Highly recommend sea view lodge on Praslin, the owner Gretel and Barry are very helpful.
The villas on stilts are beautiful with lovely sea views.
Enjoyed the lovely breakfast at reasonable costs.

- Awesome villa in Seychelles
- Quick and easy to book
- Clear communication on payments and so on

We have been happy with the logistical service Seyvillas has given us during planning and booking, as well as relating to the organisation of travel/transport in the Seychelles. However, your advice on one accommodation and the description of Anse Possession did not satisfy though.
And are also a little critical of Creole Travel Service due to their inflexibility.
Creole were reliable and punctual, and all transfers worked out well. However, in one situation we experienced them as rather inflexible: our last transfer was to take us from Mahé jetty to Mahé Airport at 18.30. Our Condor flight was scheduled to depart at 23.40. As there is no restaurant at the airport, we asked the Creole rep for a later transport so that we could take advantage of the "Fishtail" restaurant at the jetty (highly recommended, by the way - excellent Chinese food, very fresh and well cooked). This was refused by Creole as all passengers from the ferry had to be transferred to the airport in one bus at the same time. So we decided to drop our paid transfer (no offer of a rebait!), and paid for a taxi instead and got something decent to eat before our 10-hour flight. We were not too happy about this type of customer service.
Our second criticism relates to Sea View Lodge on Praslin. To list the positives first: the view from the big stilt villa we had booked is indeed lovely, the position on the island is good, the garden is indeed beautiful, the villa itself is spacious, the balcony very nice, the kitchen is reasonably well equipped. The housemaid, Jane, is lovely and very helpful - and over-worked as she seems to be the only staff apart from the gardener and cook.
And now the more difficult aspects: the owner, Gretchen, struck us as indolent and not too interested in welcoming her guests; on arrival, in fact, we experienced her manner as quite off-putting. We arrived around late lunch time and at first nobody seemed to wish to welcome us. It took a long time for Gretchen to surface and she clearly had little time or interest in us. Our departure was similar: nobody to say a goodbye, and - more importantly - nobody to give a hand with our suitcases! In-between, we also experienced that Gretchen can be more generous, such as when I was offered an avocado from her tree, when she let us have the hired car for free the last day in compensation for the broken-down AC unit in one room and allowed us to us a shower-room prior to our late departure.
The appointment of our "Big Stilt Villa" (which has all the potential to be lovely, indeed) corresponded. The German word "lieblos" springs to mind: in one bathroom the rail for the towels had half come off the wall (it took 2 days to be fixed!), half the mattress in the bigger bedroom was lumpy und thus quite uncomfortable for one person, the second bathroom (contrary to the description on their website!) does not have a bidet, and the AC unit did not work. Someone came to fix it after 3 (!!) days, and then it half fell off the wall. We noticed that before it had been "repaired" with sella-tape - so clearly the owner knew about it being unreliable. And finally the food! After discussion on the phone with a Seyvillas rep in Germany who highly recommended the wonderful food and especially the dinner, we booked one breakfast and the first dinner (12 € and 30 € p.p. respectively = 168 and 420 Rupees). Here I feel let down by the Seyvillas advice! 168 Rupees bought us 2 pieces of toast, 2 cups of coffee, 1 small omelette,and 2 bananas!! And 420 Rupees bought a smallish salad first course, a badly cooked tuna curry, and 3 small scoops of ice-cream! I cannot understand how Seyvillas could recommend this!?! Or are you maybe not well informed about what goes on there? Particularly compared to prices of food & quality both in the other accommodations we had as well as in restaurants around this was a bad joke! Anyway, in the end Gretchen must have got wind of our disappointment and charged us "only" 10 € each for the breakfast, and, yes, we had the car for free the last day.
My last, but very critical, point about it is that your recommendation of Anse Possession as a great beach for swimming and snorkelling, and as safe for families could not be more wrong: it could not be more unsafe due to the large number of extremely dangerous sting rays in the sand in the very shallow water. In fact, there is even a notice on the beach warning not to swim there! Apart from that, at close sight, the water is quite dirty and far too shallow even at high tide. You need to correct your description urgently!

