A perfect holiday is an amalgamation of excellent hospitality, scrumptious food, a calming ambience and serenity. It is just what you need to decompress and feel the stress leave your body as you take steps towards tranquillity. Our stay at Lemon Tree Port Blair offered us just that

Lemon Tree Port Blair Review

Lemon Tree Port Blair: Convenience and excellent hospitality

Before we set off on our exhilarating adventure in the Middle Andamans, we decided to pamper ourselves in Port Blair and Lemon Tree proved to be an excellent choice. Its signature lemon fragrance, cutting-edge interiors and seamless service allowed us to relax and rejuvenate after a long journey.

Lemon Tree Port Blair Review

We had a long overnight layover at Chennai owing to a last-minute flight rescheduling and were delighted to enter the hotel in less than two minutes after leaving the airport. And that’s not an exaggeration! The check-in process was smooth and efficient.  Moreover, we were informed at the reception that all major tourist destinations were within a 5 km radius. With 48 rooms and suites, Citrus Café, Slounge and conference areas, Lemon Tree we can confidently say that this place has everything for the business or leisure traveller

Suite room Lemon Tree Port Blair Review

The suite room is truly something special. With its lavish furnishings and gorgeous artwork, this room is both beautiful and relaxing. The large bed is very plush and perfect for a good night’s sleep. The suite features a large flat-screen TV for entertainment and a mini-bar for drinks. It has luxurious amenities throughout with calming hues and plush furnishings you’ll love sinking into after a long day of work – or play!

We loved the fact the hotel is eco-conscious. They offer only half a glass of water at the restaurant, glass bottles instead of plastic ones and dispensers instead of single-use toiletries which we thought was awesome. The hotel also featured a wall with plastic bottles converted into a vertical garden. We were quite pleased to see it.

Here’s a list of amenities available:

  • Electronic Safe
  • Tea/Coffee Maker
  • Full-sized working desk
  • Telephones with global* direct dialling and voice mail
  • LCD TV
  • WiFi access in the lobby for two devices per guest
  • Local Cable Channels

We were quite pleased for choosing this luxurious stay option and thoroughly enjoyed the delicious platter that lay waiting for us as a surprise.

Dining at Citrus Café

After a refreshing shower, we headed towards Citrus Café, a bright, cheery place with a menu featuring Indian, European, Western pan-Asian dishes and even coastal delights.

We were served a flavoursome and simple fare on our request. We were too hungry to click photos but the food was just what we needed after a tiring journey.

The breakfast the next morning featured an assortment of options and live stations. I particularly enjoyed their dosa station. Our breakfast was hearty, varied and gave us fuel to start off on our journey to different parts of Andamans. They also offer packed breakfasts for guests who have an early checkout or an early start to their day. Inform the reception the night before and they will ensure you have something yummy packed for you. Now that’s hospitality at its best.

In the evening, however, we had requested their signature romantic dinner set up and I will tell you more about it soon.

Lounging at Slounge

Slounge features foot-tapping music, a cosy ambience and fun drinks. It has an intimate yet energetic atmosphere with drinks that combine the familiar and new in terms of flavours. Try out their uniquely crafted cocktails from various corners of the world including India!

An evening to remember at Lemon Tree Port Blair

Our perfect evening began with a romantic dinner curated by the fabulous staff at Lemon Tree. Soothing melodies, charming ambience, delicious mocktails, inviting seafood, local specialities and desserts gave us a fairy talesque evening. They are amongst very hotels who offer this lovely service which is quite popular amongst locals and tourists alike. It is a great way to commemorate special occasions or even host intimate gatherings with your loved ones.

Everything under one roof: Your one-stop destination at Port Blair

A unique aspect of Lemon Tree Port Blair was the fact that it has everything you can ever want under one roof. Their travel desk is absolutely helpful to plan a fabulous trip. We booked a cab for a day and were thoroughly impressed with the service provided by the driver and the hotel.

From helpful tips given by the General Manager Mr Soumya (who BTW has a wealth of information on the Andamans) to staff that went out of their way to make our stay memorable, we were impressed.

The hotel has a gym for those who like to continue their fitness routines. They also have a cute souvenir shop where we purchased fridge magnets for our friends and families. The prices were great and on par with other shops in the area.

The hotel also has banquet balls to host events and is quite popular.

Last Thoughts on Lemon Tree Port Blair

Lemon Tree Port Blair Review

Its luxurious suites, cordial staff and peaceful ambience gave us the perfect beginning to our long vacation in Andamans.

    I have never stayed at a Lemon Tree hotel. It looks like a comfortable place to stay while checking out the area.

