Raffles Seychelles

We stayed at Raffles hotels in June from June 16 to June 21. Thank you, It was very nice to meet you. We really enjoyed our stay at Raffles and hope to come back next year. Pasek, thank you very much for your care and attention. You are the best. I also want to say a special thank you to Adilet.

One of the best villa we ever stayed. Excellent service without being too smothering. Most of staff remembered your names and service was top notch. Rooms were chic and luxe and food especially the breakfast spread was divine.Thanks to Joshua, Sam, Melania, Saddam, Sufian and all the staffs who greeted us with nothing but warmth sincerity. Special thanks to Brigitte for making our stay even more lovelier than it already is.

We had a wonderful time at the bar and curieuse restaurant. We were treated to an amazing time by the teams of Kevin and Boid at the bar and restaurant.Derrick made wonderful drinks and Boy the chef gave us wonderful creations for our dinner. The final.surprise was the double feast cakes for birthday and anniversary. Highest thumbs up!!

The hotel was supposed to be the best on the Praslin Island. But the stay was not satisfactory. The reception was warm and accommodated us for early arrival at 6:15 am. But the ocean view was heavily obstructed by the tree line. The villa was beautiful but the pool was small. Calling a buggy was really painful. We had to wait for 10-15 min usually, probably due to the lack of cars and staff. Calling a taxi was equally difficult. Concierge and front desk tried to send us to each other to avoid helping us. Breakfast selection was good but the food and juice we ordered sometimes were forgotten. It also took a long time to clean the used plates and glass. Pizza box was left outside our villa’s door overnight until we complained. Dinner buffet was ok but not good enough for that price. A waiter openly expressed dissatisfaction to the extra gratuities in addition to the 10% service charge. The rumor from outside was that staff were underpaid. We felt that staff were actively promoting all sorts of services in the hotel. Later we went out for dinner by taxi. The beach was beautiful but there were plenty of planktons or jellyfish in water which made swimming uncomfortable. If you really want a 5 star hotel, you should pick other islands in Seychelles.
