Part of me loved this place... part of me really didn't like it. Had arranged for pickup from airport and transfer to ferry port... bit of a farce. Guy who was there to pick us up had no name badge, no proof he was in anyway connected to the resort and only found him after looking around and him happening... More

Room are neat & clean. Also the hut are so close to the beach that you really enjoy the view.The view is awesome from the hut. Only the problem is common toilets for single room Hut. But the toilets are clean. Food is tasty but there is only very limited choice for Veg. food

The Emerald Gecko is located at Beach no. 5, on the east side of Havelock. It is located at around 100m from the road and directly at the beach with lots of trees for shade. We stayed for a whole week with our family of six, four kids aged 3, 8, 11 and 13 years old. They have not been... More

I stayed here Dec 2012. I saw the excellent reviews however this was not my experience. The restaurant food was OK. The Bungalow was sooo hot during evening. I had one close to the sea so all the stray dogs wander there especially during he evening hence I had to leave the door closed with no air. OMG was it... More

The resort is barely 10-15m from the beach and the beach... More

The location is superb, with constant cool breezes and shade amongst the palms and mangroves, space for our hammocks, and great people to meet. Manoj and his team are always helpful and smiling, and the included breakfast offers... More

pluses: The place is definitely beautiful, peaceful, serene and on a very beautiful beach - beach #5. Staff is probably the best that I have seen at any such property. Well ventilated huts. Water refilling station near the reception. minuses: Many people have called this a budget hotel in their reviews but only one review was correct, the huts are... More

Situated on a lovely strech of sand near the end of the beach, this cluster of huts is well maintained and very peaceful. We stayed in a bamboo cabin about 150 meters away from the beach: it had an outside patio, an attached bathroom, good mosquito net and a fan plus a friendly social scene buzzing due to the physical...

The restaurant is very nice - good food and... More
