Not a good experience
The hotel either had a system issue or canceled our paid booking accidentally. As a result we were waiting the entire afternoon in the lobby being told repeatedly “sorry we are having no room.” There seemed to be a hope but then again “sorry we have no room.” Extremely suffering. Finally they got us a room newly renovated with bathroom leaking.

Lovely location, easy walk along the beach and to local restaurants. Staff were very helpful and friendly, allowed us to access to business lounge when we arrived early and allowed late checkout and use of facilities while we waited for our departing flight. Breakfast buffet had a large variety of great food. Overall the perfect end to our Seychelles holiday.

Fantastic location
The hotel is in a perfect location right on the beach and just a few minutes walk from supermarkets and restaurants. The hotel has great facilities but is looking a little tired hence the refurbishment of one section of the hotel. There are building works going on 7 days per week but they operate after 9am and finish about 5pm. This didnt impact our stay as we were out during these times. The staff are amazing so helpful and friendly especially Kylie and 2 gentleman in Housekeeping. Really had a lovely time and would definitely return to this hotel

Things you should know from Hotels.com
Three things put the dampers on this hotel. Firstly, it would have been nice to know with the present conflicts that the hotel is Russian owned. There are all nationalities on holiday here and it didn't cause any conflict but it would have be good to have been given the knowledge prior to booking. Secondly, it would have been good to know that part of the hotel was being extensively refurbished creating noise throughout the day. This wasn't noticeable by the pool etc but could be heard in your room during the day, which isn't ideal if you like to retire from the midday sun. Not my idea of paradise. Thirdly, the hotel is very dated. It may have been a 3 start plus 15-20 years ago but the place is very dated, particularly the bedrooms. On the plus side the staff are excellent. I was traveling solo and it's really great when they take the time to say hello and ask how you are etc. They are a credit to the hotel and island. The rooms and hotel are cleaned regularly to a good standard. Breakfast is a bit random self service where every nationality is being attempted to cater for but not quite achieving it. I heard from guests on half board basis that the evening meals were a lot better standard. The restaurant is a great location onto the front so you can see and hear the waves as they lap up less than 3 meters away. Why spoil that in a morning by playing recorded piano music i don't know. For me, it doesn't make the hotel restaurant sophisticated but like an elevator to escape

The beach and the location of the hotel is good; besides that the food is terrible, the check-in experience was terrible, the hotel needs much repair/maintenance (tv turns on and off on its own, shower releases hot and cold water interchangeably when taking a shower, etc).

Beautiful beach, great staff, decent buffet breakfast, don’t eat at the ocean deck or the sushi place, tend to run out of towels in the afternoon at the pool. Would consider staying here again. Best beach view in Beau Vallon. Lots of good places to eat nearby and small supermarkets. Area is very walkable and safe.

We had the best holiday. The hotel is right on the beach and also has a pool. We stayed on an half board basis so had to buy water which was expensive. Food is great each night was a different theme in the buffet. You also have the option to eat in the sushi and Indian restaurants on site.

Good and Awesome hote,. It was the second stay.
It was the second stay since 2014. The staff was always gentle and kind too much. Explain all things about the hotel and environments of Seychelles. The wedding ceremony was held on it Saturday. The parking lot was too crowded, but the staff of the parking place helped me kindly. The room has some smells like burnt Indian scent sticks. But Location, Price, and Kindness could cover that smell. The breakfast in the Buffet restaurant was good. I strongly recommend this hotel. I will use it again when I revisit it.
