Hotel Megapode Nest

We booked standard rooms which i must say were really pathetic and with foul smell, we requested for room upgrade however, due to group booking other rooms were full. Otherwise view from hotel was really amazing and the restaurant was also ok ok, on day one we ordered dry cake and it had fungus on it. I would specially like to mention about Gopal Bhaiya. He is very helpful and is a center of information. Being a local from Andaman he is very well versed with all the locations, timings, details in and around port blair. We took a lot of details from him regarding local tourist destinations. He does this all for free, just to help tourists. On our last day in Port blair, he picked us from the hotel and dropped us to Central jail while taking care of our luggage. He also helped us in booking govt ferry tickets. As well as he can also arrange for hotel rooms, bookings for havelock and neil and ferries including govt and private, with very reasonable charge. He is a great human and very helpful in nature. Do not hesistate to contact him when you are in port blair. He is a one stop shop for everything. I am sharing his number below: Name: Gopal Number: 09531918600 / 09933202151

We stayed in bamboo cottage for 3 days. The cottage has an amazing wide sea view as can be seen from photos posted. Sunrise from cottage is simply mesmerizing. Lot of greenery and birds can be seen from cottage. This also means some insect problems which is natural. I have stayed in natural cottages in Assam, Uttarakhand, Meghalaya. You will find insects because you are so close to nature. The views and location is what makes insect problem very minor issue. Do not expect 5 star service as this is government property but I found service very good. You don't book government property for service. You book them because their location beats even 5 star hotels. Same is the case with Megapode Resort. Spacious rooms , property with Amazing location. Room prices are of course value for money. Restaurant food was amazing especially fried prawns and fish finger. Overall Must visit for location of the property.

Stayed here for three nights. Pretty bad experience. I had booked bamboo cottage and here are the issues we faced: 1. You have to take stairs amounting around 4 floors to reach to the room. 2. AC machines are too old and non operational. 3. Very adventurous - a poisonous spider crawled into the room and many unknown weird creatures. 4. Stained bedsheets. It's a semi government property and staff does not care about guests. We visited last week (off season) and only handful of guests staying with most of the better rooms vacant but no.. management did not consider to upgrade. In fact I stayed one night with my family in a downgraded deluxe room after paying bamboo cottage price. Staff is very rude and does not bother abt you.

Location - 4/5 A bit remotely located away from the market and not reachable by public means. Far from airport Property - Huge property with various kinds of rooms available within the same. We went for bamboo rooms and they didnt disappoint us. Bar is the add on inside this resort. Nice view of Harbor. The property has big garden to rest and chill. Rooms - 3/5 Even though rooms were clean, insects use to enter the rooms from bamboo or the trees that are located beside. We also assumed reptiles inside the property. Food - 1/5 We only ate peanuts in this hotel. They have much big menu, and we went with lots expectations but nothing was available from the menu items at any point of time. We ordered red pasta. They served white pasta that was packed some 10 days before and gave us ketchup to eat with. Breakfast options are very less and they seem to have done us some favor while serving some 4-5 options only. Service - 2/5 Too slow and unreliable. They served us tea after 50mins of ordering.

Excellent Hospitality! Good location, great food and trained staff the made my our trip awesome. The garden inside the hotel is well maintained and ambiance is simply mind-blowing. We will love to visit again and again.....
