Port Blair may be known as a big tourist destination but the biggest let down is a decent hotel..You dont have a single star hotel in this so called Emerald Isle..which is pathetic on the part of the Administration as they have never paid much attention to building proper infrastructure..
Bay island I guess was taken over by the ITC group a few years back and the high standards of ITC group is evident in every way..Though most of the the staffs including the ones at the front desk are locals and lack that suaveness but overall its a great experience..most of the rooms have a great view of the bay and the open sea..the rooms are spacious and nicely maintained..The hotel is completely made out of wood and so there is a lot of No smoking spots..Bad for the great smokers..They have a tidy bar and a nice restaurant..It is also the only hotel in Port Blair to have a swimming pool (Though a mini one)..But the water is salty..
The staff are quite courteous and eager to help you in all ways they can...
Recommended for a great stay..
