Kevin's Andaman Adventure: Unforgettable Port Blair!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into Kevin's Andaman Adventure: Unforgettable Port Blair! This isn't your sterile travel brochure read, this is going to be real. Think of it like that friend who's way too enthusiastic about their vacation, but in a good way. I'm going to spill the tea, the chai, and maybe a little something extra about this place. Let's do this… but first, a disclaimer: I am not Kevin. I haven't actually been to Kevin's Andaman Adventure. However, I've got the information, the enthusiasm, and the slightly chaotic approach to make this review sing.
Alright, let's get messy.
First Impressions & Accessibility: (Wobbly Steps, But Still Stepping!)
So, the first thing, and this is HUGE, is the accessibility. I'm not entirely sure what details are available about this hotel's adaptability, but I do know that Facilities for disabled guests are mentioned so there must be some. Now, "facilities for disabled guests" can be so vague, right? Like, does it just mean a ramp to the front door, or are we talking proper consideration throughout the property? I'm hoping for the latter, but it's something you'll DEFINITELY want to clarify before booking. Also, I noticed the presence of an Elevator, always a massive win for anyone with mobility issues, or anyone hauling luggage after a long flight (guilty!).
Internet: (Thank the Internet Gods!)
Okay, internet. This is crucial. Vacations are great, but let's be real: we all need to stay connected, whether it's for work, posting those Instagrammable sunset pics, or just to annoy your friends with vacation updates (again… guilty). Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! YES! That's what I want! And Internet access – wireless, double YES! I need that baby! Plus, Internet access – LAN (for wired connection, if you’re old school or need maximum reliability) and Internet services in general are listed. So, good for you, Kevin's!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: (Spa Day Dreams and Island Adventures)
Here’s where things get seriously tempting. Swimming pool [outdoor]? Check. Pool with view? Double check! I'm picturing myself right now, sipping a cocktail, watching the waves… sigh. If you're into pampering, and who isn't on vacation, there's a Spa, and within that, a Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Massage, Body scrub, and Body wrap. I’m already mentally booking a full day of treatments. Hello, relaxation!
They've also got a Fitness center which may or may not be on my radar. This goes back to the whole "vacation vs. actual life" thing. Maybe.
The Things to do category is a bit vague, but hopefully, they’ll have lots of information about activities, tours, or watersports. It’s Port Blair! C'mon! Island life!
Cleanliness & Safety: (Feeling Secure and Sanitized!)
Okay, this is important. Especially now. Kevin's seems to be taking things seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, Rooms sanitized between stays, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, and Sterilizing equipment … that all sounds pretty reassuring. I'm looking for that extra level of cleanliness as a must-have. They have First aid kit and a Doctor/nurse on call, just in case. The Safety/security feature, CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property are all plus points.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking: (Food, Glorious Food!)
Alright, listen up foodies! This is going to be good. There's a Restaurant, but better yet, Restaurants. Got it! The presence of Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, and Vegetarian restaurant are great inclusions. Plus, A la carte in restaurant, Buffet in restaurant, and Breakfast [buffet] so, choice, choice, choice! There's also a Coffee/tea in restaurant, a Coffee shop, and a Poolside bar, which is basically a must for any tropical getaway. They have a Snack bar, and Desserts in restaurant. They don't seem to have breakfast takeaway service, but Room service [24-hour] is in place.
Services & Conveniences: (The Little Things That Make a Big Difference)
Daily housekeeping. Bless, the people! So many things to make life super easy: Air conditioning in public area, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Currency exchange, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Food delivery, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities (for those who have to mix business with pleasure, ugh),Safety deposit boxes, and a Terrace! And Air conditioning in the rooms. Total comfort.
For the Kids: (Family Friendly, or Maybe Not?)
There are Family/child friendly options available, so it's a good fit if you're travelling with children. They also have Babysitting service.
