Spa hotels in Mahe Island

In my humble opinion, Probably one of the best luxury resorts in the world. Since I have been to the Seychelles many times, I have heard about this resort much earlier. Recently, property was purchased by the Anantara resorts company, what additionally encouraged us to stay in this luxurious property for several days. The location of the hotel is one of the best in Seychelles - our villa No. 21 had an amazing view of the beach and the whole bay. The whole concept of this resort is based on providing guests with the best possible experience of their stay - the service is at the highest level. Our quest relations manager - Mathew - was amazing - that's how we had named the crab toy - the mascot we got for our kids as a present from Mathew!! We mention him with a big, broad smile on our face. Our host - butler of the Villa named Hana - was wonderful and very helpful person who fulfilled all our wishes and dreams. A very strong point of the resort is the main restaurant and its extremely talented chef - I have not yet met a person who can prepare dishes of various completely traditional world cuisines - Asian / Italian / Mediterranean / Indian. It is a place to which we will certainly come back in the near future.

In general, there is a favourable impression of the trip. From the main advantages I would point out: 1. 24-hour lobby with friendly staff. Friendly and responsive, easy to solve our questions. 2. Excellent rooms. They are just very comfortable, quite modern, neat. Cleaning is thorough, except control of cleanliness/replacement towels in the evening. Due to trees and bushes, a high degree of privacy if not the first line. If the first, from the sea is partially viewed. 3. Good enough food. Products are very good and fresh, kitchen is very hard. Not always gets good, as many dishes from European kitchen, and there is not much experience, however the manager and all staff are trying. 4. Price. Price ratio quality is one of the best on the island. It costs each dollar. 5. Good beach. There are also medium waves and style. Water is clean and transparent. Swimming small skates, not dangerous. Swimming dolphins and turtles. 6. There are almost no strangers, only holiday hotels. So very quiet and comfortable. There is almost no one on the beach even in the season. Now about the weaknesses. 1. Very small territory. That is, it is two narrow alleys that go along the rooms and the area near the bar / pool. That is, there are no playgrounds for children and sports. With two children it was critical. 2. Without a car there is no place to go for a walk. There is nothing interesting next door. 3. Slow waitresses at the bar. Some are just a nightmare. Example: ordered a fruit plate for children. The kitchen made, brought, put on the bar. There are 2 waitresses next to it. It stands a plate. 10 minutes she stood next to them, they talked. I spotted the hours, exactly 10 minutes! And so very often. Bar, restaurant, work fast. But the waitresses are declining these efforts. Output. For unspeeded lonely romantic rest in two, the place is excellent. For a family with children or group of young people more 2-3 days boring.

The Four Seasons Resort is as good as ever and I am very satisfied. Rustom at the front desk is kind, enthusiastic and understanding, and Angela, Sharon and Tracy at the lakeside restaurant are affable and smart. When I went to have lunch, the restaurant was empty. Angela and Sharon told me seriously that they were sorry, but the restaurant was closed and would reopen next year. I was a little confused. It didn’t look like it. The front desk told me that there was lunch, and the Buggy driver When they took me to the restaurant, they didn't say it was closed. The two beauties continued to fool me and said, ”They don't know very well.” When I was doubtful, they finally laughed and said, ”we're just kidding you,” and then took a seat and ordered. The meal was very delicious. It should be the most satisfying dish I have eaten in the Seychelles. It was a very interesting and great experience. When I checked out, I saw that the lunch was not charged, so I specifically reminded Rustom, and he told me it was free. It was a very interesting experience. The design of the villa is beyond words, it reflects the standard of Four Seasons. Although it is not cheap, it is worth the money.

For the low cost-performance Seychelles, the hotel facilities are OK, but the service is average. The Asian-looking front desk staff is cold. We arrived at 2pm, very tired, but the staff kept emphasizing that the hotel stipulates that check-in is only possible at 3pm, and there is no room for negotiation.

There is some sea**** floating in the sea water, I wonder if it is seasonal. Everything else is fine. The service staff were very friendly. According to the regulations, check-in can only be done at 2 o'clock. We were first given a rest room, and then we were able to check in after it was cleaned after 1 o'clock. Beautiful environment, suitable for vacation.

Disappointing Stay Despite a Promising Start – L’Escale Resort Marina & Spa, Seychelles. We stayed at L’Escale Resort over Easter, hoping to create special family memories. Upon arrival, the experience began on a positive note—check-in was smooth, and the reception staff were friendly and helpful. The resort itself has an elegant, modern design and initially gave off the impression of a true luxury getaway. We paid USD 8382 (plus 600 for extra bed) for 6 nights. However, things quickly took a turn once we entered our room. The lighting control panel was partially broken—only one of the three panels worked. Several lights didn’t function at all, and a power socket panel was damaged. While the rest of the room looked clean and comfortable, these maintenance issues were disappointing for a resort of this caliber. The following morning, we encountered more problems. Our key card suddenly stopped working after breakfast. We were told this might be because it had been near a phone, which seems like a weak excuse for what is likely a system issue. Unfortunately, this was only the beginning of our frustrations with hotel service and infrastructure Disappointing Stay Despite a Promising Start – L’Escale Resort Marina & Spa, Seychelles We stayed at L’Escale Resort over Easter, hoping to create special family memories.

Unfortunately, this was only the beginning of our frustrations with hotel service and infrastructure. Calling the reception from our room rarely worked—no one answered, and even leaving a message led to nothing. I had to physically walk to the front desk just to place a room service order. After being assured the food was “coming in a few seconds,” we ended up waiting 90 minutes for just four Caesar salads and one spaghetti Bolognese. For a 5-star resort, this level of delay is simply unacceptable. Overall, while L’Escale Resort looks beautiful and has the potential to be an excellent luxury destination, it’s let down by poor maintenance, weak systems, and extremely slow service. Sadly, what started as a promising family holiday turned into a frustrating experience. Calling the reception from our room rarely worked—no one answered, and even leaving a message led to nothing.

There is a marina next to the hotel, the rooms are clean and tidy, and room service is in place. Breakfast is a buffet. The type is the buffet of a general five-star international restaurant. It can only be said that there is no change.

The environment is amazing, you can go swimming in the beach when you go down. You can still see the little devil fish. Very nice
