The view was fantastic! Wifi was terrible. Restaurant was average to below average. They were not ready for my arrival both days I stayed. Had to ask for towels and toilet paper. They did give me a discounted day rate to accommodate my late flight.

The rooms needed to be updated and upgraded to a 3-star accommodation. Rooms were too spartan. Lacked a certain cozy and comfortable factor.

Had a great stay at this hotel (5 nights) and it deserves a higher rating. I read some of the older bad reviews and they were not applicable at all. Staff were very helpful, price was reasonable, amazing view, no problems at all with the room. Pool and restaurant were nice as well.

Good hotel, good restaurant, great staff

Summary: great place to stay a week, comfortable bed, excellent restaurant and friendly and helpful staff. We travel a lot and this a great place to stay with an unusually good restaurant.

Airport: the hotel organised us an upmarket taxi to take to the hotel for €40.

Checking In: informal and friendly with a drink. We arrived at 09:00 and in our room by 09:30.

Room: we booked a deluxe room with sea view. The vista was slightly blocked by the roof of the restaurant but had a large veranda with seating for four and a coffee table. Inside there was a super king size bed, fridge, coffee making facilities, plug sockets (UK) with USB charging points (x4). The wardrobe was fine but bring your own hangers. The bathroom was roomy with 2 sinks, huge shower with powerful shower and ample hot water, and nice toiletries. Room service was daily. The aircon was enough for even the hottest day.

Restaurant: This good restaurant is outdoors but undercover. The food is mainly Indian, Creole and international (mainly Italian) with a large number of options. We tried a fair part of the menu and all was excellent. Breakfast was a range of cooked options, fruit juice, toast and coffee/tea.
Swimming pool: clean with a range of loungers and chairs/tables.

Staff: top team of happy, friendly and helpful people. The management were in evidence everyday which ensured that high standards were maintained.

Perfect location

The location is perfect - wonderful views over the calm, shallow lagoon which is ideal for swimming and snorkelling - yes, there is coral reef. Close enough to airport and also close to a bus route for exploring the island, though renting a car can also be good.
This isn't a 5-star hotel, which is, of course, reflected in the reasonable prices, but we had a wonderful holiday there. Expect a bit of local colour, and not a wide breakfast choice, for example, but rooms were clean and had all the main facilities. We had one free upgrade because of renovation work to the standard rooms. I would recommend asking for the newly renovated rooms in the main house (due to be finished end February). If you are in the chalets remember to be quiet as soundproofing is minimal.

Wifi was a nuisance - needed new codes every day and not entirely reliable. The deputy manager, Deviey (? not sure how she spells it) was most charming and helpful.
If you like Indian food this is the place for you as it is run by Indians and specialises in that.
The gardens are pretty and wonderful for star-gazing.

Hotel undergoing renovation which we were NOT told about i.e the lovely white house in the picture was totally gutted and being renovated. Wifi very difficult to access required help from staff. Dinner took over one and half hours to arrive after we had ordered our food and the starter came after main course. They did not charge us for the starter the food was good when it eventually arrived but lack of information from person in charge of the restaurant and hopeless customer care, no apology. spoilt our last night of the holiday. we were too tired and hungry to enjoy the meal.The renovated room we were in had the wardrobe in the bathroom ! in a humid climate. the toilet flush stuck and water kept running. There were a few insects in the room and I asked if it could be sprayed but there was a lack of response to this request. There were lots of small insects on all of the stairs up to the room.

Not the highlight of the trip

I booked a room for two adults and one child. When I got there they said the rollaway beds
We’re unavailable. I kept asking them where the child was then expected to sleep at which they just kept saying sorry. After two complaints and later in the evening they were finally able tonsecure a crib which ended up being small for a four year old. Also, I found a cockroach in my curry at the restaurant. They didn’t charge me for it but still not what you want to find in your food.

Don't take a shower

Planned to use to rest as day room before midnight flight. Slow check in. took a long time for meal and when I went to use shower it was either full cold or scalding hot. No shower mat for slippery surface. View from property was excellent. I had view of fence. Plenty of other properties to choose.

Small B & B in Mahe, Seychelles

Small tropical island B&B hotel in a small town on the beach. Hotel is 50 yds. up a street from beach and half km. from small town. Room was comfortable w/ good a/c and adequate bathroom. not luxurious, and small balcony. Bearkfast was good w/ eggs&bacon, fruit juice & fruit and coffee/tea. Restaurant by poolside was B+ for dinner. Town Anse Royal has 2 restaurants that were good, a small gas station like 7/11 and a bank atm. Best to rent a car to see the island.

a nice stay

Nice hotel for a one night stay. needs better signage at road level to inform drivers where it is. difficult to find, especially in the dark. room was comfortable with a nice view. front desk service was really helpful with any needs including letting us stow bags after checkout and providing a room to shower before going to the airport. tasty breakfast bar included in our stay. located just above an excellent snorkeling beach but with a strong current. be aware. also, if you intend to walk to the beach, it is a long hot climb back of the hill to the hotel. would recommend.

