Good Property with great beach View
Good property with great beach view of the resort. Spacious room, with poor light's if screens are closed. Breakfast spread was ok. Food from restaurant was good in taste.Close to most of the attractions.

The good: 1. The rooms are large, clean, comfortable and well equipped 2. Room service and food is decent The bad: 1. What you get, is not worth what you pay 2. I wouldn't spend extra for the breakfast or for the "beach front rooms" If you're looking for a room which opens up to the beach, you'd find much better options at a much better price. Be extremely careful while booking your rooms, though we booked a room by the beach, we were given a room at the far end of the hotel. This happened with at least 3other guests checking in at the same time as us. There clearly is wrong information given by the hotel on most websites. Be doubly sure about the room you're getting while booking. Would I come back here? Not a chance.

This hotel is well located good service but the bathrooms need to be updated, I think the property is at a stage in which it requires updating restaurant and breakfast average I would say it’s a 3 star hotel.

B’ful property, great service
The stay was great. It is very beautiful property. They have a Tour guide Salim, who helped us plan the trip as well. They have a nice private beach. Only if they could have the bar on the beach.

Poor service in an overrated "resort"
Overall, our stay at Symphony was a large disappointment in terms of value for money. There are locations nearby at a much lower cost but with less marketing capacity, but more dedicated to service. Also it keeps the flexibility to eat outside, whereas here with half-board you are "confined" to a mediocre cuisine. We went for a diving holiday but the fact that for about a month now off-shore diving has been banned by an Indian government regulation, has conveniently been not mentioned to us. Therefore, we wanted to shorten our stay as the plan of pertaining an advanced open water diver license could not be realized. The hotel offered little to no help at all for that, so we forced to stay.

Great location, amazing beach
Overall a great stay -- yes it was a bit pricey but during the holidays your options are a bit limited on Havelock. Beautiful beach, enjoyed the feeling of being in nature just steps from the room, and since they're all little bungalows it was nice to have a bit of privacy and feel like we were in our own cabin near the beach.

No internet access
On the Hotels.com pages there was stated that there is wired internet in the room. However, the only place with internet was the hotel bar (of course you need to buy something in the bar in order to get access to the internet).

Over Priced
This hotel is not worth the money. It's way over priced with no value. We stayed 5 long days here and each day by 5pm the cleaning staff didn't make up the room. We had to ask, and got dirty looks from the front desk. Our room wasn't sealed properly has a lot of bugs in the room. No hot water and A/C turns off at about 6pm.

Family holiday at Symphony Palm Beach, Havelock
Description of rooms is misleading, ie rooms sold by the tag "beach facing" are not really facing the beach or giving a view of th beach from windows. In all areas Service was very slow and unremarkable. No running hot water. Restaurant staff not very forthcoming and again very slow service. Had to change rooms as main door when closed had a big gap between frame and door and wash pipe in the toilet was leaking. Rooms are not well cleaned by staff. For the price i paid could get a five star excellent service in Mumbai instead. Cost was not justified.

Overpriced and poor service from staff.
Staff were not helpful, we had paid for an extra mattress for an extra person which they had not prepared and gave us a thin old mattress on the floor. The beds were uncomfortable and the breakfast was terrible. Overpriced for the quality of service. They also ring every morning at 6am with Chai.

Pleasant stay
The hotel is ok as per standards outside, but in havelock as compared to other places (which had tents and huts) this was nice (wooden structure). The rooms are very close to each other and bathroom is ok. You don't have hot water facility in it. no geyser. while booking I thought it opens on a beach, but thats only for lagoon cottages. The rest are on the other side of the road, though not far. The arrangement and view on the beach side is nice. Food is overpriced. Though overall a nice hotel as compared to the other ones in havelock.

Slice of Heaven
Hotel symphony palms is one of the best properties on the island. The cottages towards the beach offer a very beautiful view to nature. the rooms are very spacious and well maintained. the staff is very warm and helpful. The cottages are spread over a very large area hence there is no room service. Also hot water is not available. It is walking distance from govind nagar which has a reasonably good market and eating joints. My favorite eating joint was 'Welcome Restaurant'( a dhaba) which serves very good veg and non veg dishes. Overall a very good experience!

This hotel has two parts - on either side of the main road, it would do good to choose the one between the road & the beach - it is only 30 metres or so from the beautiful beach. you cannot see the sea from any room but the overall ambience is great and the proximity & quietness of the govind nagar beach is great, we found it even better that the much reviewed radha nagar beach

Excellent resort, courteous staff
I stayed at this resort for 2 nights. It's a beautiful resort and complete value for money. The cottages are neat and tidy and so are the premises. The lagoon cottages are very near to the sea. The resort has one of the best restaurants on the island. Only thing to take care of is that if you book online through hotels.com or expedia or any other third-party websites, make sure that you call the hotel to confirm as well. When I booked the receipt said I had a booking for a 'lagoon' room while the actual booking was done for a 'cottage' room (which is also nice just a little farther from the beach). Hotel staff were cooperative and still provided us a lagoon room but they say it's a regular incidence and may not always be as accommodating.

