The Barefoot at Havelock

We stayed for 4 nights in a villa. Although very well done, this hotel is not going to suit everyone. The rooms are totally set in the trees, so they are permanently dark. After a couple of days, I felt quite claustrophobic . (Mosquitos are also rampant) This is not a fault but purely the nature of the resort. Obviously, personal taste. They do, however, call themselves an 'Eco Resort'. That is a joke when you get down to their beautiful beach and find the tideine littered with all kinds of plastic. A staff member is sitting there all day watching the beach, and doesn't even attempt to clean it up. 5 mins a day would sort the problem. This is 2025 & plastic litter is unacceptable in this kind of environment. The staff in the restaurant & bar were exceptional & so chatty & helpful. We couldn't fault them. Overall, guests there seem to enjoy the vibe, but if you like light, open rooms either a view..maybe no.

We have spent five wonderful days here at this little piece of paradise. We stayed in an Andaman villa which was fairly spacious with a fridge (with mini bar) ***** with a kettle and with tea, coffee etc and drinking water which is replenished twice a day. The staff are all special from the reception to the restaurant, bar and housekeeping. Nothing is too much for any of them and they all seem to enjoy the environment they work in - and who wouldn't? It really is a place of peace and tranquility. The staff can arrange for various activities - we did the early morning bird watching walk with PK. He is very knowledgeable and helps you see some of the wonderful birds on this is island. We also did a cruise and two snorkeling trips with Barefoot scuba who are very experienced and friendly. Our time spent here has been perfect in every way and there is nothing I can find fault with. I highly recommend this beautiful resort to anyone who wants a truly amazing place to get away from all the hustle and bustle of life. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️

Excellent room service, staff members were so polite, entire resort area was clean , food was delicious , clean bed and washrooms, good beach facilities beautiful infrastructure. So many activities to perform, forest area was beautiful. You can hear birds through out the day.

The environment is amazing with a private beach at your doorstep. The staff are very helpful and pleasant. The food is quite amazing and its a perfect getaway for couples in love. Recommended for all who want to get away from the humdrum of city life. A paradise and once in a lifetime experience❤️

Our second visit to Barefoot. First was in 2007 as Husband and wife, and now with our kids. We absolutely loved the place. Scuba diving is a must try from the resort. Wohit in the swimming elephant restaurant was excellent. From the front desk to the people around helping were courteous and professional. Would love to come again .....and definitely not after 18 years

Overall very happy with stay, room, food and overall experience. Only lowlight was the distance of room allotted - room was a bit far and it was a bit scary in night as there wasn’t enough light on pathways.
