Easy to communicate, easy to search for places. Highly recommended.

Holiday on the Seychelles
We liked the nature, the food and the people. We didn't like the masses of tourists and we think that restaurant prices are too high for the food and service offered. It just doesn't make sense: those places are empty and if the takeaway is able to offer you an octopus curry for 100, in the restaurant it should cost no more than 200, but certainly not 400! Ingredients are mostly local, si that's one thing to think about.
Saria Self Catering (Praslin)Saria self-catering exceeded our expectations. Our hosts were super friendly. They organised the transfer from the harbour, gave us fresh fruit from their garden and helped us in many ways. The place is very well kept and was cleaned everyday! Way more than what we expected from a s/c apartment. We can only recommend it to anyone!

Holiday on the Seychelles
Seychelles in my favorite destination. I live on Eden Island during winter time in Europe
Cerf Island Resort (Cerf Island)Very good place for vacation. Very friendly staff. Close to Mahe Island with very good communication with the main island. Large villas with colonial style. Good food. Possibility of many activities.

I would highly recommend SeyVillas to anyone looking for a stress-free and memorable vacation experience in Seychelles.

Holiday on the Seychelles
Time will stop in Seychelles - the natural beauty, rich culture, and welcoming people make for a truly unforgettable experience!
Bougainvillas Seychelles (Mahé)If you're looking for accommodation that genuinely feels like a home away from home, look no further than this gem of a property!
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the warmest welcome from the owners, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and memorable.
The property itself was stunning, very spacious and spotlessly clean (we can't stress this enough), providing the perfect space to relax and unwind after a long day exploring the beach and other local attractions. The view and the sunrise from the windows were simply breathtaking and we enjoyed bird songs and the sun every morning from the terrace. The delicious and generous breakfast offered something a little different every morning - freshly baked eggs, delicious local fruits and jams, and a variety of other mouth-watering treats were all included, making for a wonderful start to each day.
We would highly recommend Bougainvillas to anyone looking for a comfortable, quiet, and welcoming place to stay. We had an amazing time at Bougainvillas and we look forward to staying there again in the future. We wish you all the best! ❤️
Yes, you'll need a car to get to the property comfortably, but in general, we suggest renting a car in Mahe no matter where you stay to be able to see all the beautiful places at your own pace.

Holiday on the Seychelles
Beautiful country, we have wonderful experiences and we will definitely come back here in the future.
Ixora Villa (Mahé)We were absolutely satisfied at Ixora Villa.
The owners - Antoine and Silvianne - were very nice people, extremely helpful and friendly, they significantly contributed to our satisfaction with our stay at Ixora Villa.
The villa was comfortable, convenient, clean and pleasant.
Rating: we give them 11 out of 10 points.
(I'm not kidding, totally serious).
I recommend it to other visitors.Villa Gazebo (Mahé)Villa Gazebo was of a very high standard, almost luxuriously furnished, in a perfect location, spacious and comfortable.
Disadvantages:
- there was no hot water (except for one bathroom),
- cleaning was insufficient,
- the gardeners and the cleaner often disturbed us during our rest and violated our privacy,
- the cleaning woman always shuffled our personal belongings, and we perceived this as a serious violation of our privacy,
- the pool was dirty.
- the cleaning woman and the woman who lived in another house on the property bothered us with their visits.
Rating:
we give 7 out of 10 points.
The price of accommodation was high due to the shortcomings.
We would not choose Villa Gazebo for a stay in the future.

Holiday on the Seychelles
Seychelles is a beautiful country but do not expect Europe - you are in Africa and the service in restaurants, etc. is much different from what you are probably used to. The environment is clean in most places and if you plan well ahead you will also find places where you can experience good but expensive food. We now went there twice and I would strongly recommend visiting La Digue which is much different in comparison to Mahe and Praslin - Island hopping is easy and if you are not scared by the price, I would also recommend flying to Praslin instead of taking the ferry (depending on the season it could be rough).
Le Repaire Boutique Hotel (La Digue)The location is excellent and the restaurant is by far the best one on La Digue island. You will need to reserve a table for sure or order food for takeaway. Although the staff is friendly, the hotel is clean and the food is excellent, I would probably stay at a more quiet place next time - due to the popularity, it gets crowded and you hear people outside your room starting at 6 am until 11 pm. Overall, it is absolutely one of the best places to eat and stay during La Digue - just make sure your room does not face the restaurant area. The pizza is probably the best one you have eaten in your life.

