Communication was good once we began to speak to each other by email but I was under the understanding that confirmation would be within 24 hours then find that the acceptance of the booking was within 24 hours and then I was told that I would hear within 3 days if it was confirmed. As this was a late booking this was no good and so, through email communication, we managed to get it confirmed in the following 24hours.
Holiday on the Seychelles
We saw only 3 of the islands but thought they were all delightful. La Digue was a little disturbing in terms of the local hospitality in some cases being rather resentful. Otherwise both other islands most hospitable.
Cote D'Or Chalets (Praslin)Disappointing. The chalet smelt musty when we arrived and didn't appear to have been aired before arrival. The receptionist seemed insistant that we needed to book all of our requirements, tours, car hire etc through her and this was all before we had been shown to our room. Whilst some of the kitchen fridge, crockery, pots and pans etc appeared to be new the bathroom felt like it needed an upgrade and we did not get hot water for any of our showers during our 4 day stay. We were told that this was due to the weather however, after day 1 the sun was shining constantly. On day 2 we were asked if it was ok if our room wasn't serviced as they were short staffed. We did agree as we felt sorry for the reception lady as she said she was going to have to service the room, but it is not what we expected for the price we had paid for the room. The location is great, just a few minutes walk from a lovely stretch of the beach and with shops nearby if self-catering.

Always quick and informative response.
Holiday on the Seychelles
Lovely country with beautiful nature and kind people.
Villa Roscia (Mahé)Flawless service. Owner really did his best to make us feel comfortable. Due to a misunderstanding, we were about to miss our flight to our next destination but he really did everything possible to make it in time to the airport. Very impressive!

Very good and helpful with timely responses
Holiday on the Seychelles
The vibe, friendly people generally helpful and relaxed in a tropical paradise
Coco de Mer & Black Parrot Suites (Praslin)Clean, generally helpful staff, I have dietary requirements and they changed menus to suit, lovely location quite remote but we preferred that.
Le Surmer (La Digue)We loved La Digue, and La Surmer was equally laid back, more basic but large spacious villas that some might say needed updating but we enjoyed the laid back vibe, Great location.
Le Relax Hotel & Restaurant (Mahé)Very poor, rooms were old, shower curtain and bathroom very tired and dirty we believe the bathroom smelled of sewerage. Water in hallway was left for sometime, ashtrays unemptied and Staff appeared disinterested. food was VERY disappointing although they did try to adapt breakfast arrangements because of our early start, it was a poor end to a wonderful holiday.
Transfer
Generally excellent, we shared a transit at the end and appeared to have been told the wrong pick up time that meant others were waiting for us.....otherwise generally very efficient

Very happy with all my interactions with the staff there. Each time I asked for anything, the reply was prompt and helpful.
Holiday on the Seychelles
Loved the Seychelles, the natural beauty is unmatched.
Villa Dorado (Mahé)Breakfast was great, always served with a smile. My room was lovely, large and clean. The beach is great for swimming during high tide.
Patatran Village Hotel (La Digue)I stayed in the honeymoon suite which was it's own separate little villa. It surpassed my expectations. The location is very pretty, the breakfast was good and evening meals too. Entertainment on Thursday night really let you get a feel for the locals.
Palm Beach Hotel (Praslin)The staff here is wonderful, breakfast buffet is good. I liked my room, it was very clean and quiet there.

Quick and friendly and helpful.
Holiday on the Seychelles
3rd time there...stilll the paradise from earlier days...though the number of tourists seems to have tripled it is still
chilled and relaxed.
The Beach House (Mahé)Cecil is the best...even drove me to the dentist;-)) Best value for money!!! We miss the nights on the veranda across the beach...we will be back!!!
Le Relax Luxury Lodge (La Digue)If you prefer to stay away from people this might be the place for you, too. Just six rooms/villas equals to max 12 people that might cross your way. You need to rent bikes though...it’s a 10 minutes ride to the Jetty and La Passe. The staff is small and very forthcoming...make you feel “home” very quickly.
Coral Strand (Mahé)Perfect location, great staff, good food for moderate prices (for Seychelles). Great for families with children, too.

The service is totally OK, not extremely good but fear enough. Few points I would do better: For this week, they did not give new shapoo and I was run out of shampoo in two last days. Some morning there were some lack of items on breakfast like no coffe cuops, pancaces were finished. Extra positive points for shef making excellent omelets!

