Elephant and Four wise men resort

I have been traveling around different countries for many months, but I have never experienced such rudeness and unwillingness to communicate normally before. Upon check-in, the owner informed me that he would take my passport because he needed to bring it to the police. I asked him to take a photo with his phone or make a copy instead, as I don’t want to hand over my passport to someone I don’t know for an extended period (I previously experienced an attempted passport theft in India and am cautious about such situations). The owner simply said that this was not enough, and in the end, he threw my passport and money in my direction, disregarding the confirmed reservation. In short, I was put in a very uncomfortable situation where the choice was either to hand over my passport or find another place to stay. Unfortunately, that is the atmosphere there... There were many other ways this could have been handled. If you expect a warm and welcoming vibe on a paradise island, this place might disappoint you. You may feel more like an intruder than a guest.

-Rude and not helpful owner with a problem with communication. -very basic bungalow with many holes -Mattress laid directly on concrete and hard -beach area full of plastic, they don't care to much about -Wi fi did not work at night In my opinion, you pay too much money and get rude service in return also.

right on the beach.

Wifi

I loved the hospitality of the host subhankar. He's very helpful and accomodating. The resort is in a fantastic location. Sunsets just behind the resort are magical and the food just yumm.. I look forward to visit back soon. Thanks alot subhankar for being such a wonderful Host.

Elephant was by far my favourite place I’ve ever stayed, anywhere, Shivanka the owner is an absolute pleasure to spend time with, knowledgable about everything on not only Neil Island but all of Andaman, helpful and a great cook, always suggested great places to visit and snorkel, told endless stories of growing up in Andaman and was knowledgeable about the history and tribes on other islands, he created the perfect environment to enjoy the island. The stay is a lovely beach bamboo hut just 1 minute walk from the beach, surrounded by coconut palms and shaded so never gets too hot, basic but clean and comfortable, close to nature and has the best snorkelling on the island at the back as long as you are a confident swimmer, everything I personally wanted from this stay. The resort is more of a homely hostel vibe with the perks of private huts, the location is central enough so that you can cycle to anywhere on the island. Jake from England.

Nothing, I wouldn’t change anything.

Nothing it was minging

I was not happy with the room I was charged 1600 rupees the room had cockroaches crawling over us all night, my wife was terrified . He called me a liar about the cockroaches . I paid him in full 7168 rupees as he insisted but I am under the impression that I only need to pay 50% cancellation fee ? To get a receipt out of him was hard work. Then he said he couldn’t cancel the booking but he had cancelled a previous booking no problem. I booked this place in good faith because of the good reviews. I can only assume that they are fake. It’s on the beach but you can’t swim there too dangerous because of rocks the swimming is 15 minutes away across rough terrain. I got a much better room cheaper , cleaner and on the beach just down the road. Trust me avoid this man he’s a money grabber.

Resort like ambience at low budget

It's around one and a half kms from Neil kendra market