Amiable and helpful personnel. Our initial flights got canceled, but we handled it via Seyvillas and got to the destination and back as intended. Considering all the stress and management that is involved in vacation planning, especially for Seychelles traveling, Seyvillas definitely helped us big time so that we could just focus on the vacation instead. Recommended, definitely worth the extra few bucks.

Holiday on the Seychelles
A paradise on Earth. The best vacation we've had in years. Gorgeous country, filled with helpful and friendly people and spectacular sightings. Definitely not cheap, but also definitely worth the cost.
Acquario Villa (Praslin)We've started our vacation here and it was the best thing that could've happened to us. Nora (the manager) is a lovely and kind person who welcomed us to the island with a big heart and a lot of helpful tips and arrangements. Perfect location by the Cote D'Or with a house amongst the granite rocks, palms, and trees, so you get to be with Seychelles' wildlife. The rooms were always pristinely clean, and Nora really makes you feel at home right away. The best stay in Seychelles overall.
Chateau Saint Cloud (La Digue)A beautiful hotel in the heart of La Digue. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the rooms are super clean and tidy, the breakfast is delicious and with a bike, you can reach any place in La Digue very quickly and easily from the hotel.
Grann Kaz (Mahé)A beautiful clean guesthouse with very welcoming and helpful staff. The breakfast and the dinner are delicious, the rooms are always clean and spacious with a large kitchen as well. The staff is very helpful with tips and tricks but also getting a car hire easily and straight from the place. You definitely need a car as most of the best places on Mahe are not located nearby. Overall a wonderful stay.
Transfer
This was a huge help when transiting across the island, but also inside of the islands as well. The staff was extremely punctual (the delays only happened when we were waiting for other (slow) customers to board the transfer), very helpful and kind, and got us to the places we needed to be always in time. A huge stress relief.

Food quality in some restaurants was a disappointment. Generally extremely high prices.Ocean Villa (Praslin)Very nice and comfortable villa. Well kept property with direct access to the beach. Nice hosts that helped us with practicularities during our stay, i.e taxi booking, or actitivites. The villa was neatly cleaned every day. We loved it! Highly recommended.

The total trip including the transfers was perfectly orgonised. not 1 failure. a relaxing holiday with a lot of things which can be explored by yourself. like hinking, boat trips, diving, cycling. We never hired a car but traveled by bus, but it's optional.

Holiday on the Seychelles
A relaxing holiday with a lot of things which can be explored by yourself. like hiking, boat trips, diving, cycling. We didn't hire a car but traveled by bus, but it's optional. nice beaches and warm water ( 26 degrees. lot of tropical fruits. small shops. food is quite expensive but this makes sence if it all needs to be imported.
Acquario Villa (Praslin)Close to the beach and the dive shop. Close to the bus stop. A lot of privacy. The manager can prepare some nice grilled fish for you. Walking distance of restaurants en foodshops. TV and a small kitchen
Bernique Guesthouse (La Digue)spacious room, nice place close to the foodshops and bakery. very good breakfast. easy to reach with a bike
Lemongrass Lodge (Mahé)up the hill, quite steep if you want to walk ( 31%), 300 mtr from the beach. kitchen and large rooms with seperate shower. depending on other quest it can be very relaxing. 1.8 km away from the supermarket. 400 mtr away from a diving centre.
Transfer
all went perfect. a relaxing holiday.

