    We were in Seychelles to get married and it was a great experience. We used SeyVillas only for the accommodation and transfers as we found it a little more comprehensive than other sites, in particular the ease of inclusion for different boarding packages - which we were warned about to be sure we had at least a half board package or better, as restaurants and alcohol can be very expensive there. We stayed at The H Resort in a pool villa, and everything about the room, the resort, the food, the beach, it was all superb!

    SeyVillas did have an agent offering to meet us and I'm sure they would have given us tips and suggestions to make the most of our experience, but we were only there a few days and already had a full agenda so we did not meet them. One thing I was surprised about was the lack of tourist shopping options, not that we wanted to be overrun with pushy beach salesmen or wander aimlessly through miles of repetitive markets, but at the end we really struggled to find even a few simple gift options to bring home for friends and family. If you are in Seychelles for more than a few days I would suggest meeting the SeyVillas agent.

    The only thing I would mention with SeyVillas is about the transfers, for some reason I thought we had a private car but instead it was a bus, which was OK but as we seemed to be at the end of the drop off line it took a lot longer than necessary to reach the hotel. Then when we left we had a very early morning flight, there was only 1 other couple on the bus and they were on when we boarded, so we had no more stops which was good, but they arranged the pickup so early that we reached the airport at least 1 hour before we needed, a) the extra sleep would have been much appreciated, b) the shops at the airport were not even open until an hour later, and c) it was too early to get food at the hotel and the cafe served the worst food I have even been offered, so we left hungry. In future a little more clarity and more suitable pickup times would be appreciated to round off what was otherwise a great holiday.

    I would certainly recommend using SeyVillas.

    This was our first trip to the Seychelles, for our honeymoon. We had a great time in Mahe, Praslin and La digue. We booked accommodation through Seyvillas for two islands (Praslin and La Digue). The service and communication from Seyvillas has been good, and the hotels/guesthouses were ok.

    This was our first trip to Seychelles and we traveled with our small kid (3 yrs). We typically avoid large hotel chains and therefore we decided to book B&B's and small hotels during our island hopping via Seyvillas as local experts.
    All communication with and request solving by Seyvillas was prompt and smooth during the selection and ordering process.
    Local services, provided by Creole, were reliable, timely and all the local agents were extremely friendly and helpful.
    Accommodation was superb in all three locations (Praslin, La Digue, Mahe), and, in our impression, even better than described in Seyvillas materials.
    We will definitely come back and would recommend Seyvillas to others.
    Thank you for great service, which made our vacation exceptional!

    It was our first trip to The Seychelles, La Digue.
    We both agree it will not be our last!
    We have booked only the accomodation via SeyVillas, good communication and service
    Our accomodation "Villa Anse Source d'Argent" was perfect, excellent service from the guest lady!

    We have booked through Seyvillas with direct flight from Paris, and ocean view pool villa at Raffles, Praslin.
    The journey lived up to its promise, although expensive, but it was a wonderful stay, the transfers and the villa was absolutely correct, as adveretised.
    The help we received in organising excursions was extremely helpful and polite, probably also thanks to our local Creole guide, the partner of Seyvillas on Seychelles, Veronique. An extra thanks to her!
    The only downside we found was the choice (both food and beverages) of the restaurants of the hotel. The international aspect, the fresh seafood variety of the menu was not up to the standard of a 5 star resort. The Chinese menu and dishes were abondant, and although we knew Chinese tourists were in the focus, but we would have appreciated more choice if somebody does not want to eat Chinese, otherwise we would have booked in China. The wine list clearly needs a lot of polishing, which we were told to haőppen by the new F&B manager.

    Having decided to take a holiday in the Seychelles and booked our flights, as we are not great fans of large resorts and fancied "island hopping", we searched the internet for ideas and quickly came across Seyvillas.
    We found the booking process very user friendly and comprehensive as we were able to select our individual accommodation after checking independent reviews. We were then able to leave it to Seyvillas to fill in the gaps and arrange all the transfers etc.
    The holiday itself went like a dream due to the great service provided by Seyvillas and their local service agent Creole Travel who reliably carried out all the transfers and provided local knowledge.
    All our accommodation was great value for money, comfortable, clean and above all friendly and helpful.
    Special mention must go to Brigitte and the fantastic Le Surmer beach villas on beautiful La Digue, and Cecile at the quaint Beach House at Beau Vallon, Mahe, who treated us to a special multi national meal!
    Well done Seyvillas, you deserve your 5 stars.

