I stayed at Mandala Beach House for two nights recently. Jay and Su are such lovely guys. From meeting me at the boat jerry to arranging a takeaway to be delivered to me on the beach that evening they made me feel welcome and comfortable straight away. Su helped me arrange a canoe boat trip on the backwaters (personally dropping... More

My brother and sister in law stayed here when they were visiting in India and I joined them from Mumbai for a weekend on a houseboat which Su had arranged. His attention to detail was flawless and he made sure everything regarding the houseboat rental was effortless. He even arranged taxi's for our transfers to Fort Cochin and was there... More

We had a great time at Mandala Beach House, the guys who run the place are really helpful, chill, and we had a great time staying at their place. The rooms are clean (a bit old, but clean compared to most rooms in India), big, and the fan is nice and strong. Our room even had a plug in thing... More

Su and Jay are the nicest people in all Kerala...I enjoyed my time so much that I had to return there twice :). So within my 5 months trip through India I spent a total of 28 days in Alleppey. In case the rooms are already booked, Su and Jay hook you up with nice rooms at their friends place... More

We stayed at Mandala Beach House & Cottages for five nights in February. We actually didn't want to leave. The beachhouse has a great seaview with dolphins jumping in the morning. Su and Jay are very friendly and can arrange a beautiful canoetrip through the backwaters with guide Anthony. You can have your food delivered from a good restaurant in... More

Stayed at the Mandala twice while we travelled around Kerala. Although the room was a bit basic it was an ideal stopover as we made our way from North to South. Our room was situated up a short flight of stairs to a small balcony that overlooked the beach and some great views. The best part about staying at Mandala... More

Stayed here with a friend and the experience really added to our memories of Kerala. The place is simple but well-kept with nice flowers, hammocks in a shady area, and the possibility of chairs on the beach. At night it would have been magical with some lanterns so you could sit overlooking the beach and read, but there were lights... More

Chill. That’s the best way to describe this place. Simple cottages on a beautiful strip of beach, cute beach neighborhood, with a charming helpful host. Shout out to the friendly accommodating manager, a young guy named Su. We arrived at Mandala after a long day of travel from the hills of Wayanad, and Su set us up on the beach... More
