8/10 Very Good

Great resort and location
I stayed here with my wife in Jan 2023. First off, the weather was nice and sunny for the most part.
The resort is on the beach, and the grounds are lovely. It feels very tropical. Beau Vallon beach is busy and the sea conditions vary from calm to lots of waves, which can be good fun. It’s about 15 minutes from the airport in a taxi (cost about €45)
We had a suite on the ground floor. The room was spacious, the bed was huge and the shower and bath were great.
We ate in all the restaurants. In hindsight staying for 10 days was maybe too long as we ran out of food options. The pool side bar (Ripples) is very expensive. 2 x club sandwiches, 2 x beers, 2 x cokes and a desert was nearly about €80! Overall the food quality was good. Freshly cooked and tasty.
The staff are very friendly, always saying hello with a nice smile, but could be a little more attentive. They forgot my order, and are slow to serve, but it didn’t bother my too much. I wasn’t in a hurry :)
I would have liked better entertainment in the evening. There wasn’t much on and after 11pm if felt like a graveyard. However some people might like a quiet night, so maybe this is a personal thing.
Overall, I think this resort is up there with the best on Seychelles. It sits in the landscape with a lovely pool, good location and very friendly staff.
Areas to improve are a little bit more professionalism, better prices for food, and a bit more on that entertainment front.
