The location of the hotel is very convenient, only minutes by car from the ferry jetty. The property is very well maintained and has access to a rocky and mangrove filled beach, so swimming is not an option. Like in Port Blair and Havelock, check in and out were smooth and efficient here. Our room was specious and really well maintained. Room had tea/coffee facility, electronic safe and TV with lot of Indian channels. Attached bathroom was large with a big shower cubicle. Water heater worked perfectly and all necessary toiletries were there. All rooms have a covered seating area in front. Please note that the hotel provided free wifi really didn't work and we had to depend on our own connection. Hotel has only one restaurant where breakfast also gets served. Room service is also available. Like other hotels of the same group, breakfast had decent Indian options but western options were limited. Egg and Dose could be ordered as per one's own choice. Overall food quality was good. Staff attitude were very good and cooperative. The housekeeping even provided a multiplug upon request. Like in Havelock, a third party provides activity options for hotel guests. We wanted to do the star gazing option but due to overcast sky the activity got cancelled both evenings. Please note that the activity costs are high. Overall we had a pleasant stay at this hotel and do not hesitate to recommend.

Very prompt and neat housekeeping and service. Good hygienic food. Spacious rooms with dim lighting. Near to Bharatpur jetty. Courteous staff with great SOPs. They also have a inhouse dive centre great for fun dives. One can enjoy mangrove beach view from the property.

Room type - lagoon room Duration of stay - 1 night After our average experience at Port Blair and Havelock’s Silver Sand properties, we had our doubts about this resort. This turned out to be our best stay though. Resort is small with under 30 cottages. It has a rocky/coral beach which is not accessible barefoot but definitely one of a kind and beautiful. The whole island in general is less crowded and less commercial than Havelock. Resort is lush green and very beautiful. Rooms are decent in size and well furnished. They had most of the essentials that were missing in Havelock and Port Blair Silver Sand hotels. Mattress, pillows, sheets were clean comfortable. There is no swimming pool. Restaurant was nice and spacious. Food was mostly good, service on the slower side though. There was live music at dinner. Do take a guided tour to the natural coral bridge, it’s totally worth it.
