Prices at the restaurant for drinks and food are way expensive compared to the restaurants or local places to eat where food is much more better.
Hotel restaurant needs renovations, reception and outdoor pool area or where is the beach.everything looks outdated -not welcoming.

Les chambres très bien.
Petit déjeuner bien.

Nous étions en demi-pension et le buffet du soir était varié mais très mauvais au niveau du goût et la salle de restaurant dénote par rapport au reste de l’établissement .

Pros:

posizione ottima, personale gentile e disponibile (molto apprezzata la concessione del late check out).

Cons:

La struttura avrebbe bisogno di un consistente ammodernamento. Decente il breakfast mentre decisamente insoddisfacente è risultata la cena (infatti la sala è sempre stata poco frequentata). Nel complesso il rapporto qualità prezzo non mi ha soddisfatto.

Csodálatos fekvésű szálloda
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at the Coral Strand Smart Choice Hotel in the Seychelles. This 4-star hotel is located in a beautiful spot right by the beach, with an amazing ocean view that made every morning special.

The staff were very friendly, helpful, and always attentive, which made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. The rooms and common areas were clean and well maintained, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was relaxing.

Breakfast was very good with a nice selection of food, and the view while eating was absolutely stunning. You can really feel that the hotel cares about its guests and tries to make the experience enjoyable.

Overall, I would rate this hotel 4/5 stars (9/10). It’s a great place to stay if you want to enjoy the beautiful

Pros:

Отличное месторасположение - лучший пляж, рядом вся инфраструктура - рестораны, быстрое питание, супермаркеты. Закаты в океан. Отзывчивый персонал - особая благодарность Шихану (mr. Shikhan). Хорошая уборка. В целом приятная атмосфера.

Cons:

Дали номер с дверью к соседям - сильная слышимость, иногда какие-то шумные работы в отеле, зарезервированные для кого-то столики у окон на завтраках, завтраки в целом неплохие, но хотелось бы какой-то смены ассортимента, шезлонги у океана без матрасов, нет музыки у бассейна, а на завтраках через раз.

A very relaxed trip to the Seychelles.
Pros:

The close proximity to the beach. Cleaniness and accessibility. A few amazing staff who made our trip a memorable one. Sandesh, Michella & Sakura and team.

Cons:

The person who checked us in was a trainee, didn't properly explain things but other senior staff sorted out issues quickly. The all-inclusive was not properly explained and had too many restrictions.

Pros:

The staff at the accommodation were very friendly and helpful. As our flight was departing late in the evening, we were kindly offered a room free of charge so that we could freshen up before our flight. The rooms were clean, modern, and had a fresh appearance. The breakfast was very rich and delicious

Det er et rigtigt dejligt hotel som jeg kun kan anbefale. Fantastisk beliggenhed.
Pros:

Vi kom tidligt til hotellet og fik et tidligt tjek in og en opgradering af vores værelse. Tak til Shiham for fantastisk service. Samtidig fik vi også en sen udtjekning. Vi var meget tilfredse.
Morgenmaden var også rigtig god. Dejlig frisk frugt.

Cons:
