Pros:

L’état de la chambre laisse à désirer on dirait qu’il ne font pas le ménage, Pommeau de douche dégoûtant, la plage n’ai pas accessible, la piscine est super sale, le petit déjeuner n’est pas varié et il n’avait plus de farine pour faire de crêpes.. nous ne sommes pas rester jusqu’à la fin de notre séjour au vu de l’état de cet hôtel exécrable.. Ne vous faites pas avoir par les photos !! Le prix est juste incompréhensible au vu de cet établissement qui devrait fermer.

Mahtava hotelli
Pros:

Mieletön paikka, sopivan pieni ja intiimi hotelli, rauhallinen alue, todella ystävällinen henkilökunta, siisti ja erittäin mukava huone, kiva allasalue, ravintolan paikalliset ruoat erinomaisia. Lähtisimme koska tahansa tänne uudestaan.

Pros:

Wir haben in unserer Reise mehrere ähnliche bepreiste Hotels besucht. Dieses hier war das teuerste und leider hat es und sehr enttäuscht. Im speziellen hatten wir die folgenden Probleme:

- Der Strand war nicht nutzbar. Er war voller Seegras, sodass das Wasser extrem trüb war und gegen Abend auch etwas nach Kloake gerochen hat.
- Die Karte im Restaurant ist grundsätzlich bereits klein. Allerdings war trotzdem ca. 1/3 davon nicht verfügbar, sodass man jeden Abend erstmal schauen kann was man essen kann.
- Leider gibt es keinen Standard im Restaurant. Wenn man von der reduzierten Karte etwas gefunden hat, dass einem Schmeckt, ist es am nächsten Tag anders. Andere Zutaten, Zubereitung und Geschmack.
- Ein Sanierungsstau besteht. Die Bilder bei Expedia stammen aus einer besseren Zeit. Man bekommt einen alten, verrosteten Zimmerschlüssel. Im Bad blättert die Sichtschutzfolie vom Badfenster ab, die Jalousien im Bad schließen nicht richtig. Es sind komische Flecken in der Abtrennung. Wir hatten eine riesige Kakerlake im Bad. Vermutlich aufgrund des undichten Siphon unter das nur eine blaue Plastikwanne gestellt wurde. Wasseroase im Außenbereich voller Dreck. Holzlatten im Poolbereich mit gefährlichen Stolperfallen und rausstehenden Schrauben/Nägel. Dachteile abgesplittert.
- Der Stromgenerator ist unter den jeweiligen Häusern. Wir hatten unser Zimmer unten, sodass wir die ganze Nacht von einem Brummen gestört wurden.
- Bestellungen kommen falsch und dauern sehr lang.

Pros:

Hotel setting was nice

We informed the hotel of our honeymoon twice and sent marriage certificates however it was still not acknowledged at all. Room could have been cleaner. Staff could have been nicer

Not at all 5 stars! False advertisement!
Pros:

I would not normally write such a review, but on this occasion I felt like the experience was so poor and different from what was advertised and charged at a high price that it required an honest review to warn others.

We stayed at Dhevatara for 4 nights. From the moment we checked in we had a very unfriendly welcome, no smile, no hospitality from check in start to finish. Definitely not what you expect considering the high price paid and especially for a ‘small boutique hotel’. There was only one lady running the whole check in process on arrival, then covering dinner service, plus the bar service the whole evening.

Speaking of food, if you wish to place a food order please be prepared to wait 3 business days to receive your food. Especially at breakfast (bring a newspaper to read), the service was extremely slow. On top of this, the waitress had offered us that there would be the possibility to order some Gluten Free bread for my Coeliac partner the next day, provided we inform them. Each day we kindly asked if they would honor what they originally offered and each morning they forgot, in the end we gave up. Please do not offer options which never materialise. The speed of service was so slow, you could see many guests also getting frustrated each morning. I would also like to mention each morning we ordered fruit, yoghurt and cornflakes, something which shouldn’t take long to prepare.

Eventually when we did receive our food, please be aware, it looks nothing like the picture’s advertised. The burger was so uncooked we had to send back to the kitchen (request well done) and their French toast was burnt in the morning.
The pool is extremely murky and full of debris at the bottom when swimming in, to the extent you cannot see the bottom (slimy). It needs a good clean.
In the room, i was unable to use the kettle to boil water as it was brown and rotten inside and there were stains on the towels.

Sliten restaurang men fint rum
Pros:

Detta var hotell som inte motsvarade våra förväntningar. Bra bemötande, tråkig restaurang både vad det gäller maten och miljön !
Oerhört fint på foton och Instagram vilket lurade oss . Rummet riktigt bra , men utemiljön miserabel. Stranden fantastisk med absolut ingenting mer än så .

MOST EXPENSIVE HOLIDAY TILL THE TIME I RECEIVE THE REFUND.
Cons:

non availability of vegetarian food.
hotel charged the fare of EURO 1825 two times and haven't refunded even after 1 week. Booking.com also is responsible as they also have not taken corrective action.

Great service
Pros:

Service was very good as they'd go over and beyond for you
Room was nice
Food was ok but slightly slow service
Tamara was lovely and Samia also welcomed us nicely.
There was a noise is bedroom like a boiler which made it difficult to sleep
I don't think I slept more than 2 hrs, the whole time I was there
Unfortunately, there were also a lot of mosquitos in the room which is where I got most of my bites - I think they sprayed the room but it didn't work. Vapes would have been great.
The pool was not attractive to enter
Bath tub not tight enought to hold the water in unfortunately
Bonus was the umbrellas, beach towels and beach bag.. and they accept Amex!
Great location as right on the beach and restaurants nearby
They also let us check-out a little later than the official time which was so nice of them
Value for money for Seychelles was great.
Value for money overall (worldwide) was pretty expensive.
