Now, I've traveled the world and have had my share of hotel stays, but this hotel is hands down the best! I've never experienced the level of service I received from everyone who worked here. The room I stayed in came with a full kitchen with washer machine, decent bathroom, and view by the pool which was nice. The service attendants were absolutely magnificent! I had piled some clothes in a washer before heading out to explore the island. When I returned, the attendants had not only serviced my room, but had washed and dried my clothes. The owner of the property and his wife were a delight to speak with and over all this was an awesome experience.

I was surprised, Wonderful.!!!

Managed by Maryse, what a wonderful women. She and her staff were excellent and I'm not easy to please. I arrived late, 3am, and she was awake to greet me, then I was suppose to check out at 10 even though my flight left at 6pm, soon as I told her she told me to stay in the room until 3 so that I had a place to stay until it was time to go to the airport and she didn't charger me for it.. I almost always have something bad to say about every place I stay but not this time.. it was perfect, they made sure that my nerves were met but didn't push and crowd me. I highly recommended this place.!! Oh, and the pool was clean, everything was clean

Great place to stay in Bel Ombre

Very modern, airy, new and convenient apartment. The service was very impressive and we felt very well taken care of. The pool was large compared to the other hotels we had stayed at on our trip and the gardens was very well maintained and enjoyable. There was a smaller beach close to the hotel that we preferred in comparison to the larger Beau Vallon Beach.

Perfect

We spent ages researching places to stay on Mahe, and choose this due to facilities, cost and reviews etc. We were pleasantly surprised by how nice this place is! (the best place we stayed during our Seychelles trip). The apartments are clean and spacious, with A/C, electronic safe for valuables, fully equipped kitchen (sink, dishes, cooker, microwave, toaster, kettle, fridge/freezer, and a washing machine), swimming pool, free wi-fi and on-site parking (the lodge is in a secure compound with an electronic gate - we felt quite safe), good location (near to Beau Vallon), daily cleaning service, staff extremely friendly and helpful. We were even provided with some complimentary food/drink supplies on arrival, it was perfect for self-catering style stays. Overall, a great place and good value stay for a Seychelles holiday.

Home away from home

Recently visited Seychelles for a brief holiday and stayed at Bambous River Lodge with my mother. Seychelles has the most gorgeous beaches and Bambous felt like a home away from home. Situated close to one of the best beaches - Beau Vallon. The apartment is clean, comfortable, walking distance to the beach. This is a self-catering apartment cluster and has 2 grocery stores close by for all immediate needs. However, the best part of the stay were the owners - extremely welcoming and very helpful, ready with all information and even arranged for a car for a day long sight seeing during Easter holiday. Icing on the cake was finding water, juice, butter/jam & milk in the fridge to get us started. We will definitely return and highly recommend this place to anyone heading to Mahe Island.

Great home away from home!

We really liked bambous river lodge! The apartment itself was really comfortable with a great little kitchen with a well thought out set up, we arrived to a fridge that had water, milk, bread,butter and jam - perfect to start us out! The pool was a treat. The staff cleaned everyday, even doing dishes which was really nice for an apartment. Would definitely recommend!

Cozy Palace in a Raw Paradise

Seychelles is still an adventure island, everything is still discoverable, no sidewalks on streets, need a rental car for better discovery of this Island, restaurants are few and rustic, not too many beaches are better than Beau Vallon, This Villa is excellent option as an operation center if you are going for a couple of days or a full week to visit the islands. Staff is helpful and friendly, rooms amazing and the kitchen unpectedly big and functional for the whole family. Highly recommended in all senses.
