Independent Havelock Island hotels

"Location, staff, properties"

"Jacuzzi didn’t work. No hot water as their heating system wasn’t working. It was a horrible experience with service staff as well. "

"Silver Sands is, in practical terms, the strongest overall property on the island for value, setting, and guest experience. While Taj Exotica is often promoted as the premier option, that distinction appears tailored more to status-seekers than to travelers prioritizing authenticity, comfort, and location. From a value perspective, Silver Sands delivers exceptionally well. The setting is outstanding, the beachfront lagoon is remarkable, and the panoramic views are genuinely awe-inspiring. The location alone justifies serious consideration. Operationally, the staff performs at a high level — attentive, responsive, and consistently professional. Service quality is a clear strength. That said, the property shows craftsmanship gaps in certain construction and finish details — particularly in carpentry and masonry — where higher standards would materially elevate the resort’s overall impression. The primary weak point is the food program, which falls well below the level set by the location and service quality and deserves immediate improvement. Bottom line: exceptional setting, excellent staff, correct price point, premier location — with facility finishing and culinary execution representing the main opportunities for upgrade."

"Staff very helpful "

"hotel design blends seamlessly into the environment, rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff was all very friendly and helpful and food on site was delicious. Convenient for booking any water activities and easy access to what felt like a private beach. Highly recommend!"

"Wonderful luxury resort in quiet location situated on an idyllic beach. Staff were all superb, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. Food in the restaurant was great! "

"Beach side is the best catch for this place"

"Very friendly and helpful restaurant staff"

"La struttura ha camere grosse e pulite. La colazione a buffet è adatta a tutti i palati. La spiaggia davanti all'hotel (basta attraversare la strada) non fornisce lettini."
