Our recent 7-day stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton Allamanda Seychelles was nothing short of perfect, and we owe it all to the outstanding staff and management who went above and beyond to make our holiday truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and felt immediately at home. The team at the front desk, particularly Amir, were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every detail of our stay was taken care of with genuine care and professionalism. A special thanks to Emanuel and Chef Ewan, who made our dining experiences exceptional. Their attentiveness to our family’s needs, especially with our two young sons, was truly remarkable. They consistently went the extra mile to ensure that every meal was delightful, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for us all. But it wasn’t just the named staff members who made our stay exceptional; it was clear that every single member of the DoubleTree Allamanda team was committed to providing excellent service. The warm smiles, helpful attitudes, and willingness to assist with any request made us feel truly valued as guests. To the management team, thank you for leading such an extraordinary group of people. Your commitment to excellence is reflected in every aspect of the hotel, and it made our family holiday in Seychelles one that we will cherish forever. We left with hearts full of gratitude and memories that will last a lifetime. We cannot wait to return to the DoubleTree by Hilton Allamanda Seychelles and experience your outstanding hospitality once again. With sincere thanks,

Had a 3 day honeymoon stay at the hotel and highly impressed by the efforts put in by the staff to make it so special. Amazing ocean view rooms , infinity pool , access to clean beaches & great food are just few of the perks here. We were given complementary goodies on arrival along with vouchers for picnic basket & romantic dinner at pool side with live music. Everyday our room was specially decorated with fresh flowers. Special thanks to housekeeping staff - Vinay for catering our demands , Amir for the lovely greeting & Chef - Abhishek and the entire restaurant team for taking such good care of us.

We stayed here for 3 days. Though the rooms were basic for a 4 star property, the view made up for the same. Our room was 'Deluxe Grand Ocean View Room'. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a private beach right in front of the property. I had the chance to snorkel and was able to sight some fishes as well. Overall would recommend staying here for a couple of days if you are looking for a beach side property.

Our visit here was part of a day excursion from the ship. The facilities were fabulous. We were fed a delicious buffet lunch. We were allowed access to the beautiful beach that was inside the reef. We had access to the bar. We were able to use the loungers on the beach to really enjoy our time there. The gift shop offered a good variety of items.

We stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton, Seychelles for a relaxing 3-day family vacation, and it was an amazing experience. Our beach-facing deluxe room offered breathtaking views that made our stay truly special. A special thanks to staff members Nikhil and Tolera, as well as the Chefs, who ensured we had delicious Indian dishes throughout our stay. Much appreciate their efforts to make our stay comfortable and cater to our tastes. The reception staff were welcoming and helpful in suggesting various options to explore the island, making our trip even more enjoyable. Overall, a wonderful stay at a beautiful location with excellent service. Highly recommended!

Kempinski Seychelles Resort is an excellent five-star resort with clean facilities and friendly, professional staff. The place offers an amazing, very clean beach, perfect for snorkeling and chilling. The beach service is excellent and includes variety of cocktails, foods, and beverages. The property is located on a scenic but remote beach, so it's hard and expensive to leave the resort to see other places or eat outside. The place offers three dining options: 1. Buffet dining with a good but not diverse choice of food 2. Beach restaurant, which offers a diverse and tasty menu. 3. Chef restaurant that apparently nobody attends. Therefore, if you don’t book a half board option, you actually have one dining option - the #2, which is good but not enough for a vacation of more than five days

our honeymoon at the hotel kempinski Seychelles was amazing! The food at the buffet was incredible! every night there is a different cuisine like “Pan-Asian, Arabic, Italian” and so on. We looked forward to the dining every night! Thank you to the chefs and the waiters especially Ayman, Rona, Emma, Nelly and Mercia! The food and the service was excellent every night! Would definitely recommend! The location and the beach was also incredible! The rooms were clean and spacious. Every staff at the hotel were very friendly, welcoming and always in a good mood which puts the guests in a good mood too :) Overall the experience was great and we would definitely choose this hotel again!

Danielle Harvey

Absolutely loved our time at Kempinski resort. On arrival at the resort we were greeted and welcomed by Junior who was an amazing porter and very friendly. Thank you for making a stay perfect! The restaurant staff at Windsong were also fabulous especially Barbara who always went above and beyond. We’ll most definitely be back!

Andrew Wilding

We’ve really enjoyed our stay here, everyone has been amazing. It’s a beautiful location. We had a great service from Babrha during our wedding breakfast and Alissa has been so kind and helpful throughout our wedding preparation.

Kempinski Seychelles is absolutely beautiful! We came here for our honeymoon after a week of being on safari, and it was a perfect relaxing end to our trip. The ladies in red are incredibly helpful, and the room was fantastic. Hiking to the top of Mount Kempinski is a must, the view is incredible. We greatly enjoyed our barefoot honeymoon dinner at Windsong. Our server, Adel, was so nice and took the time to take some pictures of us on the beach. She was genuinely a pleasure to be around. We will definitely be back!

