    One thing that wasn’t great was general noise, of jet skis, music next door etc. And secondly the dinner times were very late for the children. An earlier start say at 6 pm would have been better. could perhaps do with some more water sorts like paddle boards, sailing lessons etc

    It was very close to the beach and family friendly.

    The soap in the bathrooms is not ecological, too much plastic that is then thrown away. A big recipient that is filled up with liquid soap would be better for the planet. Same thing for the plastic bottles of water.

    breakfast was very good, staff was extremely nice everywhere. Location was perfect.

    Rooms are dated with thin linen. No concierge service so I carried my bags to my room and back.

    Room was well appointed, I got a complimentary room upgrade. Beautiful views of the sea with a balcony. Massive breakfast spread with iced tea (I loved that). Right on the beach with shops and restaurants nearby. Great Wi-Fi which was always available, perfect if you’re working from Seychelles.

    Elevator is boiling hot, made out of glass and feels like a coffin. Beach and pool beds not available after about 11 in the morning. Prices from hotel for taxis and excursions are double than elsewhere. Sometimes breakfast was exposed to flies. Toilet had a foul smell. Sofa-bed was not very comfortable.

    Excellent beach, amazing sunset, very nice beds, lots of space, nurse available, many food options, very nice breakfast with plenty of choices. We were given a shower room on the last day to get ready for our flight.

    During my stay in coral stand, I had the pleasure of being served by an exceptional waiter named Praveen. Not only was his demeanor incredibly friendly and welcoming, but he also exceeded my expectations by providing me with phenomenal suggestions for places to visit and things to see during my stay on the island. However, it wasn't just the superb service of Praveen that made my stay memorable. The hotel manager, Ahmed, was also incredibly friendly and helpful. He offered me excellent recommendations for places to visit in Seychelles and even assisted me with transporting my luggage to my room upon arrival. I was truly impressed by the hospitality and kindness exhibited by both Ahmed and Praveen. Their warm and welcoming nature made me feel right at home in Seychelles. Praveen exemplifies hard work and ambition, and it was inspiring to witness his dedication to his job and customers. Additionally, I was astonished by his vast knowledge and enthusiasm he had for Seychelles. Overall, my experience was thoroughly enhanced by the exceptional service of both Ahmed and Praveen. Their helpfulness and friendliness were greatly appreciated, and they were the two key individuals that made my stay particularly pleasant

    Pool was only so-so, it was a bit small and screaming children were a little annoying. Wish there was more shaded seating in the afternoon, either beach or poolside.

    Room with a view was gorgeous, clean rooms. Liked the shaded beach area in the morning. Good poolside lunch. Sushi restaurant was good for dinner.

    Room cupboards are without doors.

    Located right on the Beau Vallon beach. Our superior ocean view room was somewhat like a suite room. Hotel is reasonably clean and it’s buffet breakfast is very good. It has an Indian restaurant- Mahek , which serves excellent food.

    I got so tired of there menu for breakfast it was such a terrible meal with same menu everyday and no option for food. The waiters have very bad attitude however the Chefs are nice but they repeated the breakfast menu everyday for 7days it was so tiring.

    I love the fact that it’s by the beach bank and it makes it so beautiful.