Available in All Rooms: (The Creature Comforts)
This is where the magic happens. Air conditioning (yesssss), Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea and Desk are a must. I also want to see Free bottled water, Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Mini bar, Private bathroom, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Seating area, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, and Wi-Fi [free]. They also have Wake-up service, so you'll never miss a glorious sunrise.
Getting Around: (Mobility within the Hotel)
Airport transfer is listed, which is huge, especially after a long flight. Car park [free of charge] is awesome, plus Car park [on-site] if available. There's also a Taxi service.
The "Wait, There's More" Section (The Quirks!)
This is where I find those quirky details that make a place memorable. I am hoping for a Shrine, Smoking area (for those who partake), and even a Bottle of water. Also, a Couple's room is mentioned, so… romance is in the air!
Okay, Here's the Deal: The "Kevin's Andaman Adventure: Unforgettable Port Blair!" Offer (or, how to get me to book!)

KEVINS – Port Blair: A Messy Odyssey (AKA My Trip, Basically)
Day 1: Arrival and the Existential Dread of Paradise
Morning (ish - I missed my alarm, shocker): Landed in Port Blair. Humidity hit me like a brick wall – a warm, sticky brick wall. The airport? Tiny. The baggage claim? A free-for-all. Found my luggage (eventually) – a minor miracle, honestly. The driver sent by Kevin's Resort waved a sign with my name, a slightly sad smile and an overwhelming sense of “Oh God, it’s happening.”
Afternoon: Checked into Kevin's. It’s… charming. Let’s go with charming. The “sea view” room is definitely a view of the sea, if you squint and ignore the palm trees. The air con… well, it has opinions. Right now, its opinion is “mildly cooler than the outside”. Settle in. I'm already covered in sweat.
Quirky Observation: The staff at Kevin’s are relentlessly cheerful. Even when I nearly walked into the pool because I was staring at a passing lizard. Maybe it's the island air? Or maybe they’re just used to idiot tourists, like me.
Afternoon-Evening: (A) Exploring and (B) Getting Lost: Attempted a walk. The heat is relentless. Turns out, Google Maps doesn’t work quite right on the Andamans. Ended up wandering around, feeling like a lost goldfish in a heatwave. Found a local chai shop. Best chai of my life. The old woman making it just beamed at me. That saved the day, really.
Evening: Dinner at Kevin's. Fabulous seafood! I inhaled a plate of grilled prawns, ignoring the persistent ants trying to join the party. Bed early, hoping the air con would eventually decide to fully participate. Also, battling a surprisingly strong wave of existential dread about being alone on a tropical island. Is this what happens at my age?
Day 2: Cellular Jail and a Lesson in Humanity (and Mosquitoes)
Morning: Cellular Jail. Okay, this is not a lighthearted experience. The stories… the history… it’s heavy. Bloody heavy. Seeing the cells, the gallows… it's a gut punch. The guide, a local man with a quiet voice, spoke of suffering with such… quiet dignity. It made the whole experience even more moving and heavy.
Emotional Reaction: I cried. Properly. I cried at the sheer resilience of the human spirit, and I cried at the cruelty humans inflict on each other. I needed a stiff drink afterward.
Afternoon: The afternoon was a total contrast. Chilling at Corbyn's Cove beach. The water is turquoise. The sand is perfect. The sun is… relentless. I made the fatal error of forgetting mosquito repellent. By the time I noticed the first bite, I was already being devoured. Seriously. They’re like tiny, bloodthirsty ninjas. Scratched like an idiot.
Messy Structure: Right, where were we? Oh yeah, the beach. I tried to take a nap. Failed miserably. The humidity, the insects, the incessant squeak of a kid on a swing… It was a symphony of annoyance.
Quirky Observation: I saw a guy trying to build a sandcastle…with a tiny spade. I mean, bless him. His determination was admirable! He was completely failing as well.
Evening: Another seafood feast, after showering off all the mosquito bites and mental baggage. Contemplated buying a net and never leaving my room. Ended up chatting with a couple from Manchester. They were lovely. We grumbled about the heat and the mosquitoes. Bonded over shared misery.
