Farmstay in Seychelles

"First thing you do - check all reviews online for truthfulness. About 90% of all existing reviews of this place on TA are written by accounts that have one posting. Draw your conclusions accordingly. At the hotel check-in was friendly, room (Beach Villa with plunge pool) was clean, functional, nothing posh. Fixtures worn out, water pressure soso..the place was run as Hilton before and so the setup still makes sense, but the new owners probably never ran a 5star under competition before. When you take a closer look you will see things are worn out. Food was a straightforward disaster except the onsite Japanese place. Breakfast did mange to go south every day and the wine list is a bummer..staff is non attentive nor trained, good half forgets orders and the food is cheapest wholesale (we went to other places and were able to get the quality we were looking for at half price, still overpriced but at spot). They seemingly try to make 10x margin on everything they sell to you. Food quality is at best 3star. To be fair staff is trying their best but probably it´s worth considering to hire ONE international senior chef into the team if 90% of guests are international. The "Pina Colada" i got at 8pm looked exactly same at 8am next day, with the foam still there, talk about no preservatives added :-)) I am feeling sad for those who saved to make such trip. I just lost a week i could have spend in NYC or elsewhere. Go Four Seasons and sleep well. That said, Good Bye and Good Luck."

"Incredible place to stay. Perfect location with direct beach access. Great breakfast and restaurant options. The staff were very helpful and arranged anything I needed. Can’t wait to be back!"

"Great place to unwind and relax. The property has beautiful view of the water from the restaurants and pool area. Staff were attentive and very friendly."

" Nice"

"Our room had a nice view of the mountains. The shaded beach restaurant had very good food & a nice ocean view."

"The definition of Paradise We absolutely loved this hotel. The staff is warm and friendly, the location is secluded and peaceful, and the beach is gorgeous, where in April, we were pretty much the only people around. We had planned to go into town on one of our two days, but the beauty and peace of the place convinced us to stay put to enjoy the wonderful location. We had all our meals at the hotel and they were reasonably priced and tasty. I hope to return someday."

"Excellent breakfast, quality and quantity. Good room choices for families. Great pool area and the fitness is perfect. One of the few places we will return!"

"Q"

"We stayed 5 nights. The resort and grounds and beach are spectacular. Staff super-friendly. Large room with full amenities and view. Excellent breakfast buffet. BUT ... Meals are double the reasonable price, and very ordinary. I cook better at home. e.g. Caesar Salad was missing bacon and poached egg, price USD50. Most of the evening dishes are lunch style, e.g. poke bowl, sashimi, salads. The steak and fish meals are USD100+. I would stay again, but take some local advice and find a local restaurant."
