwyn and they immediately made us feel at home and provided all the information about our stay as well as information about the surrounding area. Jency invited us to cook with her and we enjoyed watching her culinary skills as well as the wonderful tastes for dinner that evening. Allwyn and Jency always made us feel welcome, provided exceptional service, and the room and the entire premises were very clean.

The hidden star of Marari Beach I was tempted to not review this hotel because then it will be harder to book in future. Set in a tropical style green garden, with private rooms and a great pool, yet only minutes from a super beach, this is our second visit. Extremely efficiently managed by Alwyn, who is ably supported by Jency, who is an excellent chef, look no further if you want 5 star service, good food and comfort at a price well below that of the 5 Star hotels in the area. Very highly recommended!

Best place ever. Location was stunning, in a great tropical garden steps from beaches. We had a private pool villa, we enjoy it so much. Room very comfortable. Breakfast and dinner were served personally on the private patio, that was amazing and what about food? The best ever, freshly cooked by Jansi. Thanks a lot, we had a memorable stay. Owners are amazing, they make you feel like home

Marari Dreamz is truly a dream! Great attention is made to the entire site, from the outdoor lounging areas to the pools to the villas - its all fantastic, warm and beautiful. Stayed in the Cashew room, and the private pool was perfect. The sitting area had ample comfortable places to relax, the bed was super comfy, the semi-outdoor shower and bathroom suite was super sweet! This is a private oasis yet just a short walk to the peaceful beach, where the water is warm and waves pleasant, without the busyness of many other beaches in this part of Kerala. Allwyn, Jenci and their lovable pets are incredible hosts. Would highly recommend this gorgeous gem in a stunning and special part of the planet!

Allwyn, Jency and their team of lovely people and friendly dogs are the perfect hosts in the perfect location. The rooms are spotless and comfortable, the food delicious, and the whole area is really worth spending some good time to explore and enjoy. Deserted beaches, fun little shops, outings to kayak in the backwaters and to watch the fishermen were highlights. We could happily have spent much longer here.

We had an absolutely perfect stay here. It was a great place to relax and refuel. Allwyn and Jency are great hosts and they've worked hard to create a little oasis here. Special mention goes to Jency's delicious, authentic cooking which was seriously among the best we tasted in Kerala. There's not a lot of other eating options around so we were only too happy to have dinner there each night. You won't go hungry. They have a bunch of very friendly dogs whose company we enjoyed, and the staff were all very nice. There's bikes to use to explore the village roads around, there's a local bus into Alleppey, Marari Beach is a few minutes walk away and we cycled to the jetty (about 40 mins) to get the ferry over to Kumakarum. We stayed five nights in Cashew Villa which - if it's available- you should definitely book. Private pool. Open air shower. Little garden. Birdsong. Loungers. Hammock. Hanging chair. Bean bags. It's got the lot. It really felt like a mini holiday within our three week trip. Highly recommended. Thank you Allwyn and Jenny.

Homestay of Dreamz I stayed here with my wife for just a couple of nights although we had already visited prior to this as we had stayed at Allwyn and Jency's other property, Mandaram Villas. Marari Dreamz consists of 3 villas, an apartment and 3 pools. We stayed in the rear villa which had its own private pool. Our room was simply but pleasantly furnished, with air conditioning, and had its own bathroom complete with open air shower. Meals were dished up outside our room and everything we were served was wonderful. If you want your evening meal here too Jency will cook you the most delicious local cuisine. The staff work hard keeping the place tidy, the grounds neat and the pools clean. Marari Dreamz is in a good location, situated on a quiet lane and just a short walk to the beach. There are also bicycles you can use if you want to explore the local area whilst you are here. Allwyn was very helpful and was able to organise day trips out and about to various places of interest. Would I stay here again? Definitely

We (two American women in our late twenties) had an amazing stay at Mandaram Villas. The place was GORGEOUS, clean, and welcoming -- the photos online truly don't do it justice. Everyone who worked at the homestay was friendly and very helpful, especially the owner Allwyn who helped us connect to a wide range of tours and activities, which made our experience in Marari much, much richer and easier than it would have been without his help! The breakfasts were incredibly delicious, too, and there were bikes available for us to take around town. We would absolutely stay here again and would recommend this place to all our friends and family.