Stunning view

A holiday of 2 halves or should that be one quarter and 3 quarters. After Qatar airways had left my suitcase in Qatar,not an unusual occurrence I was told, I was shown to a small room which overlooked a back yard,a fence with barbed wire on the top and a fluorescent piece of tubing.The door gave on to the car park.Not much for 140 dollars a night! But after 2 nights Monsieur Roland came to the rescue and upgraded me to a much better room on the first floor of the main building where I spent the other 6 nights of my stay. This was very spacious with an enormous bathroom and a window which faced 90 degrees towards the sea. The view from the hotel over the bay is stunning and to get to the beach all you need to do is go down the hill, look left and right to cross the road and you are on the beach of golden sand ready to snorkel in the bay in front. Meals are good in the hotel but if you want a change you can walk up the road to the Kas Creole or the Dauphin Heureux in the village nearby. The kitchen has plenty of Indian dishes if, like me, you are vegetarian- for breakfast I had a wheat pancake with a potato concoction. Both rooms had empty pots for coffee, sugar and tea-these should be filled. In the second room I had there was a water heater. The pool is tiny and has far too many chemicals in it but why bother with that when the beach is so near.

Nice Place Close to the Airport

It indeed offers what it says as per the star category it has. Good and fast service of the staff as well as the Operations Manager. When making a res for a deluxe, make sure to ask for a sea view room where you will be \"WoW\"'d by the fascinating view of the lovely ocean surrounding this amazing island.

Overall..... A nice and OK place to stay.

Utterly disappointing

After having stayed at an amazing hotel on Praslin island for a week, we discovered this one.
Service at reception was quite poor the guy didn't seem to understand anything. The manager had to come and help.
Room wasn't that clean, showerhead was broken and cellotape around where it should have been.No towels in our room.

Food at restaurant was not nicely served and staff didn't seem happy. Pepper was mouldy and stunk.

Overall disappointing and didn't seem at all like what was on the internet.

The Relax Hotel has a no refund policy - if you cannot get to the island or arrive late, there is no compensation on offer. Your credit card is deducted by the total cost of the stay as soon as you book on-line.

My flight was sheduled to arrive at 3am in the morning, so I reserved the room from the day before to ensure that I had a room for the night., unfortunately, my flight was delayed for 36 hours so I ended up paying for 3 days that I did not use. The hotel is at liberty to dictate policy, but it still seems a little harsh.

I complained on my first day there that the AC was not working, promises were made to get it repaired. I had travelled overnight and was exhausted so was obliged to sleep a few hours in a very hot and humid room. I expected the AC to be fixed by the time I returned to the hotel that evening, but no nothing had been done and despite chiding staff, I had to try and sleep again in a steamy room that night. The following day I waited for someone to look at the AC unit and the duty manager came along to tell me the timer needed setting. I said it was on 'full-time' and did not blow cold - he insisted that 'it would' and I insisted on a change of room. This was agreed, but I had to lug everything from an upstairs room to a downstairs one without any offer of help - but the AC worked.

That Friday evening I went out, returning to the hotel at 12:25am I found the hotel locked; there was no side entrance or any other means of gaining legal entry. I banged on the doors and windows but nothing. I called the hotel on my mobile and an auto-answer gave the duty manager's telephone number which I called eleven times without reply. Eventually I gave up and slept on the porch amongst the (noisy) creatures of the hot and sticky night. My new room had working AC, but I wasn't in it. The next day, the manager found it so difficult to say 'sorry' , although he did concede that I should have been told that the door would be locked that night. The Duty manager offered me a 'drink' by way of compensation and gave me a 25ml bottle of local beer. Six hours sweating, tossing and turning on the hotel porch for a small beer...

I left the hotel the next day and returned home, nothing can convince me that these people know anything about being a tourist destination.

My wife & I were very pleasantly

My wife & I were very pleasantly surprised on arriving at the hotel. Though small it is beautifully situated on the side of a hill overlooking a magnificent bay. The room was very comfortable, air-conditioned with fridge and coffee/tea making facilities. It was quiet which suited us well and the restaurant had a nice menu, reasonably priced and the food was fresh and tasty.

