We stayed here for ten days in April 25 and had a great time. It is very convenient for the beach at Beau Vallon and you can go out and have a walk around the area as everything is nearby. The staff were friendly and attentive. Highly recommend and we would stay here again.

Lovely location, easy walk along the beach and to local restaurants. Staff were very helpful and friendly, allowed us to access to business lounge when we arrived early and allowed late checkout and use of facilities while we waited for our departing flight. Breakfast buffet had a large variety of great food. Overall the perfect end to our Seychelles holiday.

Not a good experience

The hotel either had a system issue or canceled our paid booking accidentally. As a result we were waiting the entire afternoon in the lobby being told repeatedly “sorry we are having no room.” There seemed to be a hope but then again “sorry we have no room.” Extremely suffering. Finally they got us a room newly renovated with bathroom leaking.

Smart Choice

I was a bit worried after reading some of the reviews, but the reality was a pleasant surprise. The hotel is from the 1970s, I didn't expect that everything is new. It is not, but it seems to be continuously repaired and updated. Our ocean-view room was spacious, recently painted with a well-working A/C, new furniture, a fridge, and a new model of LG TV. The beds were comfortable. Room service as well as all the staff was excellent. The location can't be beaten - we have traveled around the island and couldn't find a better one. The breakfast and dinner were very good. The hotel (similar to some other real estate in Seychelles) is owned by Russians and the clientele is partly Russian, too.

Things you should know from Hotels.com

Three things put the dampers on this hotel. Firstly, it would have been nice to know with the present conflicts that the hotel is Russian owned. There are all nationalities on holiday here and it didn't cause any conflict but it would have be good to have been given the knowledge prior to booking. Secondly, it would have been good to know that part of the hotel was being extensively refurbished creating noise throughout the day. This wasn't noticeable by the pool etc but could be heard in your room during the day, which isn't ideal if you like to retire from the midday sun. Not my idea of paradise. Thirdly, the hotel is very dated. It may have been a 3 start plus 15-20 years ago but the place is very dated, particularly the bedrooms. On the plus side the staff are excellent. I was traveling solo and it's really great when they take the time to say hello and ask how you are etc. They are a credit to the hotel and island. The rooms and hotel are cleaned regularly to a good standard. Breakfast is a bit random self service where every nationality is being attempted to cater for but not quite achieving it. I heard from guests on half board basis that the evening meals were a lot better standard. The restaurant is a great location onto the front so you can see and hear the waves as they lap up less than 3 meters away. Why spoil that in a morning by playing recorded piano music i don't know. For me, it doesn't make the hotel restaurant sophisticated but like an elevator to escape

The room was clean, the breakfast buffet was great, and the hotel’s beachfront location couldn’t have been better. The staff even came around with cooling towels to give to guests on the beach. The only small downside was some renovation noise near the lobby and pool, but overall I was very happy with my stay. I also had dinner on the property; although the staff were quite busy and meals came out at different times, they stayed attentive and checked in regularly to make sure everything was okay. Beautiful views of the sunset from the restaurant

This is a story about a hotel or management GREED get a hotel located beautifully….but terrible place to stay. If you plan to come here and relax….you are wrong. The hotel management let people who don’t stay at the hotel come to pool restaurant and use the pool all day. The only thing they have to do is to buy a pizza and have a lot of noisy kids destroy your relaxing day at the pool. 2 adults person with 7/8 kids each were entire day in the pool and extremely loud. It became literally like kindergarten…They needed only to buy few pizzas and drinks to use the pool. It didn’t matter for the hotel management that we paid very high price for our stay… but we were forced to leave the pool area because of all loud noise. I saw multiple hotel guests who were staying at the hotel leaving the pool area. This is how greed for extra income makes a hotel look terrible !!!

In die Jahre gekommenes Hotel, das in Teilen renoviert wird, so dass sich hier wahrscheinlich einiges in der Zukunft ändern wird. Wer es eher ruhig und beschaulich mag, geht nicht in die Beau Vallon Bay, am Strand sind einige Hunde unterwegs und nachts war Party. Wir waren nur 2 Nächte dort, als Spungbrett für die Rückreise. Von daher gerade so ok. Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis passt jetzt noch nicht, vielleicht eher nach der Renovierung
