Some minor issues: despite some previous reviews, there is no outside shower / foot washing tap in the garden (or at least we could not find it). This would be really useful, as public toilets/ showers/foot washing utilities are unknown on the beaches of Mahé Island (we have been to like 20, and none of them had any such facilities....though some have open-air fitness parks...) Some curtain would be useful and practical on the bathroom windows. So do insect-net on some of the doors/windows.

I have been travelling frequently and extensively for decades mainly for leasure purposes and stay mostly at airb&b and short term rental apartments. Surfers Beach Self Catering Apartments are among the best (out of the circa 25-30 apartments I have stayed so far worldwide), in all respect: location, comfort, kitchen, cleanliness, staff, layout, spaciness. Easy check-in, late check-out, helpful and always available owner, daily cleaning, great, open, widespread view on the Indian Ocean, 1 minute walk to the nearest beach (Anse Parnel), properly equipped kitchen (which really made real self catering feasible for us - we cooked dinner nearly every evening), shady big ocean facing terrace, Good location to explore the entire island - providing you rent a car. Airco and fans were highly efficient and silent. Surfers Beach is only 10 minutes drive from the - in my opinion - best 2 beaches on the Island. Would I return? Yes, definitely!

That I had to leave 🥹.

Great place to stay if you want to travel in an uncomplicated, spontaneous way. Richard, the owner is very welcoming and happy to help with any question on short notice. Rental car is recommended as you stay in the less busy south of Mahé.

Facilities and staff were great. Lovely cove like beach and mountainous jungle behind. Great value for money breakfasts and caring and attentive staff. Thank you all so much for looking after us.

Provide handrail and stairs, it was so hard to climb without handrail and stairs

Location was good

The place has a beautiful garden, relaxing views across the see, many birds singing and chirping , amazing views of the sky full of stars from the terrace. The chalets are very spacious for a family of 4 and very comfortable. Richard, the owner is great, friendly and helpful while being extremely discreet. They have an amazing restaurant on the beach, but I will review it separately. Having our breakfast and dinners there was a blessing. The beach is perfect, our entire family had a wonderful time there. Such an amazing time we had there! Definitely one of the best places in Mahe, highly recommended!

The beach directly in front of the apartment is super beautiful and the hosts are very welcoming and helpful. Amazing value for money, we'd definitely come back.

Excellent

The windows in the bathroom should be covered up for more privacy.

Quick check-in. Very flexible with our booking. Very quiet place, so you could enjoy the sound of the waves.

there was a strange, disagreable odor in the living (pet on visit before?) but bedroom was okay and thus, not a big problem

good location, spacious, close to restaurant on the beautiful beach

Can't really think of anything specific. Maybe one thing which is typical for any location in Seyshelles, wherever you stay - beware of small flies at night, try not to leave the windows wide open. Here at the Surfers' air-conditioning and fanning options allow that without disturbing your comfort.

All you need for a comfortable stay. Clean and cozy air-conditioned room, with a ceiling fan. Spacious bathroom with good lighting, hot water and strong water pressure in the shower (that's important! :D). Plus one more shower in a backyard, perfect after the sea. Kitchen has all you need to cook as much as you want. Super awesome WiFi connection allowed both of us to work full time. A lovely restaurant right across the road, wth amazing curry selection. The beach is like a minute walk. Birds singing, flying foxes chewing on mangos at night on a nearby tree :D Thank you, Lisa, for keeping our rooms nice and clean! Greeting to lovely cats, esp Blanco and Marbles

Nothing serious. The only thing that may be worth mentioning is that one of the external AC units was a bit noisy. Othertwise everything as described.

Very large, clean, nice and comfortable apartment 1 minute from the beach. It is equipped with everything needed to stay. Good location, close to a lot of attractions, but very quiet amd relaxing. Staff is very nice. A car is advised to stay here.

nothing.

Owners are very welcoming. This apartment is value for money. Beach and restaurant just across. Room kept clean. And of course the wonderful German shepherd by the beach :-)

Place is outdated. One or two of the curtain have tiny holes in them. Weird smell from the bathroom (went away after we used the shower)

Location was fantastic. Shops are within driving distance and the beach is right across from the hotel. It had everything we needed to self cater. Aircon was great. Bed was comfortable.
