Seclude Kerala, Marari Sands

We family a group of 10 adults and 3 kids visited the marari sand resort in April 2025 for two days. We stayed in 4 rooms with a pool view.In my view this property is good for guests from abroad and those who just want a silent beach stay and those customers who don't have much specific requirement on facilities and amenities. The entrance road to the resort also not good and riding at night for the first time feels odd. The main highlight of the property is direct beach access however the sea is steeper on that side making it risky to get down especially with kids.The complimentary breakfast was also found missing for a good package that we booked. However they provided a complimentary dish of 5 curd rice we ordered on one day. The paid breakfast buffet arranged was ok. The live kitchen counter near the breakfast area was not there. They took orders and went inside to make the same making the buffet not live. The food was ok. The cost of all food in the menu seems to be on the higher side. We feel staff were not so keen to take orders of the ala crate menu as they said they have only less staff to manage the food requirement of all the customers . We have taken food outside at a budget friendly hotel nearby. They have In door activities like carom board, table tennis only. They have provided cycles to ride and rackets to play badminton. The outdoor play area for volleyball is there. But the ball is old to play. The wood swing and web swing in the beach area is good to relax. The swimming pool size is ok to accommodate 10people at a time but the maintenance of the pool is not good. The kids pool is also small. Near the pool and the bath area is full of dust and leaves with the same dust on the leg we have to get into the pool. Small dried leaves were present in the pool. The roof of one of our rooms was leaking during the rain on the night. The water inside the flush tank comes in slight yellow colour may be due to recycled water.The intercom facility was also not available in rooms.We have to call the manager for all requirements in mobile only. And service available from morning 8 to night 10 only. The dampness on the floor which may be due to the near sea always makes the room dirty during foot steps. Overall the stay was ok but i feel the management has to put some more effort in maintaining the property to attract more local travel lovers also.

It was such a wonderful stay. The best stay in our whole Kerala trip. If you are a beach lover this is your final destination and believe me its worth for the price. Nadeem is really good host and provides all support for us. We will revisit if we get chance again. Would recommend everyone.

We had an amazing time here. We came on a yoga holiday and it was a perfect location. All of the staff were super friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. They were fun and wonderfully friendly The food was excellent and the rooms very comfortable. We had gorgeous massages, a cooking demonstration, and a superb Indian traditional dance display

Had a lovely relaxing stay. Right next to the beach. Fabulous outdoor shower (but private). Staff could not have been lovelier. Great excursion on house boat and amazing temple visit. All quite low key and very friendly. Massages etc also available

This is my second time in Seclude Marari. Beach + Pool + Food is my kid's primary need when we go for short getaways. So Seclude Marari is a perfect fit for me. The location of the Resort is very good. It's very close to the beach with direct beach access. It is almost like a private beach of the resort so it is not crowded and is well maintained with Loungers and beach showers. We can access the swimming pool even late in the night . Unlike other resorts where they put a restriction of 7 pm. Restaurant has limited options and we need to pre order couple of hours ahead. Food is a bit expensive but tasty. Their Afghani Shahi korma and Paneer Butter masala are a must try. Staff is super cool and always there to help us with any concerns or requests.

The serene beachfront location is stunning, perfect for a peaceful getaway. The rooms are spacious and well-maintained, with a beautiful view of the sea. The food was delicious, with a variety of authentic Kerala dishes that were fresh and flavorful. The hospitality truly stands out—friendly, attentive staff made the stay even more enjoyable. Special mention to Nadeem and Praveen. I highly recommend !!!
