Wild Orchid- Pathetic Service
Jan 09, 2011 01:07 PM5699 Views

I tried to reserve rooms for my trip next month. The reservation counter is so pathetic that, they don't respond to any of the queries.


If you ask for correct bill amount, they don't disclose it at all, probably, they are trying to fool the customers with lot of hidden charges.


One of my Friend had been to this resort, he was telling, it is not value for money, and the service is also not good.

Wild Orchid Havelock - Check around before booking
Sep 29, 2010 10:38 AM4968 Views

The Wild Orchid havelock was a miserable experience. I stayed there from the 15th to the 19th of feb. While the Havelock island is a beautiful place and the beach unforgettable - the resort was extremely forgettable. I have stayed at Barefoot last year and there is a marked difference in the quality of the room, the service and the food.


The room was dirty and not cleaned for 3 days in spite of our requests, the toilet lights were not functioning and the geyser wasn't working.


I understand that competition is virtually non existent in havelock but at the very least I would expect basic hygiene and staff service to be on par with the 3 star hotels I have stayed in.


This resort does not even deserve star by normal standards but charges close to some 5 stars.


The resort manager expressed his concern when I told him about the toilets and wrote something down on a piece of paper but nothing ever happened.


I will not be going back there and I recommend highly that people shop around for other places - dont stay there unless you have to.


The Wild Orchid-Really in the wild
Nov 11, 2009 07:54 PM5082 Views

The website reads " We, your hosts, are dedicated to making your stay a delightful mixture of discovery, relaxation, luxury and simplicity. The Wild Orchid offers a wide range of activities and plenty of secluded places to relax. All day, our chef prepares an extraordinary menu of Indian and international cuisine. At any time we and the Wild Orchid staff are here to help create a perfect holiday with you".


My experience, sorry to say, was not like that, this supposedly being one of the best hotels and the most expensive on the beautiful island of Havelock. The staff was courteous though. The location of the resort is its biggest USP, being near to the beautiful Vijaynagar Beach No. 5.


Apart from that, there is not much I can say about the resort. Though the cottage, built in traditional andamanese style, look lovely from outside, they lack in space. Again the beds are beautiful, but lack space. I went wih my family, and booked 2 rooms in the resort. My parents who are nearing 60, my 2 year old kid and my husband. There used to be practically no electricity during the day. We spent 2 nights without electricity. There was no back up and no candles/lamps were there. We made do with the mobile flash light. And the air conditioners, sadly never worked, even when electricity was there.


The restaurent'Red Snapper' though pretty expensive(but then most of the things on the island are expensive) served decent fare but the menu was pretty limited. Also, there is a bar -'The Emerald Gecko Bar' which we didn't try out but hear that its pretty good.


The best part was the proximity of the Vijay Nagar Beach, which is a beautiful beach with almost white sand. The waters are emerald and just sitting there and watching the sunset and the sunrise gives one a lot of peace and calm.


The resort also organises snorkelling and scuba diving trips on request.


All in all, though the island is beautiful and has lovely beaches, the resort was not up to our expectations.

Unforgettable experience at Wild Orchid
Nov 10, 2007 07:43 PM5322 Views

During our 7 day stay in Port Blair today we were going to the Havlock island by the ship named Ramanujam.The crew started at 6.15 am and after 4 1/2 hrs we reached Havlock island.We had decided to stay at Wild Orchid.Dananjay from Wild Orchid picked us from the port to the hotel.


The Wild Orchid is a Holiday destination a thousand miles away from the pressures and strains of modern life.We freshened up in the hotel, had our lunch and hired a motor bike at a cost of Rs.200 to go to the Radhanagar beach which is about 12 km from Wild Orchid.This beach is a real exposure of unpolluted nature for an environment lover.The tides are fast here so our 1 1/2 yr old son Adarsh didnt want to play in the water and he got busy playing in the sand and running behind the small crabs.We stayed there till sunset and returned to Wild Orchid by 7pm for a delicious dinner.It was a treat! Next day we got some milk for our son and went to the beach located just 50m away from wild orchid.The tides were very mild and so Adarsh played well at the beach.We checked out at 9am.And Lijosh went for snorkeling arranged by the Wild Orchid at a cost of Rs.2000 per couple at Elephant Beach while myself and Adarsh played at the beach till he returned.


We returned to Port Blair by the boat at 2.30pm. As we were bidding good bye to havlock island and Wild Orchid, there was one thing in our minds " we will come again ".Thank you Wild Orchid we had a wonderful stay.......... Jaya, Lijosh and Adarsh.
