Six Senses Zil Pasyon

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!

Difficult to know where to start. The room had a beautiful layout, sensational views, well equipped with Fridge, wine cooler, coffee machine and Ice maker, however it was showing its age, a little and needed attention soon. The beaches are not particularly inviting or impressive. There is basically one restaurant where you have breakfast lunch and dinner, save for the theme nights where the ocean restaurant opens. On one occasion for breakfast I ordered scrambled eggs on toast with Avocado, I was told the avocado wasn't freshly sliced but more of a Guacamole, I said no to the Avocado. along comes an inch thick slice of toast half covered with Guacamole the other in what I can only describe as half an egg scrambled, It was quite pathetic. I sent it back and was told the chef had been asked to make me a very large scrambled egg, all I wanted was a normal portion nothing else. Before dinner we had a drink in the bar, I ordered a Gin and Tonic, there was no tonic in the bar the guy had to run to the store room he brought back 2 bottles, what cocktail bar is not stocked with Tonic water?? Chopsticks night was a disaster at a cost of £150 per head for those on bed and breakfast it consisted of a limited 2 choice per course menu. we decided on the Lobster spring roll, which had exactly zero lobster in it, followed by the Rendang beef, It was so tough basically inedible . We complained to the staff and a discussion took place with the Executive chef who basically walked off and said nothing. To add insult I ordered a bottle of wine and the waitress who brought it over to the table had never opened a bottle of wine before, so I had to open it myself to save her from being embarrassed. After that evening we had room service 3 time which was good, but didn't envisage eating Pad Thai in my room for a week. The resort seemed totally understaffed with the exception of Marcus who worked the Pool, the bar and the restaurant nobody else there seemed to care in the slightest. I get the whole Six Senses theme, but this bordered on a complete lack of service and attention by everyone. We cut short our stay by a day , and went to the Constance Lemuria, totally different vibe but let me say the food the service and the attention was absolutely top class and very much welcomed. You just get the feeling that since the IHG takeover in 2019, too much emphasis is put on expansion and profits over good old customer service.

Having a brief trip to one of the most beautiful resort hotels in the world looked after by John the manager a delightful guy This is truly an immaculate resort hotel in paradise. Looking forward to our lunch in surroundings that could not be surpassed. I shall return here with my wife at the earliest opportunity

We came here in November and when we got home we told some friends what a fantastic place it was , we are currently on a cruise and we asked if we could call in to show our friends how nice it really is , they were so impressed by it that they will be booking a holiday very soon here . John the food and beverage manager was so very hospitable made us feel comfortable and really couldn't have been more obliging . Most definitely not my last visit here .

Everything was fantastic starting from the moment we were picked up to the time we were dropped. The service was fantastic and the food was even better- thanks to chef Maroof who took of our dietary requirements and made sure that I food still tasted the best. Our GEM- Garry also did a fantastic job in organising everything and making sure we get the most of our time in the resort.

What a wonderful & unforgettable place. Our villa was very beautiful with an amazing ocean view. All Services were very pleasant and professional. Food was excellent ,delicious and very healthy. A first class place. We would love to go back soon. We would like to say a big thank you to Mr Anil GEM from the reception for helping us out in many ways and tour guiding us everywhere,We are really grateful for the island experience.

Back from our first long vacation after retirement and just getting used to the East Coast winter. My wife has taken care of the rest of reviews and has left this one for me. What a task!. From the moment you arrive there it is a bizarre experience. Step down off the helicopter and you receive the coldest welcome, there there are some security dude, the boss and his dog. It actually felt like the set of a Narcos movie. Luckily we were whisked away to our villa. Our GEM wasn’t of the social type and took ages to respond to any request, the one who followed was not better either. Finally we got Cristian in reception who was very efficient until he disappeared too. The villa itself was ok, with scratched furniture, frayed curtains, leaking AC and hanging night lamps but with great views. Dave from housekeeping did a great daily job. Ironing it is not their forte though. I also wonder if they ever clean the pools, you can smell the chlorine from the main door but we collected leaves in the morning and we did the same in the afternoon. We enjoyed the outdoor space until we saw a rat confidently crossing the deck just in front of us. Don’t they have some kind of pest control in place?. As per activities, there is literally nothing to do in the island. No wonder they insist so much on taking the boat excursions, they have nothing to offer otherwise. The red flag is permanently up and you are advised to venture into the ocean at your own risk. Frankly speaking, our most enjoyable moments we spent at the bar and restaurant. Jon and Manoosh really took care of us. Awesome service and good-nature company. The food is first-rate too, flavoursome and with modern presentations. Our poached eggs were perfect every time!. Kudos to chef Josh for cooking off the menu options just for us. The only inconvenience at the restaurant was the untimely morning visits by the Austrian manager. He was obnoxious in conversation, scruffy in appearance and totally unprofessional by eating and drinking behind the bar in between deliverances of his boring mantra. What a disturbing figure. Bizarre really. In any case, we loved the Seychelles but we chose the wrong resort.
