Superbe chambre mais l’hôtel pour être rénové
Pros:

La chambre 511 était superbe.La proximité avec la plage.

Cons:

Petit déjeuner avec pas assez de choix pour les fruits, salle bruyante.Client de l’hôtel qui monopolise les transats, au bord de la piscine, alors que l’on ne les voit pas pendant des heures.

Pros:

Resort situé directement sur la plage de Beau vallon, pas la plus belle plage de Mahé mais la plus animée. Vous y trouverez des restaurants, boutiques, excursions etc... Chambres très confortables, propre, petit déjeuner 5 étoiles.

Cons:

Très peu de places autour de la piscine, la direction devrait empêcher les gens de laisser leurs serviettes toute la journée sur les quelques transats sans être présents, ce qui empêche les autres vacanciers d'en profiter. Pas de parasols sur la plage. C'est un resort, donc si vous cherchez quelque chose de plus intime cet hôtel ne correspondra peut-être pas à vos attentes.

Paradiso in famiglia
Pros:

La gentilezza dello staff, ineguagliabile. Ci siamo sentiti sempre a casa, ben accolti e coccolati. Un particolare ringraziamento va alla manager Lindy e al cameriere Sandesh. Entrambi ci hanno dimostrato tanto affetto, professionalità e gentilezza. Posizione perfetta sul mare.

Cons:

Spesso non funzionava l’ascensorista al nostro piano.

Séjour de rêve - idéal pour se reposer
Pros:

L'emplacement est idéal. Vue sur un couché de soleil de carte postale.
L'hotel est propre et le personnel est super. On nous a conseillé pour toutes nos excursions sans insister.
La nourriture était ttes bonne. Le petit déjeuner copieux.
Un plus : l'hotel fourni des serviettes de plage tous les jours et change le linge de la chambre tous les jours.

Cons:

La construction commence à dater mais cela ne perturbe en rien nos vacances.

Хорошо подходит для семейного отдыха.
Pros:

Недалеко от аэропорта примерно 25 минут езды. Чистое море, песчаный пляж. Отель стоит на 1 линии. Убирают в номере каждый день. Хорошее белье. Приветливый персонал. Рядом с отелем есть магазинчики и кафешки. Лежаков хватает всем. Завтраки и ужины (брали полупансион) понравились, хотя иногда блюда были чуть переперченные. Фен, утюг, гладильная доска, чайник, сейф и холодильник в номере были. Чай, кофе и вода каждый день пополнялись.

Good value option, but has its limitations.
Pros:

Beau Vallon beach is beautiful - white sands and clear/calm waters. Loads of local spots to get something to eat or drink.

Felt like a bit of a ‘special deal’ offering is required from hotel manager for everything, which is unfortunate, as it gives the place a cheap feeling.

If I booked this hotel, I’d seriously consider breakfast only option then explore all local restaurants/bars for lunch and dinner. This will help stop being caught up in limitations on most hotel offerings.

Cons:

Limited protection against sun (no umbrellas) for those who want to spend the day on the beach. Hotel seems to be going through a refurb, so lots of dirt/half finished works.