Holiday on the Seychelles
Behulpzame mensen, lekker eten en goed voor een afwisselende vakantie.
The Beach House (Mahé)Super lieve gastvrouw en personeel! Kamer zag er goed uit op een fijne locatie. Hebben bij geen enkel restaurant meer zo lekker gegeten als bij hen.
Beach Villa Guesthouse (Praslin)Heel fijn verblijf gehad, gezellige eigenaren. Excursie via hen naar Curieuse ook zeker een aanrader.
Belle des Iles Guest House (La Digue)Grote kamer met buitenkeuken. Fijn verblijf gehad midden in de natuur!
Cerf Island Resort (Cerf Island)Superfijn verblijf gehad. Eigenlijk wat te kort, maar langer liet het budget helaas niet toe. Hebben wel ongevraagd een gratis upgrade van de kamer gehad, hebben we zeer gewaardeerd! We hebben deze dagen in een droom geleefd. Service was perfect, leuk ook dat er kayaks zijn die gewoon gepakt kunnen worden. Houd er alleen rekening mee dat full board niet voor drinken geldt, dat moet gewoon afgerekend worden.
Transfer
Goed geregeld en gecommuniceerd. Lekker airco aanwezig in alle bussen en geen enkele keer te laat.

Holiday on the Seychelles
Very good beaches and sea. The weather in August is not so cool (very cloudy and strong wind, thus We were able to visit only some beaches) but is also true that every season has their own treats. The prices are very high everywere (higher than the average of european cities). Even takeaways were super expensive (15/20€ for a very poor meal basically composed by rice, few meat and vegetables). Full of families and couples…if you are looking for something after 9pm you will be disappointed (everything is closed by that time). Overall I have enjoyed the trip but for sure i will no come back.
Bliss Hotel (Mahé)The best hotel of our trip. Private beach, pool and rooms are amazing. Internet very poor considering that you are paying over 200€ per night. The buffet in the barefoot restaurants is really expensive (more than 50€ Per person) and very poor in variety and quantity.
Berjaya Praslin Resort (Praslin)Room was ok but not worthing the price. Even if the hotel was full there were nobody around (no music in the pool and no active pool bar for sure doesn’t help). Terribile internet wich is unaxceptable considering the price
Anse Severe Beach Villa (La Digue)We stayed in Villa Petit and it was amazing. Very comfortable, in front of the sea and very close to city centre. Outside there are always two huge turtles.

We have no complaints at all - the process was easy and the team at Seyvillas put together the pieces of our holiday jigsaw - dates / flights / accommodations / transfers all according to our budget. Not a complaint but a suggestion maybe - I did all my own legwork on which side of the islands to stay on (according to the time of year and wishing to avoid sea weed and find sheltered waters).

Holiday on the Seychelles
This was our first visit to the Seychelles but we are captivated - the beaches, the ocean and the relaxed atmosphere there plus the friendliest warmest people - make it a perfect destination for a proper holiday. There is much to do, so if you like adventure that is there for you - but it is also brilliant for just relaxing and enjoying some down time.
Cote d'Or Footprints (Praslin)Cote DÓr Footprints could not be more perfect - we started our holiday here and the welcome from Annia made us feel like we had landed in heaven. Beautiful spacious clean accommodation in the best location. Close to restaurants and supermarket. Apartments have everything you would need. Excellent recommendations from Annia where to eat and places to visit - THANK YOU!!
Etoile Labrine (La Digue)Lovely clean rooms. The location is set away from the main resort of La Passe but with bikes it was easy to reach - and fun to cycle around. Easy to walk to the Source D'Argent beach which was an absolute highlight of our trip. Breakfasts were amazing every day with kind and friendly service - no-one would go hungry here! Fruit and vegetables are all grown in the gardens here - our of this world! Whilst this accommodation is not the most modern it has a charm and authentic feel to it - and the welcome from the owner with drinks was wonderful!
Sables d'Or (Mahé)We stayed in the new modern apartments here and they are superb! Gorgeous decor and style and you have everything you need in the apartment. Good restaurant choice and supermarkets near by and fabulous location for the gorgeous beau vallon beach.
Transfer
It was good to have all of the transfers booked to fit with the accommodation. Sometimes it felt a little chaotic at the jettys but that was all part and parcel of the experience and the fun - and it all worked! During July the crossing between Praslin and Mahe is VERY choppy - worth knowing this in advance and if you suffer from sea sickness at all book for the top deck. It is absolutely worth it for this hours journey. All of the minibus transfers were very punctual and smooth.

