Eden Island hotel rooms a the Independent

"Overall this is a gorgeous hotel and definitely honeymoon worthy. My main complaint is how difficult it is to book the restaurants - we only stayed 3 days and arrived and there was NO availability. They managed to squeeze us in early and late 2 nights, but why not have enough availability for all guests? It’s a shame it’s not adults only - there are very few kids, mainly babies, and it’s awkward for everyone when there’s one baby at breakfast crying in amongst all the couples. It’s fantastic having two beaches. The food was great, the layout of the buffet could be more spacious (and what’s with the neon lights?!) and the coffee is awful. Better coffee, free bikes for everyone, better availability of the restaurants and adults only would be 10/10. "

"The breakfast was just it for me. Lots of food and different spread enough to cater for everyone and every tongue and tribe. It was my best part of the day "

"Yes, and staff were amazing. I would recommend staying in Hilton"

"It was a really nice stay. Friendly and helpful staff, easy access to the beach and beautiful ocean view."

"I absolutely loved everything about this hotel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I was pleasantly surprised with a birthday celebration at breakfast. This place is amazing. I will definitely stay here again. The ocean view from the patio was a great touch each morning and the sounds of waves to help me sleep at night. A great experience highly recommended."

"Amazing breakfast selection! And the view from my room of the pool and marina was incredible. Gorgeous hotel and friendly staff, would highly recommend! "

"I want to start by saying that the hotel itself is absolutely beautiful — the property, the location, and especially the housekeeping staff, maintenance team, and waiters were truly wonderful. They were kind, attentive, and made many parts of our stay enjoyable. My feedback is meant to highlight areas for improvement, not to discourage anyone from choosing this hotel.However, there were several experiences that left me feeling frustrated, particularly because I was traveling with kids after a 36-hour trip and really hoped for a smoother arrival. Almost every hotel has a check-in time of 2–3 PM, and I completely understand that. I arrived around noon, and after answering several questions during the check-in process, it was already past 1 PM. I was told the room would be ready “shortly,” but we ended up having to wait until after 2 PM. What made it frustrating is that many hotels allow guests to enter the room a few minutes early if it’s already available — especially when they can clearly see the family is exhausted after long travel. Even a small gesture like that would have made a big difference.Throughout the stay, I felt like certain front-desk or bar staff were looking for a reaction instead of trying to be helpful. For example, I was at the pool enjoying a peaceful moment with my kids, but when the sun became too strong, I tried to move them to the shade quickly. Instead of allowing me to get them settle, the bar staff member sprinted over to stop me from leaving before"

"Beautiful hotel and rooms. Walkable to the only “town” on Mahe. Great beach and perfect pool. Yummy breakfast. Great relaxing spa. 35 min to airport!"

"Property was amazing with super friendly staff who looked after the family extremely well. Our daughter had her 4th birthday whilst staying and the staff made her a cake and even went out of their way to get her a present and card. Super friendly staff who went above and beyond in everything they did. "
