Hotels near Mini Zoo, Port Blair

Rooms are very neat and well maintained. 5 to 10 mins drive to port, water sports complex and airport which made our commute time less. Food is tasty but limited options available. Staff are very humble and receiving. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly.

The property is good, with nice rooms and great restaurants. What i missed is that there is no swimming pool in the property and no beach. Got a ground floor room with no view. Requested for upper storey room, bu refused.

Shower fitting was not in very good condition 2. ⁠small bed, queen size Port Blair: Its a cute town and can be conveniently and economically explored on scooter if that suits you. Ideally you should keep 3 nights for port Blair. Things to cover- cellular jail- carbyns cove beach-chidiya tapu-few islands nearby To do: Cellular jail is worth a visit and the light and sound show is not to be missed Carbyns cove beach is also worth a visit. The coastal road to this beach is very beautiful. If you have time you can plan both sunrise and evening visits. On the way to carbyns cove there is Flag point which is a must visit specially post sunset hours. There is a very patriotic feel to this place. Its a beautiful view seeing tri colour waving high in the backdrop of ocean and island and with some historical context to it which can be read there, the point has been nicely maintained and you can sit there and spend some time enjoying the breeze and views Autos can be found easily in port blair. It is better to hire autos for sight seeing then taxis which charge exorbitant rates The marine museum is a must visit. Its small but very informative and sets a context to the andaman trip, we visited towards the end of trip and were able to relate to the exhibits there and learned a lot about the islands and life. Anthropological museum can be skipped Annapurna cafeteria is a good local eatery. Reasonably priced and good food You should definitely make a visit to chidiya tapu.

The design of the rooms are excellent. ”Design” is what came to our mind when we stepped into the room we had booked for our stay in Port Blair for the start to our honeymoon. All the facilities which were advertised and promised were readily available at our beck and call. TV, Hot water, Clean sheets, Room service, Meals and yes free+fast Wi-fi as well. The food in the in-house restaurant is very tasty. Be sure to order the Chili cuisines, like Chili Aloo or Chili Gobi. They are excellent, and even the veg meal tasted as good as non-veg. The staff is courteous, and tries to solve all your problems. You won't grudge tipping them. The ambience is family friendly and couple friendly in the same time. The location is not too near the airport or the beach, neither too far from either of them. Overall it was a great experience.

Coral Reef resort at Swarajdweep ( Havelock island) was really amazing. We five couples had a great time there for 3 nights & 4 days. Coral reef at Vijaypuram( Port Blair) is just average. The facilities at Swarajdweep resort are magnificent. Food was awesome and Mr Birendra and his team deserve accolades for the sumptuous helpings as well as excellent behaviour. All the staff members at the reception, cleaning and house keeping were highly efficient and cordial. Evenings at the resort were a special treat with the mellifluous voice of Mr Sushant , the vocalist . He is a young talent and we thoroughly enjoyed his English numbers with innovative Hindi ones. He invited the audience to participate which our group as well as other guests did with great penchant. All in all a very memorable holiday at this resort in Swarajdweep that deserves 10/10
