Reviews
The team showed great understanding and a genuine willingness to help in a challenging situation. Their responsiveness, flexibility, and thoughtful approach truly stood out and made the whole experience very reassuring.
It is rare to encounter such a high level of customer care and professionalism. Based on this experience alone, I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone planning a visit to the Seychelles.
The hotel itself is undeniably beautiful the grounds, the views, and the atmosphere are lovely. The restaurant food was genuinely good, and the overall setting feels special. That part deserves credit.
However, our experience was overshadowed by an issue that really shouldn’t happen at a hotel of this standard. We informed the reception that we were on our honeymoon, and instead of being congratulated or offered anything welcoming, we were told that honeymoon benefits are only given if the marriage certificate is within 6 months.
Honestly, this policy makes no sense. Many couples save and plan their honeymoon well after the wedding and no other hotel we stayed at on this trip had such a rigid rule. In fact, we stayed at different hotels across all three main islands for our island-hopping trip (4 nights in each), and every single one of them made us feel welcomed and celebrated. This was the only hotel where we felt dismissed, and unfortunately, it made this the least enjoyable stay of our entire Seychelles trip.
The receptionist didn’t seem trained to handle the situation, and we ended up having to speak to the reception manager, who simply repeated the policy then fixed the situation out of good will!
As for the room, it was fine overall, but we found it filled with ants!! not what you expect from a hotel at this price point.
It’s a beautiful property, but for the price and reputation, the service and guest care really need to improve. Small acts of kindness and flexibility go a long way in creating a memorable stay, especially for guests celebrating something as important as their honeymoon.
