Großes Zimmer, großes Bad, Ventilator und AC, liebevoll bereitetes leckeres Essen, Strand ruhig und ganz nah, das Dorf ist friedlich und freundlich, die Fischer bestimmen das Bild - auch am Strand. Vorm Zimmer eine Veranda, wo man schön draußen sitzen kann. Die Familie ist sehr hilfsbereit und war auch hilfreich bei der Organisation eines günstigen Taxis für unsere Weiterfahrt! Grüner Garten, familiäre Atmosphäre.
Man muss wissen, dass das Haus in 2. Reihe steht. Der Strand ist zwar ganz nah, aber eher Blick auf große Palmen als Meerblick.
Roomservice fiel aus, 2 Handtücher für drei Tage mussten reichen. Die Eltern sprechen nur sehr wenig englisch (reicht für die grobe Verständigung)

The beach is beautiful and the new rooms upstairs are awesome. Loved the food, the people, the service …

Calme et confortable
Un peu loin du départ dès bateaux.
Cependant d’octobre. a decembre c’est un endroit idéal car il y a une jolie plage très propre. En février il était trop chaud pour s’y rendre avant 17 h.

The hosts are warm and welcoming, and were always ready to provide anything. They did everything to make it stress free. The room was not fancy, but the whole homestay is excellent value for money. The food is home-cooked and simply fantastic!
It's a small place with 4 (soon 5) rooms, so spending time with their family and other guests is easy. The local community was also wonderfully open and friendly on my walks around. Their private beach means that you basically have it all to yourself, so if you're looking to spend some time in secluded peace and quiet (not easy in India), and enjoy spectacular sunsets, this is the place.
I would highly recommend Albert and Sunipta's place, and will certainly stay there on my next trip to Kerala!
Costs of transport, food, and trips could be more clear and told up front. The menu didn't have prices, for example, which made it challenging to budget. Not a big thing, but it brings me to my next point. Only cash is accepted. This is pretty standard in India and I understand the reasons for it, but it meant several ATM runs to get enough cash, since Indian banks limit foreign debit card withdrawals to 10 000 rs. That meant fees that added up quickly. A card machine may not be the worst thing to consider.
Details: a few more hangers in the room, another towel hook in the bathroom :)

Location was excellent and owners were very kind and helpful. Furthermore, the beach was clean and quiet which we enjoyed really much. The food served was fresh and delicious Kerala style!

Situated on the beach, Xaviers Inn was a pleasant surprise. The room was on the first floor, facing the sea. Although there was a small house between the balcony and the sea, it did not block the view. The room and bath were very clean and comfortable. Mr Albert and his wife were excellent hosts and they went out of there way to cater to all our needs and requests. The breakfast and dinner were outstanding. The sea was safe to swim and the waters very pleasant.
The locals use the sea for their morning business. Wish the local authorities would provide them with public toilets and convince them to use them!

Great location, modern look rooms, clean n comfortable beddings. Most importantly great hosts
Sanii Chetti makes delicious and sumptuous food. Make sure you bring one size larger clothing because you will end up gaining some kilos

Great stay at Marari Xavier Homestay. Only one night but Sunitha is a good host with a fun sense of humour - happy to chat to you, in my case about cookery, since I love home cooking Indian style. Nice inclusive breakfast (we kept it simple to fruit, toast, jam, but egg and local savoury dishes are available too). There are lunch and dinner options and everything we ate or saw others eat was delish! Sunitha was really helpful by accommodating my request to watch food being cooked and note recipes, and she went to extra lengths to show prep and explain what to do.
The homestay is about 20m from the beach, which we had to ourselves for swims. Didn’t experience any tricky currents; saw someone litter cleaning the beach in the morning so it’s probably cleaner than many Indian beaches. Didn’t leave the area but saw others getting tuk tuk into Allepey for a morning out.
I think there’s four rooms, the upper three share a nice wood balcony and palm-tree backdrop with glimpses of the beach.
Would recommend staying!

Excellent . Value for money. What we liked most is the hospitality of the owners . Food quality and preparation just too good and mouth watering. We were deeply touched by their attitude towards their guests. A Christian Keralite couple who played the role of a perfect host .

The food was really delicious, the private beach is lovely, just a dog passing by peet on our sandcastle but it was funny to watch from the sea, they welcomed us heartly and after they know about my birthday they organised cake cutting for me and a candle light dinner❤️🥰
We got a different room, an upgrateded room but they did not tell us that we had to pay for that room more.

Good food. Friendly staff. Easy access to beach.
Beach is not visible from room directly. Also it is not safe to go and sit in the night as there is no light and has local crowd.

The property is tucked away in a beautiful Marari beach corner, the beach is untouched and natural

Very clean, comfortable and spacious room. Excellent home made food. Owners are extremely kind and gentle. Five minutes after my arrival an afternoon boat trip in the backwaters was organised by them and they even took me for a small fee to the pier.

Yes. The food was very very good at Marari Xavier's. A delight and very reasonable priced. They were happy to organise a canoeing trip for us. Very nice was that the host taught us some of the local language. We are practising a lot. We had a really nice time there. The location is clean and very close to the nice beach with terrific sunsets. Unfortunately, the beach has a lot of rubbish on it. A sad problem the whole country India is facing. As a suggestion for improvement the next investition of the host could be buying more comfortable mattresses.
Valare valare nandi.

Ihad loads of questions stepping into this trip. But, Goodness me. What a trip it turned out to be. The hosts of this property are simply beautiful, amazing and such a lovely people. Sunitha and Albert, hosts of this property took care of me, and all guests as if they are our own. Everytime, you ask them for anything, they are ready and prepared for everything. This property has its own self private beach and its 5 mts from our room. The beach is such incredible, calm and beautiful I stayed for hours and hours just looking at its stunning sunset views and waves all day and night. The food prepared by Sunitha is such incredibleand delicious. Starting from home made authentic kerala style breakfast to all varieties in lunch and dinner. You name it and its there.. no matter what time. I requested for early check in and they said yes without a question. I asked for late check out and they are perfectly okay without hesitation. Truly genuine people and they just mingle with us with ease. They provide scooters for rent, they make us prepare for backwater rides any contacts we name, they have it. Main highlights are private beach with stunning and breathtaking views, food, quality of service and mainly hosts and their ground to earth interations with us. Looking forward to come and visit again them soon.

Very nice location to relax in front of a clean beach. There is also a beautiful lake 5 minutes away. Albert and Sunni were amazing hosts that tried to help with everything and were extremely friendly. It was hard to leave, since we enjoyed our time there a lot.
It's only like 15 minutes away from Alleppey center by tuk tuk and it's the perfect stay to relax, have a swimm and then explore the city in the afternoon.

The hosts Albert and Sunitha are extremely friendly, welcoming and accommodating. They are a warm family who are great hosts. Sunitha is a great chef who makes customised authentic kerelan meals for all 3 meals a day! Another guest celebrated their wedding anniversary there and the host family went above and beyond with decorations and cake! The room was clean. The homestay is right on the beach with great sunset views. We stayed at hotels during our trip but the experience and service here was far better!
