Great rooms (good bathrooms), beaches (beautiful water), gym facilities (lots of machines and free weights) and restaurant service (waiters were generally excellent).

The app/reservation system: We downloaded the app the day before arrival which is required to book restaurants and activities. All of the restaurants we would want to visit and the snorkelling activities were already fully booked for the duration of our three day stay before we had even arrived. We managed to eventually get our desired restaurant reservations but only after speaking to guest relations, being put on a waiting list and then waiting for other guests to cancel. We also only managed to get on the snorkelling trip after another couple didn’t turn up for their booking. Construction works: the resort was building some new villas right next to the shoreline of the smaller beach in the north of the resort. That beach already feels more commercial than the larger beach in the south of the resort (which is beautiful but no one really uses), so coupled with noisy construction works on top, it wasn’t a very nice beach to be on. Cyan restaurant: this is the fancy restaurant in the resort. Service is fantastic, but they try a bit too hard with the menu. They have some fancy foods on the menu, but which don’t really taste that nice. They would be better off having a simpler menu but where the food is cooked to a very high standard. We thought the Adam & Eve restaurant was actually much better where the food was delicious.

the resort is huge and offers many different activities. you don’t really need to leave the resort as hike, excursions and activities happen all nearby and are arranged through reception or app.

we had just one small disappointment which was that all restaurants we wanted to go for 3 nights in a row were all booked. therefore we needed to choose always the buffet option and that was the most pricey too. i would recommend to try booking the restaurants for dinner at arrival directly if you want to avoid them being fully booked!

The greeting of the staff and their desire to help, always with a smile. I do want to mention the hostess, Joan from the buffet restaurant, always with a smile , always looking to support and help. We left the hotel and we're still talking about her grace and charm. Thank you 🙏

Nothing. It was above our expectations

Das Hotel ist sehr groß und liegt an zwei Stränden. Die Zimmer sind geräumig, jedenfalls unseres, eine Junior Suite, und gut eingerichtet. Sauberkeit ok. Die Transportmöglichkeiten innerhalb der großen Anlage in Ordnung. Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt

Alles wirkt sehr voll. Das Frühstücksbüffet erinnert an eine volle Mensa. Die Preise in den Restaurants nicht angemessen. ein kleines Tiramisu 16 Euro. Na hopla. Im Buffetabendrestaurant ist die Qualität und Auswahl gut aber es eben einfach zu wülig und hektisch. Dafür, 800 Euro die Nacht mit Halbpension einfach nicht angemessen. Die Strände sind, im Vergleich mit anderen Stränden auf Mahè unteres Mittelmaß.
