I was very satisfied when I booked the trip. The responses came promptly and we were recommended a hotel on the right side of the island where it comes to the winds and the amount of seaweed. The transportations ran smoothly and on time. The only place where we were taken slightly to the wrong place was at La Digue and we never met the guide there. The chalets reception was not were the chalets are but on the next property and because there are no signs at the reception we could not find it and we had to wait for an hour until someone came to the chalets.

We loved the islands and recommend warmly an island hopping tour. It felt as if we had three different holidays.
The islands are so different.
Villa Belle Plage (Praslin)The absolute favourite of our stay. A place where you can totally relax and read a book at the beach directly in front of your villa. The beach was wonderful for swimming and in January there was no seaweed. It felt as if you were on a private beach even though there are other villas on the beach. There's a lot of vegetation that gives privacy and shade. The sounds of the waves were so soothing. The villas were nearly new and fully equipped. Cleaning service every day and towels and beach towels were provided. The owners are so nice. The supermarket is near (10 minutes walk). We rented a car for one day and managed 4 days without. You can even walk to Anse Georgette from here.
O'Soleil Chalets (La Digue)The chalets are located in a lush garden. The two smaller chalets are in seperate bungalows that are behind the two larger ones that are in a semi-detached building in front of them when you enter the garden. The place was clean and the bedroom AC was very good. We were in a smaller (60m2) chalet. The bed is not normal width and was a bit squeaky every time you turned. This place was much warmer than our villa at Praslin because it was in a garden and not by the sea. The villa is fully equipped and there was a freezer and a possibility to make ice cubes. The beach is near but no seaview from any of the chalets. Very pleasant and helpful owners. Please note that the reception for the chalet is the next property towards La Digue harbour on the same side of the street as the chalets. There are no signs in front of it.
Clef des Iles (Mahé)This was probably the best location by the beach on Beau Vallon. You can go and swim directly from your room and this is not possible at any other place on this beach. So many people walked by and stared at the rooms of this house because it was so unbelievable. There is a double bedroom and a bedroom with two separate beds and a toilet upstairs. Both of the bedrooms have AC. The double bedroom has a balcony and stairs that go up to a tv-corner. The bed was very good. The kitchen, bathroom and a seperate toilet are downstairs with a small living room and the terrace. The terrace door has to be locked when you are not downstairs and you have to close it when you go to swim. The door was very stiff and I could not lock it without the help of my husband. The beach is public in front of the place and pretty much anyone can walk in if you leave the doors open and are not there yourself. Very clean accommodation and you can order breakfast if you want. Breakfast service begins at 8.30. There is a small supermarket near and all the other services are near. The stairs to the second floor are steep in a Dutch style. This place was SOOO nice.
Transfer
All transfers were on time and ran smoothly. On La Digue we were taken directly to the O'Soleil chalets, not the reception where the owners live.
We had to wait for an hour before we found anyone because we did not know where the owners lived and could not find anyone. We were there at 10.30 am, but because we could not find anyone, we could not leave our bags unattended and go and kill time at the beach and had to wait at the hot garden. - 15.01.2019 20:31Milan

Villa Verte (La Digue)Everything was perfect but Wi-Fi was horrible and ants were really annoying. Owner was very friendly and nice as well.

Excellent service, always helpful.
Holiday on the Seychelles
This was our second visit to these beautiful islands, and after this, we still can't get enough. Definetely coming back again.
Island Bungalow (La Digue)What a beautiful little piece of paradise. Very clean, cozy little villa and friendly, helpful staff. Relaxing vacation started every morning with good breakfast. Thank you for a lovely stay! <3

Very helpful, answering within few minutes, providing all the information about the stay and the accomodation before the answer was even asked;) the website is very clear and payment for the booking can be split into two payments what makes the all process more customer friendly
Holiday on the Seychelles
Paradiseeeeee.....sun, beach, marvellous and picturesque rocks, giant turtles and trips on the bicycles. The habitants of the island are very friendly, local shops with reasonable prices ( for example 0,5l coca cola aprox 2.5eur) We were planning to snorkle but with all those waves it was very dofficilt and rather dangerous ( and you also need to be carefull about the small rocks under you feet when you step into the water) A bit dissapointed with the world’s most famous beach Anse d’argent- the grass growing under the water makes it look dirty and definitely too many people around.. fortunately La Digue offers so many wonderful places with sand and water so everybody find their favourite beach:)
Patatran Village Hotel (La Digue)MARVELOUSSS!!!! Rooms are very spacious, muuuch bigger than most of the hotels we have visited before, staff extremely helpful and making your stay even more relaxing ( we were offered a late check out without any additional fee), restaurant with reasonable prices(dinner for two aprox 50eur) superb location! Definitely the most beautiful spot in the island:)

