    It’s small island and the first impression is that you spend time out of the people. It’s not true, there is plenty of tours coming to the island every single day. It’s not a problem but it’s not a place you can feel like the edge of the world.

    Service on the highest level, cuisine, staff.

    Quiet, refined yet rustic luxury a short boat-ride away from Mahe, great for a romantic retreat.

    Access to some of the neighboring islands requires pre-planning; that's not the hotels fault, but just something to keep in mind. I don't have much negative to say though. The gym is a bit too basic, could be better equipped, and a few more wellness activities / offerings might be nice considering the island is well situated and a peaceful place for things like yoga and meditation.

    Great breakfast (probably the best we've had in the Seychelles) and restaurant, helpful staff and organized systems, high-end, boutique, quiet luxury. This is a rare and special resort and we really enjoyed our stay here. I think they undersell the location and the beach that's in and adjacent to the hotel... the sand bar that's visible during low tide lets you walk across to another island, which is a bucket list experience with beautiful clear water and pristine sand. This is a quiet, private resort, don't expect nightlife or loud energy, it's for connecting with your guests and nature, in rustic yet high-end luxury. The boat service makes commuting back and forth to Mahe quite easy. Bhuwan was extremely accommodating and supportive, and their Whatsapp-based comms and room service system lets you get anything you need with just a message. Imagine being in a remote island in a marine national park but also just 10 mins away from the main island of the Seychelles... kind of an island experience they've created here.

    Nothing really, as we liked everything about the resort. Smaller technical issues were fixed, so everything was good. The breakfast menu could be a little bit bigger but on the other hand everything was made fresh, so no complains here. If there is one thing I could think of to improve, is to clean the beaches every morning, but I understand this would require additional personnel resources. One important note to potential visitors: please note that ALL beaches on the Seychelles are open to the public. There is no such thing as a "private" beach. Hence it can happen that especially on public holidays and on weekends local Seychellois and tourists come by boat and visit the beaches, where they have lunch and listen to music. We knew this beforehand, so where not affected. If you happen to be on JEIR on a "special" day I would recommend going on a tour in the afternoon to another island so you can avoid the peak time. It is my understanding that JA are doing their best to keep the visits by boat civil and are working closely with the local authorities. And no worries, other people cannot and are not allowed to enter the JA premises.

    We had a wonderful stay at the JA Enchanted Island Resort. This little island is truly unique and offers great privacy and a very athmospheric setting. It is settled in the middle of the Saint-Anne Marine National Park with beautiful sea and nature. Some highlights: - staff & service: very polite and helpful, special thanks to Ahmed and David - we enjoyed some great conversations. We could feel that the people working at this resort are happy with what they do. - Private pool villa: outstanding set-up of the villa, embedded in the middle of greenery and on a small hill, overlooking the ocean. Superb pool with great views and water quality. Big terrasse to enjoy oneself. Showers, toilette and bath tub outside on the upper terrasse- an amazing experience! We have been to quite a few destinations, but this villa was definately something different and we liked it a lot! One could easily stay the whole day there and have a great time. - Beach: the beautiful sandbank when the tide is low is just an eye-catcher, post-card worthy! Two island that can be visited easily (Moyenne and Long, either by kajak/swimmung/foot). Pristine sea colors and little hidden beaches around the island worth exploring. - Spa: we loved the spa treatment, it really helped us to relax. The set up was great as well. - Sundowner bar: very cool spot where you can enjoy yourself with a cool cocktail and watch the sunset. Also the romantic heart is located there. - Food: all in all the food was very good, and the local cuisine was tasty. - "Floating Breakfast": have a breakfast basket floating in the pool was a cool experience, definately recommend it. - Romantic dinner: this one was really special and the menu as well as service was pretty nice. I wished we could stay longer so we decided that we definately need to come back. I can recommend JEIR to anyone who wants to have a special vacation on the Seychelles! This resort has that unique factor that so many are missing.

    The hotel has only one restaurant with limited food options; there were too many middle-eastern/indian food options, whereas the menu could be richer in terms of seafood selections in a place like the Seychelles. Quality of the food was fine, although not exceptional.

    Amazing views, and since this is an island resort off the coast of the main island in Seychelles, the sea is better here. Also, the beach experience is very pleasant with alternative beaches to enjoy, walking on the sandbank during low tide, taking a 10-minute kayak ride to Moyenne island, which is just across the hotel and is home to Aldabra turtles, the cozy and romantic atmosphere of the hotel, great sunset views from their sundowners bar where you can also chill under the shade of the trees, everything was very good. Finally, hotel GM Mr. Burak Aydin was very welcoming and interested throughout our stay along with the whole hotel staff, which made our stay even more pleasant.

As vegetarians we found a lot on the menu that we could eat. Though pls add more indian vegetarian in the bfast, if feasible. The Public pool is beautiful but we thought it could be away from the restaurant side...... All in all it was a beautiful experience. we recommend all to visit.

    Not really a criticism, but the resort is starting to show some signs of aging - for example, some of the balustrades are rusting. It will need a spruce up in the not-too-distant future.

    The resort is situated on its own private island. A spectacular location. The staff are very attentive and the food is wonderful, particularly the breakfasts. We had a villa with a private secluded pool, which was great. The outdoor bath and shower were also special.

    Absolutely nothing, this was a dream vacation

    My wife and I rented the private pool villa for 5 nights with direct beach access. The location on Round Island, part of the marine park, was stunning: the views, the turquoise waters, the tranquillity. It is probably the most serene place I have ever visited. The villa was fantastic, blending into nature and large windows in the bedroom to enjoy the views. The indoor/outdoor bathroom was another unique feature which I personally really liked but might not be everyone's cup of tea. The staff was incredibly attentive, helpful and sweet, massages given by Eli were exceptional and the food menu even though a little limited was excellent. Seak kayaks and snorkelling were available to explore the local sea life which is plentiful.

    I stayed here for honeymoon. This is an awesome resort with stunning beach and extremely polite and helpful staff including property manager. I stayed across 3 islands in 3 countries and I can say this was the most memorable hotel we been too. Although I paid extra money for some extras that I did not expect (transfer from airport to hotel, which should be included at such price point), I can sat it's still worth it.

    -check in , we arrived at 4:15 p.m and even though we were welcomed with welcome drink, we were left waiting on the terrace of the restaurant for nearly an hour which caused us distress as we have travelled long and were in desperate need of a shower and refreshment. Upon questioning why it took so long, I realized the only one staff was handling all the check ins, and somehow were the last ones. I suggest having more staff available for check ins so guests don’t end up waiting in the heat for an hour. - at breakfast and dinner the vegetarian options were very limited and at breakfast there was absolutely no plant based milk available for the coffee. -WiFi kept disconnecting and the last day stopped working

    -location: secluded, limited people, Moyenne island natural park just in front -transfer to and from hotel was very smooth -the fact you can get kayak and snorkeling gear for free -everything on island is walking distance - I had eye irritation and they arranged some drops for me from the pharmacy which was an amazing touch, helped us not needing to go to Mahe for drops only

    Amazing hospitality. Extremely helpful staff and management. At the end of the day it is people who make a lot of difference. Couldn’t ask for a better location. Highly recommend!
