    The restaurant is not diverse, has few options, and has no nightlife, and the spa is modest. The place is suitable for relaxation, but the options are limited

    A beautiful resort, but we had difficulty walking because it is on a mountain and we always had to go up and down to the restaurant and reception. The villas are large and beautiful, made from wood, but few of them overlook the sea and most of them overlook the garden.

    As everywhere in the Seychelles the trips were very expensive. The food was much better than we expected from other reviews, some of the meals were very good, but some were just ok. I would have loved some of the local curries but these rarely seemed to be on the dinner menu.

    Fabulous quiet and secluded location with great snorkelling and beautiful infinity pool and beach, yet very close to the airport so very easy to get to. Lovely secluded villa in the rainforest with outdoor shower. Great service including golf buggy rides to the villas at any time, invisible housekeeping, very helpful and immediately responsive reception staff, great boat taxi and some very friendly waiters. Limited phone and Wi-Fi coverage actually turned out to be a blessing rather than a pain. We all talked and read a lot more and slept much better as a result, but the Wi-Fi was there at the beach and pool near reception for when we needed it.

    One of the paddles for paddle boarding was a bit broken, and my husband had to use the kayak paddles which kinda worked. Food is alright, average, but better than I expected reading some of the reviews.

    The rooms are beautiful and the place is very calm. The staff was very nice and friendly for the most part. There are paddle boards and kayaks you can borrow for free. We also had great massages. We had a great time!

    There's only wifi in the reception area, and the water in the shower could have been a bit hotter (probably warm enough for most people though, especially during hotter and peak travelling times)

    The location, island, staff and services were superb. We felt the very personal and approachable service and loved our stay there and that we got to know the staff members a bit. The tours we were able to book were amazing too and it was all so smooth and uncomplicated. Everyone was extremely friendly and made us feel special. The villa was great too.

    the food was very disappointing considering a high price for half board. dinners were especially average with tasteless cabbage or lentil soup. The originality of flavours and creativity in the kitchen was much higher in other hotels we stayed in.

    great staff at reception, we were on a honeymoon and got upgraded to a fantastic villa with a jacuzzi which made our stay very memorable and special. Great to have kayaks free of charge too and a National park around to explore.

    - Compared to other 4* hotels/ resorts the food was ok.

    - The facility is beautifully landscaped on the hillside. With a lot of privacy. A great maintained garden with great plants, palms and trees. - Since the resort was not fully booked, we received an upgrade free of charge. - Beautiful reef for snorkeling - The staff is very very helpful and friendly any time. - kayaks free of charge! We loved that. - most comfortable beds! - previous comments about water prices we could not understand: Yes it is more expensive, but you have to remember that you are on a tiny island and there are transport routes etc. - also the round trip by taxi boat for 30 euros is absolutely fair - The luggage is carried into the boat and is already in the room after check-in. It does not get any better! - What we also really appreciated is that in the evening there was a menu that you could choose in the morning and not a buffet. So there is hardly any waste here.

    The food really wasn't up to standard for the price paid. We left very disappointed by this. Not good if you have dietary requirements and choices are even more limited. I feel the resort would rate much better if they invested more into their restaurant. Each night was a set menu, which is fine, but the food quality itself was poor. It didn't encourage you to stay for a few hours and purchase drinks. We quickly ate what we could and left.

    Boat and reception staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Villas tucked away and well spaced out for privacy. Free access to kayaks. Great for snorkelling, even in poor weather conditions. Many excursions on offer.

    The property is on a Island close to Mahe. But the resort operates complimentary boat service to Mahe and other Islands close by which is very useful for the guests. Both Prakash and Raju at the reception was very helpful in getting our delayed baggage and organizing trips. We would recommend this property if you are looking for a quiet and peaceful holiday in Seychelles.

    Wifi is not available anywhere but only at the reception. Food at the resort restaurant is really expensive and there's no food available after 11 pm. If you wanna order anything for your room, you pay 8 euros as a service charge. The boat shuttle is only available at certain hours and you can't miss that. The AC in our room wasn't strong enough. The turnaround service was poor.

    The resort is located on a beautiful island with a stunning view. The villas were beautiful and our villa had a partial sea view. There's a helipad at the resort and the view from there is mesmerizing. Our room had a fantastic African interior and looked beautiful. The Jacuzzi was fine as we got an upgrade as we arrived at the resort. The trees and nature within the resort is very beautiful and I've not seen something like this before. Prakash was our man as he made our lives easy throughout our stay in Seychelles. He arranged everything in advance and gave us great recommendations for activities, restaurants, islands, big or small trips, hikes, views, shopping, etc. He was very kind to give us early check-in and very late check-out as our flights were on very odd hours. So if you need anything in Seychelles, Prakash is your man! The rest of the staff is very friendly and accommodating.

    - Dinner. The service was exceptional, but food tasted blend and the choice was limited. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on breakfast as we didn't have time to finish it, but dinner definitely needs some improvement... Other than that, we wished we could have stayed there longer!

    - Exceptionally friendly and welcoming staff - Relaxing, laid back environment - Beautiful views from the restaurant - Charming villas (especially the bathrooms) - Spotless rooms - Complimentary use of kayaks (going to Moyenne is a must!)

    WiFi is available in the reception area, and just reaches some of the adjacent pool area. But no where else, including the rooms. No lounge / bar area for relaxing at any time, the “pool bar” area was soulless and unmanned. It had a pool table and looked over one of the swimming pools, but we never saw anyone use it, ourselves included. A lost opportunity perhaps??

    Quiet seclusion in a beautiful setting amongst the tropical trees, but only a few steps from the stunning beaches and clear seas. Complementary use of kayaks to explore the beaches and neighbouring islands was an added bonus. Dinner (with half board option) was a pleasant mature approach to dealing with a relatively small number of guests, with table service and a varied range of freshly prepared choices on the menu which changed each day. Pretty much everything, we extended our stay.