Holiday on the Seychelles
What God created there is still amazingly beautiful ...we feel spoiled by all the beauty ....the colors , the smells , the tastes ...the beaches , the water , the vegetation/ the flowers ......the sea life ....it is a true paradise.
What man created there is not so good .....full of greed/ too many lazy people ....the infrastructure is bad , the island is dirty ,....and we felt robbed many time with excessive prices on food and drinks .....to many stray dogs , rubble lying around.....poor to no wifi .
If it weren't for the international companies running the resorts ....not much will happen there.Berjaya Praslin Resort (Praslin)I guess ok ....Food and Beverage Manager Mr Subhadeep Tapader is a great asset to the resort ...he works long hours ...is always available to go the extra mile for the guest ...he can organize quickly and effectively.....good appearance and personality.
Please change your baths to showers. Showering in a bath with a curtain [ not even a glass partitian ] in a so called "luxury room'' does not create a good impression in 2022 .
Please sort out your Wifi ...Fast and good Wifi is essential in 2022 !!! Why are there always 10 to 15 clients in your foyer ?...because that is the only place where the wifi is working to a certain extent.
Your staff is friendly and helpfull , breakfast is good ....just sort out your wifi and your showers .

Holiday on the Seychelles
All the people was so nice and helpful, the environment was stunning, we felt safe all the time, even at night time and there were no dangerous animals or crime or anything bad.
Fisherman's Cove Resort (Mahé)A luxury resort with high service from the staff. High standard of cleaning and always happy and friendly staff. Stunning view, perfect by the beach, great pool area and nice rooms with garden.
The only thing we can complaint about is the price of the restaurants and bar at the resort. Too expensive for what you get and there were many other cheaper and better options near and in other hotel areas.

Holiday on the Seychelles
Beautiful dreamy islands with plenty of activities and places to visit. The people are very friendly and the food is fantastic.
Le Relax Beach House (La Digue)Le Relax Beach House is very good located near the town centre, the harbour and 10 min walk to L'Union State, in which there is the wonderful beach Anse Source d'Argent. The hotel room and restaurant are very clean and the staff is really friendly, polite and helpful.
Bliss Hotel (Mahé)Bliss Hotel is a fantastic accommodation, where you can enjoy a spectacular view of the sunset over Silhouette island. The two restaurants offer a great variety of meals, including creole dishes, all of them fresh and very tasty. The hotel and restaurant staff are very nice, dedicated and professional.

All went well with the transfer services, the drivers and local agents were very punctual, polite and professional.

We used SeyVillas primarily for their large choice of accommodation options and better prices than Booking.com. Most accommodations we looked at don’t offer a direct booking option.
4 stars as the booking process wasn’t simply adding credit card details and done, but required emails back and forth + a bank transfer. Also we were charged a small and unexpected fee for making more than one booking with them, as that turned it into a package holiday or smth like that. I’d expect a discount if I make more than one booking, not an extra fee.-
Holiday on the Seychelles
It’s exactly as amazing as you expect it to be. We highly recommend La Digue especially. The magnificent beaches and the lack of cars (almost none) makes it to a small paradise.
Le Surmer (La Digue)We were very well taken care of by Brigitte and her team. Very personal service, which made it an uncomplicated pleasure to be there.
The villas were spacious and well maintained. The layout of the villas with surrounding green gave a park feeling.
The location was really good: they had a private beach with unblocked view of the setting sun behind Praslin, it took 5 bike mins to the nicest restaurants, 10 to the ferry and only 2 mins to the entry of the park with Anse d’Argent, one of the most amazing beaches of La Digue. The other amazing beach range, starting with Grand Anse, was reached in 20 bike mins. Bikes were available directly from the villa. Don’t expect well maintained European bikes, neither here nor anywhere else on the island.Surf Tropical Villa (Takamaka Beach Villas) (Cerf Island)On Cerf Island there are no roads or shops. This makes you heavily dependent on the few hotels that there are. Surf villa was serviced by Hotel l’Habitacion, which was a nice hotel with friendly and caring staff. We would recommend booking a room in the hotel or one of their suites, instead of the villas that are further down the beach (~10 min walk). The hotel provides for free kayaks which is a great way to explore the island! There is also one trail nearby which crosses the island. The start is hidden behind some houses and not sign posted.