Extraordinary service
Holiday on the Seychelles
Fantastic nature clean waters spectacular wildlife and the friendliest most happy and helpful people on this planet❤️
Hotel La Roussette (Mahé)Ok for our purpose a good solution
Bird Island Seychelles (Bird Island)Must return!!! Stunning exotic ( but we love birds even the noise❤️) food could be a little bit tastier which is reason for four stars
Pegasus Cruise (Variety Garden of Eden 7 nights) (Seychelles)Perfect in all respects Perhaps there would be time to tell a bit more of the history of the Seychelles- I am certain it would be appreciated Fantastic food but each serving could be a bit smaller, feels awful to leave on the plate

A quiet, relaxed holiday destination, though quite expensive
Berjaya Praslin Resort (Praslin)Hotel overall, value for moneyservice, but level quite weak
Le Repaire Boutique Hotel (La Digue)small pleasant hotel, stylish newly renovated room
Avani+ Barbarons Seychelles (Mahé)Good hotel. dinner on the standing table was good. The price of the hotel was overvalued

Transportation was just fine. The only chaos of ships leaving at the quayside

Service of SeyVillas was fantastisk. CreolTravel was everytime here where we arrived. It could not be better.
Holiday on the Seychelles
We think Praslin and La Digue er the best places in the world if you like to be on a beach. Everything is clean. A lot of fishes and corals. The water around Cerf was not so clear but there where small sharks and skates to see in the night. Not so good on Cerf was the low frequent sound day and night which came from the other side on Mahe. It looks bad for me with burning oil to make electric energy. We booked 4 nights and there was only one boat tour for free. I think we'll not return to Cerf.
Acquario Villa (Praslin)There is a neighbor with 3 dogs and sometimes a lot of noise. The road in front of the garden was a surprise. The apartment was very good.
Fleur de Lys (La Digue)Could not be better.
Fairy Tern (Cerf Island)The apartment was amazing. The owners were very nice.

everything was perfect

Very nice place and staff. Good breakfast. We are very satiesfied and can easily recomend the place to other.
Holiday on the Seychelles
Seychelles is fantastic - we have been here 4 times, so I dont think I need to say more. Mahe, Praslin and La Digue are the islands we have been visiting all 4 times. It is one thing which is sad - the traffic on La Digue :( We miss the oxcart. No it is too many and too big cars at this small Island - and some are driving really fast on the narrow roads......
The Beach House (Mahé)Small, but very clean, nice staff and nice sunset

The personnel at seyvillas did a brilliant job and i would recommend them to anyone.
Holiday on the Seychelles
this was my 5th trip to seychelles but it will probably be my last. It has changed for the worst in 2 aspects.
1. It has become far to expensive. My previous trip was 6 years ago and prices for everything has increased by 100-150% that is just daylight robbery. I personally dont understand how the locals with average jobs will be able to afford a living in the next few years if it keeps going at this rate.
2. To many foreigners. I am not talking about tourist but about foreigners living and working in seychelles. I have always felt welcome in the past by the locals as they are friendly and always willing to help and share a smile. But now as a tourist i have to deal with unfriendly non locals which i flooding to the seychelles. Especially beau vallon and victoria is the worst hit im my opinion.
Berjaya Beau Vallon Bay (Mahé)Probably one of the worst places i have stayed in on my travels. The hotel is in a bad state with maintenance needed on all fronts. The main restaurant serves food which is tasteless and not worth it for any prices. The staff is unfriendly and seems more like they are unhappy slaves then wanting to help and give a great service. Taking into account the price you pay there are much better accommodation for a better price.
Transfer
Friendly staff, excellent service.

All SeyVillas services went without any mistake.
Holiday on the Seychelles
Sechelles are most beautiful destination I ever seen. We tried almost all of 18 beaches on La Digue (for others I forgot climbing stuff home :/) and all of them gave us different experience. One is the best for photoshooting, other for swimming and other for shining. People are very friendly. Everybody makes your vacation perfect.
Chalet Bamboo Vert (La Digue)When somebody ask me where to stay on Seychelles I give them the one option and it's Chalet Bamboo Vert. There are few guesthouses with private terasse inside private area. The area is still clean cause when you sleep gardener (I think he calls Gerry) collect leafs, when you leave to the beach he cut grass so you don't have to hear it and cleaning ladies makes your appartement clean. So it's kind of magic when you leave a mess on your appartment and it's really clean when you come back. Breakfast and dinner - all ingredients was really fresh (I think they collect it on the way to kitchen from trees). Quality of meal was really high. Quantity - Once I tried to have a lunch, but when I saw so much food at dinner found out that was a big mistake. Huge thanks to our cooker and kitchen staff ;) And also huge thanks to manager - Selby who helped us to find our baggage and all other services which made our vacation amazing :)

Communication with the agency was highly responsive.
Holiday on the Seychelles
Seychelles are a pleasant destination for visit. The beaches are beautifully landscaped and clean, and on some of the beaches there was a lifeguard present. We were surprised at the orderliness of towns, and traffic is also very well organized. Seychelles are a place where you can feel safe and without worry, and forget about your everyday problems.

