Dolphin Resort Review - Havelock Island - Andaman and Nikobar Island

 Friends,

I stayed at Dolphin Resort in second week February of this year. The climate was very warm.


Booking: I booked the room in this resort 3 months in advance. This is a government resort and first choice of most of the visitors. So you need to book in advance.You can check in anytime. The check out time is 8:30 a.m.


Best time to visit: The best time to come here is from November - February. It will be better if you visit in start of November. Otherwise, it will be very warm after that.


Location: Once you reach Veer Savarkar Airport at Port Blair; take a cab to reach the jetty. It takes 2-4 hours to reach Havelock Island from Port Blair. Once you reach at  Havelock Island jetty, you can take a taxi to reach Dolphin Resort. The Dolphin Resort is located at 3 km from Jetty. The Dolphin resort is located near Beach#5 of the Havelock Island. The nearest beach is Vijaynagar Beach. You will fall in love with resort as soon you will visit. The resort has rooms of different price range. All the rooms are like Nicobari Huts. My room was in front of the beach only. I took VIP Cottage.

VIP Cottage (AC) - Rs. 2000/-
Deluxe(AC) - Rs. 1500/-
Semi Deluxe(AC) - Rs. 1000/-
