Havelock Island Beach Resort

This was my second time I stayed at this property, last it was 2 years back in June, I must say, the property was just amazing as that time, but now they have big reception area, their private beach is just amazing to enjoy throughout, also the gala dinner night, It is amazing to go, relax and have amazing time, the USP definitely is having inhouse Dive Center, Dive Andaman, really enjoyed during scuba diving with them too. I' my friends were really happy with our stay here and I totally recommend this property. Surely visiting Andaman, Havelock visit this property! Best part is very close to the ferry point!

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!! Absolutely terrible. We were booked in for 3 nights and to be honest I couldn't even have stayed 1 night! The rooms are dated and dirty. Very small with lots of rubbish outside your door and around the grounds. The resteraunt had a pile of rubbish at the open door. There are padlocks on the doors to the rooms. No safe. So basic. There is no way this should be advertised let alone as a 4 star hotel. I wouldn't even give it 2 stars. The manager offered to change our room after keeping us waiting for ages however, the standard was so poor this was just not an option. We couldn't even get a cab from there and had to walk up the road with our luggage to find a decent hotel. Stay here at your own peril!

Have been to this resort in the first week of January, an all girl family trip, with my sister and two young girls. The staff is friendly but for the amount we have paid (being peak season according to them, basic room costed 9,440 per night), bathrooms are just average;( not dry bathrooms, not even a curtain as partition for shower area) No deep cleaning when we checked in. The bed sheets spread were also just average. The reaort as such was good with lighting and other decoration., accessible to beach for a walk; swimming pool etc. However in front of room 505 I think, a pool facing room, water was draining into an area, which has stink of drainage. I have alerted the staff there regarding this. Breakfast area was small for the number of occupants those two days and we could hardly get a seat to sit around 8 AM. Food tasted average. Even though wide spread, I would say it was below average arrangements for the crowd they expected at peak season I have booked the room by calling a number that was available online. I want to caution fellow travellers; I was given room tariff as INR 9440 initially and then even after following up multiple times to send the scan for advance payment and for confirmation, on the WhatsApp number, didn’t receive a response. And suddenly received a message increasing the room tariff. I had to argue with the concerned saying that it wasn’t my fault that the tariff keeps changing and that they haven’t responded for my messages. Out of courtesy I am not mentioning the name of the person with whom I have interacted. At the reception while check in, Mr Amit who was a new employee was very helpful, friendly and courteous. On one night it rained heavily and we were supposed to go out to a nearby place. Staff has arranged for a drop to that place❤️ But for the courteous staff, I would have rated it a 2 star for the room tariff vis a vis the amenities provided.
