Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort and Spa

Great hotel. We selected it because of the quality and the dive centre; both were great. If you are looking for a mix between a romantic and peaceful vacation and a great weekend of dive, this is the place for you. Hotel: The rooms are spacious and well-distributed. The hotel is beautiful, and the restaurants offer great food (Asian, teppanyaki, international, Italian). The service was incredible and friendly. To improve: The sunbeds on the beach need an upgrade, with more comfortable bed mats and a design that matches the hotel. Labriz Dive Center: We did six dives, and the dive sites were excellent, except for Anse Patates, at least during this season. We had the chance to see sharks, turtles, octopuses, stingrays, lobsters, and a diversity of fish. Some of the locations have tunnels, and those are great spots to encounter a lot of creatures.

Spent an amazing 3 nights here with my spouse. Could not ask for more - a true paradise! The rooms are updated well and we had the large beachfront plunge pool villa located near the restaurants and activities, these give a real sense of privacy and amazing access to just a stunning beach. We barely left the villa! Food was A- I’d say but service was A+++ - really well trained and excellent staff. Location on Silhouette gives you a feeling of being in the tropics on your own island. The resort was pretty empty when we were there in January so that added to it also. Plenty of activities and we would easily have stayed a week - snorkeling, diving, hiking, feeding turtles. Beautiful pool too. Would have been great for our kids too if they had been with us, no matter their age. Somehow this place is a great newlywed spot but also family friendly. Only a few minor negatives: 1) the boat ride over only happens twice a day and our flight was late so we almost missed the last trip of the day. Im not sure what would have happened it we missed that. Also the ride is rough and several people were vomiting on the way. 2) the charge for the boat ride (€220 pp) is annoying, 3) small quibble but the a/c won’t work if any window or door is open and is super sensitive so we had to be very vigilant about that. Otherwise this resort is amazing! Not a top top 5-star resort but just a shade under a Four Seasons or Waldorf, I’d say. Highly recommend!

There are some very good things about this Hilton, but there is also room for improvement. First and foremost, it is a magnificent resort, the only one of its kind in Silhouette (apart from an 8-room micro hotel), set on a beautiful beach and surrounded by greenery and birds. What won us over was the extreme kindness and attention of all the staff, both in the rooms and in the hotel: faultless and true customer service. The Gran Kaz restaurant is sublime, full of history and very good food, as are the other restaurants, but of course we prefer, in the Seychelles, to eat Creole or seafood 😉 3 points for improvement: 1-The history of the island and of the Daubans in particular, should be presented at reception, and Laura Dauban's book available - A training course for managers would be welcome ... because after a few questions no-one knew either the history of the island or the book - we were finally able to get it back. 2- The price of the buffet is excessive compared to other restaurants. 3- The price of the boat, which we discovered after booking, is excessive. Finally, one last point: this hotel has a lot of Russians, who are very noisy late at night, and drink a lot. Why not create a special area for them to avoid noise pollution for other guests .... who have also paid for the comfort of their room!

My husband and I had a week at Labriz in January. We chose it for its facilities and remote location, hoping to see some good wildlife. The resort was excellent. The staff were all kind, helpful and cheerful. We enjoyed their company as well as their service. Shout out for Diness who kept our villa beautifully and Ashok and Eli who were great at looking after the activities. Our boat journeys were fine. We did have to wait a while, on Mahe, at the end of our stay due to a late flight, but the staff at the landing area made us very welcome so we didn't have to sit at the airport. January is the rainy season. It rained mainly in the evenings and at night. But it was still warm and we didn't feel it changed anything. There were also some midges. (Not swarms, just around) But we kept the doors shut in the villa and brought repellent and some trousers and long sleeved clothes for the evening. If you choose to go to a rain forest at this time of year then hey. It's part of the experience. We did some walks and saw some great sights. Walking shoes are important and you do have to be sensible re slippery paths with the rain and algae. The rewards of stunning scenery are worth it. The food was also excellent. My favourite was Arabic night in the buffet restaurant. The flavours and choices were fabulous. The chefs were delighted to talk about their recipes too. We enjoyed the sauna in the spa. Got caught there one day in a short rain storm, but it was fine! You were wet anyway! We also used the gym a few times. This is the only area we came across that could really do with an upgrade. I think it is planned. This is a great place to go. We learnt a lot about the area and had a relaxing time as well. Thank you to all.

We loved spending the festive season at the Hilton. Silhouette Island is cut off from the mainland and is pure paradise. The villa is spacious and the restaurants are of a very high standard. A special mention to Jackson who looked after us so well during this unforgettable stay, thank you!
