Barefoot at Havelock

The setting with its own private beach is very nice. Radha nagar beach is absolutely beautiful. Food was really good. Very clean.

hotel design blends seamlessly into the environment, rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff was all very friendly and helpful and food on site was delicious. Convenient for booking any water activities and easy access to what felt like a private beach. Highly recommend!

Very friendly staff Amazing Location Beautiful rooms

DO NOT BOOK TO GO HERE - THEY WILL NOT ADMIT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM BUT LOOK UP THE DEATH HERE DUE TO MAN EATING CROCODILES - THIS IS TOO NEAR A SANCTUARY AND THEREFORE DANGEROUS. The government also denies it. The numbers have massively escalated since the Tsunami. At worst they will have beaches closed if there is a sighting. Can you really relax on this beach with your eyes closed?! Evidence for Money reclaim: • Police will refuse to intervene – in the sea • “Survivors will be prosecuted” • Massive increase in crocodiles being ignored due to hiding the problem from tourists • Barefoot Resort itself has seen death of tourist • Andamans are seeing large increases in deaths • Even if not killed by crocodile, beaches are frequently closed if any sighting – hotel says recent sightings occur. • Barefoot Hotel is being negligent for our safety and concerns in refusing to give us a refund • No signs warning you not to go into the sea!!! You can still go in. • There is a nearby Loha Barrack Sanctuary of Saltwater crocdiles • Government under criticism of not taking action to either ban swimming or ban the crocodile sanctuary nearby ARTICLE WIKIPEDIA TRENDS Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocodile_attack • In April 2010, a 25-year-old woman from New Jersey was killed by a saltwater crocodile while snorkeling in India's Andaman Islands. Havelock Island, where the attack took place, lies 72 kilometres (45 mi) from the Lohabarrack Salt Water Crocodile Sanctuary. Her boyf

Very highly priced for absolutely no amenities in the resort. Will never recommend this property to anyone else.

The resort was enjoyable, with friendly staff and an awesome beach. The food was satisfactory. Additionally, they arranged a great Holi celebration, which was a highlight. However, despite multiple follow-ups, they have yet to share the pictures taken during the celebration.

We loved the location and the unique nature of the property. It felt like we were in the middle of a jungle and back to nature with only noise being birds chirping. The beach was one of the cleanest and best we have seen. Staff were very courteous and helpful and able to deal with any enquiry. Breakfast was excellent but generally bar and food prices were high. The only thing we didn’t like was the lighting around the property and the uneven path. Our cottage was a bit of a distance from the restaurant and finding our way back in the dark was dangerous and a real nightmare as we are elderly and not too steady on our feet!

I checked out on the second day and they charged me for 4 days. I had to check out due to death of my uncle. They did not helped me out in any way.

Not value for money. Overcharged with no room facility at all. Also, there is no other facility at property like SPA. No lighting at the property. Food is good but costly. Not at all happy. There are other properties around which has better services at lower rate.

A unique property in the middle of the rain forest and less than two minutes walk from the pristine Radha Nagar beach. The perfect location if you are looking for a laid back and peaceful stay. The only drawback is the paths to and from the cottages, which get muddy if it rains.

We stayed in barefoot resort for 4 days Good things: it happens to near one of the best beaches in Asia that is Radhanagar beach, peaceful property surrounded by forest so natural, food is pricy but good Problems: the property manager have not bothered to maintained the road to the property, to the beach and to the rooms, there are no lights in way to your room, there is no room services (there is not even telephone or emergency button in case you need any medical help, the cottages are far from reception) rustic means furnitures and room fittings and AC maintenance not done for years, they have not bother to provide basic facility of mosquito repellant in room (there are too many mosquitos and insects around particularly during rainy days). There are no activities for kids (except carrom board at reception) Management didn’t bother to put rest benches or hammock on beach (I wonder how would this affect peace). There are some old mats lying around and no guests were using it. Most importantly there is no emergency medical kit available, the nearest medical facility in 10 km away and this resort is isolated from main town. Overall this place may be good for digital detox for some people who are extensively watching TV and overusing Internet (mind you Airtel has good range in the resort) not good for kids, elderly and family travellers. We will not stay here again.

What a lovely resort! The staff were so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for the management team. We were there when the coronavirus hit and they really went out of their way to make sure we were looked after and enjoyed our time there. On our last night, the hotel was going to shut down, with no ide when they will be able to re-open - the staff team gave an impromptu concert and dinner was served out in the open. After checking out, the manager came with us to the port to make sure there was no problem with our ferry booking and that we got away ok. I really cannot speak highly enough of the team there. The food is great too.

Fully equiped cottages/tents in a somewhat dense looking jungle within 200m from Radhanagar Beach, the best beach in India for sure. The stay at Barefoot is a completely different experience because of the silence, sounds of birds, sea and jungle insects. A perfect place to stay away from all the digital displays (Yes, they don't have TVs). Food is tasty, delicately flavored and hygienic here, though, a bit on the costlier side. The resort ranks high on safety and cleanliness despite being surrounded by a jungle full of insects. Sometimes you may be surprised by live singing performance at the lounge and bar area which is usually filled with foreigners.

Beach number 7 is the best beach in Havelock But that is not the story... Barefoot team is doing all they can to be your family for the duration of the stay and they are doing excellent work Very friendly stuff great food at the restaurant , excellent bar and atmosphere In addition service is amazing including serving tea to the beach every day on sunset Very clean cottages and you have all you need Don’t miss the Yoga lesson each day at 6AM Each day they have live music at the Bar with amazing and fun singer lady

Staying at Barefoor has been one of my best vacation experiences. The place is close to Radhanagat beach and is mostly self-sustained. There's an excellent restaurant, massage place, and options of many activities within the property itself. But the most outstanding part for me was the staff- they were always ready to help with anything and everything. I have not received this amazing customer service at any other place. For anyone going to Havelock, this is an excellent place to stay if it fits your budget.

The property is in a dense forest setup and is recommended for people who will like the rustic, calm, quiet and a very welcoming place. The place has added features to make your stay even more relaxing as there is no wifi and mobile network. So you get cut off from your daily cores and can just relax. It is not for people who would like to have wifi and connectivity during their stay.

The property has character, easy access to a private portion of the beautiful radhanagar beach. The kitchen staff is friendly, kind and extremely hospitable.

Beautiful location on quiet beach away from the crowds who congregate further down the beach. Nice rooms and very welcoming and helpful staff. incredibly quiet and relaxing place.

スタッフの方が親切で丁寧でとても良い。 自然の森の中でのんびり過ごすには最適な場所。 ホテルに隣接するビーチは白い砂浜と透明度の高い海で、とてもきれい。夜浜辺から見る満天の星は筆舌に尽くしがたい。 レストランが提供する料理は様々なバリエーションがあるが、やはりカレーが美味しい。特にエビや魚のカレー。 ホテルが森の中にあるため、野鳥が多く、鳥の鳴き声で迎える朝は素晴らしい。 一方で虫やトカゲなどが苦手な人には向かないかもしれない。ホテルのスタッフの方が、虫除けの薬剤を定期的に敷地内に撒いてくれているため、部屋の中に虫が入ってくることはあまり無い。 次回は雨季に雨の森を体験しにまた訪れたい。
