    Too firm mattress, but then we stayed in Praslin and La Digue and all the mattresses were firm. So I guess it`s common in Seyschelles :)

    Great value for the money. Spacious and clean room (the whole 1. floor of the house). Nice patio, Beautiful surroundings, great location. You can rent the car from there. Bus stops a few steps away, shops (food) and decent street food places just a couple of minutes of walking. Ocean across the street. Nice manager lady. And of course big turtles on the territory :) We loved everything!

    The cold water tap of bathroom sink was not working and it was quite dificult to use it with only hot water. The room was quite dark since there is only one weak light bulb and two table lamps.

    The location is good, very close to shops, takeaways and bus station. They have a big garden and a nice and clean pool. The staff was nice and helpful.

    There could be better amenities in the bathroom and kitchen - but we had packed our own toiletries and had very simple meals so it worked

    The host Nick is superb. He even met up with us later in our vacation to return items we left in our room.

    The apartment could have been a little bit cleaner. The kitchen towels were old and smelly.

    They are renovating the rooms, but we got an old one (although it was ok and had everything we needed).

    The staff is superb and flexible. We were allowed to use a day room after Check-out for leaving the bags and have a quick shower before heading to the airport. Bus stop, supermarket and takeaway food are very close. They have their own giant turtles! Not far from the airport.

    Few kitchen amenities Cats and Dogs sleeping everywhere making the place smell a bit.. Was a bit disappointed that i was told that new client was checking in at 11pm while i asked to check in at 12:00 to 1:00 my request was rejected.

    I like that it has a swimming pool... Its very nice place to be, the room was ok. The lady at the reception was nice

    The beach, better go to nearby Anse Royal. Cleanliness has to improve, also maintenance of the rooms and hotel area.

    Although its a simple Lodge I enjoyed staying for a few days. Best manager Nick made everything possible, from aloa Vera for my allergies until a Return to the Airport. I highly appreciate that I was able to stay until late without any charges as I had a night flight. Nick was very ambitious to improve the state of the hotel and I hope the owner appreciates his work and his great interest. The hotel has to improve in any sort of area, cleanliness overall, the pool is there but you can't use it because it's not maintained. The only place where I stayed where I had flowers in my room, interior decoration qiete nice. Lovely garden! Nick took care of all the guests and was responsible for everything around. Great job & like to take the opportunity to say thanks for everything!!

    The biggest dislike was a disappointment about the swimming pool which wasn’t available at all, but it was being renovated, so for the future guests it will be a bounus. As the renovation happened, it was pretty noisy for some time, but not for too long…

    There is nice garden with plants and flowers, and nice animas as well.

    We thought the bathrooms could do with a bit of a makeover to suit the overall look and feel of this lively property. Having said that , it was perfectly functional and clean .

    The location was perfect bang on the East coast highway and the room had all the essentials that you need on a trip. Clean and well done up self sufficient room. The caretaker, Nick (Nikhil) was reachable for every query we had. Good privacy and comfortable stay!

    The room was clean and equipped with all necessary items one may need in a self-catering apartment. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, Nick (the manager) was so kind, he let us stay until later in the day due to our flight time, he was extremely considerate and even dropped us to the airport.

    The wifi connection is a bit approximative, with plenty of blind spots in the apartment. But we managed.

    The location is fine, particularly if you're prepared to go adventuring on a bus. The apartment was comfortable enough. What made the whole stay exceptional was the manager, Nick. We had a late flight out of the Seychelles and Nick was fine about us checking out very late without any extra charges. He also offered to pick us up a couple of times, and gave us a lift to the airport.
