Senses Havelock Resort

We liked this hotel because it has excellent location and all what needs a tourist during the holiday: good but small room,bathroom with everything you need,conditioner, WI fi, breakfast ( but very plain), very helpful staff. There are some kafes nearby. Senses havelock hotel is very cute and clean. The beach is 5 minutes walking. Also want to thank his manager Mr. Susmit for his hospitality and for meeting us and delivering to hotel

Felt very cornered on arrival to settle the bill ASAP in a manner that best suited the hotel. We were requested to pay the tax separately in cash and we're then made to feel stupid for expecting to be able to pay with a foreign card. Needed to ask on multiple occasions to have our room serviced. The room was not serviced until the 4th day. We were left having to go to reception to request items such as tea, toilet paper and towels. Stains on the pillow cases and the sheets were not changed for the duration of our 7night stay. The private access to the beach is through what can be best described as a squalid destruction site. The area which is said to be private has a group of people living amongst the trees and the beach is littered with plastic. Breakfast buffet had a very narrow and repetitive range.

Stayed for 2 nights at Senses Havelock, but our stay was pretty average at this newly built hotel. I would rate it as 3 stars out of 5. What we liked around the hotel is the amazing Vijaynagar beach just after crossing the front road. That beach is extremely beautiful and very clean, very less crowded and we get an awesome view of the ocean when we specially go in mornings. What we did not find in the hotel as per our expectations - 1. Room size extremely small (100 sq.ft) 2. Food quality needs a lot of improvement, oily food and have very limited options in complimentary breakfast. Not like standard buffet breakfast we get these days in any premium hotels. 3. Complimentary Drinking water in the room was provided in used Bisleri bottles. Who does that? 4. Swimming pool is still under construction. 5. Staff behavior good and helping for anything we asked them. But they definitely need more professional training. I would say its a long way for this hotel to become a 1st choice hotel.
