Hotels and Resorts in Baratang
Finding accommodation in Baratang can be tricky and very expensive. There are three governmental guesthouses scattered around the jetty area, but they are all reserved for governmental officials or locals. It is possible to stay there but one has to book months in advance from Port Blair. Walk-ins are usually not welcomed.
The only private resort ‘Dew Dale’ is then the best option. Though it is a little far away from the city center, the rooms are clean, spacious and the place is a good option to spend a night at.
