Hotels, Resorts & Places to stay :)

Hey all, well we started our journey excitingly and reached Lakshadweep Islands so far. Now lets see hotels and places to stay.

                              




The best places for any short vacation are the tourists’ guest houses in each of the islands. Tourist guest houses are operated by the tourism department (SPORTS – Society for promotion of tourism and Sports). Tourist guest houses generally have a beach view. Tourist guest houses cost a bit more but the hospitality is on par with good hotels.


NOTE : Government officers or people who are coming to visit Lakshadweep islands on government work can book rooms in State Guest house.

There are also some budget hotels like  AL-BE Hotel at the main junction near Auto Stand,  where prices starts from Rs300 (Non-AC) per day to  Rs1000(AC) per day. AL-BE Hotel is very near  (walk-able distance) to the main jetty where we can see the small Boats and Cargo Ships which are moored in one place. In the Evening during sunset, walking on the jetty gives you a wonderful feeling. Also is a Super Market just beside Al-be hotel, so is SEA LINE restaurant, which I guess is the best in Kavaratti after Tourist Hut run by the government.