Seyvillas are absolute pleasures to deal with. Five star all the way.
Excellent communication, fast and effective response, whatever questions i had during booking process, were answered promptly and in full.
We stayed on 3 islands, hence loads of transfers:big planes, small planes, ferries, boats, taxis, you name it, and all was organised and timed to perfection.
At each transfer point we were met and greeted by the local agent and moved to the next location of our journey without any hassle or delay.
We definitely will come back to Seychelles again and we definitely will book with Seyvillas.
Thank you????-
Holiday on the Seychelles
Seyshelles stole my heart forever.
Such a beautiful country, so warm and welcoming.
Local people are very nice, they are helpful and attentive, but not intrusive at all.
And of course, the scenery will take you breath away, I've been to few different countries, but Seyshelles is the one where EVERY picture you take looks like a postcard!
April looks like perfect time to go, out of 12 nites we had 2 thunderstorms, and other days were perfect, no scorching heat, temperature +27/+30, not windy. Hope to be back in near future!Patatran Village Hotel (La Digue)Beautiful small hotel, located couple of kilometres away from the main town/jetty. Not far to walk, if needed, taxi available on request(organised by hotel/separate fee to taxi driver).
Very clean and well looked after.
Each accommodation is a separate little house with balcony, so each guest has comple privacy from others.
The only note is , that most accommodations are located on a side of the hill, and to get to some of them there are few quite steep steps. No problem if you fit and healthy, but would be difficult for someone with mobility issues.
Loved every minute there. Amazing staff, very friendly and helpful.
Will stay again if ever back in La Digue, thank you????Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa (Silhouette Island)Hilton Labriz on Silhouette is really a part of paradise I didn't want to leave.
Located on the most picturesque stretch of white sand beach, mostly deserted, as, for some reason, most guests prefer to stay around pool area in the hotel. Ocean is full of colorfull fish, just couple of meters away from the shore.
Outstanding service and facilities. Villas are very spacious. Amazing staff goes out of their way to deal with all queries.
Wish to be back soon!Le Nautique is a perfect spot to stay. Excellent bungalows with seaview, equipped with everything possibly needed . We only stayed for 2 days, so didn't get a chance to use all the facilities, there are water sport equipment to use free of charge, barbecue area.
Very friendly and helpful staff, we needed to rent a car at short notice and it was organised by girls and delivered to apartment for us.
Special mention about the cleanliness of that place, they bring it to a completely new level. A member of staff was constantly on the go cleaning something non stop.
Thank you????
Definitely will stay again when back to Mahe.

We are completely satisfied with the service from SeyVillas before and during our visit to Seychelles. All questions were answered promptly and in fluent English, even during weekends. All documents were delivered timely and ready to use. This being the accommodation vouchers and transfer vouchers etc. We chose to let SeyVillas handle our flights too and this was done with no trouble at all, even when we preferred to have another flight than the one suggested at their website. It should be mentioned, that all our three destinations suggested by SeyVillas fully lived up to expectations. We went with the cheaper options but standards were still high.

