Laxmi Continental Resort

Location The property is located at the farthest corner of the road leading to it. You will not find any mode of transport on this road easily. You have to ask hotel staff and they have commission for everything. I found this road a little dark during night. They can surely install some road lights to increase the visibility specially during night. Rooms Room was not cleaned properly before we checked in and there was lot of dust and sand all over. We stayed just for one night so it did not bother us much. Bathroom had a very bad odour which we had to tolerate. Used our own bath kit as the ones provided were horrible. Can't expect much there. Ambience Overall ambience was good. There was a function going on the day we stayed or a scan I would say. Don't devote a single minute to them as they will just waste your precious time in the name of promotions. I knew this already so did not fall prey to it. Food and service Food was very bad to say the least. Whatever we asked for was unavailable. Also, our order was modified without us knowing and we had to change some items. They took unnecessarily long time to prepare main course. To add to this annoyance, they prepared undercooked chilly chicken. It ruined the entire evening for us. During check out they did deduct the price for this item when we gave this feedback. Fair enough but damage was already done. If you decide this property for your stay, keep in mind that two of the staff boys are very cunning and they try to take commission in every service you ask for, be it hailing a cab/auto or arranging a site visit. Food, cleanliness in the room and bathroom. Service was delayed.

pros 1) Nice exterior cons 1) No mobile signal within resort. Communicating with local cab driver was a real pain because of network issue. 2) Wifi is available only at reception and no wifi within Rooms. The wifi at reception was extremely slow. A real deal breaker as you are completely cut off because of no mobile network plus no wifi facility by resort. 3) Food wasn't great... very basic meals and tasteless most of it. Please don't opt for dinner meals. 4) The shower within the rooms are of no use. you will have to use bucket and mug for taking shower. 5) the road to the resort have big pot holes and risky to ride two wheelers on such roads. 6) Check out time is 8.00 am and on a lot of request will probably extend till 9.00 am but not beyond that. (Probably most of Neil island resorts have check out time as 8.00 am due to ferry timings) 7) AC within rooms takes a lot of time to cool. 8) The blanket was missing a cover. We had to request to place a cover for the blanket. Cheaper than other hotels but not worth staying and spending holiday time at this hotel.

This hotel has spacious rooms. As we are family of 4 they gave us extra bed with 800 Rs extra charge per night. Landscape and decoration of the hotel with light is beautiful. Laksmanpur Sunset point is approx2 km from hotel where grilled fish among other snack items are available. This hotel has in house resturant where delicious foods both veg and nonveg are available but I think quantity is less. But food is costly in Havelock and Neil island. AC was working and toilet also was big in size. But the hotel is somewhat inside from main road and not on beach side. But you can easily reach main road by walking. You may not get any running auto but you have to hire auto/ cab for full sight seeing. we enjoyed beautiful landscape at morning and light decoration outside the hotel at night. I think this hotel is value for money. we wanted a spacious room where all four family members can stay together and we get that. we stayed in double bedded room.

The staff Mr Pramod and the Owner Sarojit is very helpful. From the point of check-in till check out their hospitality was excellent. Even owner did our government ferry tickets booking by being in line in early morning at patawari office and did not charge a single extra penny from us. Breakfast and food is affordable and delicious 😋. Paoaya from the garden they served us free of cost. It was fresh directly from the tree and tasty. They are also providing water Sport. Feel free to explore this hotel, its affordable, very well maintained and beautiful hotel. Everything
