After 2 weeks in the heat and smoke of the big city we needed a total chill out. From the moment we stepped through the gate Marari Dreamz began to weave its spell.Allwyn is such a gracious host; he and Jency made us feel like one of their family, starting with a welcome cup of tea whilst Allwyn gave us a great introduction to the area and all the possibilities for our stay. He then showed us up to ‘Sky Retreat’ a lovely room above the main house with a large shady veranda with a view of the invitingly cool pool and the beautiful garden full of fruit and nut trees. The air conditioned room was beautifully cool and the open air shower was a romantic touch. As the sun set we could smell wonderful aromas from the kitchen which was shortly followed by the first of a succession of delicious Keralan meals, incorporating the fantastic fresh seafood which we were able to watch being landed directly not to the beach the following day. Allwyn, Jency and all their staff could not do enough to help us, nothing was too much trouble. If you want to stay somewhere far removed from the corporate sameness of big hotels, where you are greeted as a friend, then Marari Dreamz could be the place for you
