Hotel Pantai di Seychelles

Our experience at Constance Ephelia was memorable! The property is huge with access to 2 main beaches (south beach & north beach) depending on the time of the year south beach is unsafe to swim but North Beach is safe all year around. Additionally there are many hidden beaches along the coastline for ultimate privacy. Property is sits within the national park so you really feel part of the nature with many nature trails for hiking as well as kayaking through the mangroves, rock climbing and zip lining within the property itself. Their spa is probably one of the biggest and best we’ve experienced in the Indian ocean. The property is very picturesque, with many spots all around for photos opportunities. The staff will really go out their way to make you feel at home and ensure your dietary requirements are taken care off. They also have an on-site dive centre for additional cost but many other water activities included as part of your stay. We would highly recommend this resort to anyone travelling to Mahé island, Seychelles.

This is a luxury hotel well placed on the island of an island. There is no bad view. You are well located for shops, entertainment and bus routes. Good food and good service round up an offering with all amenities and services one would need to have a relaxing or business break.

Beautiful location, fantastic food and great people. Mayuri, a butler and waiter was the best! He make us feel so special. We loved the resort, amazing views from the oceanfront villa and gorgeous beach. We recommend the food package. Food and service were spectacular! Enjoyed the sunset having a glass of champagne or beer playing cards on our deck. In the morning watching the sand sharks chasing octopus and small fish from the deck with coffee. The hotel is near the best beach on the big island ( 5 minutes away), but honestly the hotel’s beach is the prettiest and best to us on the island. We rented a car for the week, about the same cost as shuttle or taxis service back and forth to the airport. As a tip, if you want alcoholic beverages, buy wine, champagne and beer at duty free in the airport. Alcohol is expensive in Seychelles.

It was a very beautiful small isle in the middle of a marine park. The marine life seem to have suffered a bit from el nino, but it was still lots of life in the waters, but the corrals did not thrive. The isle did not have excessive wildlife due the small size and rather high density of infrastructure, however the nature still was close. As for the facilities we found that the restaurant and reception area to be enchanting with a very nice view of the sea and nearby isles. The furnishings were tasteful and elegant fitting for the Seychelles and creole culture. The boat transfer to the isle was good and the ”limitations in free fares” did not feel limiting due to the generous and flexible fares available. The villa we stayed in was over all very good. There was some details that could have a better finish such as the pool lister, pool exterior, drying possibilities, etc . We did not appreciate the out door toilet though, due to the ground frequently got wet (no matter how much we tried to dry it), and the high humidity dampened the toilet paper. Luckily we did not have any issues with mosquitos, however if the season was not as it was they may make the outdoor shower and toilet more sufferable. Also the small garden near the toilet was muddy and not to pleasant to walk upon when arriving from the beach wanting to clean out feet. The garden could over all be better maintained (but not excessively due to it would be a shame removing the natural feeling). Indoor there was not much negative to comment on, but for future purposes maybe you should install usb outlets or similar to make it easier for international costumers. The food was overall good comparing to our other stays in the Seychelles, and deaccent compared to our normal preferences. The fish dishes was the most refined, but also these could be further improved by consistency in texture. The burger paddy was ok, but did taste a bit like a prefab paddy of higher class. The portion sizes was to large if you wanted to eat more than one dish, it would be nice if they tried to adapt more to the entirety of the dining experience. Also the breakfast felt a bit directed, note that some people do not eat fat or salty foods during the morning, hence to start/to end should be more like lighter foods/ brunch dishes.

The hotel has several good, not great, features. It’s on a beautiful piece of land, the staff is sweet and occasionally helpful, and the WiFi works most of the time but it’s very weak and slow. There’s one English news station on the TV, the AC works decently (though it is not strong) and it was clean. Also, parking was easy out front of the hotel. The hotel has several bad aspects. First and most obvious, it doesn’t live up to its title as resort or spa. There is a small and nice pool. There is a fitness center. There is a room for massage treatments. There’s one restaurant, and it’s average, and there is a bar. And of course there is a beach. And that’s it. This is not a resort. It is not a spa. But the hotel claims to be a resort in its ads. The staff were just not very welcoming. Checkin was slow and confused. The room was hot. The bed was uncomfortable. The shower water pressure was weak. The room was way, way overpriced (even for Seychelles which is very expensive). There was zero benefit or recognition for Hilton Honors status (I’m a Diamond member). Other than offering a bottle of water, there was no benefit and no recognition. It was really stunning. No extra points. No lounge or happy hour. No upgrade. I stayed at a Hilton because that usually improves the experience. The staff was sweet and polite (if not very helpful), but the management was aloof, dismissive, and rude. I tried to leave the hotel early, even offering to leave after the icey and confused checkin, and I was told I’d be charged if I left. That made it clear. This hotel is simply an investment for its owners and investors. The owners have done as little as possible to charge as much as possible. When the guest notices failings, management become confrontational. The front office management [Rania Asba, Front Office & Quality Manager] simply stormed away when she (after arguing for 20-30 minutes) couldn’t address the many issues. She was confused and became confrontational, which was very uncomfortable. I wanted to leave and was told I would still be charged. Management alternated between confrontational and confused, mostly confused, and only became confrontational when called on their confusion. The front office manager became indignant when confronted on the low quality, poor checkin, bad room, and many issues of low quality. On the few times she did engage, she was condescending, insecure, and dismissive. There are many nice places in Seychelles, and I will definitely be back to Seychelles, but I definitely won’t stay here again. I paid for a resort and got a basic three star hotel in a nice location. I would have paid less and had a much better experience in many of the two star hotels I visited (like Anse Soleil Beachcomber) that were far nicer and relaxing without claiming to be a resort. I would have even paid less at Hotel Savoy, a five star hotel at Beau Vallon Beach, which as a guest treated me far better than anyone at Doubletree. At the Doubletree, y

