Our room was spacious, simply but tastefully decorated and clean. Although the hotel is big it didn’t feel crowded or busy the way some resorts do. The atmosphere was very relaxed. Our two year old son had plenty to explore, felt welcome everywhere and loved the attention from the staff. He also loved spending time with Jackie at the kids’ club (children under 3 need to be accompanied by an adult but it was a nice break for us nevertheless to know that he’s taking part in different activities, while we got to relax and read on a comfy sofa in the corner). We ate mostly at the restaurants at the hotel, as going out into the town in the evening with a 2 year old seemed less feasible than what we expected (the streets were a bit dark, pavement narrow and uneven and traffic on the road quite heavy, hard to navigate with a stroller). The food was pretty nice and as a pescatarian I always had a few options to choose from. The beach was very easy to get to (right behind the bar) and calm, with beautiful views.

There was a dehumidifier in the room, which had to run 24/7, was quite noisy and had to be emptied regularly throughout the day and sometimes also at night. We got used to it and accepted it as without it the humidity in the room would be uncomfortable.

The rooms are very beautifull. The hotel is located directly at the beachfront. We enjoyed a breakfast at the beach at the day of our leave, at the suggestion of the hotel. We also received a free dinner at the buffet and some drinks at the room. The staff is very friendly and will do their best to make sure you enjoy your stay. Free champagne during breakfast!

The prices of the food in this hotel are ridiculous. The prices at the seychelles are generally high because of the import, but this hotel managed to double it. We had a buffet meal, a bottle of water, one glass of wine and one glass of beer. We had to pay €160 euro's for this meal. Even the half of this price would be expensive. A service fee of 10% is standard included in the price, wich is ridiculously high considering the prices. I would never tip €16 euro at a buffet. The music playlist at the beach is awfull. There's a lot of good music on the islands, but it is not to be found near the pool of this hotel.

The hotel's location is fantastic, right on a beautiful beach with white sands and crystal sea to swim. You can take a walk down the coast to a number of popular and delicious restaurants/bars outside of the hotel. The rooms are lovely and spacious and overlook the sea and pool. The staff were fantastic and took the liberty of decorating the room for a birthday we didn't even tell them we were celebrating. We had a couples massage which was brilliant - the staff are very talented. The food was amazing, namely the croissants and fresh orange juice, and dinner you have to try the fresh red snapper and famous creol sauce. The hotel organised an airport transfer for us and it was very easy to book. You can book tours and excursions directly from the hotel also. Just great! Highly reccommend!

The resort is absolutely stunning, you feel relaxed as soon as you step in the property. The pool is fantastic, with great views of the hills and of the beach. Suites are spacious and comfortable. We were on our honeymoon and we had nice touches, which was very sweet. Beau Vallon beach is beautiful, sadly in September there was plankton in the sea which meant it was quite itchy to go in the water, so we spent our time by the pool. There’s a bus stop right by the hotel to go to Victoria for really cheap (staff at reception will give you the schedule if you ask) - much better to pay 12 rupees than 300 rupees for a 10min drive! Trader Vic’s is AMAZING. The cocktails and the food was incredible, one of the best meals. The environment is also fantastic.

We were expecting a Nespresso machine in the room. All of the 5* star hotels we stayed in the Seychelles had and this one didn’t, except in their beach villas. Buffet food is good but could be much better. Variety is limited and it’s not incredible.

Our flight was delayed, so we arrived at the hotel one day later.  The manager Melissa is so kind that she upgraded our room to the seaside villa with a private swimming pool.  We can see the beautiful beach from our backyard. The bed and pillows are super comfortable.  We like the shower in the yard, which reduces the humidity in the room. Surprisingly, we didn't see even one mosquito or insect around. The hotel must have taken measures to drive them away. The Japanese restaurant is good. The ladies at the reception are very helpful.  Neige extended our checkout until 2pm in the afternoon since we had a late flight. Overall, we had a wonderful stay more than we expected.

We loved, loved the breakfast buffet. It was amazing. The dinner buffet - with every evening a different theme was also absolutely fabulous. Especially the middle east food evening and the indian food evening were exceptional.. The beach in front of the resort was Fantastic.

Well the only thing that is quite a thing, is the price of food and drinks. The quality is very good however it is very expensive. I believe for a location like this and a resort like this you expect it to be expensive and because the quality of the food was very good, it is somehow acceptable. However, it would be nice to have for lunch eg a simple option that is not too expensive...Especially when you are there with kids, it would be nice to have a good affordable lunch option eg pizza or viennas.

The accommodation and location was first class. We had a Beach villa which was perfect. The reception area and reception staff were very helpful. Everywhere throughout the hotel was very clean.

Service in the buffet restaurant and where breakfast is served was sometimes extremely slow.

Beautiful resort, very well kept. Rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable. Loved the bath. The staff is very welcoming and friendly.

Food and drink prices are very high. Finding an available spot at the pool was tough, especially if you want a place in the shade. Some areas of the beach are very rocky, I think the resort should warn guests about that as I got some bruises on my feet.

It was wonderful! We booked Story for our Honeymoon and it exceeded our expecations. The best honeymoon surprise was a room upgrade into the beach villa (which we didn't expect at all) and this just made our week :-). This beautiful villa with almost private access to the beach and its own plunge pool is so quiet and comfy that we stayed there most of the time. Room service regularly comes and checks on you. A big plus are the unlimited glass bottles of their fresh water supply which is a sustainable solution for all guests. Furthermore, we also chose this hotel because it is an award winning eco-hotel with lots of great initiatives. All their staff is friendly and helpful and we loved the positive and tranquil vibe in the resort. Breakfast and dinner are directly at the beach with lovely views over the ocean. I LOVED the food!!! We ate at the buffet restaurant every day and it never got boring because of the fresh and huge variety of dishes on offer and the desserts are to die for! All in all it was the best holidays we've ever had.

The alcohol prices are very high and not in relation. We would have consumed more if wines and even local beer would have been slightly cheaper. I recommend to cool more dishes such as raw fish and joghurt at the buffet station since it is really warm around this area. Since it is a sustainable hotel I would have expected more vegan options e.g. coconut joghurt, spreads for bfst; vegan curries, etc. but this would just be a nice add on. Overall super happy with the food quality and choice!
