    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.

    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 situation

    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!

    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.

    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.

    The Berjaya Resort in Praslin was utterly useless and overpriced. Their service sucks and they have no clue how to treat a guest. They were extremely impolite and negligent towards customers. Moreover, they have no clue about the word "clean" and apparently they have never seen a "mop". If you ask for room service, despite the ridiculous overprice they charge you, you have to go and pick it up yourself from the reception.

    Whereas, the stay in L'Habitation in cerf Island was wonderful. They always went an extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction and they really know how to keep things fresh and clean.

    The Mason's Travel services, had everything clearly sorted and they were polite and friendly. But they had some punctuality issues and sometimes they were late, especially when they were supposed to give you vouchers to get on to a ferry.

    Overall, I rate my experience as 3 stars instead of 5 stars only because of the awful experience at the Berjaya resort in Praslin

    Good organisation generally. Vouchers system worked fine apart from ferry connection Praslin to La Digue; the ferry ticket people could not understand that we were only going one way as we had a direct La Digue to Mahe ticket on the way back. They wouldn't exchange our voucher on that basis and so we had to pay. Annoying.

    Great accommodation, and Masons apart from the above issue (which they were not able to fix although they did try) were very helpful and all our transfers were easy.

    All in would use Seyvillas again and have already recommended to friends.

    We really enjoyed our holiday in Seychelles time.
    The Moonlight Beach hotel at La Digue can be recommended very much. Even when we forgot our money there everything was organized by Mason's Travel - we got it back!!!!!
    The time at Cerf Island was also great. The people at Fairy Term were so kind.
    We plan to come back and book again at the Seyvillas team.

    Dear Ms Traquandi,

    I would like to thank you for organizing this beautiful holiday for me and my daughter. Le Surmer on La Digue was very nice, clean, very well equipped and very well located. Chalets Anse Forbans were a little less standard, but still well taken care of and the beach there was marvelous.
    Then, Mason's travel was functioning perfectly, there was always someone waiting for us and all transport was on time.
    Once again, many thanks!
    With regards,

    My wife and 6 year old daughter booked our island hopping experience with SeyVillas and it really made our trip to the Seychelles a great experience and so much better than the usual 1 week stay at a resort. We stayed 4 nights in Praslin (Villa Bananier) and 4 nights in La Digue (Moonlight Beach Villa). In both locations, the rooms were quite good, the staff extremely friendly and helpful.
    In Praslin we only had b&b, breakfast was simple but ok. Also it was one of the cheapest accommodations available through SeyVillas, so we couldn't expect something too fancy. In La Digue we had half board. Breakfast was really good and varied and the dinner was always very good, especially the fish. Staff in both places were always very helpful in booking either rental car (Praslin) or bikes (La Digue). It was the first we booked the trip fully by ourselves and it was a very smooth process (booking, payment, logistics).
    Seychelles are an amazing destination and I honestly believe the best way of experiencing it is through hopping around through the various amazing islands and staying in small places, as opposed to staying at a full blown resort the whole time.
    I can highly recommended both the service of SeyVillas, as well as the places we stayed in.

    My wife and I were looking for a relaxing week and Le Relax hotel on Mahé was ideal for unwinding. Roland and his staff were extremely helpful and were able to arrange a short stay at their sister hotel on Praslin. We hadn't planned to do this but it was well worth the effort. Their in-house car hire was inexpensive and very flexible over pick-up and drop-off places and times so we were able to dispense with taxi transfers. We hadn't intended to eat at the hotel every night but we ended up doing so to try their range of speciality curries in a pleasant atmosphere. Lovely island; friendly, helpful people and all our arrangements went smoothly.

    Dear Mrs. Traquandi,

    Thank you for organising one of our best holidays ever!! The Seychelles are truly paradise-Islands with friendly people and amazing nature, on land and under water. We had an amazing time.

    We woud like to inform you of the great service from Mason's Travel, Hide Away appartments and Fairy Tern.