Our stay at Constance Ephelia was nothing short of amazing! This expansive hotel offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, making it an ideal choice for families. The resort offers a range of activities for everyone, and we loved renting bikes to explore the beautiful surroundings. Cycling around the property was a delightful way to soak in the stunning scenery. We took advantage of the kayaking and snorkeling trips, which were fantastic! The clear waters and vibrant marine life made for unforgettable experiences. We were also impressed with the quality and variety of food. We managed to have dinner at Helios which we found to be amazing. A special mention goes to Soukaina, the guest relations lady, who was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. She went out of her way to ensure our experience was enjoyable and comfortable, making us feel truly welcomed. Overall, Constance Ephelia exceeded our expectations with its vast offerings and family-friendly atmosphere. We left with wonderful memories and can't wait to return!

Sue May

Our overall stay at Constance has been incredible. Although we had a minor issue with our villa at first, the staff responded immediately and moved us to a new one without any hassle. Everyone here is extremely friendly, the service is outstanding, and the beach is absolutely beautiful. The food has been delicious, and as someone who needs gluten-free meals, they went above and beyond to accommodate my dietary needs. Thanks to their attentiveness, this has truly felt like a vacation in paradise. We highly recommend Constance and would return without hesitation!

The hotel was very nicely located. The food was good. The staff was always very friendly. We had a personal villa host, his name is Jean-Yves. He was super friendly, very attentive, always available to us at any time of the day or night. He took care of every problem and answered every question we had. We felt completely at home. Without Jean-Yves we would have had a lovely stay. But with him we had a fantastic stay. We missed him when he didn't pick us up in the evening or when we didn't need him. He is such a warm personality, we would have loved to take him home with us 😂. We would come back to the Seychelles and to Ephelia any time just because of him. Anyone who has him as their villa host can consider themselves lucky. As a person he is a gift. Dear Jean-Yves, if you are reading this, we wish you all the best in the world. You are an amazing person, we are glad that we were able to get to know you and spend time with you. We look forward to being able to hug you again someday. Please stay as wonderful and personable as you are, because that's what makes you perfect!

An Amazing Stay! Our stay at Constance Ephelia was incredible. The location, surrounded by lush greenery and private beaches, is a true paradise. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable with breathtaking balcony views. The food was delicious and diverse. The seafood menu was especially outstanding. Breakfasts had plenty of choices for everyone. The wonderful massage at the spa and various activities, from water sports to nature hikes, added to the relaxation. Fast internet was helpful for a quick work break. The staff were friendly, helpful, and professional. It’s perfect for big and small groups seeking a unique and memorable experience. Highly recommended for creating unforgettable memories.

Maria Magdalena

We had a memorable stay at Constance Ephelia. The entire staff was amazing, however we were truly impressed by Clara. She is by far one of the most experienced, professional and dedicated staff we’ve came across during our stays around the world in the past 8 years. I usually don’t write reviews due to the fact that my 2 kids are “eating” my time and barely find any spare time to reply all the messages however, Clara went above all the expectations: ⁃ It was early morning checkin and we were tired but she made sure that all the informations given to us were well structured and she made sure didn’t overwhelmed us! ⁃ Her voice tone was calm and kind which encouraged us to place questions where necessary! ⁃ I’ve noticed that she was an active listener which made her answer promptly to all addressed questions! ⁃ Her body language was noticed to be positive and made me feel welcomed! ⁃ Due to the short time taking in replying the questions made me think that Clara’s knowledge about the resort was impressive; ⁃ The way she was groomed enforced the idea that she is a truly professional asset for the resort! Her hair was nicely tied back, no baby hair “flying” around, nails were nicely kept clean, her uniformed looked spotless (ironed and the colors were not shaded). ⁃ I would like to add a point which can be improved but so far I could not find any! I will definitely come back to this resort! Thank you Clara and the team!

Yet another fantastic resort that has grabbed a stunning location. Nestled in the hillside between two private beaches, it is paradise. The villas are rated in location and private facilities, i.e., pools, etc, so be ready to break the bank. Or possibly be slightly disappointed with your location within the resort. We paid for an upgrade to an ocean view villa but were disappointed with our balcony view being the lower villa of a two-tier villa set-up. Food and drink is also at the very top end in costing but is excellent Breakfast is tremendous and is served in the Mahe restaurant with stunning views out to sea and Silhouette Island in the distance.

