Grand Andaman Resort

The word 'Grand' is not one I would use to describe this place. It's just an ordinary slightly dated and a little grubby resort. Although the location initially feels lovely, the reality dawn's when you want some food or drink in the evening. Nearest restaurants are 5kms away, along with the 7-11 ( which is the only place to buy alcoholic drinks). I skipped breakfast on the first day in favour of a 7-11 sandwich, because of a noisy group of Thai people that were drunk. The following morning I went, and had pre ordered ' phad kaprow'. Firstly they brought the wrong dish within moments of sitting, then after a few more moments they handed me a plate of food that I instantly pushed away. Stone cold rice with a shriveled fried egg on top with no more than a spoonful of phad kaprow next to it. Once again, the 7-11 sandwich will be my breakfast. I was so looking forward to staying here. The pictures and Agoda reviews were all similarly written, so I'm guessing they might not be as accurate as you would expect. For the price I expected a lot more!

After Koh Lipe, we wanted to escape the crowd. The location of this resort next to the entrance of Petra National park is very unique. Breakfast is at the beautiful cozy coffeeshop in the front. The owner Tja speaks perfect English and is very knowledgable of the area. Also the son of Tja is so nice and welcoming. After the overdeveloped Koh Lipe, we are so happy to feel real Thai life and hospitality again.

I and my lover stayed at the resort for 1 night. Is a VIP type room.Which I think is more suitable for the family room The room facing the sea But next to the road which is in the middle, makes a loud noise during the daytime because it is the entrance to the national park. The staff and the owners are smiling and friendly. In the morning you can see the sunrise at the bedroom. From the resort, not far from Pakbara Pier, which is not difficult to travel. Breakfast is not included in the room . Breakfast is served boiled rice with chicken , fruit, and bakery. For drinks, you can order what you like to drink.
