Raffles Hotels in Seychelles

Our experience at Constance Ephelia was memorable! The property is huge with access to 2 main beaches (south beach & north beach) depending on the time of the year south beach is unsafe to swim but North Beach is safe all year around. Additionally there are many hidden beaches along the coastline for ultimate privacy. Property is sits within the national park so you really feel part of the nature with many nature trails for hiking as well as kayaking through the mangroves, rock climbing and zip lining within the property itself. Their spa is probably one of the biggest and best we’ve experienced in the Indian ocean. The property is very picturesque, with many spots all around for photos opportunities. The staff will really go out their way to make you feel at home and ensure your dietary requirements are taken care off. They also have an on-site dive centre for additional cost but many other water activities included as part of your stay. We would highly recommend this resort to anyone travelling to Mahé island, Seychelles.

It was a great hotel. With flights coming in early in the morning, an earlier check-in would’ve been helpful. Patric was very helpful and thoughtful. Also, there was Dorine who kept our room tidy; and Hamisha on the bar. All three made a great impression upon us. The gym has a bit too many treadmills and lacks in some other machines which would make a full body workout easier. I was able to alter a few exercises to complete my workout but it would be better to possibly add free-weights and dumbbells and barbells. Overall it was a beautiful location and the staff were wonderful. Thank you for making our stay enjoyable.

Have you ever eaten something that was missing something? Maybe an ingredient was substituted and you could tell something was not just right? Well this hotel is one of those. The property grounds are very well groomed. The buildings are constructed immaculately. The infrastructure is very well done and beautiful. The delivery of the product is just not up to what it should be for this expensive of hotel. We stayed here twice. On arrival and departure from Mahe to Nairobi. On the first visit, we arrived around 5 PM or after. It took an hour to get checked in to the hotel. Keep in mind that the checkout time is 10 AM at this hotel. So they had plenty of time to prepare the room for us. I am a lifetime diamond status with HIlton and they have my credit card on file and know how to charge it quite quickly. They know me well over the years. So that should not be a reason why it took so long to get us checked in. Granted it was a Friday evening check in so probably the B team was on staff. Maybe they had not been trained in how to run the computers as well as the daytime staff. So in advance of our second visit, I asked them if they could check us in a little faster than the previous visit. They were able to do it quicker this time at 2 PM (2 pm is normal check in starting time) but after an hour of in our room, I had to call to have our bags delivered. There was still plenty of beach time to be had. During the room orientation, I asked for a 2nd bed or have the pull out sofa bed fitted with sheets. The person said they would deliver a bed. I waited till 9 PM for them to deliver the bed. I ended up having to inquire about the bed but the person on the other line was a little confused on what I was asking for. Eventually 2 people showed up with sheets to put on the pull out bed. I guess they had changed their mind on delivering a bed. I realize that my expectations out of the Mango House maybe a little high after staying a week at the Four Seasons Desroches Island complex which was exceptional in all ways. So I kind of felt like I was staying at a poorly run Hampton Inn. In fact, I have had better service at a Hampton Inn in many cities. So even though this hotel has a really nice infrastructure, they have a long way to go to be at the level of a Four Seasons hotel as far as service goes.

This hotel is located on the small island of Round Island on the island of Mahe. The hotel needs to contact the hotel by speedboat to the Eden Island terminal. There is only one hotel on the island and the Chinese live very little. We stayed at JA Hotel for four nights, the hotel's only restaurant is very good, recommend different themed dishes every day, the hotel has a good view, each Villa has its own pool and beach, you can borrow the hotel's snorkeling equipment to float on the hotel beach Dive, you can also use kayaking to go around the island, you can also borrow fishing rods to fish at the pier, and even catch a small shark, the cost is free. All the waiters in the hotel are very Nice, the whole hotel is full of natural African style, I think if there is next time, I will choose to stay here once. In addition: About the cost of the child: Each child has an extra bed and a total of one hundred euros per day About the hotel ship pick-up: you need to book one day in advance, and there is a clear charge according to the pick-up time: free pick-up and drop-off from 6 am to 6 pm on the check-in and check-out day, we arrived at the dock at 7 pm on the same day and received it. 95 Euros pick-up fee; during the stay, there are two free pick-ups every day, 9:30 in the morning and 4:30 in the evening, all at other times.