Tanja Elnaz Hassanzadeh

Dear OVB Team, I wanted to thank you all again from the bottom of my heart! You helped me so much with the preparations and the organization to surprise my friend on her birthday and supported me in every way that I could not have imagined better. It was planned perfectly from start to finish: the cake was delicious and you rounded it off with an unforgettable live Happy Birthday song performed by the local band! Thank you very much. We will always remember this evening! ❤️❤️❤️

We stayed 2 nights at Hilton Northholme Resort upon arriving for our Seychelles island-hopping vacation. The resort is beautifully designed, and the villa accommodation is spacious and full of amenities. The bathroom and balcony are definitely the highlights of the space, featuring a jacuzzi tub in the center of the bathroom and a large, fully furnished balcony overlooking the sea. Unfortunately, there was some construction work right next to our villa, which disturbed our first morning for hours, especially because we couldn't leave the villa due to heavy rain. From Hilton, I would have expected better planning. However, as compensation, the resort arranged our taxi ride to the ferry the next day. The breakfast is great, offering a full-range buffet with sweet and savory dishes, fruits, vegetables, and juices. The omelette was dry tho, but I think it was more of an “different egg type” problem than anything else. We had good breakfasts in general and also tried both their restaurants for dinner. We loved both the Mediterranean and Creole restaurants, which had a great selection of meals for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets. At the Creole restaurant, we were taken care of by a very nice waitress. Unfortunately, we forgot her name, but she truly made our dinner experience special with her attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism. The location is far from most things by walk. It's a great option if you just want to stay at the resort and maybe take some taxi rides, but for a longer stay, we wouldn’t have booked here due to the inconvenience of traveling around the island. Previously we stayed at other locations with great access to buses or places that could be reached by short walks. All in all, we had a great stay, but given the brand name, the place could do a bit more to live up to expectations.

We visited for our honeymoon and have been so excited to visit the Seychelles for over a year now and upon arrival we were really impressed with the hotel and its surroundings. Our hotel room is big and clean but it is very run down, we have had endless issues. The issues being: the mini fridge leaking, the lights not working, the windows being broken causing us to be bitten alive by mosquitos and the bathtub randomly deciding to turn on the jets flooding the bathroom (twice) while my partner was brushing his teeth. We reported these issues and the only thing that was fixed was the windows which were pried shut with a screwdriver….this is a 5 star hotel as you can imagine this is not the experience we hoped for. On the first day we were laying by the pool when the wind picked up and blew the umbrella over, I went up to pick it up so that it would not blow onto anyone else, but another gust of wind ended up trapping my fingers in the umbrella and sending me across the decking. I must say when this happened the staff on site were absolutely lovely and brought me ice and checked to make sure I was okay. However the situation and the parasoles should be addressed by management because someone else could have been really hurt. We were gifted a bottle of sparkling wine to apologise for all the issues we have had in the room. While I understand the sentiment, we are not big alcohol drinkers and this doesn’t rectify all the issues considering the fridge still didn’t work and the lights were still broken. These items were fixed later on in the trip, (after a few more calls) and we were treated to a meal on the hotel (drinks not included). The hotel is located near to the lovely Beau Vallon, but expect to spend around £10 each way for a 5min taxi ride. We tried walking it and it, but it is an especially dangerous road, without any pavements. Considering their monopoly on the island, it would be nice if Hilton offered some sort shuttle or discounted rate for journeys down, simply to not risk putting their clients in potential danger. Nothing that I’ve mentioned is the staffs fault, everyone we’ve spoken to has been very friendly and accommodating but overall, other then the scenic views, I am really unimpressed and would not recommend this hotel at all, especially not for your honeymoon.

Aggie

We stayed at Hilton for three days. We had exceptional service specially from Bekele and Liza from the restaurant. They always put smile on our face and made sure our vacation is memorable. On the other side, we booked our room for sunset view but we didn’t get that which is a little disappointing.

Mostafa Roushdy

We had a great honeymoon start in Anantara Maia Seychelles, the villas were exquisite and the view was out of this world. Our host Adeel took care of us and pampered us in every way. I recommend this place to honeymooners or any couple who wants to be pampered and have a luxurious experience.

Mohammad Alqassim

We had a wonderful four night vacation at Anantara Maia Seychelles with the family during July this year. I cant express my satisfaction enough. The service was beyond my expectations. Special thanks to our host Surya for his excellent service & help. There are plenty of activities that you can do at the resort along with your children. Not all of them were decently priced though. There is only one restaurant at the resort so you might be limited with dinner options if you choose to stay in during the whole period. The villa pool water was a bit cold at that period & there is no option to heat it - this may be a concern to some people. Overall, excellent stay and would come back again for sure.