    Hi,
    My computer and ipad will not allow me into the link you sent me!
    Anyway - we were delighted with the smooth and efficient way that everything worked in Sechelles! Obviously - very geared up to tourism!
    Our favourite island was la Digue! Loved the bicycling and the lack of traffic!!!
    Hotel choices were very good! Especially Dhevarthara in Praslin- expensive, but excellent - very helpful staff!
    Ie Relax in Mahe was ok for one night- not somewhere I would stay for longer! The last place we stayed in for 2 nights - Villa amarilla - I think it was called- potentially good- but very noisy- and the receptionist was not very helpful or friendly! A pity, because it's quite a nice place!
    Anyway everything worked like clockwork!
    Thank you for helping to make our stay memorable!

    We first bought tickets to the Seychelles, without accommodation.
    Searching the internet for the isle's and accomodation, brought us to Seyvillas.
    I looked for the accommodation on Mahé, Pralin and La Digue, and Seychelles took care of the transport from the airport, between hotel, villa's, isle's and everything else.
    We didn't had the stress of finding a cab, bus, or boat.Just relax, the Seychelles way of live.
    On Mahé we stayed in Resort "Berjaya Beau Vallon Bay". That was okee, but could be better. Breakfast was great, but service was poor.
    Aircon didn't work when we arrived. Cold water tab didn't do anything and no towels. For the towels we had to ask several times.
    On Praslin we had a excellent Villa, at Ocean Villa.
    A complete house (Villa Eve), and that was perfect. Direct on the beach, but no swimming pool and that's why it is low budget. But who cares. The ocean is 30 meters away.
    Dorothy (the owner), and Sally, the ladies who take care of almost everything we needed, where the best we good get. We had a great time.
    Especially for us they arranged a "workshop" on coconuts. How you could use them, what stages you can drink or eat them, and so on. Sweet.
    On La Digue we stayed at "Kot Babi". Also real good accommodation, inclusive breakfast, we didn't ordered.
    Normally breakfast is €10,- per person. That's to much, for just coffee/thee, jus and toast with jam. For free, the breakfast was fine :-).
    The house had three air-conned bedrooms. All with their own bathroom.
    La Digue is only 3x5 km and you could see everything by bike.
    Patsy, the lady from Creole Travel, called for them and all 4 bikes were brought to the accommodation.
    The bikes were in a bad state, and that's the only thing to complain about, what was arranged by Creole Travel/Seyvillas.
    A next time, we will certainly use Seyvillas again.

    Great creole style villa in forest. You can feel the nature everywhere. Lizards and birds are everywhere. The location is fantastic. Quite place, no people. Everything is available on bike. Harbor is 15 min biking, 30 min walking. You can take a taxi for 250 rup. Recommended for right romantic holidays. Negative is the not everyday cleaning only twice a week. Huge quantity of mosquitos, logical you are part of forest. Upstairs missing mosquitos net.

    from the moment we booked our accommodation and flight through Seyvillas did we receive very friendly email communication and help and professionalism that was outstanding. since this was the first time we used Seyvillas to book a package were we a bit apprehensive, but this was allayed by quick, friendly and very helpful service and advise.
    They ensured that we started our journey to the Seychelles with no worries and only excitement. On arrival we eased into the moment with a friendly and professional welcome by Creole for our transfer who were very efficient and helpful adjusting our time to Cerf island to suite us better.
    On Cerf we felt like it was paradise come true and was our accommodation without fault with welcoming drinks, a little 'started' pack that covered much needed basic groceries and the villa decorated with Hibiscus flowers. it was clean, modern, tastefully decorated, well looked after and serviced daily. The welcome from Rita was warm and friendly and eager to assist with any questions. The island was a dream come true and did it not take us long to adjust to the slow pace of peace, quiet and tranquillity. we enjoyed activities through the L'Habitation hotel, kayaking and snorkelling with an instructor who initially showed us the best route. The hotel staff were also helpful with friendly advise and did we enjoy supper and lunch there when we did not feel like cooking. The latter we enjoyed to do at our own time and pace which suited us perfectly. we explored the island as much as time allowed us and left enough to discover more for our next visit.
    We cannot wait to go back to see the friendly locals, fellow South Africans living there and our little sanctuary brought to us by the most fantastic Team of Seyvillas. Thank you for looking after us!!!! we could not ask for more. We are already planning to go back as soon as we have time in this year.

    I am sorry to write the reviews so late. We were in Seychelles in October and were very happy. Accomodation was as good as we excepected. Only the weather wasnt so good, lot of raing but we cant blame the accomodation for that.

