From the very beginning of the reservation process, our experience with Cerf Island Resort was excellent. Bhargav was extremely polite, very informative, and always responsive, which made the planning smooth and reassuring.
Upon arrival at Eden Island, the boat staff were very attentive. The skipper personally approached us, and the boat boy was also very kind and helpful. Seeing us with luggage, they confirmed that we were guests travelling to Cerf Island Resort, which made the transfer process easy and stress-free.
Once we reached the island, we were warmly welcomed by Michel, who was very polite and professional. He later showed us our villa and explained everything clearly. We were also checked in by a gentleman at reception (unfortunately I did not catch his name), who was equally kind and provided a helpful briefing about the resort and its facilities.
We spent three wonderful nights at the resort, and from the very first moment, the atmosphere was simply wow — peaceful, natural, and perfect for relaxation. The villa was also wow, surrounded by nature, very comfortable, and ideal for a relaxing getaway.
The restaurant staff were all wonderful, with a special mention to Edwina. Every staff member was amazing, and I especially loved the mocktails, which I enjoyed trying different ones each day. Breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety to choose from, and dinner was equally impressive — beautifully plated, generous portions, and delicious. We enjoyed the soup, appetizers, main courses, and desserts. What made it even more special was the inclusion of local Seychellois Creole dishes on selected days. I had the chance to taste the breadfruit soup — wow, I absolutely loved it!
Housekeeping also deserves special praise. Lia did an outstanding job with our room — it was always very clean, neat, and smelled wonderful. She is very polite and attentive. Throughout our stay, every staff member we came across greeted us warmly, which truly made us feel welcome.
The security officer was also very attentive, advising us to take extra care when swimming due to occasional waves, which we greatly appreciated.
Overall, we had an amazing vacation at Cerf Island Resort. The service, atmosphere, food, and staff all exceeded our expectations. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable island experience.

Nickels and dime you for everything.
10 euros per night for Internet. Charges for black coffee. I suggest booking elsewhere.

Cerf Resort is an absolute paradise. Located in a natural reserve, the surroundings are peaceful, lush, and incredibly beautiful. The service is excellent, and the staff are always friendly and attentive, making you feel truly welcome throughout your stay. The food is delicious, with great variety and quality. And the beaches—simply breathtaking. Clear waters, soft sand, and stunning views. I enjoyed my stay so much that I can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!

Our stay at Cerf Island Resort was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by an incredibly friendly and hardworking team who made us feel right at home. A special mention goes to the Indian chef at the restaurant, who kindly prepared some special dishes for us—flavors that not only delighted us but also reminded us of our local cuisine. It was such a thoughtful gesture and truly added to our experience.
The Spa is an absolute must-try. Suri was exceptionally welcoming and professional, and the massage we had was one of the most relaxing experiences we’ve ever had. We left feeling refreshed, calm, and completely cared for.
We genuinely didn’t feel like leaving this place. Cerf Island Resort is a peaceful paradise, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Seychelles. Definitely a must-try—you won’t be disappointed!

Our weekend on Île aux Cerfs was exactly what we needed — peaceful, fun, and full of beautiful memories. The island itself is absolutely stunning, with turquoise waters, soft white sand, and breathtaking views in every direction. I visited with my children, and we all had a wonderful time. The boat ride to the island was smooth and scenic, and the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by friendly staff and a relaxed island atmosphere. We spent the day swimming, exploring, and simply enjoying time together. The resort was quiet and clean, which made our stay peaceful and relaxing. However, it could improve a lot in certain areas — especially in terms of service efficiency and activity options for guests. Lunch at the beach restaurant was good, but there’s still room to enhance the overall dining experience and attention to details. Despite that, the beauty of the place, the calm environment, and those special family moments made it a memorable getaway. I would still recommend Île aux Cerfs for families or anyone looking for a serene island escape surrounded by natural beauty.
