L’établissement vaut largement ses 4 étoiles !
Pros:

Nous étions ravis! Nous ne nous attentions pas à du grand luxe puisqu’il s’agit d’un établissement 4 étoiles, mais il les vaut largement. Le personnel était super, la chambre honeymoon incroyable, les repas étaient bons, la propreté était très bien ! De plus, nous avions toujours de la place sur les transats. Si je retourne aux Seychelles, je reviendrai dans cet hôtel.

Cons:

Le seul petit point faible est sur le pool bar. Parfois les serveurs nous faisait le rabais puisqu’on séjournais à l’hôtel, et parfois d’autres serveurs ne le faisaient pas.

Bella posizione. Alcuni aspetti da rivedere
Pros:

Posizione: una baia bellissima. Gradevole la camera. Colazione di buon livello.

Cons:

Chiassoso (bambini urlanti a tutte le ore del giorno) con vetri non adeguati.
Delusione x l'abolizione del buffet peraltro scarso e scadente nell'unico giorno aperto.

The staff was so welcoming and always trying to make you feel at home. Shihan and Sanjay were adorable and so helpful all the time. We could not have had a better time.
Another thing we really loved was the quality of the breakfast. There was lot of choice and everything was delicious. Moreover, you can enjoy your breakfast in front of the sea !

Great beach hotel with attentive and smiling staff.
Pros:

A beautiful hotel on a superb beach with sandy swimming. Great smiling and attentive staff - Chamara and his front desk staff were exceptional and kindly upgraded my room. Bed and linens and breakfast buffet and even a bedside flashlight
very good. Stayed 7 nights -- there are a few nice restaurants closeby to try too. All in all an excellent and comfortable stay.

Pros:

Personál bol veľmi priateľský a ochotný. Každá naša požiadavka nám bola splnená. Hotel situovaný na krásnej pláži, veľkou výhodou bola aj bezprostredná blízkosť bazéna ako pre deti tak pre dospelých. Raňajky bohaté, každý jeden z nás si prišiel na svoje. Určite sa ešte niekedy vrátime

Pros:

We had a very pleasant stay, mainly thanks to the incredible kindness and professionalism of the staff. From the moment we arrived, everyone made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for throughout the holiday. A special thank you goes to Shihan from Guest Relations, Mica and Sakura at the front desk, as well as Prasanta and Danushka from the restaurant team and executive chefs Ridwan and Pauljoe. Their friendliness, attention, and willingness to help truly made the difference and added a personal touch to the whole experience.

The hotel also enjoys an excellent location directly on one of the most beautiful beaches in Mahé, which made the stay even more enjoyable and relaxing. The atmosphere created by the team was really the highlight for us, and we sincerely appreciate all the effort and warmth shown during our time there.
