Sea Shell Port Blair
About Sea Shell Hotel
The Sea Shell Group has been in the hospitality business since 2000. It runs three resorts in the Andaman Islands, all offering luxurious and high-end accommodation facilities. The hotel in Port Blair is no different from its well-known counterparts – Sea Shell Havelock & Sea Shell Neil.
It is equipped with beautiful rooms, a great seafood restaurant, a charming rooftop lounge bar and a splendid view of the sea. The rooms are tastefully designed with comfortable beds, big TV, AC and clean en-suite bathroom. The deluxe rooms have small balconies overlooking the sea for relaxing after a busy day of sightseeing.
The staff is very helpful and can arrange a bunch of activities or day trips for their guests. The hotel could also be perfect for those travelling for business as it has a large banquet hall, business and conference centre. Located in the heart of Port Blair on a small hill, it is far enough to cut out the city noise yet close enough to enjoy all tourist activities. For all those who don’t mind spending a few extra bucks for comfort, this is a good choice.
Frequently asked questions
Do hotels in Andaman offer free Wi-Fi and mobile connectivity?
Basic Wi-Fi is available in most mid-range and luxury hotels, but internet speed can be slow, especially on islands like Havelock and Neil. Mobile connectivity is patchy outside Port Blair, with BSNL and Airtel being the most reliable.
Is it better to book hotels in advance or after reaching Andaman?
Advance booking is highly recommended, especially during peak season (December–March). Budget travelers might find walk-in options, but choices are limited and prices are higher last minute.
Can unmarried couples stay in hotels in Andaman?
Yes, most hotels in Andaman allow unmarried couples as long as both guests carry valid government-issued photo IDs. It's best to double-check policies for smaller homestays or lodges.
What are the check-in and check-out times in most hotels?
Most hotels in Andaman follow a 12:00 PM check-in and 10:00 AM check-out policy, but timings may vary. Some properties allow early check-in or late check-out based on availability.
Do hotels in Andaman accept digital payments and cards?
Yes, most hotels accept UPI, credit/debit cards, and cash. However, on remote islands, it’s wise to carry some cash, as internet outages may affect digital payment systems.
