Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs A from London

"We thought this was a very nice hotel for a few nights as our base to explore Mahe. We were very impressed with the size of our superior room with a huge bathroom and very large balcony. It was also nice to have a jacuzzi on the balcony. Excellent service from Leon in Housekeeping.

Breakfast & Dinner buffet style and food was of a reasonable standard. Glad we opted for half board as no restaurants really within walking distance and we wouldn't have liked to drive ourselves at night.

Generally the staff were friendly but have to admit the service especially for lunch/drinks in the pool/bar area was very poor."

"So pleased we stayed here for 4 nights so we could enjoy Saint-Anne Marine National Park without having to make trips from Mahe. They arranged an early morning short boat ride for us over to Moyenne Island so we could enjoy sometime by ourselves before everyone arrived from Mahe. They also arranged a boat trip for us to snorkel in the Marine Park with a visit to Long Island where you can walk across the sandbank to Round Island.

Lovely Villa although could do with some more lighting as very dark especially with the surrounding foliage.

All staff were very friendly and food was of a reasonable standard."

"Lovely hotel with a good location to explore Praslin. We had a superior room which you could walk out from the terrace to the beach area.

Pleased we had booked half board as not really any restaurants within walking distance and we didn't want to drive ourselves at night. The buffet breakfast & dinners we had were all of a good standard with lots of choice.

We ate lunch a few times in the Terrace Bar & Restaurant which was always excellent."

"Fabulous waterfront boutique style hotel. Personal service from all staff including Stuart & Natasha the hotel owners.

Our room, food & drinks - all excellent.

A lovely experience and so pleased we chose to stay here."

"Fabulous stay our only regret was only staying for 5 nights we wish we had booked for 7 nights. We really enjoyed cycling around the island stopping off at the different beaches to snorkel, visiting the farm and spending time with the giant tortoises.

The food was delicious served by the most attentive staff.

Our deluxe beach cottage was beautiful with an impressive outdoor bathroom. The only negative was the amount of mosquitos in this area. We really had to cover ourselves in repellant all day and night (and still managed to get bites). We feel the hotel could have provided some insect repellent spray and mosquito coil burners for the bathroom/toilet area which might have helped."

"Only stayed in this hotel as day guests after arriving back from Denis Island at 1pm we needed somewhere to relax and refresh before our flight back to the UK at midnight.

A luxurious hotel overlooking the Marina and we were given a lovely ocean view room. Dinner albeit expensive was very good."
