Seyvillas:
Service and information from the site Seyvillas - Excellent.
We handle everything via email and went very well. They gave us all the information requested and budgets. We are very grateful for their services.
Accommodation Seychelles
Elize's Villa (Praslin):
Far away and difficult to access. You must have car.
At night you can hear the sound of animals, nature and the sea waves - is very nice. On the other hand, at night we had to close doors and windows because there were cockroaches in the kitchen and terrace. The kitchen was poorly equipped.
However, the room is very comfortable and has air-conditioning and fan.
It is good for those who love nature and quiet.
Only worth it if you stay in the house that faces the sea.
Has direct access to the sea with rocks. It's good for snorkling.
Le Repaire Boutique Hotel (La Digue):
Amazing!
Very good facilities. Good location. Good service.
Excellent breakfast.
We would like to return and spend more time at this hotel.Holiday on the Seychelles

Tim and I are just back from the Seychelles, and we had a great time generally! We were impressed with the Mason's drivers who turned up at every appointed time for the transfers, and we enjoyed our stays at Bord Mer and Flycatchers, despite getting sick while on La Dique.
I want to tell you about what happened at the last place we stayed at on Praslin, which was the Islander's Guesthouse as it was very disappointing. In addition to the beach being one where we couldn't get into the water due to very forceful waves against rocks, the apartment was extremely hot and humid throughout the day. All guests we spoke to were angry that they were forced to pay an additional charge for air conditioning in units that couldn't be stayed in without it.
We were shocked upon arrival to be told that we couldn't turn our air conditioning on in the unit unless we paid them another fee of 8 Euros per day. Naturally all other places we stayed in the Seychelles, and have ever stayed all over the world, have included the A/C in the quoted price, and so we were very surprised to have to pay this extra unexpected fee, particularly as we had thought that all our accommodation costs were already paid!
Initially we thought they had made a mistake with the booking, as our accommodation costs were quite substantial for the std of accommodation. They insisted we pay the fee, and we felt that this was an unscrupulous hidden fee. This made us very angry but we decided to try to enjoy our stay there anyway as there seemed nothing we could do about it. The heat inside the unit was actually unbearable during the day until well after 8-9pm each day. Naturally when we were out all day the A/C was turned off and so to have people pay a daily rate is really not appropriate for tourists, who are there to be outdoors most of the time.Holiday on the Seychelles

Thank you for your quick responses, great service and fair prices for some of the accommodation offered. We were very happy with our booking of the Coco de Mer Hotel and had a wonderful honeymoon on the Seychelles.

Dear Seyvillas Team
We are back from our trip to Seychelles and I would like to give some feedback. We booked 3 nights at Hotel Patatran in La Digue with you and when we arrive at the island the hotel told us that they were full for the first night and put us in another hotel (of lower conditions)and offer us the dinner for that night to compensate us. We were not expectacting that but we had no other option. The other 2 nights we spend at the hotel Patratan and was very nice. Just want to sugest you to make sure that all the hotels you offer for your clients are realy making the bookings and this kind of situations do not happen in the future. Thanks a lot. Regards. Andrea :-)Holiday on the Seychelles

We spent our first week on La Digue at La Kaz Safran. Lisette and Helene we extremely welcoming and the breakfasts were simple but filling and delicious. The room was perfect for our needs with a great view of local life from the balcony. The website mentioned the kitchen could be used for self catering, but we found this not to be the case although we were able to store food in the fridge. A great stay.
We then transferred to Praslin and Villas de Mer. Wow! Jose and the team were great - really helpful with super advice for day trips and local knowledge. The room and on-site facilities were really lovely. The afternoon snack each day was a very welcome offering.
Overall a fantastic and memorable trip. All Masons Travel reps were helpful with punctual and easy transfers which made the whole experience perfect.
Well done Seyvillas. Would recommend you to anyone.Holiday on the Seychelles

Good evening Gioia,
There's only one word for the services provided to us: fantastic.
No worries about transportation, excellent hotels, exact timing, German style.
We really appreciated your efforts to give us a super holiday on the beautiful island.

