Ideally for stays I would have liked to have rated “good” if the option was there.
Stayed in the following resorts:
Sea shell , port blair : This was an ok hotel, nothing fancy. Very small hotel with no great views etc. Food was good and rooms were clean. Price of food was very high for the k

ind of place it seemed to be.
Tilar Siro, Havelock: The best resort we stayed during our andaman visit. Everything about the resort was absolutely brilliant. Food, hospitality and the private beach section were all top notch.
Symphony summer sands, Neil island: This was the biggest let down in our entire trip. The upgraded casa aqua room with breakfast and dinner was just pathetic. This is a motel pretending to be a star resort. There is a section of this resort on the beach side which looked a bit better, but our rooms were on the bad side. I wish i had stuck to my original choice of sea shell samssara instead of listening to your recommendation.
Symphony samudra, port blair: beautiful resort, but far away from the city which was fine for us. But the resort appears to still have some construction ongoing. We did not get great views from our room which was overseeing a pond under construction. The resort also has significant maintenance issues even though it is fairly new- our room has cockroaches and spiders and ac did not work in our room after 10. They offered to change rooms, but my kids had already slept by then. Other room was good and resort itself is overall pretty.
Drivers:
All drivers were excellent and on time and reasonable. Never had any issues. Especially the havelock and neil island drivers and port Blair driver during return trip were very helpful. Only docking a point for dropping us far away and making us walk a lot and for sometimes bringing cars that were not very clean/ not having ac working.
Travel agent experience:
Right from booking till follow ups during travel, very quick response and always ready to help. I was also happy to note that in most places we did have 2 cars booked when we had luggages, so we could sit comfortably. Only thing was the recommendations of symphony summer sands and sea shell, port blair. Not sure if the agent got first hand knowledge or only details from the photos, the experience there is a lot different than the images. Perhaps need to figure out customers preferences by engaging a little more to understand their taste as well. That’s my only corrective comment, otherwise I wanted to thank lazy yatra/ travel triangle for an extremely well planned trip.
