Matsya Island Retreat

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Matsya. The location is midway between both sides of the island and very peaceful, although it is best if you have a car/scooter rather than relying on autos. The only downside was that the WiFi was very patchy.

Its my second trip to Havelock and this time, my family with two kids spent two nights in this wonderful place. I love architecture as well as nature and the place is designed to organically blend with the nearby greenery, the hills, the palm trees, the beautiful stream nearby. Its a wonderful sight from the rooftop as well as from your rooms. The room and the bathroom both are elegant, artful, well crafted and aesthetically pleasing. The owner Ali is a wonderful person and gives full attention for your wonderful stay. As for Matsya, its peaceful and quiet environment gives you that peaceful stay and the location suits you for travelling and cover all of the beaches- Radhanagar, Elephant and Kalapatthar beaches. The staff are very warm and the hotel manager ensures a pleasant stay including your pickup from the jetty, your travelling and sightseeing in Havelock and your departure. All in all, I would sum up that Matsya is also one of the wonderful place worth visiting in Havelock.

Overall a much different experience from other resorts and hotels I have visited and very good one. Everything was top notch - the cleanliness, food, room amenities, and other things. The food at cafe 4 was delicious and of great variety. Definitely, a very memorable experience.
