Great service, delicious food and well appointed rooms!

We had a great stay at the spice coast cruise - houseboat#7, a two bedroom houseboat. As we were staying at coconut lagoon before boarding the houseboat, we requested a pickup from there. On boarding, we had a delicious spread (vegetarian) for lunch with 5/6 curry options! we sailed and enjoyed the breeze until sunset and docked for the night when the ac in both the rooms as well as the dining area was switched on. Evening tea and snacks and dinner was great as well and we had a restful sleep. In the morning we were served a delicious breakfast and set to sail again till checkout time. The staff was extremely polite and professional and took care of each and every request of ours. We enjoyed a peaceful time on the houseboat and loved the serene sunrise view.

Excellent Stay

Marari beach resort was an extremely relaxing visit. Initially it seemed expensive but as per delved deeper into the experience it turned out to one of the most relaxing trips. The ayurveda center along with the marari beach access and the pool was good. The rooms were the best part. Food could have been better. The staff is extremely receptive. 4

As good as it can get !

The boat was stunning to say the least. Every inch of the place had details that were well though of and designed. The crew is who i would hire if i was on a voyage - experts at what they do and lovely folks to be around. If you can afford to buy this voyage, please do.
