Our stay at Marari Xavier’s Inn was truly memorable.
Pros:

Our stay at Marari Xavier’s Inn was truly memorable. The homestay is located just a short walk from the beautiful Beach, making it perfect for a peaceful and relaxing getaway.

The rooms were very clean, spacious, and well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay throughout. What stood out the most was the warm hospitality of the hosts—they made us feel completely at home and were always ready to help with anything we needed.

The food was another highlight of our stay. The homemade Kerala dishes were fresh, delicious, and prepared with great care, giving us an authentic local experience.

If you are looking for a calm, budget-friendly beach stay with excellent service and a homely atmosphere, Marari Xavier’s Inn is a wonderful choice. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Marari!

Filthy room that could have been great due to the location that was very close to a nice beach.
Pros:

The room and the facility itself was very dirty and filthy.
There was a pool that was beyond filthy with water that looked like brown mud. See attached photo.
The location was great.
The staff was updated for our arrival.
No one as there to greet us or help us with our luggage. Very upsetting that no one was there when we arrived.

Cons:

The room was dirty. The staff was not present when we arrived. We asked for a chair to sit on the beach and that was challenging to get.

Pros:

В этом отеле мы были как дома. Хозяева очень заботливые и добропорядочные люди, которые окружили нас своим вниманием и заботой. Хозяйка очень вкусно готовит и обязательно заранее спрашивает что бы мы хотели на завтрак, обед и ужин. Отель находится в райском месте. Лучшее из посещаемых мною мест для релаксации. Комнаты очень чистые и уютные. Хозяева помогают во всем и если нужны развлечения, то организовывают вам и досуг. Я очень рекомендую это место для отдыха и можно останавливаться даже на долгий срок. Спасибо хозяевам за добрый прием. Я бы очень хотела вернуться и надеюсь это обязательно случится.

Pros:

Marari Xavier’s Inn is a wonderful homestay just steps from Marari Beach. My room was spotless, spacious, and equipped with all the essentials—including a fridge, which was really convenient for keeping drinks and fruit cool in the Kerala heat.

The location is peaceful, perfect for sunrise walks or relaxing by the sea. Albert and Sunitha are amazing hosts who make you feel like part of their family. The home-cooked meals were delicious, especially the local Kerala dishes.

If you want a clean, comfortable, and well-equipped stay with warm hospitality and great food, this is the place I’d highly recommend.

Highly recommended
Pros:

Marari Xavier’s Inn is the perfect mix of comfort, warmth, and authentic Kerala charm. The location is unbeatable—right next to a peaceful stretch of Marari Beach—and the rooms are spotless, cozy, and well-kept. What truly made my stay special was the hospitality of Albert and Sunitha; they went above and beyond to make me feel at home.

The highlight of my trip was the candlelight dinner by the sea—a magical experience with delicious home-cooked Kerala food, the sound of the waves, and a beautifully set table under the stars. It was unforgettable and made the stay extra special.

If you want clean rooms, amazing food, and genuine hospitality—with the option of a romantic dinner by the beach—this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

A Perfect Beachfront Escape with Heartfelt Hospitality

I had the most wonderful stay at Marari Xavier’s Inn! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed like family by Albert, Sunitha, and their team. Their warmth and genuine care made me feel instantly at home.

The location is unbeatable—just a few steps from a quiet stretch of Marari Beach, where you can enjoy serene sunrises, peaceful sunsets, and the soothing sound of waves all day long. My room was spotless, spacious, and comfortable, with a balcony view of the sea that made mornings magical.

The highlight, apart from the stunning surroundings, was the food. Sunitha’s home-cooked Kerala meals were simply delicious—fresh seafood, fragrant curries, and generous breakfasts that set the tone for the day.

Every little detail was taken care of, from organizing local activities to making sure I had everything I needed. It’s rare to find a place that blends professional service with the genuine warmth of a homestay, but Xavier’s Inn does it effortlessly.

If you want a peaceful, clean, and welcoming place by the beach, with the best hosts you could hope for—this is it. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Good choice for an immersive experience directly by the beach.
Pros:

The family was very nice, kind and very helpful. They organized a boat tour for me, some local shopping and the 2.5 hour drive to my next location (Albert drove me himself). The food was excellent, evrything was clean and well-maintained. The room was big and perfectly adequate. The property is almost directly by the beach, there is a semi-private beach. Otheriwse it is a little remote, but since Albert is happy to drive the guests, this is not a problem. Sunitha (?) showed me some local crafts and told me about some local customs and culture, so it was an interesting and immersive experience.

Cons:

furnishings maybe not exactly my taste ;), but fine nonetheless.

Great base for backwaters and beach just a tuk tuk from Allepuzha and Marari beach, for peacelovers
Pros:

- lovely hosts eager to make your stay enjoyable
- delicious breakfasts
- tasty food available for lunch and dinner, good value
- cheap easy tuk tuk ride to backwaters at Allepuzha (Oliver's Travels group Canoe trip recommended)
- clean, litter free little beach just in front of propetty gorgeous for swimming and sunsets.
(At first we were confused as this is not the main Marari Beach we had expected, there are no shops or beach cafes here, they are a tuk tuk ride away to the North. However, once we'd visited the beaches at Marari and Allepuzha - both littered and agoraphobically vast - we fell in love even more with the little 'private' beach in front of this homestay. With working fishermen's cottages around there is also a fast disappearing authenticity to this area).

Cons:

Nothing, All was great once we had orientated to not being on the main Marari Beach. Marari is a huge area!

Exceptional
Pros:

Albert and Sunitha made sure we had a very easy and relaxed stay, ensuring we had everything we needed. I rarely rate a place with a 10 but this place deserves nothing less than a 10.
In addition to the excellent care and lovely friendship this couple so generously give, you get an amazing private beach a few steps away.
During the sunset, we walked onto the beach and into the warm water to watch the sun set.
Definitely book this place if you are in the area.

Cons:

Nothing
