⚠ Watch-outs
48-hr rate validity · nothing blocked yet · 50% advance to confirm · 50 villas ≠ full buyout (resort has 72 — other guests present) · quote framed as corporate "offsite", wedding events not yet priced · Garden of Forest Trees (667 m², 150 pax — the mandap spot) not priced · alcohol not quoted · last ferry 14:00, guests must land Port Blair by ~noon · Jio/Vi patchy, Airtel/BSNL only
→ Next moves
1. Ask for a soft block immediately (free while discussing) · 2. Re-quote as a WEDDING: all 72 villas (true buyout), Garden of Forest Trees + beach mandap rights, decor/vendor & fireworks policy, alcohol/corkage · 3. Ask Taj "Timeless Weddings" team to own it, not corporate reservations · 4. Compare vs Kumarakom (₹1–1.6 Cr est.) and Palayana (₹0.8–1.3 Cr est.) before the 48-hr window pressure — validity is negotiable
