Beau Vallon da Harika Manzaralı konaklama
Pros:

Konumu mükemmel deniz ile arasında yol veya ağaçlık alan yok az sayıda otelde bulunan doğrudan plaja açılabilmesi çok iyiydi. Ayrıca otel seçmiş olduğumuz odaya göre daha iyi bir odayı ilave ücret talep etmeksizin yükselti. Personel konuklala çok ilgili ve güler yüzlü oda servisi günde iki defa geliyor. Ayrıca türkçe bilen çalışanlarıda var.

Cons:

Kahvaltısı daha zengin olabilir.

Pros:

10/10 – Exceptional from start to finish!

Our stay in Seychelles was unforgettable, and the incredible staff made it even more special.
A heartfelt thank you to Shihan and Chamaran for going above and beyond to help arrange my surprise engagement to my fiancée and for making us feel completely at home throughout our stay.

Thank you to Zoya and sakura for the warm welcome and for always checking in to make sure we were having good times, Sean for making our first day so easy by answering all our questions, ever smiling lindy with her suggestions for activities to make things lively and Sanjay for taking such beautiful photos of our engagement that we’ll cherish forever.

The teamwork and coordination among the staff were outstanding, the hotel room was immaculate, and the service was consistently warm, professional, and genuine. Thank you all for making one of the most memorable trips of our lives so perfect. We can’t wait to come back!

Pros:

Superb staff, friendly and helpful. Super classy rooms. Modern and stylish. Thumbs up to the designer. Located right on the beach. Early check in, late check out at no extra costs...Thanks again. Breakfast is delicious, with a large variety of fruits, bread, hot items, juices.....
Would like to see an Espresso machine though in addition to the good and strong filter coffee. Really loved staying at the Corral with the stylish surrounding and the friendly people. 10 Points well deserved.

Świetny stosunek jakości do ceny, fantastyczna lokalizacja przy plaży.
Pros:

Bardzo miły i dbający o komfort gościa personel, praktycznie na każdym stanowisku od recepcji, w restauracji, Pana który kroił owoce czy dbających o porządek :) szczególne pozdrowienia dla Pani Ewy oraz Shihana! Dzięki Wam czuliśmy się bardzo zaopiekowani i komfortowo! Dodatkowo Hotel wydelegował osoby do rozmów w jaki sposób można jeszcze bardziej ponieść komfort pobytu.
Fantastyczna lokalizacja hotelu na plaży.
Bardzo czysto! Komfortowe i ładnie urządzone pokoje. Smaczne jedzenie w restauracjach!

Pros:

We had a wonderful stay, and a special thanks to Shihan, the manager at the reception, for his exceptional support. When we faced an issue with our travel itinerary, he personally took charge, sorted it out within a very short time, kept us updated with proper information throughout, and made the whole situation completely stress-free. He truly went above and beyond to assist us and given room upgrade which was amazing felt like staying right front of the ocean, and his care, efficiency, and personal attention made a real difference to our experience. Shihan is a real asset to the property, and we are sincerely grateful for his support and warm hospitality.

scelta giusta per girare l isola e fare attività
Pros:

la struttura è grande e quindi include molti comfort.
Ci hanno permesso il late check-out che è stato davvero essenziale per noi e ci ha permesso di stare al mare un giorno in piu'

Cons:

la piscina è rimasta chiusa un giorno intero per manutenzione.
il check-in è stato davvero lento.
la domenica penso che venga molta gente anche dall'esterno rendendo la struttura troppo affollata, compresa la piscina
