    WiFi a bit patchy but manageable. Nothing else really - I enjoyed this place best of the three places we stayed in the Seychelles.

    Beautiful colonial style property with lovely rooms that had a balcony - definitely go for a sea view room though! Nice breakfast included - served. Nice pool and right on the beach, so it's easy to walk to places. Also a couple of supermarkets just a few mins walk away, which was convenient.

    The hotel is a really beautiful house with stunning sea views and excellent access to the beach. Breakfast was generous and varied, and we were even treated to dinner on one of the days. The manager and staff were exceptionally attentive, making our stay truly enjoyable.

    Beau vallon beach stay

    A little more options for breakfast would have been perfect. But we did get eggs toast juice fruit pancake and sausages so cannot complain.

    The construct of the place is like a historical villa. Amazing interiors with a grand staircase that gives a royal look to the place. The location is right on the beach and also walkable to the main road of beau vallon with all the shops and restaurants. Chobi the caretaker and Peter the manager were very helpful and made our stay very comfortable. We were served an alcoholic welcome drink which was a first for me. Budget wise place was not very expensive compared to the hotels but more than the self catering apartments.

    It's a gorgeous mansion at the beach with a beautiful swimming pool. The rooms are well equipped, beautiful and has a huge bathroom and a balcony with see view and the air-condition is well positioned. I definitely recommend it.

    Unfortunately the building is not taking care of. Our bed was falling apart and was really soft. A new mattress would be great. For a five star rating the amenities in the bathroom were really cheap and there was almost no water pressure in the shower so that the rain shower was useless. This place could be such a perfect place if someone would renovate it with passion. Everything is just a bit outdated and outworn. The AC in the middle of the room was really loud at night so that we couldn’t sleep.

    The building from the outside and the location right next to the beach are perfect. It is a perfect place for sundowns. The pool is huge and the view from the terrace is also really nice. The staff is friendly and welcoming. They offered us a nice taxi driver and contact for car rental with delivery at the hotel.

    The atmosphere of this place is unique. A beautiful colonial-style villa with a swimming pool, right on the beach. Surrounded by greenery, the sound of the ocean and several good restaurants along the beach. We recommend ordering dinner at the hotel, Chhabie makes wonderful dishes. You can rent a car on site.

    Home-like experience in Seychelles

    As mentioned – some of the furniture in the room is somewhat old. So is bathroom (with a very noisy fan).

    This place feels like visiting your family summer house. It feels so cozy and home-like that you can easily accept its sometimes old furniture or bathroom. The breakfast was very basic (eggs, yogurt and vegetables). Rooms were cleaned. AC was working properly. Location is outstanding. The garden opens into the ocean, you may walk there barefooted before breakfast. Water and the beach are superb.

    Nothing.

    The villa was charming. It was the only one of its kind in the area and many tourists walking along the beach stopped to take pictures of it. The feeling of the 30s of the 20th century - with old but very well saved furniture, old photographs, interior items. Good size, clean pool. Great breakfast. Very pleasant villa owner. We had a late flight and were kindly allowed to stay in the villa territory until the evening. We had a very pleasant stay at this villa and if we ever come back to Mahe, Seychelles, we will definitely choose this beautiful place!
