The Last of the True Island Retreats: Megapode ResortIf you want to experience Port Blair before it turns into a standardized luxury hub, run, don’t walk to Megapode Resort. This isn’t just a hotel; it’s a 7.5-acre slice of Andaman history perched on a hill.’’ The Location: A Front-Row Seat to the BayThe views here are, quite frankly, unbeatable. Sitting on your balcony in a Nicobari Cottage, you aren't just looking at the water; you’re watching the rhythm of the islands. From the sunrise over the Port Blair harbor to the silhouettes of ferries gliding toward Havelock, the vantage point is therapeutic. It’s high enough to catch the sea breeze but close enough to the jetty to make island-hopping a breeze.’’ The Vibe: Authenticity Over "Polished" LuxuryThere is a specific "Government-run-but-grand" hospitality here that feels personal and grounded. The staff doesn't treat you like a room number; they treat you like a guest in their home. Whether it's the sprawling, manicured lawns or the vintage aesthetic of the Mount Harriet Bar, there’s a sense of space and tranquility that new, high-density resorts just can't replicate.’’’ Hospitality & DiningThe breakfast spread might be simple, but eating it while overlooking the turquoise expanse makes it a five-star meal. The hospitality is warm, polite, and unpretentious’a refreshing change from the stiff corporate service found elsewhere.’ Why You Must Visit BEFORE 2026The clock is ticking! With the Radisson redevelopment now officially underway, this property is destined for a massive 5-star facelift. While the new luxury will be world-class, the soulful, quiet, and rustic charm of the current Megapode is a finite resource. Catch it now while the gardens are still wild and the atmosphere is pure "Old Andaman."

I stayed at Megapode Resort, Haddo, Sri Vijaya Puram, Andaman & Nicobar Islands for one night during my trip, and the experience had a mix of positives and areas that need attention.The biggest strength of the property is its excellent location. Waking up to the beautiful sea views, especially from the sea-view cottages, was truly refreshing. The resort is spread across a large green campus with well-maintained outdoor areas, offering a peaceful and scenic environment. The rooms are air-conditioned, which is essential in the Andaman climate.However, the property as a whole requires significant maintenance and upgrades. Many of the fittings, especially in the bathrooms, are of the old-model type, and the overall interior condition reflects age. Guests need to switch on the geyser manually for hot water, and it took me some time to understand why there was initially no hot water. The bedsheets, pillow covers, mattress, and towels also appeared worn out and would benefit from replacement for improved comfort.The breakfast spread was very limited, which is an area the resort can work on, given the size and potential of the property.Overall, Megapode Resort offers a great location, peaceful surroundings, and beautiful views, but with better maintenance, modernisation, and improved amenities, it could deliver a much more comfortable and value-for-money stay.
