Fortunately government of India came to my rescue. "Hawabill nest guest house" (IP&T) near the jetty proved to be a very decent place. The Dorms cost Rs.150 with clean, proper beds and a community bath/toilet.
Good news, there were no other tourists except a occasional day tripper family. They also have a chef who can prepare the food on request.
Neil is a very small settlement about 4000 people. Its also referred as Vegetable bowl of Andamans. The main 'bazaar' has some shops, which also double as eateries.
One can get the Veggies / Fishes cooked for his liking. BSNL provides cellphone network, with AirTel coming soon. Sitapur beach is the main attraction. There are no snorkelling or diving spots to write about.
