Do not stay at Sinclairs Bayview at any cost. Not worth a single rupee or minute of your time.
Pros:

The view is the only good thing about Sinclairs Bayview. Everything else is either terrible or mediocre at best.

Cons:

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. Terrible service, unhelpful and unprofessional staff. The Quadruple room was ridiculous. How can you advertise a room for four adults and NOT HAVE A DOOR FOR THE BATHROOM? Everything was falling apart in this hotel. It smells horrible and has clearly not been maintained for years. Water bottles are delivered to the rooms in plastic buckets. There are cleaning supplies, dirty laundry, and dirty plates and cups lying randomly in the corridors at any time of the day. The breakfast buffet was terrible and the dinner buffet was strictly average. The cherry on this sh*t cake was that after checking out, the receptionist texted me on Whatsapp saying there had been a miscalculation in the bill and I owed another 150 rupees. She begged and pleaded that if I didn't pay this amount, it would come out of her paycheck. When I asked for a detailed bill, I got a random screenshot with someone else's name added with no explanation. However, they conveniently forgot to give me change for the extra 400 I had paid while checking in. Once reminded of this, she quickly backed off.

Nice location, friendly staff, old premises and mediocre food. Won't be staying there again.
Pros:

The room was very spacious and the view of the sea and the gardens below was very beautiful. The bathroom was nice and clean. The gardens below were very well maintained with spectacular views.
Staff were friendly. Room service was prompt. The new years eve party was well organized. Clearly they had put in a significant amount of effort. But time management was terrible. The live counters had amazing kababs but we waited till 10:30 pm for dinner, then left without food as we had an early flight the next day.

Cons:

1. Pigeons everywhere which made my stay really horrible.
2. The facility is old and not renovated. Because of the pigeons, the surroundings were dirty.
3. Food was mediocre at best. Breakfast did have many options.
4. They charged high rates but definitely not worth that much money.
5. After leaving Port Blair, got contacted twice regarding issues with payment at their end. However, these were addressed promptly by the hotel.

Great place for family and friends
Pros:

Hotel Managers , F&B Managers and staff are very kind and professional about their Job. Very friendly staff and always eager to help you. Guest may feel it's another home for them. Stayed there for short duration , however, willing to visit many more times.
Special mention to Managers Sandeep , Aakash and Pankaj being very friendly and above par service .
Breakfast and dinner was really tasty . View can't be described in words , as it was so amazing that finding correct words can be less. Opening the window curtains gives you a view of lifetime.

Cons:

Nothing I can think of , wondering why reviews are just above average on this site. For me its 10/10.

Value for money
Pros:

This was our 2nd stay at this property. It seems management has taken positive steps to act on the criticisms/review of my first stay. The cliff barriers that were previously rusted were repaired and painted, the patridge poop was cleared and the trees were trimmed, overall property maintenace was better this time round. Waiters in the restaurant were of better quality and room service was prompt. Reception staff were the same people as previous visit - No complaints there.

Cons:

The rooms need to be provided with a room safe. The shower partition in Room 508 requires fresh silicon to stop water seeping into the WC section. Buffet breakfast needs improvement.

We wanted to cancel the future stays but the hotel didn't respond even after continuous follow up for 2 days
Pros:

Nothing, just the location

Cons:

The building is very old and at some places it's leaking and stinking, particularly in the corridors and passages

Pros:

Property phone number listed on the website doesn't work. Their landline doesn't work at all. They have separate mobile phone numbers which you can not find on the Internet.
We missed our flight and tried to contact the property and were unable to do so. when we reached there the next day and asked them for refund/credit for a day, they said they can't do it since they were not informed. I also message them thru Expedia tho.
Other than that it was a good experience staying there, the staff is very friendly.
