Havelock Eiland: Goedkope Vakanties

The spa was relaxing but little expensive for Andaman

Beautiful expansive property with the most welcoming and helpful staff. Taj never disappoints.

WARNING: HOTEL UNDER RECONSTRUCTION! This text should be clearly shown on all websites advertising this hotel instead of the current hidden notes (which we either did not notice or were not there when we booked). The hotel is undergoing a serious reconstruction which is nowhere near finish and the swimming pool is closed for safety reasons. The main reason why we booked this hotel is its pool which is still advertised by Fortune and its booking agents. We were tricked into booking this hotel by the misleading advertising! We were disappointed but decided to stay in the hotel for the booked 3 nights just because our booking was non-refundable and EUR 125/ INR 9,700 per night is a lot of money to just through out of the window. On a plus note, the staff was friendly and the rooms were quiet and nice(except that we had to move from a standard room to a sea-view room for the very last night because the A/C was leaking into the room). The hotel bar has a great view of the bay but the atmosphere is simply spoiled by the noise from the reconstruction and the workers balancing on a shaky scaffolding just a few meters away. So again, BE WARNED: seriously overpriced rooms for a hotel under reconstruction without a swimming pool! Message to the hotel/booking agents: be more transparent and stop misleading your customers! If a hotel facility is not functional, do not advertise it as one of its main features!Such advertisement qualifies as misleading and is illegal.