The reservation process, and the communication were proessional!
Holiday on the Seychelles
We had luck about the weather, just a little rain just nights...
The people, the flora, the sea, the athmosphere of the islands was gorgeous.
There are many tourists, but not on the shore, so like an untouched nature.
Maison du Soleil (Praslin)The owner of the house, and the family was very helpful, and kind. The house type, the view, was great, but the equipment are old, rusty, and dirty. The house was untidy. We couldn't cook anything in the kitchen, because of the ugly, and dirty pans, and accessories. If it would be cleaned, would be nice place. :-(

The service offered was exactly as expected. Information was prompt and accurate.
Holiday on the Seychelles
The culture and nature were very impressive. We enjoyed the new experiences of living and eating with the locals. We had a great choice of things to do with some great scenery.
Villa Roscia (Mahé)Before we booked we read many great comments about how the owners did that little bit more than expected to assist their guests. This was exactly what we experienced. The accommodation was very clean and our room was always made up each day. We asked for assistance to hire a car for 1 day and within 2 hours there was one sitting outside for us to use. One example of the attention to detail was on out checkout day we had a very early collection to go to the airport. We were given a "breakfast bag" which was really thoughtful. The sunset views on the terrace where brilliant and the breakfasts in the morning will always be remembered.
Transfer
The transfers to and from the airport were good and on time. The drivers were friendly and gave good information while we travelled.

SeyVillas made my booking experience very easy. I found all my required accommodations all under one roof.
Holiday on the Seychelles
The Seychelles is so much like the Caribbean in culture and climate, but that much nearer to Europe by plane. The population were of mixed ethnic groups and were all so friendly. All the islands have so many wonderful beaches, the wildlife is just there waiting to be photographed, and there is history everywhere from slavery to missionaries, from French colonialism to English colonialism to independence. It is all there in the Seychelles. The only downside is that for snorkelers, a lot of the coral is dead or dying, but fish still remain in the area. Many Lemon sharks and rays can be seen and we were lucky enough to see a turtle making her way back to the water after laying her eggs at the top of the beach.
Hanneman Holiday Residence (Mahé)Nice clean residence with swimming pool and within a short walk to Beau Vallon beach and the local market.
The Beach House (Mahé)A gem of a place just across from the top of Beau Vallon beach and a bus-stop to Victoria almost outside the gate. Lovely caring staff offering help with laundry and directions. They even put mosquito repellant burners outside the rooms in the evening to prevent you from getting bitten. Breakfast is basic choice but adequate given the warm climate. We would happily stay here again.

Helpfulness of staff, ease of website to make your own dream holiday. The professional service highly appreciated. In addition, staff was looking after us and our satisfaction all along. Work well done on a tailored service
Holiday on the Seychelles
Absolute must see Praslin island due to the friendliness of people, the cleanliness and also the nature that protect.
The destinations as a whole we think is heaven.
YASAD Luxury Beach Residence (Praslin)Personnel was welcoming and friendly. Perfect service and location. Beach is in arm's length.
Pension Fidele (La Digue)It was inconvenient since construction was taking place and noisier than expected for a holiday and relaxation. Hospitality of staff was unwelcoming
Choice Villa (Mahé)Very kind staff and nice service. The apartment is spacious.
Transfer
Very accurate and professional service. With so many transfers there was no error or delay- very well organised