Seyvillas were very prompt with their reply and very helpful answering all the questions I had - I would definitely recommend them. They offer a range of Properties to cater for all groups and price points. We were very happy with our choice.
Holiday on the Seychelles
Seychelles is a great destination to visit - the people are very friendly and helpful, it is a very casual island outside of the big resort hotels. Visiting the Seychelles is not going to be a cheap holiday - but there are ways to enjoy the Island and not spend the earth. Staying in one of the options of accommodation provided by Seyvillas was a great way to keep the budget down - they have options that cater for all price-ranges. Also eating the local food is great - you will never taste fish as fresh as the ones caught each day by the local fishermen - they sell them on the side of the road and for a few Euros you can buy beautiful types of fresh fish (you need to know how to gut & clean a fish though - but don't let this put you off) - take it home and bar-b-que it, or make it into a curry with some local spices. Buy locally produced fruit and vegetables from the sellers on the side of the road also. Most definitely hire a car - this way you will be able to explore all of the Island - go off the beaten track and you will come across some of the most beautiful deserted beaches. The speed limit is 40kmph so driving is easy, although roads are thin and overtaking is impossible. Remember not to leave anything on view in your car as I believe theft is quite high. we were advised not to leave anything unattended on the Beach - which was a bit of a worry - but luckily we had no bad memories to take back from the Seychelles. The best Beach is Anse Intendance without a doubt - although there are no facilities (A Banyan Tree Hotel at one end and if your lucky a local man selling juices & cocktails at the other) - but the snorkelling here is great, the waves are fun (too dangerous to swim from June-September) and some sun shelter from over hanging Coconut Trees. Sit on the beach with a few cold beers (24 Rupees in the local Shops - anything from 65 - 105 Rupees in Bars & Restaurants) and watch the Sunset.
It is a magic island and we hope to visit again someday
South Point Chalets (Mahé)We were lucky as when we arrived our 1 Bed Villa had been overbooked - so we were given a 3 Bed House instead. This was in a lovely quiet location on the property with a big covered terrace to sit on in the evenings. This house was of a 2.5/3 star standard - it was cleaned every day by the wonderful Pascalina who gave us Fresh Towels when we needed them & Beach Towels were provided which really helped on the packing. With a little bit of effort and upgrading of some of the facilities the Ratings of this property could be improved. Windows that didn't shut meant that all sorts of creatures could get in - so be warned - but don't let this put you off. South Point Chalets is set inland with the morning crowing of the local Cockerel and the evening barking (and visits) of local Dogs - but this, together with the Restaurant opposite (who's food was excellent and worth visiting) which doubled as the Sunday Church - made for a very atmospheric stay. The location is perfect for exploring being situated in the South of the Island within a few minute drive to both the West and East Coasts and some of the best Beaches. The Manager Ronelle was not there so much but to be honest Pascalina answered any queries that we had. As I mentioned the Seychelles is expensive to eat out and on our first night we ate at the property - for €50 for 2 for the fish we later learnt to only cost €3 seemed extortionate - but it was nice to know that we would arrive to food on our first night and not have to fend for ourselves until we had got our bearings. All in All I would recommend staying at South Point Chalets - we stayed for 8 nights in February and the rate definitely helped us to keep the costs of our trip down.