    Our flight from Dubai to Victoria was delayed and therefore we just missed the ferry to Praslin by 10 minutes. That was a bit of a bummer, but Mason's arranged tickets for the afternoon-ferry and offered us their vip-lounge for waiting for the ferry to arrive. Not the holiday-start we hoped for of course, but our compliments for Mason's!
    All the other transfers were also perfect.

    The appartment at Hide Away was bigger than we had expected, has a nice garden and it was very clean. The hosts were very friendly and easygoing people, always available for a chat and tips. We even got a complimentary drive to and from a restaurant our first night there! And when we asked for it, they set us up with people to arrange a rentalcar for our tour around the island, and a boattrip, witch came at very resonable prices.
    We would advise a stay here to everyone for sure, but would also advise a rentalcar because of the absence of shops and restaurants nearby. And off course a boattrip to Curieuse Island!

    Our stay on Cerf Island at Fairy Tern was amazing! The hosts were friendly but a bit more reserved, the appartment was superb, a litte more classy. The snorkling and canoeiing was good and the boattrip to Moyenne Island, wich was arranged through the hosts, was absolutely great.
    The food and service at the restaurant next door (l'Habitation) wasn't that great for dinner but the breakfast was good.
    We highly recommend FairyTern!

    We also took a daytrip to La Digue. It is a nice island, but surely not the best for a stay, there were a lot of tourists.

    Both Hide Away and Fairy Tern are great choices for any traveller to the Seychelles!

    Again, thank you a lot, we will also recommend Seyvillas to our friends with travelplans to the Seychelles.

    Best regards, Esther & Ferenc

    The Seychelles is a wonderful small world of its own. Political authorities have been smart enough not to allow mass tourism. Local residents show pride in their islands and are genuinely friendly and helpful, accordingly. Just for the sake of correct info, however, one shouldn't be surprised that beaches in general, with some exceptions, do not reach top quality level all-day, due to huge tide variation. The Seyvillas organisation worked to our complete satisfaction, no problems whatsoever.
    Ideas- Self-catering is perhaps not very recommendable because a) restaurants are very high-class and price-worthy and supporting them is likewise support of local employment and b) stores do not feature full supply in all places.
    Ferry La Digue-Mahe should be direct and/incl. tickets to upper deck, irrespective of costs.
    All in all - see it at least once in your life- you won't regret. I don't.

    December 2012 holiday in the Seychelles was fantastic. All arrangements went smoothly and the assistance provided on the ground was superb. Mason's Travels in the Seychelles were on-time everywhere and was always there to help.

    Some ideas and feedback:

    Praslin - if you choose self catering, try and rent a car - the public transport is cheap but not very convenient, and you will need to get to the shops and beaches.

    La Digue - Great little Island, our favourite. Make sure the accommodation owners provide decent bicycles - this is the main mode of transport

    Cerf - Very nice and close to Eden Island/Main Island. La Habitation is nice, pity they have no Satellite television in the otherwise very nice rooms.

    Can recommend Seyvillas and will use them again!

    2012 December holiday in Seychelles was definitely my highlight of 2012, all thanks to Seyvillas who facilitated reservations for accommodation and transfers. To the Seyvillas team... cheers, your services are impeccable.

    I would recommend anyone to you and I will definitely choose you the many other times I intend to travel to Seychelles. Have a wonderful and successful year ahead.

    We had a fabtastic holiday/vacation at Syechelles during last week of Dec 2012. Seyvillas have been very professional. Francesca helped me a lot searching a suitable serviced apartment for me as per my budget. La Villa in Glacis, Mahe (Seychlles) was great. We stayed there from 26th Dec '12 till 1st Jan 2013. Outstanding hospitality from the owners of La Villa. I have been to many places round the world and stayed in many hotels/apartments but La Villas was the best. Coming to Seyvillas, just be rest assured that all things will fall in place once Francesca (or any representative from their side) takes it over. They have also been very adjusting with regard to my payments and a million thanks to them. My family and myself are in love with Seychelles and thanks to Seyvillas. Anytime, anyday will fall back to you guys whenever we plan Seychelles next time (or any other place for that matter).