Honestly, this experience was one of a kind! Although the arrival was surreal via our private Helicopter ride; yet, something was missing during my stay! You’ll understand soon. The resort is lovely and not old enough, around seven years ago, and located on a very awesome Island called Felicity. Most of the staff are newly recruited, and honestly, most of them are the kindest people. However, I read the news later on and discovered what happened on that island a few months ago, and that was horrible!! Then I knew what it was missing: just a touch of renovation to revive the place, maybe new designs, events, food, etc. Otherwise, I would say that I had a below-normal experience in my first Six Senses Chain experience, especially since the previous resot was Anantara Maia, which was an unforgettable one. Finally, the Spa experience was the only activity I recommend, and it was entertaining and energetic. I appreciate your understanding. I hope that my reviews will help you to choose the right place!

Have you ever eaten something that was missing something? Maybe an ingredient was substituted and you could tell something was not just right? Well this hotel is one of those. The property grounds are very well groomed. The buildings are constructed immaculately. The infrastructure is very well done and beautiful. The delivery of the product is just not up to what it should be for this expensive of hotel. We stayed here twice. On arrival and departure from Mahe to Nairobi. On the first visit, we arrived around 5 PM or after. It took an hour to get checked in to the hotel. Keep in mind that the checkout time is 10 AM at this hotel. So they had plenty of time to prepare the room for us. I am a lifetime diamond status with HIlton and they have my credit card on file and know how to charge it quite quickly. They know me well over the years. So that should not be a reason why it took so long to get us checked in. Granted it was a Friday evening check in so probably the B team was on staff. Maybe they had not been trained in how to run the computers as well as the daytime staff. So in advance of our second visit, I asked them if they could check us in a little faster than the previous visit. They were able to do it quicker this time at 2 PM (2 pm is normal check in starting time) but after an hour of in our room, I had to call to have our bags delivered. There was still plenty of beach time to be had. During the room orientation, I asked for a 2nd bed or have the pull out sofa bed fitted with sheets. The person said they would deliver a bed. I waited till 9 PM for them to deliver the bed. I ended up having to inquire about the bed but the person on the other line was a little confused on what I was asking for. Eventually 2 people showed up with sheets to put on the pull out bed. I guess they had changed their mind on delivering a bed. I realize that my expectations out of the Mango House maybe a little high after staying a week at the Four Seasons Desroches Island complex which was exceptional in all ways. So I kind of felt like I was staying at a poorly run Hampton Inn. In fact, I have had better service at a Hampton Inn in many cities. So even though this hotel has a really nice infrastructure, they have a long way to go to be at the level of a Four Seasons hotel as far as service goes.

With a stay at East Horizon Self-Catering in Mahé Island, you'll be near the beach, just a 5-minute walk from Anse Aux Pins Beach and 11 minutes by foot from La Plaine St. Andre.

Conveniences include phones, as well as safes and desks.

When I arrived at the hotel I couldn’t find a door that was open so I knocked and still got no response. Finally I called and the owner told me to wait and he would be there in 15 minutes. I do not think my phone called him again as it did not show any signs of a call, but he called me back. He yelled, “I told you I’d be there in 15 minutes! Just wait.” I responded that I understood, that I hadn’t intended to call him, and I will wait. He is very rude! The hotel is very small. It is fairly clean. I’d say the one thing it has going for it is that almost everything is the same color blue, and it looks pretty good. The bed was very hard, and very uncomfortable. The bathroom is bigger and roomier than the bedroom, and I had trouble finding the light switch, (it’s in the hall by the bed). They bragged about the morning meal, but it starts very early and you have to get there early, and it’s very small. I would say overall this is a very unpleasant place to stay. I got very little sleep.
