I had a fantastic stay at this hotel while traveling between Port Blair and Havelock Island. The welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff made a lasting impression. The sea view rooms were comfortable and well-appointed, with stunning views of the ocean.

I had an amazing stay at Sea Shell in Port Blair! The hotel is beautifully maintained, and the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcomed. The rooftop bar, Amaya, was a highlight with great views and excellent food. The only downside was that some areas were under renovation, but it didn't affect our overall experience. I can't wait to return and explore their other properties.

We had a pleasant stay at The Seashell Port Blair. The hospitality was one of the best aspects, with staff going above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. The rooms, especially the deluxe one, offered a great view and were clean, but the basic category left much to be desired.
