Excellent location! Right on the beach. Very good breakfast with a view over the beach.

The shower caddy in the bathroom was quite high up on the wall. I’m 1.61m tall and I had to stretch to reach it. It was also shallow and slanted so the items often rolled out. The shaving mirror is also high so thus not very practical.

Location - Near to all the nice restaurants. Right at the beach. The staff at the reception is attentive to your needs. They give an early check in if the room is available. The in house Indian restaurant Mahek served delicious and fresh food. The chef Paul Jose personally greets customers and takes feedback. Went there multiple times because the taste was so good. The beach is bustling and the sunsets are lovely if no clouds.

Noise easily passes from the neighboring rooms to yours. Renovation work is going on, so there is smell of the paint and other adhesives. To some customers they gave complimentary cocktail coupons and to some customers they gave complimentary cocktail coupons plus breakfast coupons. They said they gave me room upgrade ( well thank you if you did ) but then they reminded me atleast 3 times on different occasions that they upgraded the room. The pool/beach towels can be better.

Good Penthouse with perfect terraces view.

The only reason I gave 8 is that there is a renovation in one wing of the hotel and the noise around the pool and nearby facilities is very loud the whole day.

The location and the staff created the difference. The staff (especially Millie from the reception) was going the extra mile to help us arrange our tours, and celebration moments and very polite and positive staff. We stayed during the new years eve and it was fabulous! Right next to the famous Beau Vallon beach which was just so amazing. Good amount of food options in various restaurants within and outside of the hotel. Strongly recommended!

The hotel is a little bit outdated but it is still functional. They’re renovating it but it didn’t bother us during the stay with noise or anything. Overall, very good experience.

The proximity to the beach, basically on the beach, is awesome. We were there for relaxation only, so served our purposes perfectly. The majority of the staff were very friendly and those that weren't were simply efficient just not overly friendly, so no criticism of the remainder. The Hotel bar is located next to the beach and gives you the opportunity for some stunning sunsets as long as it's not raining ;-) Food is also served to you at the hotel bar from all restaurants within the hotel which makes it real easy if you just prefer to stay outside all night. The staff at the hotel bar were all excellent and I would particularly call out Andrew, MK & Janith as being very attentative, efficient and super friendly. Sampath, I believe, an F&B assistant manager also made us very welcome.

The rooms have seen better years. We were in one of the honeymoon suites with a balcony directly overlooking the beach and the ocean which truly is wonderful. A cool beer on that balcony in the evening was something to look forward to every day ;-) However, they are definitely in need of some refurbishment. I'm not sure if I would have been entirely happy if it had actually been our honeymoon. Nevertheless, the room was always clean, has tea/coffee making facilities and a fridge which helps counter the rather pricey cost of a beer in the hotel bar. Hotel bar prices consistent with prices outside the hotel but you can't beat the prices from the supermarket.

Great location, staff are very friendly. Rooms very clean, food great.

The system they have for f&b payment is annoying. We paid a deposit and charged to our room at meal times but they clearly don’t use this as normal practice so we were doubted every time we tried to do it. I don’t want to carry cash/ cards in the hotel constantly but I hated being questioned whether I was telling the truth that I could charge to my room multiple times a day. I even got accused of not paying on the first evening as they thought I hadn’t left card details with reception. It was humiliating and there was no apology.

Perfect Relaxing Stay – Highly Recommended! I had an amazing experience at this hotel. The location is perfect — right on the beach, which is cleaned every morning and has no strong tides. It’s peaceful, clean, and ideal for total relaxation. Special thanks to Shihan, the manager, who helped us with everything during our stay and kindly arranged a late check-out — we really appreciated that. Also, shout-out to Shahnazar, who provided helpful tips and recommendations in a very thoughtful and non-intrusive way. If you’re looking for a calm, comfortable, and truly relaxing vacation, this is the place to be. I highly recommend it!

All the staff were friendly, polite and extremely helpful from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. We had two rooms, which were spacious, well equipped, and immaculate. Thec rooms were cleaned daily to a very high standard. The food was excellent with an excellent choice, and the service was outstanding. The location is ideal, with the property backing on to Beau Vallon beach, which allowed us to have a drink and watch the most amazing sunsets from the terrace. On several occasions, we had a table made up and had breakfast served on the beach,, this was awesome as the views were outstanding , it felt like we were in paradise ! The facilities were outstanding with games and outdoor games provided on request. The location could not have been any better. There are shops, bars, and restaurants, a short stroll from the hotel. We could not find any fault and are already planning our return for next year. We would definitely recommend this hotel and thank the staff for making this a truly memorable stay.

It was a dream vacation, long planned, and choosing a hotel in the Seychelles is definitely not easy. This hotel was a clear choice in terms of price and location, and since we booked it well in advance, the price was quite reasonable considering it’s the Seychelles. In this exotic paradise, however, you shouldn't expect any ultra-luxurious or over-the-top hotels like those in Turkey or Egypt – this piece of paradise is not about that. For local standards, we couldn’t fault the hotel. The staff did their best to accommodate us and help in every way. It is located directly on the beach, as close as possible. The hotel is in an excellent location and on one of the most beautiful beaches. It is also not too far from the airport. In terms of quality, it is more than sufficient. Breakfasts are rather modest compared to elsewhere, but you’ll find what you need – and you’re having breakfast right on the beach. The hotel is quiet, and the rooms are spacious enough. They do their best to maintain cleanliness regularly.

The only downside is the weak air conditioning in the room. The poolside restaurant has slightly high prices for semi-prepared dishes. We recommend the Indian restaurant within the resort area, but it only opens in the afternoon. It is also located on the beach and is part of the hotel.