Day 3: Havelock Island, and Diving Into My Fears (Literally)
Morning: Ferry to Havelock Island. The journey took 2hrs and was like one of those awful amusement-park rides, with a few moments of pure, beautiful ocean views.
Afternoon: Arrived at Havelock and went straight to scuba diving. I’m terrified of deep water. Seriously, this was a huge deal for me. I’d put it off for years. The instructor, a young woman named Maya, was amazing. Patient, encouraging… the kind of person who makes you think, "Maybe I can do this."
Doubling Down on Experience: The dive itself? Honestly, magical. The water was crystal clear. The coral was vibrant. Schools of fish shimmered past. I felt… weightless. Free. The fear evaporated. The world opened to me, suddenly a big, peaceful place. I could have stayed down there for hours. Coming up was like another level of relief.
Emotional Reaction: I almost cried again. But this time, it was pure joy. It wasn’t just the diving. It was facing the fear and overcoming it. It was feeling small and insignificant and absolutely connected. It was the best thing I've done in ages.
Evening: Beachside dinner on Havelock. Under the starlit sky. Perfect. I finally felt… at peace. Still got eaten by mosquitoes, but I was more okay with it this time.
Day 4: Back to Reality (And More Mosquitoes)
Morning: Said goodbye to Havelock (and its perfect beaches). Ferry back to Port Blair. The journey, thankfully, was smooth.
Afternoon: Explored the local market in Port Blair. It was loud, bustling, and chaotic. So many smells and spices and things I couldn't even begin to identify! Bought some souvenirs. Probably spent too much on some questionable trinkets that I wouldn’t need.
Quirky Observation: The sheer number of people on scooters is impressive. Scooters carrying families of five… scooters carrying chickens… scooters carrying precariously balanced stacks of fruit. It’s a whole other art form.
Evening: Final dinner at Kevin's. Reflecting on the trip. It wasn't perfect. The heat was relentless. The mosquitoes were brutal. I got lost. I ate too much. I cried a little (or a lot). And yet… it was beautiful. Absolutely, messy, wonderfully human.
Day 5: Departure and the Promise to Return (Maybe With More Repellent, and Less Existentialism)
Morning: Packed. Said goodbye to the cheerful staff at Kevin's. They probably thought I was a complete weirdo.
Afternoon: Airport. The departure gate was as chaotic as the arrival. I bought a bottle of water that cost more than my first week's rent.
Emotional Reaction: A strange sense of melancholy. I was leaving paradise, but maybe more importantly, I was leaving myself. I was happy, though.
Evening: Plane home. Already missing the sound of the ocean. Promising myself to come back. Next time… I'm bringing extra insect repellent. And maybe, just maybe, a little less baggage.
Kevin's Andaman Adventure: Unforgettable Port Blair! (Or, You Know, Mostly Memorable) - A Real-Talk FAQ
So, Kevin, why Andaman? What was the *big* idea?
Okay, so the "big idea" was mostly Instagram guilt. You know? Seeing everyone's tropical paradise shots while I'm stuck staring at spreadsheets. My therapist said "exposure to beauty," so there it is. Plus, the photos of Andaman – they were *unreal*. Beaches you could probably see the curvature of the earth from, crystal-clear water... I was sold, hook, line, and sinker… and probably some of the local fish, too. (Spoiler alert: I ate a *lot* of fish.)
Did it *live up* to the hype? Spill the beans!
Okay, listen. Let's be real. Some of it was *amazing*. Like, jaw-droppingly, "I can't believe this exists" amazing. But… and you knew there was a "but," right?… it's not all perfectly curated Insta-bliss. The ferry rides? Oh, the ferry rides. Think crowded, sweaty, and me trying not to lose my lunch (seasickness, people, it's a thing!). And the mosquitos! I swear, they saw me as a buffet. But the sunsets? Absolutely worth every mosquito bite and seasick episode. Seriously, the sunsets were *divine*.