Holiday on the Seychelles
The Seychelles and the people of Seychelles are both fantastic. We had a 3 island package and all three islands - Mahe, La Digue and Praslin - are highly recommendable, although very different. La Digue should be made entirely on bicycles to explore nature. On Mahe, on the contrary, a car would be recommended as buses are not in good shape and are often driven way too fast. But they’re cheap.
All in all, we met almost nothing but friendly and helpful people on all three islands. Several times we were helped spontaneously. It’s in their nature.
Food is as you pay for, but in general not expensive compared to Danish standards. We had the impression that they have good hygienic standards and never had trouble with our stomach during the trip.
We took a half day trip to Curieuse island, saw the giant tortoise and had a great barbecue, made by the locals. All worth the money.
On all three islands, places that seem out of this world in beauty can be found. This is where postcards cannot live up to reality. But of course Seychelles also has its less beautiful places.Berjaya Praslin Resort (Praslin)The Berjaya Praslin Resort has all you can expect for the price including good, varied breakfast, a small pool and a beautiful garden. Staff is extremely helpful and rooms are clean and tidied on a daily basis. The beach nearby is awesome and children friendly. Just around the corner you will find a Supermarket with most things needed. Also some fine restaurants in the vicinity. Buses run just behind the resort and they are very cheap.
We took a trip to the nearby Curieuse island with the locals, to see the giant tortoise, and it was totally worth the money.
Highly recommended.Tannette's Villa (La Digue)Tanette and her Villa is simply a nice and cozy place. She serves a great breakfast with plenty of fresh fruit and you can use the kitchen with cutlery and the like to cook your own dinner. Rooms are fine with aircon and tidied regularly. Since the beach is a couple of hundred meters away, you should use her bicycles for getting around. In fact you can get around the whole island on bicycle. Nothing is far away. Tanette herself is almost always around to help and she will even tell you, if she goes away for a couple of hours! I hurt my toe and she provided me with anti-bacterial cream.
We have only good memories from her place.Julie's Holiday Home (Mahé)Julie’s Holiday Home with Julie (mama) and husband (papa) around. We never experienced such engaged hosts. They made lemongrass tea for us, had us taste the local Rum, took us to Eden Island and provided us with a wealth of useful information. One evening our host made the most delicious fish meat dinner for us. Perhaps the best meal on the whole trip and completely free of charge.
Our room was big and clean and the bathroom was huge. Nothing is missing in the kitchen which you can use as you please. Loads of fridge space is also available.
Although buses are available to all parts of the island a hired car is highly recommendable and you can easily park it at Julie's accommodation. Supermarket is as close as it can get.Transfer
It worked like a charm. You can arrange all the transfers yourself, including ferries, but there’s no reason to. Let SeyVillas/Creole Travel Services handle this and relax instead. We were met and guided by their friendly staff at all destinations and our printed vouchers were easily transferred into ferry tickets. They’re available on the destinations via WhatsApp in case you have questions and will remind you of upcoming transfers. Awesome service.
Beware, that not all accommodations are covered by the Transfer service. This is stated on the SeyVillas website and we had not noticed it for one of our destinations.

Holiday on the Seychelles
Seychelles exceeded our expectations. Beautiful nature and people! We were there during the rainy season in January but we didn't have much rain during daytime. Few tourists because of corona which was nice because the points of interests were not too crowded. A bit of an annoyance having to wear face masks even outside in the humid heat but we got used to it.
Ocean Villa (Praslin)The owner helped us with tips and booking of some activities. Even gave us a couple of beers on a Sunday when the supermarket was closed. <3 a lot of restaurants were closed due do corona and lack of tourists but we cooked most of our own meals so that wasn't a big issue for us. Beautiful location just by the Grand'Anse. Everything was excellent.

Would have given five stars if not one of the drivers let us off at the wrong guesthouse in Praslin. It was close to walk to the right accommodation so we made it there by walking. A small mistake, not on purpose of course. Apart from that we we're very happy with the service and it was easy to get in touch with representatives to check pick up times etc

Excellent service - highly professional and responsive, and Danielle was incredibly patient with my endless questions and requests! They also price matched when I found a better deal for our accommodation so we felt the value was very good. We booked our accommodation and transfers through Seyvillas but next time I'd probably book our flights with Seyvillas too for the added peace of mind.

