Great resort with awesome facilities. Sanjeev was very helpful during our visit, explaining the surroundings to us and making sure we knew where to find all the key facilities around the resort. Despite the rainy weather, he went out of his way to make our stay comfortable, thank you!

Wonderful authentic Seychellois hotel, we keep coming back
We stayed at this hotel twice and were very happy both times. The location is great – only 20–25 minutes from the airport, which feels like a big advantage after a long flight.
There are two “mature” restaurants on site, and that deserves a special mention: our child, who usually hardly eats anything outside home, was eating everything there, and the cocktails for adults were excellent. We tried both a ground‑floor room (during our first stay) and a small villa (on our next visit) – we enjoyed both. This is an authentic Seychellois hotel, exactly how it should be, not a cold sci‑fi style modern place.
The staff are always smiling and very friendly. We especially appreciated the valet parking service: they can move your car, park it in the shade and turn on the A/C while we are still getting ready to leave – incredibly convenient.
A minor area for improvement: sometimes it took a bit of time to find the staff member with towels to set them up on the sunbeds. It’s not a real problem, more a small service point that could be improved.
A big thank you to Amaa (Front Office Manager), who resolved all the issues we had during the booking process quickly and professionally.
The beach is superb: clean water and a large coral reef where you can see many fish, turtles, rays and even octopuses. Overall, we were very pleased with our stays and would happily return.

Our stay at STORY Seychelles was truly lovely.
The room was beautiful, very comfortable, and perfectly maintained. The facilities were excellent, and the hotel itself feels calm, elegant, and well cared for.
Overall, the experience was very positive. At times, we felt that the restaurant staff seemed a bit tired and their service felt more mechanical than personal. However, this did not overshadow our stay.
A special mention goes to the boys by the pool (Sanjeen) they were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. They really made us feel welcome and well looked after, and they added a warm, human touch to our holiday.
We enjoyed our time at STORY and would happily recommend it.

Disappointed:
We decided to do a “walk-in”. The ladies were a bit reluctant to give us additional chair and tables because the said our guests would not turn up. We had 6 adults and 3 child. The food took 33mins to arrive. Very little variety of food to be honest. The kids menu were on a separate piece of paper that was not very presentable. The table was not set properly and the servers did not checkup on us at all during our meal.
I guess the place works well for drinks not for dinner.

Great cocktail bar and restaurant. Staff super friendly and professional, we drank 4 different cocktails all were very good and strong. We also dined there and the food was fresh, very good, and they managed to offer me perfect Vegan dishes!
The atmosphere is so fun, weren’t many people around, though everyone danced and had lots of fun :)
Highly recommended!

Booked a table via Facebook which was really nice (fast reply!) The restaurant itself looks really cool! The service is very friendly and professional. The food is not the best we've ever had but very pricey. We shared a few appetizers and the duck for main course. We didn't finish the duck as it looked a little weird and also it was room temperature when it arrived at our table. The selection of cocktails is really good and they are yummy!
