Marari Nest Beach Homestay

The owner looks after his hotel and guests with the same care he lavishes on his garden. It’s a beautiful property, close to the beach, spotlessly clean, with excellent breakfasts (and dinners if you choose) which are, more often than not, served by the owner himself. Highly recommended!

Place was peaceful, clean and comfortable. The location was great, near the beach and restaurants, with a bus to Alappay at the end of the road. Breakfast was fine. Communications were a bit lacking. We asked if they did laundry, they said yes but we couldn't seem to actually get it done. Breakfast time was hit and miss. There was a surveillance camera on a pillar two meters away pointing at our balcony, which seemed a bit weird. To be honest we wouldn't stay there again, but that was just our experience.

I have stayed in other home stays but this is exceptional! Jijo and his family are the kindest, warmest people and their hospitality was first class. My room was spotlessly clean with a comfy bed, A/C, fan and all bathroom amenities with hot water. The garden is beautiful which I couldn’t resist photographing. I had a private terrace outside my room with outdoor seating overlooking the garden. Lovely birdsong. Jijo brought my breakfast to the terrace each morning which was delicious and very generous! Of course each day was spent at the beach which is only a 4 minute walk away so a great location. If you’re interested in the life of the locals I went to the beach at 6am one morning to watch all the local fishermen bring in their catch. Fascinating to watch. This Homestay is luxury and better than a lot of hotels! Thank you so much Jijo, Nina and family. You really care about your guests for which I’m so grateful. It has been the best and will always be remembered! നന്ദി.

An excellent place to stay that is close to the beach (around 200 m). The family running the homestay is very very nice and eager to help with anything and everything you need. The breakfast is amazing and different each time. In close vicinity there are also some restaurants with good local food.

Excellent homestay… the rooms were clean and beautifully maintained. The air conditioning and facilities were first class. The garden is absolutely beautiful. Jeejo and his wife were great hosts and cooked us amazing breakfast each day. The beach is close by ***** with local restaurants. Thank you Jeejo.