Thanks again.Holiday on the Seychelles

Seyvillas was great for booking our hotel. They were able to find a hotel that met our criteria and was relatively inexpensive, and the booking process was very easy. Hotel Brittania was a beautiful place, with attractive, clean rooms, great pool. The restaurant was a little disappointing. The breakfast cooks did not know how to poach an egg, so we had only fried or scrambled. We had half board, but the dinners only offered 2 entrees, so we often wound up eating out. The wines were all bad (due to heat and poor storage). Also, the staff were very slow. We would come to breakfast at 7:30, hoping to be ready for our cab to the dive shop at 8:30, but our eggs would not be served until 8:20. Staff in general were unhelpful, and needed a better attitude.

We were in Le Relax Beach resort in Praslin. Accommodation looked very cheap and quite used - not recommended for long stay. Food was good and staff very fine (especially Natascha).
We stayed 1 night in Le Relax self catering in La Digue and there was everything excellent - we can only recommended. But the beaches are much nicer in Praslin than in La DigueHoliday on the Seychelles

Dear Seyvillas Team,
After our return from our honeymoon I would like to give you a feedback on the Hotel Villa Authentique.
To be honest, this is my first feedback after a travel. But the great hotel Villa Authentique and their offered services really motivate me to give you a comment. This hotel really was perfect for us!
By the way: as we stood in two hotels in La Digue and really explored the complete island, I believe that I am really able to give you a valid assessment from a clients perspective.
Location: perfect
The hotel is located next to the heart of the village (approx. 200 meters) with its shops, offices etc. but calm. All beaufiful beaches are easy accessable by bike. By the way: no really beautiful beach is located next to a hotel on La Digue; you have to take a bike or taxi in all cases. Therefore the location was perfect for us.
General Impression: perfect
with the change of the management the hotel, restaurant and garden have been renovated beginning of 2013. Today, it is very modern, pretty looking any in an extremly good conditions. Definetly not compareable / much better than all other hotels we saw on La Digue in this price segment.
Rooms: very good
The rooms are as good as you could expect, minimal smaller than normal but totally comfortable for us.
They are fully equiped (e. g. one air condition and one additional fan).
Breakfast: perfect
For breakfast fesh made juices and very good tasting breakfast with variations of eggs / saussages were served.
Restaurant (not included in our reservation): perfect
You have to make a reservation as the fish will be fresh made for you. The dinner in general really was perfect to us: a very pleasant ambience, very good tasting dinner (starter, main course and dessert) and a very friendly staff.
Besides one restaurant in Mahe (la perle noire, Mahe) really the best restaurant / dinner we had during our honeymoon.
Staff (inkl. management): perfect
Quite unbelievable, but the staff - and especially the management - made our stay perfect to us. We found quite a familiar atmosphere in the hotel what you can see in all relationships between (other) clients and the staff. At the top, you are able to take part at tours (e.g. snorkling), but unfortunetly we realized this too late and did not take part).
To come to an end: Great hotel. With this experiences, I would never book the hotel I booked before and would directly stay an Villa Authentique.
I would love to help you, Seyvillas, to give your clients a valid recommendation to stay in this hotel.
Best regards

We did an island hopping package in Praslin, La Digue and Mahé in 13 days. When it comes to Praslin accomodation, we stayed at Berjaya Beach with great location close to Anse Volbert. Berjaya itself was pretty good nevertheless the staff at front desk pretty poor. If you get 3 different prices on a rent-a-car from 3 different front desk officers, that's just not good and of course you pay the highest :-). Restaurant had good prices and pretty good food to be honest. Overall 4,5 stars. Then we moved to La Digue where we stayed at Casa de Leela which was just outstanding ! Own apartment, huge & absolutely superclean and quiet away from mainstream, very good and cheap restaurant just around the corner and very dedicated staff of Casa de Leela made it a highly recommendable choice. Overall 5+ stars from us. Last but not least was Le Relax Hotel on Mahé where the superdeluxe room looked like a cheap choice. The only good thing was the view, that was deluxe. The staff was extremely slow and we just couldn't buy internet wifi card the whole stay :-) Overall 3 stars.

