MARARI BEACH CLEETUS HOMESTAY — Hotel in Kerala

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...

Peaceful and Homely Stay Near the Beach 🌿

We stayed at Marari Beach Cleetus Homestay for two nights while visiting Krepasanam Church to attend the Akanda Japamala Rally, and overall it was a very peaceful and pleasant experience.

The homestay is managed by Mr. Jomon and his family, who are extremely kind, caring, and welcoming. Their warm hospitality made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived.

The location is excellent — about 6 km from Krepasanam Church, 3 km from Mararikulam Railway Station, and only 100 metres from the beach. You can even enjoy a beautiful beach view right from your room through the sliding glass door, which makes the stay truly special.

The rooms were neat, comfortable, and well maintained, with a calm and homely atmosphere perfect for families or anyone looking for a peaceful getaway near the sea.

Highlights: ✅ Friendly and caring hosts – Jomon and family ✅ Clean, peaceful, and homely stay ✅ Lovely beach view from the room ✅ Convenient location near railway station and beach ❌ Approach road is in poor condition ❌ Dogs barking at night can be a bit disturbing

Overall, it was a pleasant and comfortable stay filled with warmth and genuine hospitality. Highly recommended for those looking for a calm and relaxing place near...

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...
