Awesome
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Xandari Pearl Beach Resort.The place is calm,green and beautifully maintained. Villa was spacious with a lovely open shower and a plunge pool that made the stay even more relaxing. Resort has its own private beach access which cleaned and peaceful.They offered many complimentary activities like kayaking and paddling in a small pond,cycling around the property,kite flying near the beach,yoga sessions in the morning and cultural programs in the evening..The restaurant served the delicious food as well.More importantly all the staffs go went above to make our stay more enjoyable and memorable.Highly Recommended.

Cons:

Nothing

Truly exceptional and a wonderful experience.
Pros:

Had a really lovely stay here with the family. The property was great, and every staff member we came across, from the front desk to the maintenance team, was polite, friendly, and welcoming. There were plenty of activities at the resort, and we really appreciated the staff helping look after our baby while we went for a short kayaking session. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and definitely money well spent. We’d love to come back again for a few days on our next holiday.

Cons:

Nothing major to complain about, but just a couple of areas that could be improved. The Wi-Fi was down on our first night and only got fixed the next day, so that’s something that could probably be checked before guests check in. The other was the food - it was decent, but for a 5-star resort we were expecting a bit more. It wasn’t bad, but just not something that really stood out for us. That said, these were only minor points and didn’t take away from what was otherwise a truly exceptional stay.

Lovely stay on Marari Beach at this beautiful resort
Pros:

Really beautiful rustic hotel. Friendly staff and lovely rooms. Really enjoyed the quiet and calm of the resort. The pool was great too - especially for small children as it had a nice sized toddler area which they can walk about in. The staff were very attentive and helpful. Responsive to our needs. Good was delicious too. The hotel have access to the beach which is beautiful and clean. The grounds are lovely too - lots to do - feeding cattle and fish.

Cons:

There could have been more choice of snacks throughout the day available to cook. And food preparation times were quite slow.

Xandari gave me a peace of mind that I needed .. thanks
Pros:

The layer out of the villas, the quietness, the nature and the location.
And not to forget the staff who makes the place a heaven on hearth , Angel (waiter) Grace (gardener) stood out 🙏🙏

Cons:

Honestly I couldn’t find anything wrong with the property.
Just take those plastic covers on top of the restaurant roof away , they spoil the beauty of the building

Es ist alles so wunderbar und geschmackvoll gestaltet. Die Unterkunft hat einige Schritte in Richtung Nachhaltigkeit unternommen. Das fanden wir bemerkenswert. Das Personal war unglaublich freundlich. Das Essen war ebenfalls sehr lecker.

Pros:

Property location. Overall look and feel of the resort.

Cons:

Food is just average or below. Seafood is frozen and not fresh according to the Head Chef. Not something one would expect at a beach resort.

Pros:

Lovely garden and restaurant area, nice food, friendly staff and atmosphere. Rooms are in attractive separate villas, spacious and well-equipped. Open air bathrooms but plenty of mosquito sticks provided to keep the mosquitoes away (which worked). The beach is a couple of 100 metres along a grassy path and is beautiful and largely empty.

Cons:

There was very little beach seating. More comfortable seating and sun loungers on the beach would have been welcome.
The villas are all enclosed within a walled off garden, which makes them very private but also no view from the room.

Wonderful day with family.
Pros:

The resort is a stone throw away from the beach. Beach is clean and well maintained sandy beach. Resort itself is is very well maintained and great ambience in the middle of greenery and well maintained gardens. Kids had lot of fun doing palm leaf crafts , cycling , kayak and paddle boating. The kite flying in the beach kept them engaged. The common swimming pool was very clean and great for the kids. They really enjoyed it. Food was great. Chef personally greeted us to understand our preferences as we are vegetarians. He tried to accomodate as much as possible. Breakfast was brilliant as well with local food to continental. Staff were very courteous and helpful and kept good care ofnthe guests. Overall a great experience and we would definitely love to visit again in future.

Cons:

Option for vegetarian food could have been better. But they clearly explained that this is because of the contingency measures taken due to LPG shortage as a result of the war.

Wonderful, relaxing and rejuvenating. The perfect way to end the holiday in Kerala.
Pros:

Small luxurious resort set in beautiful gardens with access to clean beach. Very close to Kochi airport. Fabulous, friendly and helpful staff. Delicious food and cocktails. Private plunge pool in villa a big bonus.

L'accueil comme on aimerait le rencontrer partout
Pros:

Bungalow de taille très généreuse et très bien équipé. La literie (king size) est de top qualité
Le restaurant propose une excellente cuisine et les petits-déjeuners sont parfaits.
Le plus remarquable est la gentillesse de tous les collaborateurs de la structure (réception, service, restaurant, jardiniers, etc...)
Très bons soins ayurvédiques. Nous recommandons absolument :)
