Reviews
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.
10 euros per night for Internet. Charges for black coffee. I suggest booking elsewhere.
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!
