We enjoyed every moment of our stay at Barefoot scuba resort. They really made our vacation memorable. Nice beaches, good food & hospitable staff added to our pleasant experience. We'd love to come back to stay at the property to enjoy the serene surroundings & hospitable staff. Thank you.

We had a tented cottage for the week and were diving every morning. The accomodation was clever and fun in its concept, very "Raj". It was clean, spacious and altogether very pleasant (even though the bed had little bounce). Housekeeeping, reception, and restaurant staff looked after us incredibly well as did the diving crew who worked so hard to make... More

We all had 5 days diving included. 2 of our friends completed their PADI Advanced Diver courses. The instructor was very good indeed. My wife & I stayed in... More

My husband and I signed up eagerly. This was going to be our first snorkeling trip. Next day in the morning, a jeep... More

Barefoot Scuba is a bunch of good, but nothing great. The rooms are comfortable. The restaurant is okay, but you will find better up and down the beach. The beach and swimming can be great if the tide is in, but once it goes out, you have a long walk over rocks to water deep enough for swimming. A few... More

Barefoot Scuba at Havelock island was a wonderful experience. The full turnkey package including transfers at airport, jetty and stay at Port Blair made the experience a very memorable one. I would recommend such a package to any traveller to the Andamans.

I stayed in this hotel in March 2013 and I must say that I have never seen such rude and unprofessional staff ever in any hotel or resort. I reached this resort at 12 noon and I was told that both of the rooms I booked are not ready and I should wait for sometime in their restaurant. I thought... More