After much research we decided with booking accommodation and transfers through Seyvillas. We are from the UK and can honestly say the service from enquiry through to the whole holiday experience has been exceptional.
The ease of site, booking the days you want under island hopping and the accommodation choices based in budget was outstanding.once initial enquiry was raised response received with 12 hours with confirmation of availability. Streamlined service for payments and prompt communication in relation to vouchers, transfer times, fast ferry options. Thank you Seyvillas, would definitely recommend you to anyone travelling to the Seychelles that wants flexibility outside of the normal package company restraints.Holiday on the Seychelles
Wonderful..we went straight to Praislin after landing, onto La Dique and then to Mahe. Fabulous location, and people. Would recommend hiing a car on Praislin and Mahe. Its the only way to see the islands and experience the real culture of the islands. Worth mentioning that although you can build a holiday based in budget it is expensive when there.
Berjaya Praslin Resort (Praslin)Excellent location at end if road in Anse Colbert Cote d'or. Minute from beautiful beach and shops restaurants. We booked a Deluxe room, worth extra. Great buffet breakfast with lots of choice, small pool but ideal for end of day swim and drink at pool bar. Pizzeria on beach very good for cool drink or food with great staff. Room was large but shower over bath had to be removed from bracket however it didn't spoil experience or location.
La Diguoise (La Digue)Fabulous...tropical oasis in the sun. Although 500m down a track from road, beautiful place with large gardens well looked after and a great pool. Perfect for a stop during the island cycling especially in the heat. Elody the owner ensured everything was cared for, from details of island, arranging cycles to be delivered and although only had eve ing meal once outstanding food. Perfect location as very close to L'union estate and Anse Source d'Argent.
Bliss Hotel (Mahé)Great place on the beach. We had a garden villa but was upgraded to a sea view garden room on arrival. Steep steps up to garden rooms and pool, however quiet and if out most of day not an issue. Breakfast was included, ok not too much choice but ample to start day. We didn't east in the buffet but Rockppol Bar and restaurant next door. Great atmosphere and location. Supermarket although small a couple of minutes walk. Great beach and snorkelling and view across to Silhouette. Sunsets amazing. Would recommend hiring a car
Transfer
Excellent all transfers were managed efficiently, staff to meet at each arrival and transfers back to jetty and airport.very helpful staff friendly and efficient.
Thank you for everything...it made the whole experience exceptional - 26.11.2018 10:46Robin
SeyVillas and all its staff have been excellent from the very start of our booking and right through our trip to the Seychelles.
The staff were extremely helpful and informative with our booking. Any questions were answered very quickly.
The location of our guest house in La Digue was perfect and SeyVillas sets excellent standards with there listed properties and local people.Holiday on the Seychelles
The Seychelles is a magical location, with amazing local Creole food, fantastic beaches and interesting Jungles.
The locals of the Seychelles were very helpful and friendly people, always helpful with advise when needed.
Buisson Guest House (La Digue)Doris and Charles run one of the very best accommodations I have had the pleasure of visiting around the world ( I do travel a great deal !) The welcome by Charles at the local jetty was unexpected and much appreciated. The Guest house is set in some wonderful gardens, full of beautiful local birds ! The facilities and our room were spotless, a real credit to all the hard work and attenshion to detail by this couple. The breakfast were amazing, a wide variety of fresh fruits, pancakes, eggs and local fresh bread made an excellent start to the day. Charles was also very helpful sorting out bicycles for us which made getting around La Digue very easy. A fantastic Guest House run by a fantastic couple.

Booking was easy, information sent through was comprehensive and everything was slick.
Holiday on the Seychelles
Eating out was a bit expensive but always good, the people were friendly and the hotels excellent. La Digue was so relaxed although I would recommend taking torches for the evenings as the streets were unlit and none of the bikes seemed to have lights. Mahé was quite busy by comparison!
Coco de Mer & Black Parrot Suites (Praslin)We particularly liked the nature trail and we also had a cocktail lesson there. It’s not something they do regularly but they they are thinking of doing it as an option. The staff were very good, the hotel lovely. It was a little remote from the rest of the island though. Perhaps next time we would choose somewhere nearer a town.
La Diguoise (La Digue)Such beautiful gardens. Elodie was so helpful and the food delicious (especially her homemade jams). Hi
Valmer Resort (Mahé)The pools were both good, one with great views and the other quieter.
Transfer
The transfers all worked really well but the one on Mahé from the ferry to Valmer was in an old bus that rattled a lot and the driver drove quite quickly.

Seyvillas were able to recommend the best locations depending on the season and picked very suitable accommodation for our needs. They responded promptly to any emails and it was all seamless.
Holiday on the Seychelles
Amazing destination...didn't know paradise existed until we visited the Seychelles
Hotel L'Archipel (Praslin)Loved the boutique nature of this hotel. Food was excellent, room enormous although a little dated. Beach was fantastic and we loved having breakfast on the beach
Large resort style hotel. Rooms modern and clean. However, we couldn't swim in the sea during our stay due to red flags and the food was a bit bland and mass produced.
Transfer
Everything went smoothly

Seyvillas funciona bastante bien para reservar hoteles y alquilar coches. Tardan un poco en contestar pero no mucho y la oferta que tienen es muy buena

Impresionantes playas y rutas
The Beach House (Mahé)Muy agradable alojamiento. Las habitaciones son funcionales pero agradables, amplias y limpias. La localización es muy conveniente. Justo enfrente de la playa (hay que cruzar una carretera) y a un paseo de la zona de bares de Beau Vallon. El desayuno completo y fresco. El equipo muy agradable y servicial. Tiene espacio para aparcar dentro del recinto.

