Check out my part 1 with marari villas, lotus cottage.
This is the part 2 of my stay with marari villas. On second day we stayed in hibiscus cottage.
The cottage itself is amazing. It is completely surrounded with wooden walls. Such a cozy bedroom.

The room has a LCD TV and it has a small library with few book collections.
The other side is a small vanity area.
This is the small kitchenette inside the bedroom which has this lovely mirror.
The spacious cabinet.
This is small kitchen, which has a sink. It has basic cutleries, cutting board and knife.
This is the coffee and bevarage area. They had options like green tea, masala tea and coffee. There were kettles, tea diffuser and coffee press. They had a small fridge which had supply of water bottles, wine, beer and other bevarages. Except tea, coffee and water, other beverages are not complimentary.
The cottage is 100 years old and we can definitely see that. There were lots of tiny doors and window all around the villa.
The bathroom is a semi open bathroom.
The bathroom had all necessary supplies like hair dryer. The whole resort is eco friendly and no plastic is used.
This is the open outdoor dining area. I loved this place. I can spend hours here looking at the view.
They gave a bell, so if we need any help we have to ring this bell and the nearby staff will do the needful.
This is the view which i was talking about.
This is the private pool. Maha spend hours in this pool
A lovely place to hangout with the family.
This is the view of the villa from the pool.
This is around the villa.
A small seating area to leisure and have a lovely chit chat.
We took a short walk to the beach. The beach is like a 5 to 10 mins walk from the villa.
Such a beautiful beach with white sand. Very lovely. If you would have followed me on instagram you must have seen maha and mahi having a blast in this beach
We watched the sunset and had a great time in this beach. They provide all beach accesories for you like beach mat, beach bag, beach toys.
Now lets talk about the food. Yes we ordered french fries for maha. The french fries is not storebought or frozen. It was freshly made, hand cut and fried fries. And it was yummy with a glass a cold rose wine.
Again we ordered the thali, this time we ordered kerala matta rice. The fish curry today was coconut based and it was so good. The fish fry was delicious today. It was spicy and tangy and yummy.
I am drooling over this pictures. YUM!
We lunched with a view.
We ordered something different for dinner. The staff jeevan set the table beautifully for us.
We ordered indian style calamari roast and prawn fry.
Yummy and Juicy Chicken Burgers. All of these tasted homemade!
Chicken goujons for us!
Penne topped with tomato chicken sauce. I was drooling over this!
Overall this was a great place, check out part 1 of this review, which was about the lotus cottage which we stayed.
The resort has a well maintained property and their staffs were very friendly and respectful. Their service was good and rooms were maintained well. The foods were delicious. I would definitely recommend this resort for everyone.