Holiday on the Seychelles
Friendly people and one of the most beautiful countries in the world
La Pointe Beach Huts (Praslin)La Pointe is very unique and was our favourite accommodation in the Seychelles. It's calm, peaceful, and clean and tidy. Marie and the team and incredibly friendly and are excellent hosts. If we are ever lucky enough to visit Praslin again we will stay at La Pointe.
Patatran Village Hotel (La Digue)We stayed in a superior room in the main building at Patatran. The room was spacious and clean, and we had a balcony overlooking the pool with wonderful uninterrupted views of the sea and Felicité Island. An unusual quirk of the room is that wall separating the bathroom from the bedroom is made out of branches. There are big gaps between the branches so you can see and hear through the wall and don't get much privacy as a result. It didn't bother us too much as we would pop out to the balcony whenever someone needed the bathroom. Overall, the room and hotel are a little dated aesthetically but we found this charming, rather than something that needs addressing. The staff were fantastic and Lindy, the GM, couldn't have been more helpful. We had breakfast everyday at the hotel which was pretty good but we didn't eat there otherwise so I can't comment on the quality of the restaurant. The location of the hotel is brilliant - it's in a peaceful and quiet setting but you still have easy access to the hustle and bustle of La Passe and the beautiful East Coast of La Digue. A big bonus is that some of the islands best snorkelling is right out from the hotel beach.
Le Nautique is exceptional. Annalise and her team are incredibly friendly and helpful, the accommodation is beautifully decorated, and comfortable and clean, the location is fantastic with shops and restaurants a short walk or drive away, you have direct access to the sea and free use of kayaks, paddle boards, sun loungers, and there's a laundry room, and a shower and bathroom for departing guests. They've really thought of everything - there's even a pack of takeaway menus in the rooms! We felt very much at home here and would have dearly loved to stay longer. If we can visit Mahe in the future we will be sure to base ourselves at Le Nautique
Transfer
Creole Travel Services (arranged for us by Seyvillas) were excellent. All of our transfers were on time and well organised. We had a rep throughout our trip who was contactable through WhatsApp. They were very helpful were very happy to change transfers and look into alternatives as and when we wanted to change our plans. We didn't go on any of their excursions but they had some great looking trips that we'd like to try if we visit again

Have nothing to complain about, only thing maybe is that it is difficult to get in contact in weekends. Otherwise, prompt replies and very good service.
Thanks

Holiday on the Seychelles
Second we have been to seychelles and for us it is a paradise. Both Mahe, Praslin and La Digue in their own ways. Have nothing further to wish for. The best beaches ever, you never get tired of watch the scenery, friendly people, very beautiful nature, scenery. A lot of animals. All over top notch. Maybe the food could have been better but in the more expensive restaurants it was very good. We will definately be back a 3rd time in the future. :)
Clef des Iles (Mahé)Lovely acommodation and very friendly staff. We have stayed in the middle of the beach last time but this placing on the beach have to be the best. Very nice beach. The sunset is beautiful. Very clean and good service, all staff. Both hostess, cleaning and every staff member very polite. Some geckos in the apartment but it is a part of nature and just to plug in ear plugs. A street outside on the backside that get busy during mornings. Otherwise perfect. No need for shoes ever which is very paradiselike. Short walk to store. Almost instant very nice boat house restaurant to have lunch. Very good take away pizza etc. Close to everything except pharmacy. Would absolute recommend.

Holiday on the Seychelles
We had the best holiday ever in Seychelles and really hope to go back one day: Amazing nature, friendly local people, delicious food and the picturesque beaches with their ancient granite stones. So many great memories were left.
Hotel Cote D'Or Lodge (Praslin)Etoile Labrine (La Digue)Strong recommendation <3 We felt the staff really cared about us. Thank you Seyvillas for pointing this cosy, clean and in every way extremely pleasent hotel for us. Especially the boss woman here made the experience unique. She is a lovely and warm person!
Transfer
Transfers went smoothly with Creole Services and service was friendly. We would definitely use Seyvillas again.
The only small improvement we suggest is that water bottles could be handed out in the first bus after the flight since there was no time to buy any. After the flights (arriving 8.35 am), we didn't get any water that day until arriving at the hotel around 16 pm. We got quite thirsty in the heat.

Holiday on the Seychelles
The destination is like a wonderland. People are very polite and ready to help in every case what ever it is.
Food is good and the portions are quit big.Villa Aya (Praslin)The house was very clean and cleaning lady visited every day. The owners were more than helpful and taking good care of their visitors. Nice pool even it was not privet but almost privet. Locations was good just a walking distance from the beach but the surrounding was a little disappointment even it was very peaceful.
Blue Horizon Villas (Mahé)The house was very nice and clean. The view from the house was spectacular up from the hill to the ocean. Nice privet pool and terrace area to enjoy the evenings. Towels and sheets were changed every second day. Nice and good shop just on a walking distance.

We are very satisfied with the SeyVillas Office. Service for a medal, excellent e-mail contact. When I had to postpone my stay by one day, the office reacted very positively without any additional costs. I recommend and will definitely use it again

Excellent.
Au Fond de Mer View (Mahé)Nice location, friendly owner, clean, village and plage in walking distance.
Ocean Villa (Praslin)Written by my son: When we arrived, there were some bottles of water in the fridge. We were given homegrown coconuts as well. The villa was really nice and clean, the bathrooms are big. The lady that runs it also cleans the rooms every day. I fully recommend it.
Owner is really very friendly and cooperative, we enjoyed our stay very much.