The hotel has several good, not great, features. It’s on a beautiful piece of land, the staff is sweet and occasionally helpful, and the WiFi works most of the time but it’s very weak and slow. There’s one English news station on the TV, the AC works decently (though it is not strong) and it was clean. Also, parking was easy out front of the hotel. The hotel has several bad aspects. First and most obvious, it doesn’t live up to its title as resort or spa. There is a small and nice pool. There is a fitness center. There is a room for massage treatments. There’s one restaurant, and it’s average, and there is a bar. And of course there is a beach. And that’s it. This is not a resort. It is not a spa. But the hotel claims to be a resort in its ads. The staff were just not very welcoming. Checkin was slow and confused. The room was hot. The bed was uncomfortable. The shower water pressure was weak. The room was way, way overpriced (even for Seychelles which is very expensive). There was zero benefit or recognition for Hilton Honors status (I’m a Diamond member). Other than offering a bottle of water, there was no benefit and no recognition. It was really stunning. No extra points. No lounge or happy hour. No upgrade. I stayed at a Hilton because that usually improves the experience. The staff was sweet and polite (if not very helpful), but the management was aloof, dismissive, and rude. I tried to leave the hotel early, even offering to leave after the icey and confused checkin, and I was told I’d be charged if I left. That made it clear. This hotel is simply an investment for its owners and investors. The owners have done as little as possible to charge as much as possible. When the guest notices failings, management become confrontational. The front office management [Rania Asba, Front Office & Quality Manager] simply stormed away when she (after arguing for 20-30 minutes) couldn’t address the many issues. She was confused and became confrontational, which was very uncomfortable. I wanted to leave and was told I would still be charged. Management alternated between confrontational and confused, mostly confused, and only became confrontational when called on their confusion. The front office manager became indignant when confronted on the low quality, poor checkin, bad room, and many issues of low quality. On the few times she did engage, she was condescending, insecure, and dismissive. There are many nice places in Seychelles, and I will definitely be back to Seychelles, but I definitely won’t stay here again. I paid for a resort and got a basic three star hotel in a nice location. I would have paid less and had a much better experience in many of the two star hotels I visited (like Anse Soleil Beachcomber) that were far nicer and relaxing without claiming to be a resort. I would have even paid less at Hotel Savoy, a five star hotel at Beau Vallon Beach, which as a guest treated me far better than anyone at Doubletree. At the Doubletree, y

There is a marina next to the hotel, the rooms are clean and tidy, and room service is in place. Breakfast is a buffet. The type is the buffet of a general five-star international restaurant. It can only be said that there is no change.

When I arrived at the hotel I couldn’t find a door that was open so I knocked and still got no response. Finally I called and the owner told me to wait and he would be there in 15 minutes. I do not think my phone called him again as it did not show any signs of a call, but he called me back. He yelled, “I told you I’d be there in 15 minutes! Just wait.” I responded that I understood, that I hadn’t intended to call him, and I will wait. He is very rude! The hotel is very small. It is fairly clean. I’d say the one thing it has going for it is that almost everything is the same color blue, and it looks pretty good. The bed was very hard, and very uncomfortable. The bathroom is bigger and roomier than the bedroom, and I had trouble finding the light switch, (it’s in the hall by the bed). They bragged about the morning meal, but it starts very early and you have to get there early, and it’s very small. I would say overall this is a very unpleasant place to stay. I got very little sleep.

Seychelles quite high class hotel. It is an independent island. After arriving at Mahe Island International Airport. You can book a helicopter and get to the island in 15 minutes. There is a lounge after check in. The price is relatively high. You can also take a boat to Praslin yourself. The hotel then arranged for the boat to receive the hotel from Praslin. Service and hotel renovation are first class. The environment is superb. There is also a free boat to La Digue every week. Super great! Suitable for couples honeymoon and family fun. We also took a private photography team to take a wedding photo on the island. extremely like. Beautiful is very advanced! And the starry sky at night is also great!
