Hotel Bay Walk- A Sea Side Hotel — Hotel in South Andaman Island

Our stay at Bay Walk, Port Blair, was booked via our tour operator Experience Andamans since they have a tie-up. Almost all the rooms of this hotel are booked by this tour operator and you'll hardly find any rooms to book by yourself online. While the location of this hotel is a plus (being close to the seaside), the sewerage that passes right outside the hotel is off putting. As per our itinerary we were to spend our first 3 nights here at Port Blair, one night at Havelock, and the last night here again before catching our flight back home the next day. However on returning from our Ferry to the Hotel, we were told that the rooms are full and that we were being shifted to another hotel. Apparently the hotel was overbooked and we were conveniently bounced off. We were tired from a day of beach activities and a nausea-inducing Ferry, and we knew that arguing was going to be pointless, so we were forced to move to this other Hotel, somewhere in the middle of Port Blair, which was not really comparable to Bay Walk. Now when I ask the tour operator about this, they say it's the fault of the Hotel since they overbooked, the Hotel themselves don't seem to really care who stays as long as their occupancy is filled. So I would suggest to everyone to be careful while booking this hotel, preferably do it yourselves and ask for confirmation receipts if possible, or avoid booking it if you can find more reliable options. The rooms themselves are not that great, some of the rooms are really small and there is no space to even keep a suitcase. There is absolutely no view from the rooms either (Premium ones - don't know about other rooms), they just open onto other buildings and sewerage. The staff were very helpful though, most people at Andaman...

We just finished our vacation one week ago with fresh memories of Andaman. Landed at Baywalk on 2nd of October, then checked out on 3rd. Again rechecked in on the 6th and checked out on 9th of October. They hold a policy of full payment of room rent at checkin and not at checkout, even after you have booked it with 50% advance payment. I had booked F1, which was a twin room. The closet had no SS rod to hang clothes. The shower was not functioning. Two beds but one plastic hanger to hang clothes. Bathroom had no rods either to hang your clothes. And, this was supposed to be a premium room. I am sorry, Baywalk is not on the bay. Room service is very poor.I did the errands of getting drinking water myself due to prolonged delays. The front desk was not even apologetic for that. Please avoid their packed breakfast as they would not toast the bread even on your request. They are completely immune to your suggestions or request. They failed me on two occasions. The good part is it's close proximity to Aberdeen market , RKS mission and Marina park. The restaurant is very good. The food quality and taste is satisfying. Do try the Tomato soup. Service is quick and satisfactory. Breakfast is good enough., with changes in menu ever day. The best part is Housekeeping. They are spot on. In short, I would give Baywalk some time to ramp up things a little as this is a new property, thus short on experience. With time they...
