Reviews of Sunbird Villas

Everything was just wonderful. Hospitable hostess, friendly staff. Very tasty breakfasts. But the room was especially wonderful. Very spacious, beautifully decorated. With everything you need. We had two bathrooms, lots of tables, places to sit. Large comfortable beds, huge windows and a balcony-terrace the size of the entire room, where you can spend the evening with a glass of wine. And what a view from the balcony! In front of you is the ocean, in the distance are forested mountains, songbirds and flying foxes are flying nearby. A heavenly place, created with taste and care.

There are no disadvantages

Sunbird Villas has the perfect location, up the hill with a breathtaking panorama! We stayed in room number 2 which I believe has the best view of all. Since facilities are quite new, everything is in perfect condition, well maintained. Rooms are big and so is the bathroom. You will find a mini fridge, dishes, cutlery and a kettle, beach towels. Across the street from this lovely location, there is the greatest beach - small, intimate, with palms and the Seychelles typical stones and amazing turquoise waters. 10 min. walking distance there is another great beach - Sunset Beach and 10 min. by bus/car - the well known Beau Vallon Beach. Right down the hill there is a mini market and an ATM. Above, just a small part of what makes Sunbird Villas the best option if you decide to visit Mahe. Because the highlight of this place is the team welcoming you. Cecile, the owner - who feels more like the mother welcoming you home - will always make sure you are pleased with your stay. She will always ask how you feel, what you like or dislike, what special needs you would have and she will make sure to fulfill your wishes. She will also surprise you with incredible tasteful dinners “like mama’s house” - traditional creole cuisine. We ate there every evening and each dish was delicious. Dear Cecile - you are amazing and we are happy to have met not only you but also Cathy and her husband! Dominique and Alina will welcome you every morning with a great smile and delicious breakfast. Last, but not least - a BIG and SPECIAL thank you to Ashik! You are amazing! Ashik will take care of you in any way possible - he will maintain the room very very clean, he will facilitate you with public transport card, attentively serve you at dinner but mostly he will amaze you with his kindness, respect and dedication. To all of you a BIG THANK YOU! We do hope to have the chance to see you soon!

Cecile was absolutely incredible. She was great with communication in advance and during. The villa was clean, comfortable and had an beautiful view. Cecile went a above and beyond to organize expeditions and to make sure that I was comfortable. I would really love to go back!

Beautiful location with the most stunning public beach at your doorstep. Lovely and friendly staff so helpful and kind.

Steep entrance to park (if you have hired a car - be careful!)

Amazing place with an almost private beach down the road. The dinners organized by the staff were really good, totally worth the money, we ate there every day. The views and the sunsets from the balconies are simply perfect. The place might not be as polished in the fine details as some other "fancy" locations, but it is clean, well-kept, and with a good vibe. Worth every penny. Location is also really good, out of the town and tourist confusion, allowing a really good and relaxed experience.

Awesome personnel: breakfasts, cleaning. Stunning view and cool beach nearby!

Pretty steep way, but we got used to😄

We stayed for 7 nights and the only thing I can say about Sunbird Villas is that it is outstanding. There are wonderful beaches within walking distance. The owner of the hotel, dear Cecile, her employees Pıyal and Alina took care of us kindly in every matter. It contributed to all the plans we made during our trip. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to stay on the island of Mahe

Amazing views, great food. Very comfortable bed.Everything is clean. The stuff and owner were welcoming, friendly, helped a lot. Nice beach nearby.

Highly recommended! The owners and staff friendly and helpful, the room very clean and thoughtful, the bed very comfortable and the view from the balcony is breathtaking! An additional plus is the freshly squeezed juice at breakfast and the quite large car park! Highly recommended!

New room, big, comfortable and very clean, with amazing views. Delicious breakfast and you have the option to have dinner as well, if someone wishes. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Very close to Beau Vallon beach!

Everything was great. Location superb. View from tha balcony amazing.

There were no blankets.

Hospitality, beautiful location, great meals

Great value for money. The room was spacious and had a nice view (could be better by the upper room). The breakfast was the same every day but sufficient: eggs cooked by choice, crepe, fruits, toast with banana jam. The personnel were very nice and the room was cleaned daily.

The room was missing some attention to details like the lights (only the light bulb in the ceiling) and some outdated arrangements.

The accommodation was spacious, clean, there was a seating area on the terrace with an amazing view of the ocean. Cleaning was done every day, clean towels, everythink perfect! Breakfasts were tasty, pancakes were delicious with banana jam. The staff was friendly, helpful, we felt very comfortable there. Thank you for a wonderful 3 days of accommodation on Mahé!

Very nice people, beautiful nature and views! Rooms are large and comfortable, hospitality is great!

The location of Villas is very good, rooms are nice and clean. We also liked breakfasts and dinners.

The rooms are big, clean, they offer water and bug spray, shampoo, safe, beach towels fast wi-fi. The view from our balcony wasi splendid. We are on our honeymoon so we really appreciated their welcoming. The staff was so helpful and very nice to talk to. The owner as well. Food was also very good. We like to try local food so we often chose curry that came with salad and side dish. Both my husband and I were so impressed with the place, the nature that was so well taken care of, how clean everything was and how helpful the staff. We travelled a lot but this is the first time we had nothing to complain about. Mind that the road to the hotel is a little steep but we enjoyed the exercise.

Honestly, this is one of those places I stayed that was top notch. Such a terrific stay! Getting there was easy, requested for a taxi pick up from the airport- like many Airbnb places with a gorgeous view, this was on top of a steep hill (beware if you plan on driving), the room was immaculately cleaned every day with little flowers dotted around the room, the facilities in the huge room included your usual- kettle (need to be a little careful when pouring hot water as it leaks but I didn’t get a chance to report it), tea/coffee sachets provided, a mini fridge, smart tv, toiletries and beach towels! A room with a grand view. Next to talk about the food- it was simply marvellously delicious, home made and tasty. There is also sufficient guest parking should you have a car. The staff are very attentive and caring. Wifi was fast, and one when there was a router issue, the staff swiftly provided their own separate wifi router / alternate wifi- this was very much appreciated. The beach is down the road and one can swim. There’s also an offie (store) where you can buy snacks/ beer or other supplies, at the bottom of the hill. Overall a superb stay!

We struggled to remember if we had any concerns, then one came to mind. It would be nice if they provided a spare thicker bedsheet/ blanket in the wardrobe - to feel cosier at night with the A/C on. Nature is great at finding food on the table quite quickly ;)

Cecile and her Team are amazing. Facilities are great but these people made our stay truly special.

There is nothing I would complain about. The driveway is a bit tricky but if you need support, Cecile’s team is there to give you a hand :)
