Beautiful nature themed resort”
The best part is it is walkable distance to kalapathar beach, so we literally stayed at the beach whole day. Staff is very polite and helpful. Surroundings are clean and huts maintenance is good. I prepared for a lot of mosquitoes but there aren't any. Overall a feel good experience and the best place we stayed in the whole of our Andaman trip.

Best Service and Location”
Beautiful resort. Loved the location. Secluded from the touristy area amidst jungle and plantation. This is my second time visiting here and I loved it even more this time because of the great service. Sukanto was very kind and helpful and made our stay a very memorable one. 10/10 would visit again.

People were so warm and trustworthy. We were three girls they made us feel so safe and helped us in all the ways they can. Food and ambience was so good and affordable. We felt it like its our second home. It was all so beautiful and an amazing experience in the complete forest stay. It was so near to the beach.

Great Unique Stay ”
The stay was really awesome and unique. Do not expect luxuries here like a resort because it's between the jungle and different experiences. They don't have power backup for a day time. But rest everything from rooms to ambience to everything. Anir Ban, the guy who was managing the resort was amazing and supported us on everything. Also the breakfast was great. Overall worth stay.

Worth the visit - Stress free relaxing experience”
Pros: - 2 min walk from Kalapathar beach - House is full of bamboo ( unlike with brick and cement ) - Full of tress around - enjoy the time with nature - Breakfast included is decent - People are nice - manager Manohar is friendly and accomodative Cons: - Resort is around 7 km from market ( centre area) -> Cabs are pretty expensive [ 500 one way], you can take bike for rent ( 400 per day), gets dark by around 5/5:30 pm -> it's a hassle to travel long everytime you need to reach resort specially in the evenings as it dark - There is only one restaurant close by while you need to travel around 4km to reach majority of other restaurant that are close by - Hot water does not come for long Overall, it is all worth the effort of the travel as the place is beautiful, you can be close to the nature, have peaceful amazing relaxing time, can hear birds chirping all the time, specially at night times and mornings when you wake up, it is nice to hear You will have unique experience - Windows are nice with nice view. Lamp on the table looks cute with 2 lamps in the room, you have a chair to sit outside the room, washroom is nice with view to the trees. You can visit beach many a times with convenience as it is 200 metre away - we took amazing walks early in the morning, evenings we sat at a hut facing beach. Beach is good for long walks - you can come across tress cut ( with trunks) on the way that make beautiful views. You see waves all the times.

Perfect for rest”
Far away from noisy India. Here in the night the only noise is coming from owls. It is on the end of the world but beach is about 300 meters and there are buses every hour to visit other parts of the island. The staff is perfect. We stayed for one week. Every evening coming back we felt we are going home. Do not forget this is a perfect butsimple jungle cottage, come here only if you like these kind of places.

Best for adventure seeking folks without small children.”
Good parts: 1. Very cost effective 2. Beautiful experience in a rainy jungle location with raindrops pattering on the thatched roof 3. There is a laddered floor within the room where the bedroom is..along with the lighting it gives an absolutely super experience Not so good parts: 1. Not advisable with small children who can fall from the ladder or the first floor within each hut 2. People fearful of reptiles may like to avoid this place because the gaps in the door and walls allow free entry of reptiles 3. During heavy rain, the roofs may leak a bit, but again part of an experience Overall, a place I would love to stay in with friends or as a couple (Not with family and small kids or seniors who may get scared).

Flying Elephant Havelock ”
The hut was amazing and well equipped with terrace & deck chairs . The bed was on a mezzanine floor - would not be good for anyone who is slightly unstable the ladder steps are steep. Very clean, laundry service available and amazing complimentary breakfast. Staff are super helpful and can arrange scooters. Downside is you are very far away from all the restaurants and the last bus is at 8.30pm back. The beach is lovely but you need to walk away from the main area. As that is very crowded. No WiFi but this is pretty much all over I think.