Excellent from start to finish,island hopping needs many transfers etc.but everything worked without a hitch.
Holiday on the Seychelles
Wonderful place,climate,surroundings,people,food unbeatable.
Paradise Sun Hotel (Praslin)Nice friendly hotel,good beach and swimming (despite some seaweed problems ) Great bar and bar-staff,our favorite apero spot of the holiday! Excellent spa.
Le Domaine de L'Orangeraie (La Digue)Stunning hotel,the greeting on arrival set the tone.Fantastic room right in the jungle,great food and service and a lovely spa.They don`t have a good beach but make it up with their ``beach harbour`` and a superb pool area.Quite expensive but it was so good it did`nt seem to matter!
Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa (Silhouette Island)Beautiful beach villa and great beach and swimming but some disappointing aspects.Generally a bit run-down and in need of a facelift.We thought they took too much advantage of their exclusive position eg.no walking outside the resort allowed without an expensive guide,no access to the village shop,charges for bike hire (one could only ride around the resort !) and minigolf etc.etc.For an average meal for two in the Japanese restaurant we paid 350.-Swiss francs! Of course, we still had a good time there (the streetfood evening was excellent ) but of the three hotels,this is the least likely that we would go back to.
Transfer
Everything worked like clockwork, one delay of 45 minutes sitting in the bus on arrival at Mahe airport probably caused by other passengers,otherwise excellent.One even started to enjoy the rugby scrum of reclaiming luggage after each ferry transfer!

Surf Tropical Villa (Takamaka Beach Villas) (Cerf Island)Loved the villa with all the required items, Rooms , kitchen are pretty clean and also with kitchen utensils which are required but one rice cooker was missing. But anyway we managed with other utensils. Awesome place to stay and hear the beautiful songs of birds and the view of the cloud covered Mahe island was superb , loved the island with very less people and privacy.

Organizing our honeymoon with Seyvillas was a perfect decision. Great communication, prompt answers and quick reply to our inquiries among other positive aspects such as a wonderful webpage for organizing island hopping around Seychelles. Thank you for making our honeymoon true!!!
Holiday on the Seychelles
Paradise on earth... landscapes, beaches, food, exotic fauna and flora. In order of preference, Mahe, Praslin and La Digue. Be ready for some action in case of renting a car!
Valmer Resort (Mahé)Our stay in the Pool Villa was such an amazing experience! Perfect room and amenities as well as the hotel in general. Friendly staff, awesome breakfast and dinner buffet. Spa highly recommended as well as the beach nearby, Baie St. Lazaire (so far the best during our stay in Seychelles!!)
Patatran Village Hotel (La Digue)Unfortunately our stay in La Digue and in the Honeymoon Suite was not as expected... Facilities of the hotel old fashioned, they do not have a club car and almost all of the rooms are up in a hill. We rented bikes and they were terrible! No maintenance so far, even had an accident because of the brakes. Be prepared for cockroaches at night if you stay up in the hill. The breakfast was the worst of our sta in Seychelles, as well as the dinner we had there... At least the beach nearby the hotel was beautiful.
Chalets Cote Mer (Praslin)Nice surprise staying here, great price / quality and highly recommended. Awesome staff and really good dinner! Also the pool and the views are really nice, plus its location next to the harbour. I would recommend Cote Mer for a pleasant stay in Praslin
Transfer
Everything OK with the transfers. Punctual, confortables and on time all of them

Villa Creole (La Digue)Friendly and helpful staff and great to be so close to the beach. Lots of local restaurants and supermarkets within easy cycling and walking distance Felt we were in the heart of the island
Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa (Silhouette Island)Loved this resort with its gorgeous long beach and the hotel's efforts with sustainability. Lovely pool and great choice of restaurants. Great service and friendly staff

All very efficient from beginning to end.

Excellent
Holiday on the Seychelles
Nice place, lovely people
My only comment is regarding food options: as a place in a island, I expected much more seafood options for either appetizers and main courses, mainly in the beach bar/restaurant. But all other attractions in the resort are very good.
- 25.07.2018 22:54Madeleine
It was very nice to get the helpful information beforehand from Seyvillas (packing list etc).
Holiday on the Seychelles
It's an absolutely beautiful place. I loved the beaches of course, the glorious sea, the lush tropical landscape, and the (mostly ) laid back people. My favourite island was La Digue, it felt so unspoilt. Beau Vallon seemed big and commercial in comparison, but it had other charms; people watching on the beach, the closeness to Victoria, the Wednesday market.
The Beach House (Mahé)The Beach House was made very special by the kindness and personal care of Cecile. The room was very big and had everything I needed, and it was great to hear and see the sea from my veranda. Jayda cooked me a beautiful meal one evening.