We booked our trip very last minute (due to the current COVID situation and the constantly changing rules). This caused a bit of stress, especially because there were problems with getting e-mail contact. But Jelena was an amazing help in arranging and reassuring all our bookings and all worked out extremely well in the end.

Holiday on the Seychelles
Seychelles is known for its amazing beaches and they were, indeed, amazing. However, tasting the local food and exploring the inner islands was an amazing thing to do and experience. The sight of lush green palms in the unique tropical jungle environment will stay with us for decades to come. Though the weather was warm, hiking was not extremely exhausting. We stayed on the islands Praslin, La Digue, Silhouette, and Mahé and by traveling around the islands we discovered that each one has its unique scenery. If you decide to visit, do not miss out on the chance to visit multiple islands! As far as the COVID pandemic goes: We have felt safe our entire stay. Everyone follows the safety rules (except a tourist here or there) and precautions are made to ensure people can follow distancing rules. As an additional rule, daily temperature checks are performed (using an infrared thermometer). If anything, CODIV made for a more relaxed holiday, due to the fact that we did not see that many other tourists.
Villa Anse La Blague (Praslin)Staying at Villa Anse La Blague is something I can recommend to everyone who does not wish to see too many other tourists. The place is located at a quiet part of the island, which allowed us to have the beach in front of the hotel, all to ourselfves. Traveling and seeing the island was easily arranged with help from the kind hostess. The rooms were clean and the food was the best! All local flavors and amazingly tasty.
Le Domaine de L'Orangeraie (La Digue)We've been reading that Le Domaine De L'Orangeraie is one of La Digue's most beautiful hotels and after our stay in a Villa de Charme, we can say that it is beautiful indeed. The loges are build against the hill slope, surrounded by a lush garden with strategically placed bushes and trees. Because of this, we had a great feeling of privacy, especially on our balcony. One of the most amazing aspects of our villa was the amazingly styled outside bathroom (with a roof). The service was excellent. On request they will come and get you with a buggy to move you. Kind people with excellent service. The villa was cleaned daily and two bottles of water were provided each time.
The turn down service was quite pleasant. Whiled we were having dinner, the bed was prepared for sleep, with two extra bottles of water placed on the night stands and soft lighting gave for a relaxed feel to the room after returning.
The only minor details were that the internet connection at the villa was sometimes absent. Also we have one suggestion for the hotel to adapt; During our stay, we made use of the laundry service. Though this was done excellent, we could not find a price list in our room or online. When we check out, the price for the service was higher than expected. It would have been nice to know the prices in advance.Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa (Silhouette Island)As the Hilton is the only resort on the island, so it’s a place where you hardly encounter locals. Our King beach villa was luxurious and we had our own hammock and chairs to enjoy the beach. The room was clean and the people were friendly. The resort has 7 restaurants so you have plenty of choice food-wise and the quality of the food was good. You do have to book the restaurants in advance, something I’d recommend to do, as the buffet is okay, but nothing special. Of all our stays in Seychelles, this resort is most focused on children and organizes a lot of activities to entertain them.
Villas de Jardin (Mahé)This self-catering accommodation has a phenomenal view! We spend a lot of time on the large covered balcony, where you can hear the ocean and enjoy the view. The rooms were exceptionally clean and everything we could need for cooking ourselves was present. Service was great, as even the dished were done for us by the cleaning staff. We did have issues with the WiFi quite often, which was slightly annoying, but that did contribute to the feeling of being utterly alone on a tropical island. The villas had alarms as security in the neighbourhood was a bit less (as we heard). we didn't notice anything here during our stay and never felt unsafe
Transfer
The people at Creole were friendly and kind. We were welcomed and throughout our stay they kept in touch. The day before our departure I would send them a message on pick-up times and almost all times they responded quickly (whether to let us know they would get in touch later or with an answer). Only for our final pick up it took a long time before we were clear on a time.
