10 para el recepcionista 0 señora limpieza
Pros:

Llegamos y nos metieron en un auténtico zulo zulo por lo cual protestamos y el recepcionista amabilísimo intervino para que nos diesen una habitación como tocaba sin cargo extra ,el recepcionista nos trató de cone,un chico de Srii lanca que se desvivía por todos los clientes y siempre con una sonrisa
Un 10 por el
ATENDIA LA RECEPCION,EL DESAYUNO , QUE ESTUVIESEN BIEN HABITACIONES ,NOS Informo de todo
NOS FUE A LLEVAR AL PUERTO ,COMPLETISIMO
El desayuno muy bueno también y la ubicación

Cons:

La señora de la limpieza perdió las formas y educación desde el primer día cuando protestamos por qué nos dieron una habitación sin ,luz y no aceptable ,no nos escuchó y para colmo el ultimo día al hacer el check out y dejar maletas en recepción olvidamos una blusa blanca nueva que era preciosa y cuando la reclamamos ,la señora de la limpieza nego saber nada cosa es una falta a la verdad porque allí quedó la blusa colgada y se la quedó ella ,una vergüenza

Pros:

Logement proche de l'embarcadère, avec la possibilité de louer des vélos de très bonne qualité !

Cons:

La seule fenêtre du logement donne sur un couloir pour la location des vélos le seul point négatif.

Premium Anlage in zentraler Lage mit idyllischer Ruhe
Pros:

Super zentrale Lage, nur 5 Fußminuten von der Fähre entfernt und extrem ruhig. Kurze Wege zu genialen Stränden, Restaurants, Bars und Take aways. Wir haben nur für einen Tag Fahrräder gemietet. Schöne Anlage im authentischen Seychellen-Baustil, großes Zimmer, bequemes Bett, großes Bad und großer Schrank (was nicht so üblich ist, in diesen Ländern). Super nette Belegschaft und sehr hilfsbereit. Top WiFi. Ein Supermarkt direkt nebenan, wo man bis 20 Uhr alles bekommen kann. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Cons:

Die politische Lage, der Nahost-Konflikt, Ende Februar/Anfang März. Hat natürlich nichts mit dem Hotel zu tun.

Magnifique sejour a la digue dans un hotel a 2 pas du port
Pros:

Le personnel sont tres sympa
Location des velos au meme prix qu ailleur
Reparation de velo rapide en cas de probleme
Petit dej est bon (peut être amélioré)
Wifi top
Tres proche du port de la digue ( 7 mn a pieds)
Le personnel nous a deposé avec nos valises dans le port et est venu nous chercher meme si c est proche c est toujours galere de se deplacer avec les valises
Je recommande sans hesitation

Consigliato
Pros:

Posizione ideale dietro al porto, ottima per girare l’isola in bici. Molti ristoranti e take away vicino.
Struttura carina con camera confortevole ma un po’ vecchia, puzza di umidità in camera e ragnatele sulla lampada.
Aria condizionata e ventilatore in camera.
Su richiesta ci hanno dato un telo mare che abbiamo usato per tutto il soggiorno. Su richiesta cambio asciugamani del bagno.
Colazione inclusa comoda. Il cameriere ci portava un piattino di frutta, una bevanda calda (tè o caffè), succo, pane tostato con burro e marmellata e uova a nostra scelta (omelette, strapazzate..).
Abbiamo preso le bici con loro, obbligatorie per girare l’isola. Bici comode e ben tenute.

Cons:

Un po’ vecchia la struttura.

Pros:

Všetko bolo super, cítili sme sa tu príjemne. Dobrá poloha, súčasťou je požičovňa bicyklov, milí personál.

Cons:

Na raňajkách keď sme si vypýtali pohár čistej vody, tak bolo povedané, že nemajú a majú iba teplú vodu😅🙈 nie každý pije džúsy. Ale je to iba také malé mínus nášho pobytu tu.

Pros:

I had a really lovely stay at Villa Authentique. The place feels cozy and authentic, with a clean, comfortable room and a nice garden to relax in. The staff were super friendly and made me feel welcome right away.

Great location too, easy to get around the island by bike and still quiet at night. Breakfast was fresh and tasty every morning.

I’d definitely stay here again!

Bien mais trop bruyant le matin
Pros:

L'emplacement est génial tout comme le service de location de vélo.
Personnel au petit soins

Cons:

La literie avec le matelas à ressort laisse à désirer.
L'insonorisation inexistante (bruit des disqueuses du chantier à côté, bruit des coqs à 5h, bruits des personnes dans le couloir ou voisines)

Pros:

Yann et son équipe sont très réactif, professionnel et à l’écoute. Des vrais solutions sont apportées pour aider les hôtes présents (chambres tampon en cas de départ retardé avec le ferry, navette jusqu’au port gratuite, service de vélos rapide et sérieux). Je recommande fortement surtout que sa localisation est également un point fort.

We had a fantastic 2-night stay at Villa Authentique. The location is excellent—there are very nice beaches nearby, plus
Pros:

We had a fantastic 2-night stay at Villa Authentique. The location is excellent—there are very nice beaches nearby, plus plenty of shops and great places to eat right around the corner. The best part was that they had bikes available to rent right at the property. We rented them and used them to explore the whole island, which was incredibly convenient. Highly recommend
