Hornbill Nest

Ahh..What a location...I planned my visit in andaman 6 months back.. Online I have gone through a lot of Hotels..Now i feel luckily i saved myself from those busy on road hotels..Dont go with pic of hotels available on online booking portal.. By seeing several reviews.. I have pinned down Hornbill nest.. My requirement was a hotel with beautiful view where i can just relax..no rush place..Initially i was in doubt that i selected a hotel little far from the city..But it wasnt the case ..Hornbill is hardly 20mins from cellular jail with beautiful view throughout the road.. My key points mentioned below for this hotel. Pros. 1. Beautiful Sunrise point ..You can see sun rise from your room..I have booked super deluxe room luckily i got that..You can try. 2. Staff was pleasing and accomadating..During our stay we always had dinner in the out doors..Just i have to stay please set the table and chair for 2 they are quick in that.. 3. I was there on 12 15 16 december lightening in the lawn walk ways were fabulous 4. Big size room, super deluxe room can accomadate a big family .. 5. All the toilteries add ons were there. 6. Packed Breakfast in the morning if informed 1 day advance, though options were limited..But its ok Cons. Some of them surely 1. Super deluxe room could be little difficult for old age people,plenty of stairs from restaurant to the room. 2. No wifi at all.. Network issue as well..Though i was getting Airtel when in the lawn. 3. During Night convence from Port blair to Resort Charges may go little high. No security issue but better you can have a word with your transportation partner to drop you in the night..It hardly takes 20mins. 4. Restaurant was ok ok..Not good Not bad 5. 10% service charges to the room all the time you order food. 6. Limited super deluxe rooms, And they goes immediately when the portal start accepting booking. Thats all from myside ..If you are looking to enjoy the view and just wana relax go for it..At this price point no hotel in PB can beat this with respect to view and comfort. Cheers Vivek

Very nice place with beach facing, you can see the sunrise from the hotel balcony, good staff(food is bad though). No other amenities available at the resort. Close to Corbyn cove resort, but away from airport ( will take 30 minutes though)

The stay at hornbill resort was very good and comfortable, the rooms and ambience was very good Staff was very courteous and helpful..i strongly recommend this property and also other properties Megapode at Port Blair and Dolphin at Havelock are very good..Our guide Gopal was very good, he is one man army, manages the conveyance and site seeing very efficiently, he can also help in hotel booking and tickets for cellular Jail..light and sound show..His contact no is 9933202151

It was a lush green property with serene atmosphere ! Staff were good and made us feel home (away from our home). Being Gujju, we enjoyed delicious khichdi made by the chef on a special request. The people are polite and helpful ! My son got his lost bag just coz of the wonderful staff ! Integrity matters. This all would not have been possible without one man, Mr Gopal - you were awesome and we mention our sincere thanks for making and organizing our tour so nicely . I highly recommend Gopal (9933202151) and Guru to plan your tour.

Stayed for 3 nights as part of a visit to the Andaman Islands. This hotel had been recommended by our trip organisers and we were not disappointed. On the Andamans we did not expect the same levels of luxury that we had experienced on the mainland and this was what we found. Hornbill Nest was very functional, with a room and facilities that we were very happy with; it was not modern, but clean, well looked after and comfortable. Our room opened onto the lower grass area, giving us a lovely view out to sea but it did mean that people walked past occasionally to other rooms and on one evening there was a social group occupying the grassy area. But this is how it was, not a problem. The dining area at the top of the hotel is open sided with great views out and a lovely cool breeze in the evening. Breakfasts were what I might call (as a European visitor) standard Indian with a fair choice and very tasty idli and sambar. The evening menu offered a good choice at reasonable (to us) prices. I have uploaded photos of the menu. Staff were friendly and helpful, in particular Ram Bal, who looked after us very well. The hotel is a bit out of Port Blair and not directly on a beach, although there was one a moderate walk away: we did not visit it so cannot comment. We would happily stay here again.
