Marari Umapathi is a perfect place to stay for everyone, meaning solo traveler, couples, and even small to medium sized group or family of 4-8 people. Rooms are spacious and clean. You have full privacy with all requirements taken care of. The hosts prepare delicious homely typical Kerala style food. The homestay is just 7-10 minutes walking distance thru the sandy lane to the beach. The hosts made sure we were well looked after and had a good time. The homestay is built like an old courtyard style, meaning all rooms open into small garden area which can double up as a dining area. The entrance pathway and the courtyard is very cozy and charming due to the Warli paintings done by the hostess and the antique decor. This is a perfect one for those who expects tasty food, excellent hospitality and a better stay surrounded with the comfort of plants and trees. Overall an excellent stay if you prefer privacy with homely comforts in a lush green environment yet having all the modern comforts & convenience to visit all the nearby tourist spots such as the sprawling beach, historical 16th Century Arthungal Church/Basilica the largest shrine of St Sebastian in the world, the church known as Arthunkal St. Andrew's Basilica. We loved our stay and will definitely visit again.
