"Great place physically, not good as a B&B and very expensive for what you get.
Only cold water in the shower, no breakfast...it is room only with some coffee."

"The villa was wonderful. The unit was clean and bright. The community was safe. Housekeepers, gardener and office safe were phenomenal. They were always cordial, responsive and accommodating.
Will definitely return to this villa."

"Die „Bay view Villa“ wirkt insgesamt ziemlich abgewohnt. Die wirklich gut inszenierten Bilder haben leider wenig mit der Realität vor Ort zu tun. In der Küche (zur Selbstversorgung...) befindet sich keinerlei Geschirr, Besteck, Pfannen oder ähnliche Küchenutensilien.
Vorsicht auch bei der Bezahlung- der Mitarbeiter hat uns den Zahlbetrag doppelt abgebucht (bemerkt man ja aber erst nach Erhalt der Kreditkartenabrechnung). Zum Glück waren wir schon vor Ort mißtrauisch geworden als er zwei...

The service is phenomenal. I’ve never experienced anything like the friendly, warm manner of the staff. Particularly Aru who is just a wonderful human.

Self catering villa, very modern, spacious. It is located on the south end of Mahe which is quieter than Beauvallon. The Villa is on the hillside with great views of the bay, there are 6 properties, some are semidetached. This was the best accommodation we had during our stay. The owners are very helpful and the service is good with daily cleaning. The owners speak excellent English and communicate with you in advance of the holiday

The villas are very comfortable, some with a view to die for. The bathroom is very impressive, the air conditioning works fine and the bed is very good. Now they have free WiFi and flatscreen TVs in all villas (good for plugging in your computer and review all those photos on a huge screen). The beach is like a gigantic fish tank with all those tropical fish swimming around and they provide Kayaks, flippers, masks, etc. for free. If you come in the right season, you are guaranteed a fantastic...

Love it all, missing it already.
Things that can be useful to know:
*Two cash line machines, outside on the right of Praslin airport. It only accepts visa and MasterCard. Maximum 1500SCR. Debit cards did not work for us.
* Taxis just in front of the airport exit door, cost from airport to hotel 400SCR and 300SCR coming.
* Hotel staff, taxi drivers, shop keepers, guides are very friendly, helpful with a good sense of humour, just make an effort to talk to them, start the conversation.

Kempenski was (and I don't say this lightly) perfect for our 10 day honeymoon in the Seychelles. The staff were absolutely brilliant and couldn't do enough for us but also left us to ourselves to allow us to relax. The hotel itself is beautiful and very natural within its surroundings but also clean and well thought out.
We very much recommend a break or honeymoon in the Seychelles - Baie Lazure is further away than other locations but the beach is brilliant and very very quiet! Even by...

Great location with an amazing beach! Staff is really really nice and attentive.
The food is good, with decent amount of local dishes! We especially enjoyed the local fruit!
Only a couple of suggestions for the management:
- put the sunbed pillows away in the night so they will be dry in the morning
- have some simple printed news in the morning to go along with the breakfast. Seen this in couple of hotels in Seycheless and its a nice feature.
- as far as food, perhaps a bit more...

The best thing about this hotel is the staff and I mean all of them, from the room cleaners, the waitresses, even the chef, to the management. Always a smile, polite and friendly, giving you space when you want it but there when you need them. They really do take great care of you from airport transfer to small touches like extra beach towels.
The resort is quiet, only 24 chalets, secluded positioning, jungly with amazing birds and bats flying ahead. The rooms are very spacious, colonial and...

Very helpful manager Rose-May, who allowed us to book into our room early for both our stays at the hotel. We stayed 2 nights at the beginning of our holiday and 1 night at the end. We were upgraded to a large, quiet room with a veranda looking onto the pool area. The pool was small, but had 10 comfortable sunbeds and towels were provided. We ate in for the 3 nights and I would recommend a hire car if you wish to eat out because taxis are very expensive and the cheap local bus does not run...

Encontrar este magnífico hotel ha sido un oasis de paz y tranquilidad.Con un servicio inmejorable de 5 estrellas, todo el equipo recepción, restaurante, mozos, seguridad han superado cualquier experiencia previa en todo mi vida y soy una persona exigente.Las habitaciones necesitan algo de mantenimiento pero todo lo demás supera con creces. Una puesta de sol de privilegio en la hamaca o mesa privada, una piscina de piedra, menú degustación cada noche. Me he sentido en el Paraiso.Muchas gracias
