Marari Cleetus beach homestay

Really a nice experience even if for only one night! Clean room, air conditioning, great breakfast with eggs, tea and coffeee, on a beautiful and big beach! Nice and really kind people, always available for everything! I will be back for sure as soon as possible!!!!!

We found this homestay quiet, clean and very close to the beach. We would recommend. Jomon did all he could to make our stay enjoyable. We were served a lovely breakfast and could get drinks all day long. His mum did our laundry which was great.

A wonderful home stay experience. The hosts are lovely and very hospitable. The rooms are clean, neat and tidy. We had A/C and a fan. It is located only 50m from the beach which was perfect. We had dinner with our feet in the sand. Would highly recommend this place. 

We were looking a peaceful place to stay in Marari beach and stayed at Marari Cleetus for 6nights. We stayed at on of the rooms closer 50m from the Marari beach. The staff was so helpful and friendly to us during our stay and could speak good english. Thank you very much for making our small vacation relaxed and enjoyable! 

We spent two nights here after flying into India to recuperate and get ready for our India adventure. Was absolutely perfect for us. The food that was cooked for us each day (you just need to tell them in advance what you want and they will buy it and cook it for you) was amazing. On the first night our room had an electrical problem so they moved us to one of the beachfront huts which was amazing! Rooms are not luxury but this is India - clean and simple is all you need! Staff were always happy to answer our questions and help us out - they gave us a beach umbrella and chairs so we could sit on the beach. The beach is a short walk away and there are other restaurants and places you can eat or just buy a coconut to drink. The beach and water is very clean and good for swimming - though the surf is a little daunting but not dangerous and plenty of people swimming. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants some quiet beach time, excellent local food (honestly some of our best meals in India were here) and somewhere comfy to sleep. Wifi was available (not all the time but most of the time) and was fast enough for what we needed.

Good Property , Near the Beach

It is a home stay . We got room at front side . Room was spacious with Air Conditioner and attached Washroom. Beach is very close to the property , you need 5 to 8 minutes to go to the beach . They served breakfast which was simple but tasty. Host helped me with my luggage while checkout. He is a good person. Complementary wifi available.

We began our visit to Marari beach in another home-stay, but luckily came upon the beach villa of Marari Cleetus, and we changed over the next day. They have one villa on beach separate from the main property, where we stayed. However, you would probably have to reserve this in advance especially during the season. The beach villa is worth the extra cost for the proximity to beach, ambience and sense of personal privacy. We enjoyed 2 nights here and although the sea was too rough to swim, we did have a nice time sleeping in the hammock and whiling away the hours reading and taking walks. The staff are very nice and friendly. Mr. Augustine and his nephew Joe were excellent. The included breakfast was good and filling, and there are beach-side restaurants just a stone's throw away for lunch and dinner. Nice, relaxing place!

Wonderful Stay

Clean Room, friendly and helpful service

Amazing food, beach location and a nice, quiet atmosphere

Good Property  Near the Beach

Great beach front villa to chill out!

We had booked the sea view cottages four months ahead. However the night before our arrival, heavy rains caused severe leakage of the roofs and the rooms were not habitable. we only discovered this after reaching the place so were initially very disappointed. We were given alternate rooms a little further down the road. Which was almost as good. 

Many of the homestays in mararikulam seem to be located on this sand road which leads to the beach. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRIVE TILL THE HOMESTAY YOUR VEHICLE COULD GET STUCK IN THE SAND LIKE OURS DID. The beach is a fishermans beach. Not much rubbish but a little smelly (human waste) and a not shallow. Not many shells, too rough to swim but we enjoyed playing in the waves. 

The owners were very friendly people, eager to oblige. The food was excellent, cooked as per request. Roughly 400rs per person per meal for non veg, unlimited. There were many flies, which seemed to be everywhere in this locality. soap bar and toilet paper are provided on request. Meals are served only after request, we did not realize this so we were politely waiting for our food. There are bakeries a very short walk away. Internet was intermittently fast. Bathrooms are large. Rooms are reasonably clean. No lined dustbins in the toilet. The owners live right behind these rooms. 

Overall this was an average stay, the highlight being the friendliness of the owners and the food. The beach was average, the facilities are basic but all that is really needed. This was our first homestay experience so we realise that although it may not come upto to good hotel standards it is really worth it for the price!

Good food and friendly owners, avg facilities and beach

This hotel is listed by name cosy stay on Oyo. We cheked in around 4:30/5 on 21 march. It was very hot and ac was not cooling. We told the staff within 20 min, they said it takes time to cool. After half and hour more, we again we complained, we were told voltage was low and eventually it will work. We went off to the beach after this. Returned back and still the ac was not working. My mom checked nearby rooms to shift after all this hassle. We found a room next door with perfectly working ac and we told we want to check out. We said we are ready to pay half the price for 3/4 hrs that we kept our luggage there, a woman took our luggage and told she will not let us check out unless we pay them full. To add to the above experience we had to call every time for a bucket, soaps, water, the room service was extremely poor. We felt so harassed in a strange town. We told them to let us go, else we will have to call the police. They said please do call. We waited for an hour for the police to arrive, since the hone stay goes by 2 names online, cosy stay and the one above. We eventually paid them 2/3 amount and left after the police came. Really bad experience, not recommended. Pathetic, spoiled our day and trip.
