Room Hygiene- 10/10 Location - 11/10 Good- 10/10 Hospitality - 11/10 Absolutely loved the place. The staff was very friendly and the rooms were hygienic. Booked 2 rooms - Andaman villa and Nicobari cottage and both were unique. Would like to mention Neha at reception, Nirmal at bar and Wohid at restaurant for warm conversations.

Had an amazing stay here! 🌿✨ The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming—they really go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. The location is absolutely perfect, surrounded by lush greenery which gives a very peaceful and refreshing vibe. One of the biggest highlights is the direct connection to Radhanagar Beach—easily one of the best beaches! Being so close made the experience even more special. The food was also awesome, with great taste and good variety. Overall, a fantastic stay and I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting! 👍🌊

Long Review Alert!! This place is simply awesome for most parts but comes with some caveats. Best Part - the private beach access to Radhanagar Beach. It’s 500m away from the public entrance and it’s way less crowded at this properties beach. Overall hotel property is awesome with lots of greenery, bird sightings and lots of trees. Their reception area, which also has a cozy bar, is great place to hang out. We stayed in their largest cottage, sadly the room is decent sized but washroom and the deck was huge. Those were hardly usable because you’ll spend most of the time at the beach. We did their private dinner by the beach for special occasion. It’s a decent experience, nice decor with average food. They didn’t serve lobster in this dinner even after giving preferences was surprising. This dinner was 18k and didn’t provide value for money. Hospitality is mixed as well, reception staff and the bartenders are warm and welcoming but other staff definitely need some training.

Barefoot at Havelock is blessed with one of the most spectacular locations in India. Situated right next to Radhanagar Beach—often called the best beach in Asia—the setting is truly magical. Surrounded by dense forest, the property feels like a secluded nature escape and is perfect for those looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in the outdoors. However, while the location is unbeatable, the accommodation falls short of expectations. The rooms are extremely dated and lack even basic hotel amenities such as dental kits, slippers, vanity kits, proper hooks in the washrooms, etc. Both the rooms and bathrooms are very poorly lit, creating an eerie rather than romantic ambience. The furniture and overall interiors clearly need refurbishment. The dining experience was another disappointment. Breakfast is à la carte with very limited options and almost no variation across days, which becomes monotonous during a longer stay. The restaurant service also needs improvement—while the reception staff is warm and welcoming, the servers appeared ill-informed about the menu and struggled to answer basic questions. Given the large number of staff on site, better training and efficiency at the restaurant would significantly enhance the guest experience. That said, the location remains Barefoot’s biggest and undeniable USP. We would love to visit again for the beach and natural surroundings alone, but would think twice before making it our final choice unless improvements are made to the rooms and food service. Unfortunately, the exclusivity of the location leaves guests with few alternatives, making one accept sub-par accommodation and dining in exchange for an otherwise extraordinary setting.