    Looks like a great place to stay. I’m super picky about where I’ll sleep and I think that customer service is always important.

We continue to write on an eclectic range of topics from the funniest autorickshaw signs that we have spotted in Mumbai to how to bathe an elephant.

Save this post an #Offbeat Andamans trip: Part 3 Save this post an #Offbeat Andamans trip: Part 3  After spending blissful days at Long Island, it was time to return to Port Blair. Since we skipped Havelock and Neil, North Bay Island was the best option available for scuba diving and sea-walk.  After a rushed breakfast, we drove to Rajiv Gandhi Sports Complex to book our tickets. Booking through an agent is not required though we do recommend pre-booking your activities in advance. After a quick hour-long stop to Ross Island, we were finally at North Bay.  Abuzz with excitement and nerves, we took the glass boat ride which cost Rs. 1000 per head. It was strictly ok and I would honestly recommend skipping it. You can have a much closer look at the corals while diving or going for a sea-walk.  Some refreshing coconut water later, we were all set to learn scuba diving. Now, I had already consumed whatever information I could find on the internet to "learn" scuba diving but at the end of the day, what your instructor says is sacred. Follow instructions and you will be fine.  It was a good experience overall but I feel it was too rushed for first-timers. Srikanth was able to do it in his first attempt, I failed after three attempts and decided to go sea-walking. I found Nemo of course, spotted a bunch of corals and was enthralled by the underwater acrobatics performed by my co-diver.  BTW @lemontreehotels is of course is the best place to stay while in Port Blair. Gorging on the delicious food at Citrus Cafe is just what you need after an exciting day of watersports and diving.  Do you have any questions about Andamans? We are always happy to help.  #andamanadventure #andamansea #andamanandnicobarislands #andamanlifestyle #andamanislands #andamandiaries #exploreandamans #wonderful_places #dslrofficial #ig_myshots #natgeotravel #instagoodmyphoto #mumbaitravellers #munniofalltrades #mumbaitravelblogger
Save this post an #OffbeatAndamans trip: Part 2 A Save this post an #OffbeatAndamans trip: Part 2  A 30-minute ride through mangroves led us to Long Island. As our boat bumbled along, we enjoyed conversations with locals who gave us some useful tips on the islands we must visit during our speedboat rides.  Sumai Reef Resort (INR: 2600 per night) which has 6 beautiful tents named after local fishes was our abode for the next couple of days. We stayed at 'Parshe' fish tent.  The only other place you can stay at Long Island is Blue Planet which is closed for repairs.  Cheerful chirps and calm greeted us wherever we went. I am not exaggerating when I say that we had entire islands to ourselves. The beauty of our stay at Long Island was in the fact that we could cover most of the island on foot, stop over to strangers' houses for a chai and a chat and make friends wherever we went. Over two days, we hired a speed boat to travel to Lalaji Bay, the other end of Long Island, Guitar Island and Merck Bay. I also got a free lesson in driving a speed boat which I did not crash. Yes, it is as thrilling as it sounds :)  Stay tuned for Part 3 of our #OffbeatAndamans trip  #andamanadventure #andamansea #andamanandnicobarislands #andamanlifestyle #andamanislands #andamandiaries #exploreandamans #wonderful_places #dslrofficial #ig_myshots #natgeotravel #instagoodmyphoto #incredibleindia #munniofalltrades #mumbaitravelblogger
Save this post an #OffbeatAndamans trip: Superla Save this post an #OffbeatAndamans trip:  Superlatives fall short to describe the beauty of Andamans. We wanted to be away from the maddening crowds and spend a quiet week amidst nature. Middle Andamans proved to be perfect for an idyllic vacation.  We started our journey at Port Blair staying with @lemontreehotels and pampered ourselves with a quiet romantic dinner. It is the best place to stay when in Port Blair and is less than 200 meters from the airport.  The next morning we set off on a 6-hour long road trip to Rangat, a quiet town that is home to four beautiful beaches. The locals have started eco-tourism initiatives to ensure the place remains pristine. We visited Aamkunj beach, Dhani Nalla beach, Morrice Dera Beach and Ram Bageecha beach.  We had beaches to ourselves wherever we went. We could swim, run around or simply bask in the sun and enjoy the uninterrupted views of the sea.  We stayed at Bliss Holiday Resort, small boutique property abundant with coconut trees and flowers.  Our next stop was Long Island and I will tell you all about it in my next post :)  #offbeatandaman #andamans #mumbaitravelblogger #munniofalltrades #beautifulandamans