Very nice Rooms (Cottages) at beautiful beach
The Cottages are very big and comfortable. AC was working fine, television not that much because of the bad signal on the island. But you won't need a tv because you should go out to enjoy the beaches. Same for the Wifi. The hotel has a very nice beach to view the sunset and to swim in the sea (only during the right timings). The Staff was very very nice, the food good and the whole hotel is very clean. Overall I had a nice stay at would come back.

Ein Ort, fast wie im Paradies
Wir hatten als "älteres Paar" (55 und 65 Jahre) 20 Tage im Symphony Palms gebucht. Das war wagemutig, weil wir nicht wussten was auf uns zukam. Die Anlage ist in zwei Bereiche geteilt, die durch eine Straße getrennt sind. Der Hauptbereich mit Rezeption, Restaurant und der Mehrzahl der Unterkünfte liegt auf der Seite ohne direkte Strrandsicht. Ein anderer Bereich mit ca 20 Häuschen (gegen ca. 20€ Aufpreis) ist traumhaft ganz in der Nähe des sehr gepflegten Strandes gelegen. Das war es uns wert! Der Ort erfüllt in der Tat so alle Klischees, die man von einem Tropenparadies hat. Äußerst beeindruckt waren wir von dem superfreundlichen, aufmerksamen Servicepersonal. Es entstand sehr viel herzliche, persönliche Nähe.Der Gästekreis besteht überwiegend aus (gutverdienenden) Indern, darunter viele junge Honeymoon-Paare.Dem trägt sauch das Restaurantangebot Rechnung. Die Küche ist absolut gut, das Frühstücks-buffet üppig undSonderwünsche werde gerne ohne Aufpreis erfüllt. Köstlich ist das hervorragend frisch die die Fische und Krustentiere (Tigerprawns), sollte man für den europäischen Gaumen aber lieber "en nature" gegart betsellen. Wichtig ist in der Hochsaison Mitte Dezember bis Mitte Januar frühzeitig die Fährtickets nach und von Havelock zu organisieren. Wir hätten ohne große Probleme bekommen, unseren Flieger zu erreichen, wenn die Hotelleitung nicht geholfen hätte. Anita Edelmann und Wilfried Seitz

Ravintolasalissa ei saa alkoholia ruokailun yhteydessä, vaan se on nautittava baarissa. Valikoima on aika huono. Paikallinen olut esim. Kingfisher on ihan ok. Viinit voi unohtaa ja GT:n tilaus ei onnistu, koska ei ole tonickia. Riksataksit halpoja. Yleensä yhden reitin ajaminen maksaa n. 100 rupia. Intialaiset hyvin ystävällisiä. Ulkona ruokaolu edullista. Hygieniapullo kannattaa olla aina mukana käsienpesuun, sillä hygieniataso Intiassa on huono. Kaikki roskat heitetään luontoon.

Schöne Anlage
Der 6.30h Earlymorningtea serviert ans Zimmer (die Sonne steht dann schon recht hoch,(Indianstandardtime) dafür wird's um 17.30h schom dunkel). habe ich sehr genossen. Einfaches Indisches Frühstücksbuffet im 2 Geschossigen offenen Restaurant. Kein Internet. Sehr geräumige schön eingerichtete Bungalovs. Der vom Meer weiter entfernte neuerere Teil der Anlage ist weiträumiger angelegt, doch die Palmen sind dafür zum Teil noch sehr klein. Hotel direkt am schönen weissen Sandstrand. Schwimmen bei Ebbe schwierig aber möglich. 5 Min. zu Fuss bis zum Dorf mit guten Verplegungsmöglichkeiten. Rollervermietung gleich neben an.

Siamo stati soddisfatti in quasi tutti i aspetti. L'unica cosa che ci aspettevamo ma non c'era proprio, l'acqua calda per la doccia. Considerando il prezzo comunque altino ci aspettevammo un piccolo riscaldabagno o almeno un contenitore d'acqua sul tetto che si riscalda con il calore del sole. Non c'era scritto da nessuna parte l'inesistenza del acqua calda.. Per il resto tutto bellissimo.

прекрасный отель.
Жили 2 ночи-в начале возле моря,затем-за дорогой. Первый коттедж понравился больше-красивее. Но в целом все хорошо-огромные номера. Кондиционер и телевизор. Не смогли добиться того,чтобы была горячая вода,но это не мешало. На ресепшен подсказали расписание паромов на Нейл. Удобно расположенны столик и стулья на веранде-можно посидеть.Также близко от деревни 3-пешком минут 10-15. По утрам приносят чай.

Havelock - Isole Andamane
Buona posizione, vicino al village N.3; ottimi spazi comuni tra cui un bellissimo giardino. La stanza è molto spaziosa e con un bel terrazzino. La pulizia non è il punto di forza (come in generale un pò in tutta l'India) e la carta igienica me la sono comprata io. Nel complesso è una buona struttura.
