I spent a few fabulous days at Palm Villa. The location and facilities are wonderful. The local vegetarian dishes from the varied menu were delicious as was the feast served on a banana leaf on our last evening. The staff were all excellent and made our holiday very special indeed.

This was our last port of call on a fantastic tour of Kerala. We stayed for five nights in the Orchid Villa and couldn't have asked for a better and more relaxing end to our holiday. The villa itself was light, airy and had everything we needed including sunscreen, insect repellent, a torch, mobile phone to take out with us... More

We had the opportunity to sample both sorts of accommodation in this lovely location. We spent the first night in a Palm Villa room which was right on the beach. The room was beautifully decorated and Rupert and Olga had thought of everything one might possibly need. The beach was quiet and unspoilt. The second night we moved to the... More

Wonderful private villa; really well designed and the service was first class. Food was delicious and the beach, which is 10 minutes walk is very unspoilt. All the staff are really friendly. I would recommend Marari Villas to anyone putting together a trip to Kerela; for either a couple of days, or longer

We stayed in Marari Villas in the Hibiscus cottage for a week at the beginning of our trip around Kerala with our two daughters (ages 8 and 11 years). First, before we even arrived Olga was so amazingly helpful with all her advice and help about planning the rest of our trip. We arrived in the middle of the night... More

We spent 8 days in Kerala last week out of which 3 days in Marari Villas. Location, location, location - A long strip of sandy beach, Coconut trees, fishermen, sea with warm water, we did not expect more but there was... The villas are designed so homy, and we could see the blue water from every angle of the room.... More

We spent a week in Orchid Cottage following a two week tour of Rajasthan. It was exactly what we wanted - a week of total relaxation. The staff are wonderful and really took good care of us. We loved having our own pool and swam several times a day. The beach is absolutely beautiful and was usually deserted except for... More

Marari villas was such a wonderful find, peaceful and quiet with our own chef to cook whatever we wish for along with the flexibility to cook for ourselves should we choose. A kitchen along with a large well stocked fridge and decent coffee was particularly welcome and the pool just outside the bedroom provided for all our needs. Added to... More

We stayed for two nights, the last of our Kerala holidays, in room 3 of Palm Villa. What an idyllic way to end a holiday. The welcome was great (a mint lime cooling drink) the accmmodation was perfect and the food was mouth watering. We visited the local fish market with the chef and chose our fish for the evening...
