The staff were great and helpful and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. We did not eat in the restaurant but the breakfast was fine and varied.

The biggest issue for us was the constant building work. Expedia makes no mention of it on their website. Behind the restaurant, which everyone has to pass there is a huge mound of rocks and rubble. There’s a partially built bar area and behind the room block is another block being built. The pool is lovely but there are no loungers and when we asked for somewhere to sit the staff bought out two dining chairs.

At the pool area there was the constant noise of tile cutting and dust. Each room has its own patio with seating but sitting here you could hear construction work.

Either side of the pool is a path and this was used by trucks to transport materials to the building site beyond.

They claim that it’s a private beach but it’s a section of the beach, which not unpleasant, can be accessed from other hotels along the beach. Many people walk back and forth along the beach so I’m not sure this qualifies as private. There some very heavy wooden loungers but they are out of the sun and have no mattresses. The beach is across the road from the hotel

The photos shown on line are a row of newish cabins which are from the road to the beach. If using one of these you would have to cross the road for breakfast and the pool.

We were bitterly disappointed, and let down by Expedia

The hotel welcome is wonderfull. The made the room was made available earlier.
But our cottage was opposite a building site, the hotel seems to be expanding building new rooms, this was never , mentioned when booking, so the noise was hard to tolerate.
The rooms are in need of an upgrade, there is no fridge , just an empty old cupboard where the fridge shld have been the rooms are spacious but just dated. I asked for a hair dryer, which was bought over immediately but again it was so old, it barely dried my hair.
The beach is very nice and you could easily spend good time relaxing
The bar staff and service was excellent the location of the hotel is great with restaurants and spa services nearby

Very bad experience! All rooms smelly, water leaking into the rooms, no clean towels, bathroom wires were open. Worst experience i ever had in my life.

I booked for 2 days but i checked out on first day only because of these hell of experience. So requested refund for my 2nd day.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
