Lovely view from the top
Posted 15 Aug 2016
Pros: The view and proximity to not only the beach but shops and restaurants
Cons: Not much
Location: Not far from the beach with safe snorkeling, 10 mins walk to town with shops, fruit and veg market and restaurants
We travelled as a family of three and had the top apartment with the best view out over the sea where it is safe to snorkel. It was very spacious and well appointed with two double-bed bedrooms with firm mattresses and a safe. Bedroom 1 has an ensuite Bedroom 2 has a shower room next door which is also accessible from the lounge There is a huge balcony with a table and six chairs where you can eat your breakfast watching the fishermen in their boats search the sea bed every morning. Fruit bats fly close by close enough to touch and even enjoy the banana tree in the garden. It is on a steep hill about 150 meters up a 1 in 4 hill so a car or some level of fitness is required. There are 3 pin 240V electric sockets (UK style) and plenty of them to charge your devices and there is also Wi-Fi in each apartment (free). It is about a 10 minute walk into town where there are shops and restaurants but no pavement some of the way so you will be close to the traffic on a busy(ish) road. There is also no lighting so a torch is essential if walking in at night. Solana can organise car rental for you at a good rate which I would recommend even though there is a bus stop at the bottom of the hill.

Solo honeymoon ;p
Posted 2 Aug 2016 on HotelsI stayed here for my 18 hour layover in Seychelles. I wish my layover was longer... this place was a pure gem. Solana arranged a pick up from the airport as I landed late from South Africa that day, and waited for my arrival to check-in. I couldn't believe how big the room was! The next day, I woke up to a beautiful ocean view. Breathtaking... I used to live in Hawaii and it was def better ;) Walked over to the beach in the morning and it was like a private beach - no one was there. Clear blue sky and clear blue water. I would definitely come back here with my bf next time!

Hotel /B&B was nice but the beach was so so!!
Posted 8 Jul 2015 on Travelocity
Pros: I liked the ocean-view in the suites!!I also liked the owners and thought they were very helpful!! The owner let me store my baggage for 3 days!Thanks
Cons: The beach is not very good but that is really not the owners fault!!!
Location: Location is only good for six months of the year when the beach is not infested massive seaweed!!!
I liked the B& B and would stay there again if I had a car to get around!! The beach is filled with seaweed six months of the year and is unswim-able!!!Going in the water makes you feel slimy!! The room was very nice and well equipped!! I like the people that run the place and the restaurant up the hill recommended by the owner was tasty and very reasonable!!

BEST hostess on Mahe!
Posted 5 Jul 2015 on HotelsWe stayed there twice i.e. June 23* & July 04 - the 1st time* our flight came in late but the transfer Solana ('S') had arranged was waiting for us @ airport & so was S - warm towels & welcome drink at mid-night! COOL room & ditto on 4th when she also loaned us flippers/fins! Close to bus stop & too superb snorkeling spot & shops! She could not have been nicer (& ditto her daughter) & the view is out of this world! We'll be back!

Posted 27 May 2015 on HotelsPricey, and not that great. Checkout is pretty ridiculous 10am. They charge for internet, despite the 75 euro price tag per room per night.

Good base
Posted 2 May 2015
Pros: Helpful staff, great location, nice beach, village has all you need.
Cons: If the property had a plunge pool - it would be perfect.
Location: The island is relatively small, so you can get round easily. Don't go to the Seychelles unless you like messing about in/on the water.
Fantastic welcome- Juliette couldn't have been more helpful. We had the last room available (and probably the smallest) but for our short stay it was fine. We were able to see the other apartments and they are spacious and well appointed. The block looks out over the beach, with a steep approach - like many other Seychelles properties. Anse Royale offers a bank, petrol station, several supermarkets and restaurants. We hired a car through the property, which they dropped off. Would like the chance to visit again.

Cute place
Posted 14 May 2014
Pros: Staff was amazing. Super nice.
Cons: Couldn't get internet from the room. Paperwork showed we could log into wifi but we couldn't get any service. Not sure if it had to do with the storm
Location: Couple good restaurants, fresh fish from fisherman to buy in the morning
Only stayed one night but the staff was extremely nice, helpful and very welcoming. We stayed in the small room with no sea view. Perfect accommodations for one night. Anything more I would recommend one of the sea view rooms. Otherwise it may be small for some people.

Dear Guest.
Yes, the apartment without the sea view is smaller than those with sea view. However, it is just as comfortable, but much cheaper in price.
