When I was planning my holiday in the Andamans, a week before the trip I had called Mr Satya, in the resort office on several occasions. He was very cooperative in helping to plan the trip, providing inputs regarding what to see, when to see, about the local attractions and even what to do in Havelock, Neil and Long islands. The inputs proved very useful for the trip. When we landed in Port Blair, the car was waiting and the staff had kept the room ready for us. The environment at the resort was warm and welcoming and hospitable. Our stay was enjoyable and marvellous.