We stayed in sea view lodge in a stilt lodge. It was very clean and spacious and the view from the (large) balcony was amazing. The owners and staff were helpful and friendly and the food we had cooked for us in the evenings was fresh and tasty. We booked through Seyvillas who provided a prompt and courteous service.

We stayed at guesthouse „Kot Babi“ on La Digue. At first a host lodged us to 1-Bedroom Villa.
But we had booked 2-Bedroom Villa and I remember about this and told the host about this.
Afterwards he moved us to 2-Bedroom Villa. In this villa a light in one bedroom and airconditioner didn’t work. The airconditioner was repaired in the evening at first day of our stay, but the light didn’t
repaired for all duration of our stay in this gueshouse (3 nights) although I have told the host about this problem several times. Breakfast was poor and we preferred to prepare breakfast in our kitchen.
The most important disadvantage was location this guesthouse close to disco “La Noche”.
Loud drum and bass music till 4 am at the weekends disturbed our sleep.
Advantages – close to pier, there are several shops and restaurants take-away in the vicinity.
Last night we have stayed at "Le Manglier" on Mahe. It is small hotel near the airport.
Rooms were clean and tidy,very well equipped kitchen(it is necessary saltcellar and dishwashing sponge) We were disappointed with the bedding though as we had pillowcase which seen better day and had
stains. Also one towel had stains. View from one window of our hotel suite to opposite wall and
blinds admitted light so passing people can see you. But this hotel is good to stay for just one night before departure.Holiday on the Seychelles

We spent an incredible week at villa Fleur de Sel.The conditions in the villa are very good. It provides excellent self-catering equipment, new furniture, cleanliness and comfort.
The villa is just by the sea and although the beach is not the best on Mahe, there are splendid beaches less than a kilometer away from the accommodation.
It is better to rent a car to enjoy the splendour of the island. Close to Fleur de Sel there are 3 great restaurants and convenient shops.
The owner is really friendly and helpful in every situationHoliday on the Seychelles

We stayed at Le Manglier near the airport the first night and then went to stay at Le Sur Mer in La Digue for the following week. Le Manglier was a very cute hotel for our first night arrival to get settled. The lady of the house made a wonderful dinner for us and breakfast and helped us get a good deal on a rental car upon advice that this is much cheaper and better than getting around by taxi. She was wonderful and gave us a lot of tips for our upcoming trip.
Le Sur Mer on La Digue was fantastic. The place is beautiful. Every day our towels were folded in new wonderful ways (swans, fish, you name it), it was very clean, the place is quite spacious and the cook (should you choose to eat there which we can only recommend) is very friendly and makes the most excellent fish. The whole staff was really nice, the place has its own little beach and is very enjoyable. (the only downside that really is an upside is that internet is quite expensive, but it allows you to not use it and actually enjoy vacation :))
Thank you Sevillas also for all the help. This trip was planned very last minute and we couldn't have asked for better help. Everything was set up perfectly and you really helped find wonderful places for us!Holiday on the Seychelles

We have stayed at Cerf resort. It is a beautiful island, very tranquil. Rooms are large, clean, disappointed with the bedding though as we had only sheet and thin blanket which seen better days. In our package we had transfers included.. Unfortunately when we arrived nobody knew about us. Mason travel were very quick in sorting the taxi and taking us to the jetty and there we were told that the boat will arrive in 10 mins but unfortunately that was not the case. We had to make a few phone calls ourselves ( which was not cheap ) to the hotel to send the boat. We had to wait an hour for the boat to turn up which is not that great after a night flight. I must say that on the way back we had no problems even though we had to leave the island at 5am.
Food was great, stuff helpful. Beaches were very dirty though and snorkelling wasn't great either. Unfortunately I will be recommending Maldives to my friends as value for money and the over all experience was more enjoyable over there.Holiday on the Seychelles

Well, the best way to visit seychelles and the cheapest is to rent a car @ scr 600 approx 35Euro and a self catering apartment at 60Euro. You have many around MAHE! Creole Holidays and Mason Travel are quite expensive for instance they wanted 1700 Rupees for a half day bus tour approx 100Euro!For poor people, a better option is Mauritius. Much more to visit at much lower prices.
