Went to celebrate my birthday and what a week. The room was very clean and spacious,the staff was amazing, always greeting us with a smile. Thank you for making my birthday special by gifting me a birthday cake/song at breakfast, you made my day. The breakfast was delicious with a variety of food and lots of options but the fruit station was by far my favourite. Will definitely recommend and return to this hotel

It seems to be an old hotel that is been renovated: even with the new rooms, the whole building is a little decadent, the ar con engines are put in the hallways, the pool and bar are also run down… Staff is very nice though! And hotel is on a really beautiful beach!

I absolutely loved everything about this hotel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I was pleasantly surprised with a birthday celebration at breakfast. This place is amazing. I will definitely stay here again. The ocean view from the patio was a great touch each morning and the sounds of waves to help me sleep at night. A great experience highly recommended.

The staff were very friendly and even upgraded our room for free, which we really appreciated. The room was clean, the breakfast buffet was great, and the hotel is right by the beach. They also kept our luggage after checkout, which was very convenient. The only downside was some renovation noise in the lobby area, but overall we were very satisfied with our stay.

It is a drive from the airport and over the mountain which can be inconvenient if you don't have a car. My room was a mountain view (still stunning) and parking lot, but the balcony door would not seal, and let out the air conditioning. And the air conditioning struggled to keep the room cool. Over very satisfied, good staff, good food.

The room was clean, the breakfast buffet was great, and the hotel’s beachfront location couldn’t have been better. The staff even came around with cooling towels to give to guests on the beach. The only small downside was some renovation noise near the lobby and pool, but overall I was very happy with my stay. I also had dinner on the property; although the staff were quite busy and meals came out at different times, they stayed attentive and checked in regularly to make sure everything was okay. Beautiful views of the sunset from the restaurant

Lovely location, easy walk along the beach and to local restaurants. Staff were very helpful and friendly, allowed us to access to business lounge when we arrived early and allowed late checkout and use of facilities while we waited for our departing flight. Breakfast buffet had a large variety of great food. Overall the perfect end to our Seychelles holiday.