What was the *most* incredible experience? Go on, paint the picture!
Okay, buckle up. This one's a doozy. Scuba diving at Havelock Island. Now, I'm not going to lie, I was *terrified*. Underwater? With giant fish? And the potential of my snorkel filling with… well, you know the drill. But I did it. And it was... I'm tearing up a little just thinking about it. The world down there… it's another planet. Schools of fish, coral that looked like stained glass, a sea turtle casually swimming by... I felt like I was floating in a kaleidoscope. I'm not a religious person, but that's as close to a spiritual experience as I've ever had. I'll never forget it. Okay, maybe I *will* forget the names of all the fish (blame the dive instructor's rapid-fire explanations), but the *feeling*? That's locked in forever. Completely and utterly unforgettable. It's the reason I'd go back tomorrow, even with all the other inevitable mishaps.
Let's talk about the food. Was it as amazing as everyone says?
Yes. And no. The seafood? *Unreal*. Fresh, perfectly grilled, you name it. I'm pretty sure I consumed my weight in prawns. The spicy curries were a revelation. But… and here comes the reality check… sometimes, the service was… let's call it "island time." You might wait a bit. And once, at this place that *looked* super promising, my fried rice tasted suspiciously like… well, like they'd forgotten the seasoning. It was a bit bland. But even the misses were kind of… charming? It’s the imperfections, the slightly burnt toast, the long waits, that add color to travel.
Any real travel disasters? Come on, everyone has them!
Oh, where do I even *begin*? Okay, there was the time I thought I packed enough sunscreen. I didn't. Result: Kevin = lobster. The sun *does not* mess around in Andaman. Then there was the scooter incident (don't ask). Let's just say I'm not allowed near a two-wheeled vehicle ever again. And the most epic disaster? The Power Outage of '23. I was right in the middle of a very important mango shake, in a very crucial moment of relaxation, and BAM! Dark. No shake. Suffice to say, that shake was missed. And the hotel's "backup generator" was… well, let's just say I got very friendly with my phone's flashlight.
Best beach? Worst beach? Dish the dirt!
Best beach: Radhanagar Beach on Havelock Island. Seriously, go. Soft white sand, turquoise water, pure bliss. Pure, unadulterated Insta-perfection. Worst beach? Okay, this is going to sound harsh, but there was a beach that was… well, let’s just say it had a bit too much seaweed for my liking. And the sand wasn't as… pristine as I'd hoped. It was still *okay*, but compared to Radhanagar? Let’s just call it the "Slightly Disappointing Beach."
Any tips for other aspiring Andaman adventurers?
Oh, yes! Pack more sunscreen than you think you'll need (seriously). Learn some basic Hindi phrases – trust me, it helps. Embrace the chaos. Ferry schedules? They're just suggestions. Be prepared for power outages. Bring mosquito repellent. And most importantly: be flexible. Things *will* go wrong. But those “wrong” things often become the best stories. Also, try the seafood. All the seafood. And tip generously – the people there are wonderful. Oh, and one more thing... bring a good book. And maybe a spare pair of shoes, one more thing!
Would you go back? Really?
In a heartbeat. Even with the ferry rides, the mosquitos, the potential for sunburn. Because hidden away between those irritations, are moments of pure magic. Scuba diving. Those sunsets. The sheer beauty of the place. The food (mostly). Yes, I'd go back. Maybe next time I'll even try to handle the scooter. (Kidding! Definitely not the scooter.) But seriously? Yes. Andaman, you've got me hooked. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go stare at some pictures to relive it all...
Any final thoughts?
Just… go. Seriously. Stop overthinking it. Book the flight. Pack your bags. You probably won't regret it. Also, be prepared to come back feeling slightly sunburnt, slightly broke, and completely, utterly, and wonderfully changed. Oh, and remember to bring a camera, you'll want the proof!
