Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at L’Habitation Hotel, and what made it especially memorable was the warmth and genuine hospitality of the team.

A special thank you to Rita, the hotel manager, who went above and beyond to make our stay meaningful. She had kindly acknowledged that we were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary and surprised us with a beautiful room featuring a stunning sea-view balcony. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made our celebration even more special.

We would also like to give a big thank you to Agnita, who was incredibly helpful in planning our next hop to Praslin. She gave us an excellent plan and practical advice that made the transition smooth and enjoyable.

The combination of the beautiful setting, comfortable room, and, above all, the exceptional hospitality made our stay at L’Habitation truly unforgettable.

Thank you, Rita, Agnita, and the whole team for making our 20th anniversary trip so special. We would happily return and highly recommend L’Habitation Hotel!

Un havre de paix aux Seychelles
Pros:

L'habitation Cerf Island est un véritable havre de paix. Le cadre est magnifique, au cœur de la nature, avec une vue superbe sur la mer. L'accueil a été chaleureux et le personnel toujours disponible et attentionné. Les chambres sont confortables et l'ambiance de l'île permet de se déconnecter complètement. C'est un endroit idéal pour se reposer, profiter du calme faire du snorkeling et découvrir les Seychelles autrement. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour et en garderons un très bon souvenir.

Pros:

Abbiamo trascorso un soggiorno davvero piacevole. La struttura è molto tranquilla e si respira un’atmosfera di pace e relax.

Il cibo era molto buono e il personale è stato sempre gentile, disponibile e sorridente.

La spiaggia è semplicemente mozzafiato e la possibilità di fare kayak.

Buono ma un po’ austero
Pros:

Il cibo era delizioso, lo staff disponibile, e la camera adatta ad un soggiorno ed anche molto pulita .

Cons:

I servizi dell’hotel erano ottimi e il personale sempre gentile e disponibile. Purtroppo, la mia esperienza con la gestione è stata molto negativa. Ho avuto l’impressione che i prezzi venissero cambiati deliberatamente più volte: inizialmente mi era stato comunicato un importo di 1000 SCR per il trasferimento poi diventato 1050 e poi tornato 1000.

Inoltre, ci era stato detto che potevamo rimanere fino alle 16:30, ma alle 15:00 abbiamo dovuto abbandonare la stanza m via per un loro errore organizzativo. Anche il transfer è stato fatto pagare a un prezzo più alto del previsto considerando che via messaggio era stato detto che l’importo da pagare era di 700scr , nonostante fosse condiviso con altre persone. E per errore di conto stavamo per pagare 2 volte una cena.

Peccato, perché la struttura e il personale meritano, ma la proprietà ha reso l’esperienza poco piacevole e poco trasparente.
