Avani Seychelles Barbarons Resort & Spa, Mahe Island

We had a sea view suite, spacious for a family of 4. You could enjoy a walk on the beach or around the complex. The pool area was very relaxing. Beautiful setting. Highly recommended.

Negatives - Not impressed with service, staff generally treated me like I was invisible. Difficult to get waiters to table had to leave table to actively search people out to get coffee with breakfast. Had to go up to bar to get menu, place order, get check even though there was allegedly table service. No service at the beach. Not good if you are an adult looking to relax, lots of families with young children so regular screaming and temper tantrums. Not good if you don’t like cigarette smoke. Most guests seemed to smoke and smoked everywhere. Don’t stay over Saturday night unless you like very loud(room shaking) techno music until 1am. Positives - Nice rooms. Clean. Beautiful beach with great snorkeling right off the shore, so bring your snorkel mask.

This resort provided an amazing end to our week in paradise! We only stayed for one night, but I wish we could've stayed for a week. The rooms, hotel, and facilities were all amazing! The pool and beach were especially lovely! The food was good, and the breakfast was incredible. I would definitely recommend a stay here without hesitation.

My husband and 9 month old son had a very enjoyable time here. Most staff were very friendly and eager to help. Service can be slow sometimes, and the resort is about half hour by car to the city center. BUT, if you're looking for a family getaway to enjoy the beach and pool for the most part of your vacation, I think you'll enjoy your stay here.

the staff really made our stay here. They were exceptional.
