Fortune Resort Bay Island By Welcomgroup

Being on Marine Hill in Port Blair is a bit different than running a hotel on the mainland. Everything moves a little slower here, mostly because of the heat and the fact that we’re on an island. You can see the water from the property, and there is usually a breeze, though sometimes it’s just as hot outside as it is anywhere else. The salt in the air is tough on the building, so we’re always touching up the paint or fixing things that the weather has worn down. We get people from all over who come to see the islands, and they usually arrive a bit tired from their flights or the boat. Our staff tries to get them settled in without too much fuss. It’s not a high-speed corporate environment. We spend our mornings checking the supplies because getting things delivered to Port Blair can be a bit of a gamble sometimes. We might run out of something specific, but we just make do with what we have. The lobby is open to the air in places, so you might see a bird or two flying through, which is just part of being here. It’s a simple life, really. We look after the rooms, make sure the gardens aren't overgrown, and wait for the next group of guests to come up the hill from the harbor. It’s just us doing our daily work in the middle of the bay.