Our "top" accommodations during our stay:
Bird Island Lodge gets full marks for quality (also of the food) and service, friendliness, professionalism, the nature guide Robby, and the villas are really lovely! Really a "must go" in Seychelles!
And a place not on the Seyvillas list: Takamaka Green Village on Mahé (almost directly on Takamaka beach) - small, personal, beautiful, superbly well run, excellent food both for breakfast & dinner: lovely first-floor room with large balcony overlooking very nice garden with ample and very varied breakfast = 100€ a night for 2, dinner 20€ p.p. and again multiple courses, well cooked, nice variety. The owner is always there and charming, his manager is really good, very friendly, very professional, and there is a lot of support staff in the kitchen, for cleaning and for the very large grounds. That´s what a guest-house should be like!!

The hotel patatran is placed on one of the best place on la dique. We got a upgrade from deluxe rooom to honeymoonvilla. This villa is very large, with best view and very privat.only little details were not so good like Defect things in the bathroom. And the way to the villa was long a strength. Personal were very kind and helpful.in the restaurant the food was good and nice personal.the breakfast was good. But the personal was not so quickly on buffett. You have to say that no bread, butter are there and the big cooker was very unfriendly. The beach near the hotel is clean and very nice. You can rent bicycles directly by the hotel . It was a relaxed week in the patatran!

Villa Pasyon.

Me and 6 members of my family stayed in this villa from 22 to 28 Dec. It was absolutely superb and had everything we needed. The owners Annie and Rex lived next door and they were very kind and helpful and the breakfasts Annie served for us were delicious. I would have no hesitation is recommending this villa and would hope to return to this part of paradise. La Digue is a beautiful island. The booking was made in my daughter's name,
Maria Painter and as far as I know all the arrangements with Seyvillas was very satisfactory. Thank you.

Me and 6 other members of my family stayed in villa Zananas from 16 to 22nd Dec 2016. We had a wonderful time. Villa Zananas is a large airy villa. It had most things we needed but could be improved by some simple things. There were no drawers in the bedroom to put clothes, just a hanging rail. The bathroom had no where to put toiletries. Nevertheless we had a lovely stay and would recommend this villa to friends and family. Marie who serviced the villa was very helpful. Thanks Marie. The villa was booked in my daughters name Maria Painter

Thank you, thank you for making our wedding at the Seychelles unforgettable. Excellent service and arrangements. Our accommodation at Kempinski Resort was fabulous thank you for recommending them for accommodation. We were welcomed at the airport by Creole Tours. I can recommend using your company, good service, prompt response and the fact that you went out of your way to get us the 3 rooms next to each other with a terrace. Will make use of you again. Thank you to you and your team.

Thank you for making our holiday beautiful and unforgettable! We'll come back ;)

We booked a one week trip on a Catamaran through Seyvillas. Nothing was too much trouble the team were very informative and prompt to reply to any queries we had. Excellent service and advice . We would recommend the catamaran 600 trip if you would like to see lots of the Seychelles in one week, amazing experience. Thank you Seyvills team.

We stayed for. For 7 nights at Beau Bamboo in Beau Vallon and an extra night at Le Manglier near the airport. The first floor apartment at Beau Bamboo was a delight with its wonderful balcony overlooking the sea and the friendly help of the staff.

We also found that the Seyvillas team were extremely efficient, helpful and quick to respond to any queries. Well done!

We just returned from a 2 weeks holiday on the Seychelles, where we stayed at Praslin, La Digue and Mahe. The accommodations in all locations were good. The pick-ups and drop-offs were also well arranged. The local travel agency Creole is not always on time though. Also, the local representatives did not show up on both Praslin and La Digue, even though we were given a notice that they would.
Our overall experience with SeyVillas is excellent, and we would definitely recommend them when you are planning a trip to the Seychelles.

