Short Reviews On Resorts & Hotels In Seychelles

Postcards depict real world locations to be more somewhat prettier than they actually are. However, in the case of the Seychelles, such is simply impossible! Once the shock of most everyday items being rather on the expensive side has passed, there really is very little anybody could find to complain about this heaven on Earth. For any traveler with dreams of upscale hotels, quiet beauty and nature at its finest, few places the world over can hold a candle to the Seychelles. Comprised of a total of 115 islands, it is quite impossible for most to see and do everything the Seychelles has to offer, though to be fair, most travel to the nation in order to do as little as possible. Indeed, with stunning blues seas, bright white beaches lined by luxury hotels and year-round tropical weather, who could resist simply sitting back and drinking in as much of it all as possible?

If money is no object, extravagant vacations await in luxury hotels in Seychelles like Maia Luxury Resort located on Mahe Island. The Maia hotel has a well-deserved reputation for making gall guests feel like nobody on Earth is quite as important as they are, with suites that completely surpass the word 'luxury' in every possible way, each of which features the services of a 24 hour private butler on hand to cater for every possible desire. Privacy and exclusivity is paramount at the Maia hotel, where although very little comes cheaply, it is simple to see where every penny goes. Slightly less astronomically priced though with similar facilities is the Constance Ephelia Resort, covering a large area of sumptuously beautiful land right by the edge of the ocean. The on-site restaurants are a particular favorite in this resort, as is the golf-buggy service to get around the hotel complex for anyone looking to save their feet a little work. Hilton offers the Northolme Resort and Spa, which is about as far away from their usually city offerings as is possible to be. This stunning hillside hotel boasts spacious rooms, a popular infinity pool and some of the best views to be found anywhere on the island.

For those traveling on a budget, the Seychelles is generally not a place overflowing with bargains. Still, there are several fine hotels in Seychelles offering lodgings for a fraction of the cost of others, with a particularly favorable nod going to Romance Bungalows. Though perhaps a little short of fairy tale honeymoon-worth, Romance hotel is situated right on the beach at Beau Vallon, close to all amenities and offers quite simply the best value overall. Just a little more cash will afford a stay at the Coral Strand Hotel also located in Beau Vallon, which sports a simply spectacular location and provides comprehensively excellent service. A good mid-range hotel is the Le Jardin des Palms located in Victoria, with a hillside location among luscious gardens and offering unrivalled views of the surrounding resorts and hotels. Twelve rooms ensure a high level of privacy and exclusivity is maintained at all times.

While it would only be fair to say that the Seychelles stops little short of catering for the budget traveler, it would be equally fair to point out that is simply is not possible for everywhere to do so. The Seychelles has always been known to have an air of exclusivity, appealing to those looking for a once in a lifetime trip such as a honeymoon. It is indeed possible to enjoy a dream holiday in hotels of Seychelles without the need to consider a second mortgage, though doing so requires a good degree of forethought combined with careful wariness of the less-scrupulous tour operator. However, guests are warned that it often takes just a single visit to the Seychelles to realize just what they have been missing out on, somewhat casting a permanent shadow over lesser alternatives worldwide.
