"A
Hidden
Gem
in
Port
Blair!!!"
I
recently
had
the
pleasure
of
staying
with
my
family
at
this
incredible
homestay
in
Port
Blair,
and
it
exceeded
all
my
expectations.
From
the
moment
I
arrived,
the
warm
hospitality
of
the
hosts
Capt.
Dhanavelu
and
his
wife
Mrs.
Revathi
Dhanavelu
made
us
feel
like
we
were
part
of
their
family.
We
were
welcomed
with
the
famous
king
coconut
of
Andaman
just
after
our
arrival.
We
were
accommodated
at
a
very
spacious
sea
facing
room
from
which
we
could
experience
a
really
refreshing
view
of
the
sea
and
Mount
Harriot.
This
is
located
very
near
to
the
Megapode
Resort
and
one
can
enjoy
a
kind
of
same
view
from
the
rooms
and
balconies
at
a
much
lower
cost.
The
homestay's
location
(Behind
Old
TATA
Motors/
walkable
from
seashore
road)
is
perfect
–
nestled
in
a
peaceful
neighborhood,
yet
conveniently
close
(within
3
kms
radius)
to
all
the
major
attractions
like
Cellular
Jail,
Corbyn
Cove
Beach,
Samudrika
Museum,
Anthropological
Museum,
Chatham
Saw
Mill,
all
of
which
are
only
10
mins
apart
from
the
property.
Also
the
property
is
very
close
to
the
Airport
(10-15
mins)
and
Haddo
Jetty
(5
mins)
from
where,
all
the
private
ferry
departs.
This
is
a
very
new
three
storeyed
property
having
a
dining
area,
study,
kitchen,
balcony
and
equipped
with
all
the
basic
amenities
for
all
the
rooms.
The
rooms
are
tastefully
decorated,
combining
modern
amenities
like
WiFi,
TV,
AC,
Mini
Fridge,
Geyser,
constant
power
backup
etc.
It
seems
like
they
took
care
of
each
and
every
small
thing
to
provide
a
better
experience
for
the
guests.
Cleanliness
is
clearly
a
top
priority
here,
and
it
truly
enhances
the
overall
experience.
What
sets
this
homestay
apart
is
the
genuine
care
and
attention
to
detail
provided
by
the
hosts.
They
went
above
and
beyond
to
ensure
my
comfort,
offering
valuable
local
insights
and
recommendations
that
made
my
visit
unforgettable.
We
neither
booked
any
cab
for
local
transportation
nor
had
any
fixed
itinerary
at
Port
Blair
prior
to
reaching
there
but,
Capt.
Dhanavelu
arranged
everything
so
nicely
that
we
could
cover
each
and
every
place
without
worrying
about
anything.
From
the
pickup
to
drop
from
the
airport
and
to
visit
each
and
every
spot,
he
arranged
an
SUV
car,
which
was
always
there
with
a
very
proficient
and
helpful
driver.
The
rate
for
every
place
was
also
very
nominal
(Rs.
250-
300
for
each
pickup/
drop).
Moreover
he
also
arranged
a
jeep
beforehand
for
us
to
visit
Mount
Harriot.
He
also
arranged
pickup/
drop
and
sightseeing
at
Havelock/
Neil.
So
one
doesn't
need
to
be
worried
at
all
if
he/
she
arrives
completely
unplanned
at
their
place
or
doesn't
have
any
package
tour.
All
the
meals
including
breakfast,
lunch
or
dinner,
everything
was
cooked
and
served
by
Mrs.
Revathi,
who
took
care
of
everything
throughout
the
time
we
were
at
their
place.
She
used
to
prepare
a
very
delightful
spread
of
South
Indian
homemade
delicacies,
showcasing
the
rich
flavors
of
the
region.
It's
evident
that
the
hosts
take
pride
in
sharing
the
best
of
their
culture
with
guests.
Moreover,
they
love
to
talk
to
their
guests
just
like
family
members
and
so
we
never
felt
bored
for
a
minute.
Prior
to
reaching
there,
I
had
no
idea
that
I
was
the
first
one
who
booked
their
property
for
our
trip,
though
many
people
went
before
us.
So
we
got
special
hospitality
from
them
as
they
were
so
overwhelmed
to
host
us
with
all
the
possible
facilities
and
help
which
made
our
trip
unforgettable.
I
cannot
thank
enough
to
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Dhanavelu
for
making
our
trip
so
memorable
by
not
only
providing
us
with
a
very
comfortable
stay
at
their
place
for
4
days
but
also
to
guide
us
with
each
and
every
small
thing
for
visiting
all
the
tourist
spots
and
arrangements
for
local
transportation.
I'd
highly
recommend
this
homestay
to
every
tourist
of
Andaman
who'll
be
staying
at
Port
Blair–
it's
a
hidden
gem
in
Port
Blair
that
offers
a
perfect
blend
of
comfort,
hospitality,
and
authenticity.
Whether
you're
a
solo
traveler,
a
couple,
or
a
family,
this
homestay
is
a
fantastic
choice
for
a
memorable
stay
in
the
heart
of
the
Andaman
and
Nicobar
Islands.
