Description

Demeure de Cap Maçon Guest House, a 3-star hotel built in 2011, offers a diverse range of room types from Standard Family rooms to Family Apartments, accommodating various travel needs. The property maintains an 8/10 rating overall, with consistent scores in cleanliness, amenities, location, and service. The guest house features free parking, WiFi, a bar, garden, and convenient services like express check-in/check-out, safety deposit boxes, and luggage storage. Guests often highlight the welcoming owners Marianne and Jean-Louis, who contribute to a friendly atmosphere. The rooms are described as clean with daily refreshment, and some apartments provide stunning views over the bay and beach. Breakfast includes fresh fruits and is appreciated for its quality. However, the hotel is located on a steep hill, which may challenge some drivers. While many guests praise the tranquility and scenic surroundings, a few mention the building's aged condition and occasional maintenance issues.

Location

Situated in Cap Maçon, Anse Royale, in the Takamaka district of Seychelles, the guest house is just 110 meters from Anse Forbans beach, allowing easy access to the shore. The Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) is 11 km away, making airport transfers relatively quick. The location is on the outskirts of the island, with only minimal nearby facilities such as one stall and a small eatery within a 15-minute walk. Due to the remote setting and steep hill access, having a car is recommended for convenience. Hiking trails and secluded beaches are accessible on foot but require 1 to 3 hours of walking.

Tips

Bring a vehicle to navigate the steep hill and reach local amenities easily.
Request rooms on upper floors or higher buildings to avoid musty smells reported in basement rooms.
Confirm internet and air conditioning functionality upon arrival, as these have been noted to be unreliable in some cases.

You wake up in the morning by the sound of the breaking waves and all kind of beautiful birds. You get up and get rewarded by a beautiful view of the beach and the tropical mountains.
Healthy breakfast with tasty fruits and you're ready for the day.

The steep hill to arrive to the hotel looks extreme on the first sight, but after driving the second time through it it feels just like any other road.

The owners Marianne, Jean-Louis and the employees are very friendly and welcoming! We sadly moved to an other hotel in the north in the middle of our stay in Mahé and we regret not to have stayed longer there.

We hope to come back to this beautiful place!

· 1. General impression It looks like an old general's dacha outside Moscow. It used to be cool, but now everything is in a deplorable, dilapidated state. Yes, there is antique furniture and doors made of expensive wood. But everything has dried out, is warped, does not open/close, creaks, the plaster is falling off in places, the electrics are a disaster - cut wires (current-carrying?) are sticking out everywhere, sockets are falling out of the walls, the ceiling fan sparks and starts smoking burnt plastic when turned on (the owner honestly warned about this and gave us a floor fan instead), etc. The pros are clean. The cons are some kind of poor kitchen equipment: three or four mismatched glasses, the same number of plates, three forks for a four-bed room... and so on. There can be no talk of proper cooking and serving. Well, here you could have spent a hundred bucks and made a decent minimum of accessories?! Rusty refrigerators, etc. - we don't pay attention, allowance for the climate. In short - an old colonial mansion in complete disrepair. 2. A separate achtung! All the rooms, especially the room on the first (basement) floor, stink terribly of a musty cellar. It is really impossible to be there. The owner denies everything, says there is no smell, don't show off. It is impossible to accurately identify this room from the photographs, it seems the owner is passing it off as a "superior room" or "standard suite" depending on the situation. On this floor, besides this room, there are only utility rooms. 3. Location This is the outskirts of the island. Within 15 minutes' walk there is one stall and one micro-eatery (I must give it credit - very tasty and inexpensive, but visually - a hole in the hole). A car is a must have, and even then - it will take an hour to get to the center one way. But! There are wild hiking trails nearby, and super secluded magnificent beaches, which can only be reached on foot in 1-2-3 hours. And know - from the main road these 100 meters to the house are strictly up a steep mountain. 4. The owner - customer focus is not her thing. Inadequate and difficult

Good Breakfast and the owner are very friendly and supportive. It was a pleasure to stay at the appartment. The appartment has an incredible view over the bay and the beach as well the breakfast room which is also with very elegant interior. East as well Westcoast are easy to reach from the ressort.

Our whole stay was incredible. I deeply regret that we haven't spoken to Marianna much until our very last day, she was so informative and polite and helpful! Their hotel is a real gem on this island. I wished we could have stayed longer there, we will definitely come back!

Great place on top of Cap Macon. There are three houses with multiple apartments, the most beatifully are on the second house. Two bedreemo, with double bath. Kitchecn and great patio. All rooms are very clean and daily refreshed. Owners are very welcome, open to suggest best place, hire car, or supermaekret. If you want you can also ask for a great dinner. When booking check the availability of the big houses.

We are from Australia and we stayed there for 4 days while in Seychelles with my wife and two kids. Was an absolutely beautiful place with breathtaking views. The place was very clean and quite modern, the owners were very welcoming and were very lovely people to deal with. Recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing secluded place to stay as a couple or family. Will definitely go back again. Thank-you very much again to the owners for being so friendly to me and my family.

5 nights (November 2020): we were very satisfied with our stay at Demeure de Cap Macon! The hostess went out of her way to make us have a good time there. communication went smoothly! Unfortunately, both the internet and the air conditioning were broken, but we were quickly moved to another apartment. The breakfast is great, the area very well maintained. In our opinion, a car is essential.

Very quiet place and extraordinary sea view from the terrace

19.02.2018 Ronald

Very nice. We got a wonderful reception by the very kind owners Jean Louis and Mary-Anna. The room is more a junior suite, very clean, with all amenities and comfort and very quiet located. Next morning we had a very good and opulent breakfast freshly prepared by Jean Louis with a stunning view. Very good value and highly recommendable!!
