Sea Shell Havelock

The breakfast was very good and staff very friendly

The

Cleanliness and location

Morning breakfast spread was limited

Staff knocked on our door when we had do not disturb on, pool was dirty, beach was not as described, hairdryer was broken, room was dark and stairs precarious. Breakfast was average and provided coffee sachets rather than proper coffee.Location was good and trips were fun.

Very good property

Ground floor rooms had privacy issues. Need to keep curtains closed at all times. Needs to have plants in front so as they would form a barrier from the pathway

Very helpful staff. Good breakfast and food. Good bar. A lot of greenery. Good beach area for relaxation and walking.

Little bit crowded. Too many villas/rooms, close to pathways. More chairs could be provided near beach and in lawns.

The staff are friendly and smiling, and always willing to help the customers in case of problems.The huge garden is beautiful...the nicest of the island for sure. This is a true infinity pool, the nicest of our stay in India.

This is THE disappointment of our stay in Andaman ?. The biggest black point is the location of the hotel which is right next to a kind of power plant that is very very very very noisy day and night!!! For what we pay (especially for the expensive bungalows), we expect something else...We had bed bugs in our bungalows (we had to move to another bungalow...), my wife was bitten by the bed bugs numerous times.The prices in this hotel (very expensive in view of all the problems listed above), the water activities are expensive for what is offered. The rocky beach which is not very clean and has a lot of waste/plastic bottles.

breakfast was good. pool was good.

i was expecting the beach to be free from rocks so that we can enjoy the beach

The Andaman Chalet itself but it is only suitable for a max of 2 people.

The Beach. It is not the property's fault at all as it is located on a naturally occurring rocky beach and the hotel has done its absolute best to ensure guests are able enjoy the beach despite the location.

Beautifull hotel among green palms and awesome andamands nature.

One BIG disadvantage is power plant in the neibourhood with noisy disel generator, that completely devastate atmosphere with 24/7 tr-tr-tr sound.I don't think this hotel was initially designed to be located near such a noisy industrial place, but this is main and huge disadvantage and unfortunately there is seems no solution, except live music in the bar to hide this noise.

Location next to beach , food , staff behaviour was excellent

Beds and Bathroom could have been better

Rooms were large and very comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. Very close to the ferry terminal.Restaurants very good, had a great choice of food.

We were in 211. It was very noisey due to the power unit being next door. Was not very relaxing around the pool with this noise all the time. Needed more pool loungers.

The location is really good..provides perfect photo op throughout the day. The property is also very well maintained and the staff takes real good care. The pool is also very nice and can be utilised by the whole family. Highly recommended for family vacations.

Some more activities can be added for families that have kids below 12 who cannot go diving. Table tennis, carrom boards etc can be considered.

Breakfast was nice but a some variation would be welcome. Staff was very helpful and pleasant.There is no beach in the hotel property. Some mangrove and small stretch of sand, what you may refer to as beach during high tide. Room was a bit cluttered up, with just one Table for tea/coffee making. Curtains could be better quality.

The reception area could be made made more comfortable wit fans and air-condition in the hot climate even in late December.Guest need to checkout at 10am and need to wait for long hors. For example our 12 noon ferry to Port Blair was cancelled. Next ferry at 4pm. We had to wait at the resort for along time..

The experience here has been extremely mediocre. Sadly, expectations aren’t met if one is looking for a fine stay and dining experience at all. Cottages are the most infuriating with supremely narrow steps leading to a dimly lit bedroom on the first floor and a basic bathroom on the ground floor. There is always a risk of slipping and missing foot when one is not conscious. Even the staff falls down these flight of stairs with trays and luggage. Don’t know what the architect and owners were thinking.The team needs to learn to smile and interact more and in a proper fashion. The girls at reception desk are grim faced once check-in is done. Food is mere average, so the chefs require some brushing up of skills. If one is looking for a beach experience, this isn’t the place as the rocky beach front only provides access to scuba and snorkel.A huge shout out and the only best part about Coral Cove is the Skuba team led by Nigel and Andy and their warm, brilliant, and skilled team of instructors. They will be fondly remembered and we would dive into the sea again only with them. A thank you to Michael as well for a great kayaking experience.In a nutshell, Coral Cove is nothing but an average hotel and which does not meet any expectations.

Grumpy Staff at the reception, Nicobari Cottage( stairs are precarious), no beach, dimly lit, average food

the ambience, greenery, layout, cleanliness, maintenance

breakfast spread could have been more continental

Close to jetty . Claimed to be near a private beach but that was actually a shore used for diving boats etc rather than a Sandy beach for bathing / relaxing .Staff are helpful and courteous. We did a couple dinner which was awesome.

General condition not good . Rooms need a refurbishment . There was some mould on the shower ceiling . Hot water was scanty and used to run out after 4-5 minute of use . We spotted a snake in the resort garden area ( did report it to the staff , who seemed casual about it - I suppose it is a common occurrence considering the overall climate of the place ).Wi-Fi available but very erratic and slow .Frequent power cuts - but backup generator seemed to work ok .Payment system was very cumbersome - instead of simply taking the payment from the credit card on file , the resort has a policy of sending payment demand by SMS few weeks before the date of arrival .. paid using my card using the link provided but was unsure about its validity as it had come out of the blue .

The place is vast and lush, surrounded by a beautiful coconut grove and a mangrove-lined beach. The staff is courteous, and the service is exceptional. The in-house restaurant stands out as one of the fanciest in Havelock. They offer a range of activities, including a marine trail, scuba diving, and trekking. We tried the marine trail and scuba diving—while not cheap, both were absolutely worth it. Surprisingly, the lobster here was priced similarly to roadside eateries in Havelock, even though the rest of the menu is quite expensive.

The entire property, including the rooms, is very dimly lit. While some may find this ambiance appealing, I personally found it a bit annoying. The breakfast spread is good, but after a couple of days, it starts to feel repetitive and monotonous.

The ambience and the private beach

The lighting in the resort as well as the rooms were too dim. At least the lighting in the rooms should be improved even if the same is not done outside to preserve the wild life

Room was clean and well located, Size was good, Could do better with a few more amenities.

The property is set on a big, very well maintained piece of lush green land. The view from its beach is beautiful. The 2 restaurants on the property serve tasty food. The staff are very courteous and go beyond their remit to make guests feel special, especially those in the restaurants.

Both the rooms that I had booked had very mouldy/ damp smell. It was so bad that I couldn’t sleep on the 1st night. The bedding was changed upon complaint, which reduced the smell to an extent but not completely. I caught a very bad cold at the property (which I am still suffering from), and suspect it is due to the damp in the room.
