Good to Know

Frequently asked questions


The questions the desk is asked most often, answered plainly. Everything below is how the resort actually runs — timings, what is included, how to get here from Port Blair, and what happens if plans change. If your question is not here, the desk is staffed around the clock and will answer it faster than an email will.

What are the check-in and check-out times?

Check-in is from 10:30 am and check-out is at 8:30 am. Reception is staffed 24 hours, so a late ferry is never a problem — tell us your sailing and we will keep the desk expecting you.

How do I reach the resort?

Havelock Island — Swaraj Dweep — is reached by ferry from Port Blair, about 57 km by sea. There is no bridge and no airstrip, so everyone arrives at Havelock Jetty. The resort is 5 km from the jetty, under ten minutes by road.

Can you arrange diving, ferry tickets and island tours?

Yes. The travel desk arranges snorkelling, scuba diving, sea walks, mangrove tours, fishing and water sports, and holds your ferry tickets. It will also tell you plainly when the sea is not worth going out on, which is a service in itself.