Everything was excellent on the SeyVillas services from the booking of the trip via web page
and email communication to the actual holiday trip and arrangements during it.Holiday on the Seychelles
Seychelles certainly did have those paradise locations what we came to see and experience for.
We liked the creole food and mostly also enjoyed the people's hospitality. In some places we
did not quite get the usual friendly service.
Berjaya Beau Vallon Bay (Mahé)Transfers to and from accommodation were excellent. The service from the resort staff lacked friendliness and promptness. E.g. when we arrived we got a room only at 2pm and then the room that we got was in the condition that the previous guests had left it. So it was not cleaned at all. Eventually we got a new room instead but we were weary from the long travel to Seychelles so we would have liked to have a smooth and friendly wellcome.
Le Relax Beach Resort (Praslin)Transfers to and from accommodation were excellent. Very friendly staff and excellent food. Seems like the smaller the accommodation the better the service. Beautiful location with garden and superb beach.
La Diguoise (La Digue)Transfers to and from accommodation were again excellent. Very friendly staff and excellent food. Again seems like the smaller the accommodation the better the service. Beautiful location with garden.

Transfers services were excellent throughout our holiday.

Everything worked fine
Holiday on the Seychelles
Closest place to Paradise I have been
Crown Beach Hotel (Mahé)A wonderfull resort where we enjoyed a very relaxing and pleasant stay for almost a week.
Villa Bananier (Praslin)Everything we needed was present. We had 4 great days on Praslin.
Le Relax Hotel & Restaurant (Mahé)We only stayed one night in the Relax hotel. A bit isolated place, we had a room that obvious was not cleaned after the last inhabitants. The sheets in the bed were dirty, used tissues between the sheets, pencil capsule on the small bed table and papers in the bathroom closet. After our call the sheets were replaced, but not after some critical questons were asked. We arrived between 3 and 4 pm and needed a bed for one night because our plane was leaving next morning. But still the person responsible asked whether we made the stains ourselves, and why did not we notice the stains earlier? The pillows and duvet cover did not need change according to this representative. In the restaurant they could not serve fresh juice because the machine was broken. Same story for the capucino: machine broken. Next morning we told again our complaints during check out. After half an hour the manager proposed a deduction of 10% of our dining bill of € 60,-. We paid the dining bill in full of course. Maybe we had a very bad moment in the life of this hotel. But when I compare the Relax with the other hotels we visited on the Seychelles I dare say that management is not very present.

Must say I'm more than pleased with the service we got from the SeyVillas: from the first contact by e-mail to the actual journey with the transportation from the airport to the hotel and to the next destination. And the hotel we were recommended by the SeyVillas was lovely!
Holiday on the Seychelles
Paradise! Worth waiting for definitely: friendly people, good food, not too many tourists...loved it.
Dhevatara Beach Hotel (Praslin)As I mentioned before: Hotel Dhevatara was great! Manager Rene and his staff were friendly and knew what they were doing, so it was easy to enjoy and relax during our stay. Really felt cosy...with luxury touch :-).
Transfer
Transfer service was great: always in time and friendly. We didn't have to take care of anything else than just be in the right place at the right time. Thank you so much!!!

Holiday on the Seychelles
Amazing beaches! Fun to drive around the island and find your own private beach for the day.
La Casa Grande (Praslin)Villa La Casa Grande is in a fantastic location. Very large and spacious. We were disappointed that for the price we paid that simple things such as a fan in the fairly hot living room were not offered. The lighting in the bedroom was not very ideal. Also, they could have included at least 1 gb of internet as that only cost a extremely small fraction of what we paid for the week. Also, the drinking water tank was only half full upon arrival and we were asked to pay for another. When we explained that we only received a half full water bottle for the water cooler they did promptly purchase and deliver a new one for us. The person that manages the property stops by twice a day, which once again at the price we were paying seemed to be slightly intrusive. Though, they were very kind and made sure our needs were met. We appreciated that the home came with some basic food for cooking. The villa was fairly clean and well maintained. The distance to the beach is not a very comfortable walk as the hills are extremely steep, so we were glad we had a car. Do note that there is a small hotel next door and a home on the other side of the villa that play extremely loud music. Sometimes this happens till late into the night. There is also a group of Rastas that hold a service up the hill and play music. Just be aware that while this is a fairly secluded location, it is not quiet (out of the control of the owner).

Easy booking process, quick replies and updated offers. Really easy way of booking all at once from one place.
Holiday on the Seychelles
Great destination for families and everyone who enjoys nature & beauty of the islands. Diving is also great. As a negative is the terrible and overpriced food, so self-catering is a good option. La Digue is definetly my favorite of the islands.
La Diguoise (La Digue)Beautyful guesthouse with excellent service. We had to change room because of loud neighbours, but it was all well handled.
STORY Seychelles (Mahé)Nice 5 star resort, service not the standard it should be, but overall a really nice resort
Transfer
Everything as booked, some of the vehicles were a bit outdated and did not feel safe