Sebastiaan Korse

We recently stayed at the Anantara Maia Hotel in Mahe, Seychelles, and it was quite the experience! My pregnant wife and I were treated like royalty, with Vivi, our personal butler, taking exceptional care of us. She was always available to handle any request, making us feel truly at home. Chef Hans deserves a special shoutout for his culinary magic! He crafted personalized meals three times a day, taking into account all of my wife's food allergies and cravings. Hans, you're a star! However, a few tweaks could elevate this luxury experience to perfection. While the personal touch from the staff was impeccable, the expectation to dine three times a day felt a bit restrictive, especially since going out required transportation. If they could just bundle the cost and include amenities like the private chef, fresh fruits, laundry, and transport as standard, it would take the 'carefree vacation' vibe to the next level. Overall, the villa was beautiful, and the service was top-notch. I'd rate it an 8.5, with special compliments to Vivi and Hans for making our stay memorable. With a few adjustments, this place could easily score a perfect 10. If you're looking for excellent service and a beautiful stay, you're in good hands here!

Funda Nadiroglu

Positive: villa was gorgeous, butler Vivi was highly skilled, chef Hans was extremely skilled. All people who work there were not fake but really friendly and caring. Negative: so many things have a charge. I needed to sign so many checks. I have been to hotels that had the same price or higher price range and did not need to worry about signing off every little thing. I prefer for this beautiful hotel to raise the prices and make the experience more carefree. So that's why I gave 4 stars instead of 5 stars.

Julia

The most special stay we have ever had! Our butler Alfred was an absolute gem and did an amazing job taking care of us and he added so many personal touches and did so many small, seemingly unnoticeable things (like even cleaning our shoes!!, setting up baths, prepping wake up drinks, helping us plan activities, the list is endless) that amounted to our ultimate comfort and made the stay so so enjoyable! Definitely spoiled for any future trips.

Liliane Barros

I’m so happy my husband and I ended up choosing this Four Seasons for our honeymoon. It was beyond what we dreamed of. Service is impeccable, everyone is so attentive and kind. The resort itself has the best beach I’ve ever been. The rooms are stunning and super clean. The restaurants are the best in the island. I can’t wait to go back.

**Disappointing Experience at the Four Seasons Seychelles** I recently visited the beach at the Four Seasons Seychelles and, although I was considering staying here in the future, my experience left me deeply disappointed. On our visit, we decided to stop by the bar to buy fresh coconuts, as we had done the day before. However, this time, we were told they don’t sell to non-residents. The inconsistency was frustrating, especially since the waitress who informed us was rude about it. It’s worth mentioning that both the bartender and the gentleman who cut the coconuts were kind, which made the experience even more baffling. Next, we attempted to book a table for lunch, only to be told reservations needed to be made 24 hours in advance. When we tried to book for the following day, we were suddenly informed the restaurant was fully booked. Strangely enough, the space was completely empty. It felt like there was either a policy problem or, worse, discrimination at play. It's a shame, as I genuinely liked the beach and was planning to return as a resident on a future trip. However, this experience left a sour taste and raised serious concerns about how guests are treated here. Four Seasons should look into their customer service and policies to ensure consistency and fairness. ---

My husband and I recently stayed here for our honeymoon and we can honestly say it exceeded all of our expectations. The Four Seasons Seychelles has truly secured the best beach on Mahé Island, making it a true paradise. The breathtaking views and pristine sands are even more incredible in person; the pictures simply do not do justice to the beauty of this place. Without a doubt, this is a five-star resort. Whether you're considering this resort for a romantic honeymoon or a dream wedding, it's the perfect spot to create unforgettable memories. Now we did hear great things about the Four Seasons at Desroches Island, but I would highly recommend this resort on the main island for those looking to stay longer and enjoy a wider range of activities. The convenience and access to adventures around Mahé make it the preferable choice for an extended getaway. That said, the staff at Four Seasons is what truly set this resort apart from our other options. Special shoutouts to resort managers Mary and Omar, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was flawless. Their leadership is evident in the fantastic service provided by their team. Our resort driver, Mario, was always punctual and shared fascinating insights about the island and its history. Chef Trevor crafted the most exquisite private dinners, creating culinary experiences that we will never forget. And let’s not forget Samia, the ambience expert, who ensured that every detail was perfect, making our evenings even more magical. Pay no mind to the recent 1 star reviews, as they are clearly from guests that did not bother to familiarize themselves with how to make reservations (Victoria), were impatient with the checkout process (Abdullah), and or simply couldn't plan their dream vacation in advance. If you don’t book your experiences in advance you will run the risk of not being able to make certain reservations when you arrive. This is a five star resort and everything is in high demand. Thank you Four Seasons! Until next time!

James Bicknell

This is a truly wonderful hotel. The setting is magical, the service is exemplary, and the experience is timeless. Alphie, our butler, made every interaction seamless. James Edwards was a superstar, making our stay easy. We can't wait to return.

Foxy

The level of personalized service was phenomenal. From the intake to the requested bath in room, to the chef creating a personalized dish at my request. I loved the chat features through WhatsApp, it really helped me stay in great communication with concierge. The perfect holiday experience. Breathtaking views and wonderful attention to detail by all resort staff. Perfect location with a lovely beach.