Being housed for 8 nights in apartments 1 and 2 of Chez Bea Luxury Villa booked through with you, we have been forced to clean the rooms daily and from the first day of stay, in addition to killing daily a lot of ants that filled kitchen cabinets and several cockroaches running between the dishes and a feeding bottle of my son. Having made aware of these facts to the reception several times without getting any solution.
It is the third time we travel to Seychelles and we had never stayed in a hotel as inadvisable and with such deplorable hygienic conditions.
We appreciate that provide us a contact email referring them photographs we do about it.

Good service

The service and support from Seyvillas was super; everything easily arranged.

The accommodation itself had its issues, not major...but sometimes its the little things. I reviewed this separately with them.

Just back from a fabulous 10 days on Praslin and La Digue. Seyvillas made it so easy to book and answered all my questions in advance really promptly. We were met by cheery Creole Tours agents at the airport, ports and our accommodation and all our transfers went seamlessly.
On Praslin we stayed at Sea View Lodge in one of the villas on stilts - the view is amazing as is the quality of the villa and its gardens- Gretel and her Team really looked after us and will bring a delicious dinner (if you like fish you're in for a treat) and breakfast up to your villa.
On La Digue we were at Le Domaine les Rochers and looked after by Costas and Paula. A beautiful apartment designed by Paula set in gorgeous gardens with easy walking access to all of the island. Don't miss a trip to the hilltop Bellevue restaurant (dinner price includes the ride up, you wouldn't want to drive yourself!) - food is fantastic cooked on an open fire and watch the sun go down.
A fantastic holiday, the islands are beautiful and barely any tourists (7-17 July).
Would recommend our accommodation and Seyvillas without doubt. Thank you, we have so many memories.

Had a fabulous time at Bord Mer, the staff were fantastic, the breakfast was amazing! The location has to be the best on Mahe, right on the beach!

Amazing summer holiday in Seyschelles. Is the 2nd time we book with Seyvillas and we are very satisfied. Seyvillas are very friendly, reply quickly and allways have the best offers.
We decided for hotel L'Habitation, on Cerf Island with halfboard. Hotel is a family business, very clean, friendly staff and delicious food. Hotel is located 15 minutes from Eden Island on Mahe, by boat. In front of the hotel is an amazing coral reef with colourful fish, lagoon turtle, eagle rays and so on. There are plenty of small islands to be visited by kayack or with boat as a daytrip , where you can do amazing snorkeling on Sainte Anne Marine Park. (Reccomand Cacheé Island, Moyenne Island)
Holiday was even better than expected, it was a paradise vacation indeed.

The service received from Seyvillas was extraordinary. Everything regarding booked hotel on Praslin was as agreed.

Really enjoyed our stay at Casadani Guesthouse ,everything was perfect, the beds were really comfortable and in the room has everything you would need. I highly recommend. Very good breakfast and buffet Dinner.
Just a short walk from the bus stop and the beach.

My partner and I traveled to the Seychelles in late April and stayed at the Double Tree by Hilton. We also used the holiday as the occasion to get married. Everything was organised by Seyvillas.

I can honestly say that from the moment I first made contact with Seyvillas to the moment we landed back home, we received nothing but the best from them. Courteous, professional and flexible are the best three words I can select for Seyvillas. It was the most stress free holiday I have ever had. Seychelles is a paradise. It is a beautiful place to get married and with Seyvillas organising everything on your behalf just made it perfect.

Thank you!

We stayed in several Guesthouses around in Seychelles. To end our honeymoon special we booked a hotel: Coral Strand at Mahe through Seyvillas. The mountainview room was looking at a wall and the room was very small and old room. We were happy the Hotel staff good upgrade us to Ocean View room. These rooms were also very small. The room was outdated and with the airco at 16 degrees it was over 25 degrees at night. The Pool at Coral Strand was very small and the beach was very disappointing (compared to Anse Lazio at Praslin and Grande Anse at La Digue).
The food in the restaurant was very good.
The pictures and reviews on several websites we made our decision for this hotel were not what we find this hotel worth a normal review. This hotel is simply too old and overpriced.
