We stayed in Nicobari cottages for 2 nights here with family in February’20. The eastward sea facing specious Nicobari cottage had one of the best views. Sitting in the private balcony & experiencing the sea view and cool breeze is soothing though near-continuous humming noise of generator across the shore or of some of the passing ships mars the ambiance. The nest is a typical government property fit to purpose with minimum required amenities. The check in was smooth. The room was clean & responsive housekeeping staff provided the needed things. They provide packed breakfast for early goers. I cannot comment on the meals since I didn’t have anything in the resort but the items in packed breakfast needs to be increased ..they provide a cheese sandwich, frooti, a banana and a boiled egg for non-veg category. The room rates are quite on the higher side considering a government undertaking property and can be booked online on ANIDCO site. The resort is nestled surrounding government establishments on a small cliff, a bit far from marker and other restaurants. So we need to have some vehicle for going to the main Port Blair market. Mr Gopal (Number: 09531918600 / 09933202151) can be of great help to organize your trip with needed reservations for visiting Jolly buoy island etc….that also with a very reasonable costing. His positive attitude, helping nature and punctuality was adorable and makes him very dependable. In short for resort..Little to complain.. Nothing exceptional.

This resort is spacious and the deluxe rooms have a beautiful view of the jetty. There is a garden next to the dining area which has a great view of the sea. There is a restaurant and bar, food quality is average. The reception area has wifi, not the rooms. The staff is courteous and the service is decent. The rooms are clean but not very well-maintained. The main highlight of this place is the view from the deluxe rooms and huts, and this resort does not disappoint in this regard.
Overall, we liked the time we spent here and would love to come back again. I would also like to recommend our guide Gopal Bhaiya, who had helped us with ferry booking and sight seeing in Port Blair. He made it easy for us to travel in a Pandemic. If you need help around the island, please get in touch with him at 9933202151, 9531918600.

I stayed in Megapode resort in a sea view cottage on 25th December 2020. In spite of the pandemic, the service was decent and the view was great. The resort provides buffet breakfast and has an restaurant for inhouse dinner and lunch. The tables look over the sea and are extremely scenic.
We also came in touch with auto driver Gopal bhaiyya for our sightseeing in Port Blair. He is an honest helpful guide who provided us with autos whenever needed and took us to all the places of interest. He priced us very reasonable and provided us with good contacts in Havelock and Neil as well. For a good hassle free stay in Andamans contact him at 9933202151, 9531918600

This resort is the proof why privatization is most required in this country. Government owned property is exactly like one would expect. The location is beautiful and the resort is spacious but I am sad that governement is doing little to uplift the infra or the services of this place. The place has the potential to become one of the finest resorts in Andaman but alas!
We took the sea view room and the view was really beautiful. The balcony was big and had enough space for 2 to enjoy the sunset. The room service was prompt and the staff was helpful but one would expect more from them since it's such a fancy resort. The food was horrible and over priced. The resort had dogs all over to the point where it can get scary to walk in the night. The resort provides cab services but it's pretty expensive. Pickup from the airport is free but not the jetty so check once before booking the cab.
All in all this is a decent stay with room for a lot of improvements.

We really enjoyed our stay at Megapode Nest. Room was clean and comfortable, food was great and enjoyed the gardens. We will definitely stay here on our next visit to the Andaman Islands. The location was convenient to catch a ferry to Havelock and Viper Islands

We spent 3 days at the resort. Located in central part of Port Blair offers beautiful view of the sea from the restaurant and cottages. The semi deluxe rooms don't offer sea view but are reasonably sized.
Food during lunch, dinner is nice, bar is decent but breakfast is basic.
Staff is very helpful and we enjoyed our stay.

One of the best view you can have in Port Blair. Located in peaceful environment. It’s resort hotel and government property, adequately maintained, don’t expect five star amenities but neat and clean room with all essential amenities, good food, good service and very reasonable price in a hotel of this standard. Would highly recommend it.

It was worst hotel, I have ever seen in my life. I with my wife and two kids visited there on 14 august 2010. In the night of 15th august 2010 at 1.00 am, a person came inside my room by breaking the glass of bathroom. We were quite tired and in deep sleep at that time. Listening some noise my wife wake up and shouted who is there, but the person was remain in our room. She again shouted and this time I was wake up. I was also shouted. He was only in half-pent and no clothes on his upper body except a towel at his shoulders. Now the person walked away with his most confidence. He was never in hurry.
I called at reception. The Receptionist told me that they are coming in a second. But nobody came upto 20 minutes. I called them again and again over telephone but nobody has picked up my calls. Then I called the manager of Hotel over his Mobile. He told me that I would do something. Then my phone was picked up by the receptionist. Thus after half an hour of the incident the staff members came in our room. We were quite afraid as we have kids with us and felt helpless and moreover paralyzed.
After one hour of the incident manager came in my room and asked the staff members how this incident happened. Meanwhile a security person came with the towel and showed us the towel. That was the same towel. According to him he found it some 200 meters from our room in a bush.
We were told not to lodge a complaint in the police, as it may create inconvenience to us only and assure us that we will picked up the person within few days. Till date there is no development even after my repeated follow up.
I am sure; the staff of the hotel was involved in the incident. The reasons are as follows: -
1. How the security personnel has found the towel within 10 minutes at night in jungle. 2. Why has the receptionist not picked up the phone? 3. Why have they not came in our room till 30 minutes? 4. Why was the burglar in utmost confidence? 5. Why have they persuaded us not to make a complaint in police? 6. Why was no action has been taken against the erring staff even after my repeated follow up?
Now I have decided to take up the matter with higher officials against the hotel staff. Till date we feel afraid by the incident.

This was my second visit to port Blair. Megapode nest is a grand place to stay. It’s a nice property for your budget. megapode resort is a three star property located at port Blair. It’s one of the most charted luxury resorts in port Blair. This resort located on a hillock commands spectacular natural view of the exotic bay of Bengal and surrounding greeneries.
Antilog Vacations offered us a 7 day package and Megapode was our stay amongst 2 hotels for the trip.The tour was good , all inclusive flights etc and cheaper than what other agents had offered us.It also turned out to be nicely executed one
We stayed at nicobari cottage. The thatched roof nicobari cottages have bath tub, refrigerator and balcony overlooking sea. The nicobari cottages in this resort are popular among other cottages. The views from the room are breathtaking and fascinating. The huge room made us more comfortable. The room was cozy, spacious, good ambience and clean. The hotel offers 32 inch LCD TV in rooms. The night view of the sea from lobby was superb with cool gentle wind striking from all directions. The place is simply awesome.
The hotel staffs are very helpful and friendly to us .Narayan from Antilog arranged our sightseeing trip. The food menu at the hotel was simply delicious. The food they served us was pretty tasty. All kind of sea foods are available here. I ordered crab it was simply superb. You can enjoy all the facilities what you need. There was absolutely privacy, silence and since the balcony is east facing, it has shade for most part of the day except early morning. It’s a perfect place to put your feet up and hair down and lounge for the entire day.
The people who are willing to go for a trip to Andaman then this are the right place to choose. Close your eyes and book megapode nest. It’s a worth visiting place. Choose your rooms at nicobari cottages it’s a nice place to visit once in your life time. Overall it’s a good place to stay. Thanks for all to give such a memorable moment.

Check in at 10am and check out at 9 am. But they have early check in and late check out depending on room availability. If I am not wrong as we checked out a bit late.
There are more places to choose from in the Port Blair area.