My Excellent Vacation

Le Relax Hotel on Mahe, be sure to note this as there are 3 hotels with same name in Seychelles. Hotel Manager is Roland and makes his guest right at home. Staff were friendly, helpful and very accomodating. Hotel is situated on a steep hillside just off main road. I had a beautiful room with veranda overlooking the bay, very nice, small, 10 rooms only, hotel about 30 minute drive south of airport in Victoria. Cab ride is about 26 Euro's.Excellent restaurant serving Indian, Creole, Western dishes with full service bar, you know it must be good when the locals flock in to eat. The Garlic Nan Bread is made fresh while you wait and is to die for!! Seafood selection is excellent. Beautiful pool area right by the restaurant. Quite, and very restful with good beaches just across the main road for small children. Local village just 15 minute walk south with a couple of restaurants, several markets, dive shop, some local crafts shops. Bus ride to Victoria is 7 Rupee's about .50 US cents. Cab is about 30 Euro's from hotel to Victoria, so you compare!! Seychelles is all the tropical paradise you would need. This hotel is for someone who wants no schedule, no distractions and looking for complete relaxation and restful quite. I could live here full time with ease.

Hotel med potential

Hotel med fint läge, vacker utsikt över havet.
Bra standard men spartanskt inrett, de skulle vinna på lite mer ombonad design.
Personalen är mycket serviceminded men lite trist att behöva påminna om frotté, vatten efter städningen. Frukosten var bra. Bra läge att utgå ifrån om du vill utforska södra delen av ön

Struttura molto semplice per breve fuga dal freddo di passaggio nell'arcipelag Questo albergo non deve essere particolarmente costoso ( non pagando piu' di 100 euro al giorno) puo' essere una soluzione di passaggio. Non e' la sisteazione per un indimenticabile viaggio di nozze. La si puo' considerare un motel.
Piccolo hotel, in fase di ristrutturazione durante il mio soggiorno, vista mare dal ristorante, intravista dai bungalow o dalle stanze del corpo centrali che davvero non vi consoglio: soffocanti...vi ho passato una notte non vista sui lavori in corso ( dopo aver chiesto la vista pubblicizzata sui siti..)soffocante per il caldo ed anche in relazione a plexiglass o vetro sul balcone che fornisce vista, ma non consente di godere di un poco di brezza serale.
Il Bungalow e' piu' fresco e spazioso ( ce ne sono 6), spartano tuttavia, niente addobbi floreali ne asciugamani predisposti per un'atmosfera esotica.
La vista mare viene pagata al prezzo di una ripida salita per raggiungere l'albergo, che risulta pericolosa senza auto . Peraltro l'auto risulta indispensabile considerando i prezzi di taxi di Mahe' . Avendo tempo l'isola puo' comunque essere scoperta in autobus. Con pochi giorni, consiglio vivamente l'auto e una struttura a nord dell'isola.Bella certo la baia di Anse Royale ma alle spalle la rumorosissima e trafficata autostrada ( o cosi' viene chiamata.. la strada piu' veloce per percorrere l'isola da nord a sud). Bella dicevo per un bagno equalche foto .

Charmant hôtel au bord de mer sur une’ petite colline qui surplombe la magnifique Anse royale qui est pour moi la plus de l’île. Hôtel tenu par des indiens extrêmement serviables et très gentils.chambre spacieuse confortable et bien décoré, bouilloire frigo à disposition. La jeune fille de la réception parle très bien français et a été d une gentillesse remarquable pendant notre séjour, les plats indiens du restaurant sont très bons et feront voyager vos papilles.

Vacker utsikt

Incheckningen tog väldigt lång tid och vi fick vänta. Det hade underlättat om texten på bokningen hade varit på engelska. Jag försökte översätta ord för ord, men det var meningslöst. Tyvärr hade bokningarna gjorts med 20 dagars mellanrum och villkoren skilde för betalningarna. Det verkade som om vi måste betala ytterligare en gång för den sista natten, som redan var betald men tyvärr i svensk valuta. Något annat alternativ fanns inte då. Dessutom skulle det bli ett standardrum. Trist diskussion när man är trött efter en lång flygresa. Elinstallationen i badrummet var felaktigt utförd. Varken badrumsskåpets lampor eller lysröret ovanför fungerade. Vatten rann ut på golvet från någon läcka vid badkaret. Risken är då stor att man halkar på golvet särskilt på kvällen, när det är svårt att se om det är vått. Bra indisk kock men de övriga rätterna var av sämre kvalitet. Annan kock troligen!