    We enjoyed everything about Villa Caballero even though we did not have the perfect holiday weather conditions. Basil and Vivian and perfect hosts and their family and staff are all a delight. The s/c unit is beautifully designed and decorated - so spacious and bright and the pool and gardens are a perfect location to hang out. Breakfasts were varied and tasty. Thank you all so much again!

    Services provided by Seyvillas was standard, nothing exceptional. Emails back and forth were laborious and a different person responded each time. I had to repeatedly refer to another conversation with a different Seyvillas representative. I did all the research on discounts myself and then forwarded them the special promotions to be applied to our quote. I emailed them the flights I wanted when I found more affordable options myself. The ONLY reason I booked through Seyvillas was to have the travel insurance in case we needed to cancel.. Our stay in Seychelles was wonderful, however I feel that was due to my own research on tripadvisor and countless other sites. We highly recommend both the Kempinski on Mahe and Côte d'Or Footprints on Praslin. The Kempinski was truly a 5-star experience and the property manager at Côte d'Or Footprints was extremely helpful our entire stay. The chalets at Footprints are newly built, clean, private and in an ideal location on Cote d'Or Beach near all the best restaurants on Praslin. We rented a car separately and this was an excellent choice as we were able to explore both islands at our leisure! Seychelles has some of the most beautiful beaches you will ever see. We traveled from the USA and it was worth every penny! A trip we will never forget!

    Unfortunately Seyvillas fell short of our expectations. Although the booking process was more complex than we had hoped, it was not a deterrent to book with Seyvillas as the prices seemed very reasonable. Our arrival to the Seychelles was delayed because of mechanical problems with our plane that caused us to arrive a day late. Seyvillas in no way even tried to compensate us for this day we did not spend in the hotel. That was not unreasonable and we were still happy with the gorgeous beaches and hills of the Seychelles. Upon returning home we noticed that we had been charged TWICE for our vacation. When we asked Seyvillas to look into this, we wrote three e-mails before they responded by saying that their accounts department had only received one payment. We contacted the credit card company who confirmed they had received both payments. Seyvillas has offered no explanation of this or returned our e-mails, so the credit card company is lodging a formal inquiry.

    So we are left with a bad taste in our mouth after paying for 14 days of holiday and only getting 6.

    Hopefully this can be resolved.

    We stayed at Constance on Mahè Island. The room (senior suite) was perfect and the whole resort is really a fantastic place to be. It is really a big resort but very well managed.
    The Seyvillas team provided a great service to support our booking procedures.

    Thank you Seyvillas for taking the guesswork out of booking comfortable, clean and stunning accommodation for our Seychelles holiday. Francesca and the Seyvillas team were prompt, professional and exceedingly helpful, keeping up with even our most specific requests. Thank you Seyvillas -- we're so glad we didn't have to book without you!

    In gratitude,

    We stayed at 'Villa Verte' on La Digue.
    The accommodation was great...everything it claimed to be and more.
    We had everything we needed and the house manager Pierre was friendly, helpful and professional.
    We loved the position of the house, being in a quieter part of the island but still with easy access to everything and right on the sea.
    Seyvillas handled our booking efficiently and professionally.

    Estuvimos en Praslin, La Digue y Mahé todo organizado por Seyvillas incluidos traslados y vuelos y todo perfecto. El equipo de Creole (compañía que se encarga de recogerte y llevarte en todos los traslados) siempre era puntual o te estaba esperando.
    Visitar Seychelles es una experiencia única e inolvidable que recomiendo a todo el mundo!!

    We were on Sea Star, the boat was nice but the accommodation was a catastrophe!Dirty beddings with a so thin "mattress: that we could actually not call that a mattress, we even had bugs in our beds. The food was very cheap despite the enormous effort of the chef. The crew was nice but our Kid was bored as this is not a kid friendly cruise at all.

    We had a wonderful experience with Seyvillas. They answered very quickly to all requests. They were very helpful in choosing our accommodation and they had very good prices.
    I strongly recommend them to anybody looking for a holiday in Seychelles.

    Thank you!

    The guesthouse in Praslin was very nice. On the negative side we stayed there in July which turns out to be the monsoon weather and we could not use the beach because of very heavy sea grass. Paying to stay in a guest house situated on the beach but not being able to walk or swim there was quite disappointing. I would only recommend staying in this beach house on Grand Beach if you know the weather is clear. It was not walking distance to any restaurants, stores, or activities so a rental car is required or you rely on the public bus. We took the bus but the service stops at 6pm and getting taxis was not as easy as one would anticipate. On the positive side, the facility and service was very nice. The owners are sweet, quite friendly and helpful and were a joy to meet. In the right season this is a nice rustic get-away for a couple of days.
