De Foret

We stayed for four nights and found it very relaxing and comfortable. Staff were good but the price of food and drinks were too much.

Breakfast was average. Location is the only good thing about the hotel

Poorly lit room and ignorant staffs

Check in check out excellent. Prem's warm smile made our day.

When you switched off the lights, they go off immediately and gets very dark. They should stay on a bit longer.

Excellent pool, clean and spacious rooms and an open air bar

Beautiful, green and a lovely pool. Chef Rajat gave us an outstanding dinner

clothes drying rack has tone provided in the bathroom. Everyone has hung it on the balcony rails and chairs in full view.. that looked terrible

Ideal location, beautiful setting and great room. The staff were helpful, friendly & polite. Housekeeping were particularly helpful & the room cleaned & linen etc changed daily. The food was very good, compliments to the Executive Chef. A great stay, would strongly recommend..

The room had only one large (king size) bed and we would have liked twin beds. This seems to be common in many hotels in India.

Charming ambience with greenery and unique decor. Staff members were very polite and helpful.

Some of the furnitures (chairs) are not comfortable having no back support.

Certain members of the staff were really good and helped make this holiday great for us. Special mention to Abhishek (looks after the restaurant operations & bar) who went out of his way to make sure that we are able to have a decent time there. Also Suraj at front desk was quite supportive. The cleanliness, good rental bikes etc were good. Thank you De Foret team

Food wasn’t food in general. Including breakfast which was sub par in terms of taste & preparation. Abhishek helped us out in identifying certain dishes which were better during dinner. However, overall mediocre / less than mediocre food. Location is slightly in the middle of nowhere, though really peaceful. So one needs to arrange for cabs/bikes to travel anywhere (inc Radhanagar beach)

Awesome place, huge rooms, delicious food and friendly staff made it an amazing experience. The property is simply stunning. And the food is among the best anywhere I’ve had. Chef Rajat takes special care of the guests’ tastes and preferences. The breakfast is lovely with a wide choice for vegetarians too. Every meal was memorable and a special mention for the walnut pie, which the chef recommended as a vegetarian dessert option. Packed one for the return trip. Tandoori dishes, Chinese, or the chef’s choice of lobster, were simply delicious. Restaurant staff also deserve a special mention for the attention they pay to the guests. Highlight of our Andaman trip.

There’s nothing not to like

Hotel is located in quiet place which is very suitable to us .Staff were very friendly and we enjoyed floating breakfast that was amazing

Breakfast was good. Rooms were excellent

Check out timings are too early. Food is very very expensive

My father and I spent two nights at the charming and cozy De Foret resort.LocationDe Foret is situated on the western side of Swaraj Dweep Island (also known as Havlock Island), approximately 3 kilometers from the picturesque Radhanagar Beach. This beach, one of the few Blue Flag beaches in India, is renowned for its stunning beauty. The resort is nestled atop a small hill, almost concealed within the lush greenery. It’s conveniently located near Elephant Beach, which is about 2.5 kilometers away. This scenic route to Elephant Beach is accessible via a mildly challenging hiking trail.However, it’s essential to exercise caution when attempting this trail during or after heavy rains. The path becomes extremely muddy and treacherous due to the tree roots.The ExperienceWe arrived at De Foret around 11:30 am and were promptly greeted with refreshing welcome drinks. The check-in process was swift, and we soon found ourselves in our beautifully appointed room. The resort’s structures are meticulously crafted from wood, seamlessly blending with the surrounding forest.De Foret boasts its own restaurant and bar, conveniently located next to a well-maintained swimming pool.The facilities in our room were adequate. We were provided with a 2-liter bottle of water and an ample supply of tea, coffee, milk, and other essentials. The room also featured a mini bar stocked with a limited selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The bathroom was spacious and well-stocked with toiletries.The hotel’s policy requires guests to inform the reception if they require any changes or want their room cleaned. For instance, during our second day of stay, we requested the replenishment of tea bags and water, and the request was promptly fulfilled. We opted not to bother with room cleaning as it was already in good condition. I appreciate this approach.We were pleasantly surprised by the hotel’s fast and reliable free WiFi.

The property developers have grip on exact needs of guests, and it shows - from location to cuisine ?

The glasses in the room have to be robust, not tall & thin glass, which can be injurious if it breaks. Actually one did break.

De Foret Hotel on Swaraj Dweep (Havelock Island) is a fantastic choice for those seeking a premium stay in the Andamans. The hotel exudes luxury and comfort, complemented by exceptional service from the staff, who were always courteous and attentive to our needs.The location is another highlight, situated close to the beautiful Radhanagar Beach, one of the most stunning beaches in the Andaman Islands. It’s convenient for enjoying the beach while still being tucked away in a serene environment.The rooms were impeccably clean, spacious, and tastefully designed, offering a perfect retreat after a day of exploring the island. The attention to detail in maintaining the property is commendable.Overall, De Foret Hotel provides a perfect blend of luxury, convenience, and warm hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Swaraj Dweep!

The service, the restaurant, the chef and his team, the out-of-menu Chef Rajat offered time after time.

9.00 am check out timing: our ferry got cancelled we had to sit at the reception for over 4 hours. (The resort was sold out hence they could not extend late checkout for us).

I liked the room, very spacious, clean & hygienic. Staff was very courteous, they did everything possible to make our stay comfortable.Food was good, with great taste, little costlier though.

The location is very nice. Property ambience is cool...

Food quality is poor... staff is okay...

Beautiful place, rooms were really good and the customer service is excellent.

The restaurant food is good but not great

The property is located in a lush green tropical setting. You can hear the nature every morning. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Started off with their online payment system- which would not accept any international Visa cards.The property looks clean but some basic hygiene is missing in the rooms. Also there was no hot water available in 2 of our rooms on two separate days. It was resolved after calling the front desk. Internet is available but very choppy(don’t count on it). The food at their restaurant is wayy overpriced as compared to the general island. A coffee is INR 300 plus taxes. My child fell extremely sick after eating their chicken spaghetti preparation. There is one doctor available on the island and while she is excellent, he clinic is far and she treated us well and administered 3 drips and medication to get better from the severe infection from the spaghetti chicken eaten at de Foret.

Rooms were spacious and neat.. breakfast was decent??

What was supposed to be a nice quiet retreat turned out to be a loud noisy affair.. but the fault wasn’t the hotels.. it was families with lots of kids?Property is not very big only a pool and dining area for frolickin!!
