Elara Beach House Home stay

I had a very disappointing experience at Elar Beach Stay in Alleppey. I had booked 3 rooms for 7 people well in advance (3 months before the stay) for one night, but upon arrival, we were given only 2 rooms by the caretaker. When I contacted the owner to resolve this issue, his response was incredibly rude and unprofessional. He claimed to have given us a "family room" for 4 people and another room for 3 people, which was not what we had paid for or expected. The owner did not acknowledge their mistake and instead rudely suggested that he would refund the advance payment if we wanted to leave. This was extremely inconvenient, as we didn't have the time or option to search for another place at such short notice. Additionally, the rooms we were given were on different floors (one on the ground floor and the other on the first floor), which made our stay even more uncomfortable. The lack of communication and the owner's rude behavior left a bad impression. The stay itself was not great, and the inconvenience we faced due to the mismanagement ruined the experience for us. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a hassle-free and pleasant stay in Alleppey.

We had a deluxe room. It was not clean no hot water apparently you dont get hot water in a deluxe room. We stayed 4 days 2 of those we was on a trip so was somewhere to leave our luggage. We did ask to upgrade but was told they were booked ( to our knowledge they were empty) The people very friendly and helpful but did not let us know we could use the kitchen.

I had an absolutely wonderful and affordable stay at Elara! From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The check-in process was seamless, and they were incredibly accommodating with any requests we had.

This homestay was absolutely fantastic, and I cannot say enough great things about it. Firstly, the owner Antony is an amazing person. He is accommodating, kind, helpful, and makes himself available for any extra requested needs we had (eg extra soap, emptying/replacing the garbage bin in the room). As an added bonus, he helped us to create an amazing itinerary for our entire two week stay in Kerala. This guy knows the area like the back of his hand, and if he doesnt know something he has the resources to find it out for you. Secondly, Jaison who helps run the home stay is also super welcoming, warm, and helpful. He was able to help us with any immediate needs we had, and was also nice to have friendly conversation with whenever we were casually relaxing at the flat. He is a musician, and an excellent frisbee player which he put on full display at the nearby beach. Regarding the homestay itself, it has ac available. The showers worked well, and the bathroom was in good working order. The bed was very comfortable for two people (my wife and I). There was plenty of room for our baggage. Perhaps most importantly, the location of the homestay is as good as can be. It is steps away from the beach. It is also immediately across from a local beach side cafe which has excellent Indian cuisine and good service, called Catamaran. There are also plenty of other food options that are within a few minutes driving distance. If you are staying in Alapuzzha and looking for a simple, cozy, beach house style homestay that is affordable and with friendly atmosphere, staff, and ownership, look no further.
