We took a 2 day houseboat from Alleppey booked through the resort (beware of cheaper houseboats that will disappoint you) and had the experience of a lifetime.It was simply amazing to be able to experience and share the daily lives of the people who live by the backwaters.
Our onboard chef catered for all our needs and was always going that extra mile.When we docked at the Resort the 5* service continued.Everyone should do this - you will never regret this journey.
I would however suggest...

Xandari Pearl is a great Hotel for Marari Beach..it has pathway that goes straight to the beach. The room I had was a mini villa with a small garden and hammock. The only thing to be aware is that the toilet and shower is enclosed but open to the outdoors so may take getting used to. Also no TV in the room but wifi was fast and stable. Buffet breakfast was included which was very good, freshly made eggs and dosas every morning with a wide selection of local and international fare. There is not...

The staff were good, friendly and polite 😊
Our room was clean and decent.
Food good.
We were a bit confused about the itinerary so maybe making it clearer would be helpful to future guests.
Thank you 😊

You must stay here if you want a Heritage Property rather than a generic hotel.
Previous reviews online mention...
Swimming Pool - No damage to any tiles and is spotlessly clean.
Dated Rooms and plumbing - All the rooms have now been refurbished and are beautiful. A wonderful mix of historical designed furniture with modern amenities.
Cleanliness - The property is spotlessly clean.
Flyover / road - Yes this is ugly, no getting away from it. But we were not disturbed by any noise and it...

We stayed for 13 nights in a detached villa which was next to the beach. From the time we arrived to our depature the service at Abad Turtle beach was 6*. The grounds are beautiful & it very peaceful the only sound coming from the birds & the sea! The butterfly garden is lovely & there is an abundance of wildlife such as Indian palm squirrels, various birds & fruit bats which you will see from 5pm. It was also fantastic to sea the Sea Eagles fishing off the beach. The food in the restaraunt...

Its an amazing hotel tucked away facing the lake.
I loved the Aapams and the Mini Fishing Net.
The facilities needed to be updated such as A/C & The Shower Head
However it was a peaceful environment and the one room house boat was stunning
