Reviews summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
Aquays Hotels & Resorts on Havelock Island offers a delightful atmosphere with its well-adorned spaces and stunning ocean views, which guests often appreciate. The hotel's prime location with direct beach access is a highlight for many travelers. While the rooms are generally celebrated for their space and comfort, some guests have encountered issues with maintenance.
The service garners mixed reviews, ranging from commendations of friendliness to occasional reports of neglect. Despite cleanliness being a strong suit, there are suggestions for housekeeping improvements. The amenities, including the private beach and romantic candlelight dinners, are popular, although the cost of food and swimming pool upkeep have drawn some criticism.

Really good place with super helpful and accommodative staff. It is right up at the beach so one can sit on the beach front even late evening. The food is amazing. I highly recommend their grilled fish and lobster. The hotel is still struggling with the re-opening after the lockdown so we faced many glitches but the staff is always ready to find the solutions. I highly recommend the place.

Loved the service and the food. The staff was very cordial and server Bijay Sah was very warm and affectionate. He also took care of our every need. The hotel is situated on a lovely beach and the ambience at night is just beautiful.

Value for money: 2/5
Stayed for 3 nights during Christmas week 2019 and booked 4 rooms. Good location is the only USP of this resort. Placed on a clean beach where you can have a good family time. Outside of the hotel you will find lot of good options to eat and drink.
Apart from location and beach, the overall experience was just ok. Breakfast buffet spread was just basic. No bar in the hotel.
Linen was dirty in one of our rooms. Had to call to get it replaced. One of the room's AC was not working which resulted in room change.
Major disappointment was Christmas dinner party which was simply a money extracting mechanism of the hotel authorities. Food was really bad, seemed stale and drinks was a major dampener. They called a group (supposedly from Delhi) to perform which stopped performing after 30 mins for no reason. Had to request them to restart again so that kids can be entertained. In short, stay away form this hotel if they ask extra money for any special events like Christmas.

I was told that this is a 4 star property before I booked it. I am currently staying in it with my family but I can't wait to get out of it.
To start with, check in was about 45 mins late although we reached way after the check in time. While waiting at the reception, we weren't even served water in time. We had to go buy it from an outside shop. Drinking water that is served is filled in mineral water bottles that are already open.
The staff is inefficient and don't seem to be bothered.
Food if ordered from the menu is okay but that that is served in the buffet is pathetic. I had to wait for more than half an hour for rotis to arrive.
Wifi is not working.
The premises look dirty at places and is stinky with an open kitchen and veggies lying outside it. It is a mess to look at.
Overall, a very disappointing experience. Will not recommended it to anyone.

Amazing Experience !!!
We booked the property to celebrate our anniversary and it was a great decision. We reached havelock around 9.30 and our checin was around 12 PM but they gave us room without creating any fuss regarding early checin. The check in process was smooth. We booked lagoon plaza for 3 nights. The room was spacious and had a beautiful view of sea. The in dine experience was good. I personally felt that price of food was low in comparison to other restaurant We also opted for candle light dinner service. The decor was beautiful and quite romantic. The staff was really good and polite. Food was delicious. The price was reasonable. When you go for holidays a bad experience at hotel can ruin your vacation and I was little bit afraid. But aquays hotels gave us a beautiful experience to remember. They also have access to beach. You can just chill and relax. Overall a good experience.

We had an amazing experience. In my travels cleanliness is the major criteria. Rooms are very clean, and spacious, beach is just a few steps away from rooms so one can easily spend a romantic evening and a rejuvenating start of a day. I am happy with their service. Bijay Sah at the restaurant had been very sweet, humble and good at his work to make guests experience better. While the cost was a bit on higher side (at least for me but I guess for Andaman this is standard) but one can get memorable experience at the hotel as well.

Don't let the pictures fool you. It does not look anything like it. Had a terrible check in experience to start with, where the hotel demanded we pay an additional 6k per couple for a "mandatory new year's party". I still don't seem to understand how a party can be mandatory. The policies are so shady that to back it up they attach a pdf file to your booking confirmation with 2 lines in it that states there is a mandatory party and it is to be paid for by the customer. Unfortunately the guest has no way to know this until he has completed the booking and paid for his stay in full..! The breakfast was terrible, the pool is dirty, the sheets were sticky, there is construction going on everywhere making it an absolute nightmare of a stay. The only saving grace for this place is the short walk up to beach.

First of all the location of this property is amazing. Clear on the shore.
We were welcomed by this young male and female staff present at the property (Sorry forgot the names but a sweet girl and a boy definitely needs a pat on their back) (I guess shubhojit and girl name starts with P). Even to mention the security guard who was very courteous and generous in assisting us with the luggage.
We got to know that as a special gesture our room was upgraded and yes the room was damn pretty and spacious. We stayed in the Lagoon plaza (having sufficient room in the room, a bath tub and rich in other amenities). Pics attached for reference.
7 steps outside the room and we had a dazzling pool to relieve ourselves from all the stress and dizziness because of travelling. But we saved the pool for the evening and rushed to the crystal clear clear water with another 10 steps ahead.
Had a great time staying at the property. The staff is so courteous that next day when we left for our boat dive at 7am and returned at 11 am they had kept breakfast for us and was served hot to us at the restaurant.
Complete customer oriented staff.
I want the management to appreciate the staff for carrying tremendous job with pride and determination.
Will definitely re-visit the property to re-live the memories...

This Hotel is a pathetic excuse for an establishment with one objective - to profit from unknowing travellers. I was made to pay Rs.16800/- for a new Year's Eve party which am not interested in. And what a sham it was! The buffet dinner was pedestrian, there were 2 achors who were advertised and only one turned up, no covid protocols were being followed and you witness a party which has a production value worse than a college festival.
They are exploiting the fact that they are situated next to the beach - That is all. Rest all from amenities to food to staff behavior was below average. I have stayed in smaller homestays which do better.
