Tilar Siro Andamans - a CGH Earth Experience

Lovely property that embraces nature. Direct access to a nice little beach where you can swim or build sand castles in the shade. The staff are very friendly and always there to help you. Our experience was made extra special by Akhil, the naturalist and Sreelakshmi, the marine biologist who helped us plan our activities throughout our stay. They helped us rent scooters, took us to Radhanagar beach where they conducted a very detailed intertidal walk just for us, for free. It was very exciting and informative. They also conducted a block printing activity for us, which was also complementary. The activity was enjoyed by the 4-year old and 60-year old in our group alike. Akhil and Sreelakshmi were very accommodating of our plans which we kept changing. They recommended the best time to do each activity and visit each attraction. They took us on a scooter trip to the local villages, and took the time to explain the local flora and fauna and culture of the local population. At the same time they made sure that they gave us our privacy. Every morning we received information via WhatsApp about the activities happening at the property on that day, such as the beach clean up and special presentations. We enjoyed the food and local music at Tilar Siro. We especially liked the Khow Suey which is a Burmese coconut milk based noodle soup. We were celebrating a birthday during our stay at the property. Akhil, Sreelakshmi and others did a fantastic job organising it for us with lovely decorations made of natural materials (made by the in-house artist at the property) and a delicious chocolate cake! We also got a chance to attend a detailed presentation by Mr Anil, the GM, on the tribal communities in Andaman and Nicobar islands. It was truly eye-opening. Overall a wonderful experience and would highly recommend. The only downside was that the bar at the property was not open during our stay. But we were informed about this by the staff before we made our booking.

We visited Tilar Siro as a family. This stay would be one of our best experiences at any place! The rooms are great, the staff knowledgeable and very helpful and food is good too! Located on the east side of the island, they have an excellent sunrise view. It is not a large property and therefore you don't have a large crowd to deal with anywhere. There was a lot of peace and quiet and it was very enjoyable. The staff needs a special shoutout - they are very welcoming and helpful -our stay was made extra special by them! The relatively small things they did made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. They took an interest in our requirements and made arrangements to ensure that we got the best experience out of our stay - not just in the hotel but all of the island and extending all the way to Port Blair! We would definitely visit again.

Selma and her team looked after us and made me feel very special with all their birthday treats. The rooms are spacious and the garden with the hammocks, swing, gorgeous pool and the view of the beach are delightful. The staff marine knowledge is incredible and their values of sustainability showed through. Highly recommend

This property is beautful and well maintained. All staff were very warm and helpful and felt like home with these staff around. Breakfast, which is complimentary was extraordinary - they had carrot/beet juice, ginger juice, detox water which is very unique. We had one other meal with them, food was good, but, the portion size could be a bit larger. The hotel helped us to rent a scooter for few days. It was a good spot to relax and get refreshed. The island is beautiful. Ocean access from the hotel is very beautiful.

A look at the pictures is self explanatory.DIRTY, UNKEPT and extremely basic. The lobby is unappealing and looks like a kindergarden class. Staff's uniform needs attention. Constant power breaks. Unreliable wifi. The coffee they serve you is just Nescafé!!! Hotel has NO BEACH, the few square meters in front of the property are full of corals (and garbage)  so.no swimming here. Chicken walking about in the garden... Absolutely NOT RECOMMENDABLE. Havelock island not worth the money... better chose other destinations, definitely. It has ONE amazing beach, Radanagar, and you need a car to get there. Elephant beach can only reached by trecking or boat.

We had a lovely stay at Tilar Siro, Havelock. The hospitality was great, the rooms were nice and comfortable, and the natural vibe of the place made everything feel peaceful and special. A big shoutout to Shreelashmi, Radhika and Indrajit – they took great care of my kids throughout our stay. My daughters became such fans of Shreelashmi. It made the whole experience even more special for our family.
