Symphony Palms Beach Resort

The Cottages are very big and comfortable. AC was working fine, television not that much because of the bad signal on the island. But you won't need a tv because you should go out to enjoy the beaches. Same for the Wifi. The hotel has a very nice beach to view the sunset and to swim in the sea (only during the right timings). The Staff was very very nice, the food good and the whole hotel is very clean. Overall I had a nice stay at would come back.

The hotel is ok as per standards outside, but in havelock as compared to other places (which had tents and huts) this was nice (wooden structure). The rooms are very close to each other and bathroom is ok. You don't have hot water facility in it. no geyser. while booking I thought it opens on a beach, but thats only for lagoon cottages. The rest are on the other side of the road, though not far. The arrangement and view on the beach side is nice. Food is overpriced. Though overall a nice hotel as compared to the other ones in havelock.

The staff were great and helpful and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. We did not eat in the restaurant but the breakfast was fine and varied. The biggest issue for us was the constant building work. Expedia makes no mention of it on their website. Behind the restaurant, which everyone has to pass there is a huge mound of rocks and rubble. There’s a partially built bar area and behind the room block is another block being built. The pool is lovely but there are no loungers and when we asked for somewhere to sit the staff bought out two dining chairs. At the pool area there was the constant noise of tile cutting and dust. Each room has its own patio with seating but sitting here you could hear construction work. Either side of the pool is a path and this was used by trucks to transport materials to the building site beyond. They claim that it’s a private beach but it’s a section of the beach, which not unpleasant, can be accessed from other hotels along the beach. Many people walk back and forth along the beach so I’m not sure this qualifies as private. There some very heavy wooden loungers but they are out of the sun and have no mattresses. The beach is across the road from the hotel The photos shown on line are a row of newish cabins which are from the road to the beach. If using one of these you would have to cross the road for breakfast and the pool. We were bitterly disappointed, and let down by Expedia
