Nice resort with some pecularities

Resort is in a nice wild garden, close to the Kalipur Beach. I rented a bungalow without air condition for a reasonable price. Restaurant and service was good. Unfortunately, I have not seen turtles. Owner told me that he will inform me when turtles come, but there was no further feedback. He was finally more interested to hang around with an older lady from Israel. I did not want to disturb them.

Home away from Home, in a True sense.

Excellent Beach Resort with picture like village ambiance having it's own veg-fruits-flower garden without any manure, and it's products are prepared in guest's lunch and dinner plates. Unique ideas of it's owner Alex Rajan, who himself coordinates everything with his team and guests. We felt ourselves like his family members, stayed two days in a homely atmosphere and enjoyed fresh mangoes, bananas on the breakfast table and deshi chicken and fresh sea fish in meals. It's a life long lovely memories. My sincere thanks to Alex Rajan and his team for such wonderful arrangements in such a remote location. I shall visit again if opportunity comes. Without visit to Diglipur, Andaman trip is incomplete.

Pristine just like it's name suggests

Diglipur was not on my itinerary, but was highly recommended. A friend said speak to Alex and he will sort everything out. Alex is the whole and sole, keeping the place running,and supervising an extremely efficient staff. He managed our entire itinerary, on places to see, transport etc. He even took out time from his busy schedule to make it a point to sit with us for drinks on both days. As a solo traveler, he put me in touch with another traveller, to help save on the travel costs. Will start with the resort. Rooms are clean and well maintained. They seemed almost new. A comfortable bed, hardly spent anytime in the room, apart from sleeping. The restaurant food was excellent. Staff quick and efficient. The food was amazing. Recommend the Nicobari Fish, which stood out as different. Diglipur as a place does take time to reach. Ross and Smith Island is the main highlight. There is also a trek to the highest point of Andaman. While I skipped that, landed up swimming across to Craggy Island, around a 800m swim. I am a diver, but was surprised to see such beautiful corals. Diglipur overall is still untouched and Pristine resort is thr place to be when visiting there.…

"A piece of paradise to oneself"

It is an abode in nature, rooms surrounded by lush greenery, a beach at stone's throw distance. I would review this place for the experience we had as part of our stay! The host, Alex, charming and wonderful at showing you a piece of his home, felt that way. The little things, a late check in, and a late night, they helped out with dinner upon call. A vehicle broken down along the way, Alex was willing to help us out with options the next day! Rooms perfect with all amenities as needed. The best seafood I had during the entire andaman travel was here, courtesy a conversation between my mom's friend and the chef/host! What's unique and memorable about this stay is the experience that was curated by Alex and his staff! Of conversations on his boat at the restaurant, star gazing nights at Kalipur and the many snippets and stories exchanged! I wish we had spent more time here, I'm sure to do upon return! If you are looking for a place that is truly pristine amid nature, find yourself here!…

We loved almost everything about this place

The place is very remote, but also very comfortable. Once you are here this is were you eat most of your meals and hang out. But it is lovely place to hang out! We spent 6 days here, mainly enjoying Craggy Island, the island just outside the nearby beach. Great snorkeling! They gave us 2 twin rooms which fitted our family situation perfectly. The rooms were clean and pretty and with AC, TV and hot water. WiFi (slow) was avaialble 2 hours every morning. The staff and owner are super helpful and the atmosphere is very friendlyl We were here during turtle nesting season but never managed to catch a climpse of them. But the beach is close to the hotel so you get many chances. The food was good but could benefit from some more variation, and some drinks would had been nice.

Thanks a lot sir,it was great to have you staying with us.Today the Wifi speed is better to respond,we hope as soon as the under sea cable connects Andaman with mainland by April 2020 we would have better speed. As per your suggestion we would definitely work on more variant in our organic menu. Thanks a lot again sir.

Nice for the Area

Close to nature and close to the beach but not on the beach. Room was spacious and comfortable enough. Nothing fancy. Bed was comfortable. TV had no signal to it. WiFi is limited to 7:30Am to 9Am ONLY. I understand this is mandatory for the area they are in. The food is excellent here and they will prepare some special request as they do want to please.

Great location, very good service

Pristine Beach resort is just off the Kalipur beach. Please note that there is no direct beach access from the property, but it is just a 5-minute walk to the beach, nevertheless. The day we got there, the person manning the front desk was very harried and hassled as apparently a numer of key staff were off on Christmas vacation...and we had some challenges with the check in. Barring that, the staff are generally very polite, efficient and friendly. The resort is quite spacious, with the typical beach shack/cottages. However they have recently constructed a concrete monstorosity right opposite the reception area (apparently to create alternate accommodation in lieu of some 12 cottages that they lost out as part of land acquisition for Diglipur airport). We, unfortunately, got to experience this concrete monstorosity. The rooms itself were neat and clean, but you dont expect to stay in a concrete block when going ot a beach resort, especially after having seen the alluring images of the more nature-friendly shacks/ cottages The food in the restaurant is quite good while not exceptional. But the icing n the cake is really the proximity to the Kalipur beach- where you have a chance to see turtle nesting. We actually saw an Olive Ridley turtle laying 111 eggs on the second night that we stayed there! ***Note: If you do go to Kalipur beach to watch turtle nesting, PLEASE be mindful and sensitive to the turtles- and give them some space to do their thing. Avoid overcrowding, posing for selfies, using camera/phone flashes, and bright torches and noise. PLEASE.…
