Top Cerf Island Hotel Reviews
Crown Beach Hotel
"This is nice little hotel South East coast of Mahe. We choose it because it was on the beach. We enjoyed that location. Despite rail disruption we manged to attend few activities at Mahe and next door Moyeene island. Sadly due to rain and rough sea/ocean our day visit to Praslene and La Digue was cancelled. Hope to visit this islands in future. Our main intention to visit islands of Seychelles islands was to celebrate our 44th anniversary. We did that with Hilton Honor Hotel at North Mahe as part of their Romantic Island Picnic arrangement."
Four Seasons Resort Seychelles
"Our choice of the Four Seasons was the right one. Amazing attention to detail from the staff. Great food options and romantic activities. We will definitely go again. It’s a short hop from South Africa. A beautiful romantic, luxury location."
Kempinski Seychelles Resort
"Very nice property well maintained ecofriendly Beds were not made to my liking"
Mango House Seychelles, LXR Hotels & Resorts
"Perfect place to stay in Mahe. The staff were cheerful and helpful and the rooms were clean (housekeeping twice a day)! It is on the quieter side of Mahe so it felt really peaceful. The food at Moutya was great on our last night - the red snapper curry was the best we had across all the islands! Would definitely stay here again!"
Eden Bleu Hotel
"Beautiful hotel, pool, rooms, property. Extremely helpful staff. Breakfast buffet was fantastic. Next to shops and other restaurants too. Only 20 minutes from airport. Daily beach shuttle."
STORY Seychelles
"Ckean and friendly staff. Amazing landscaped resort, great to walk and enjoy the serenity. Beach is close and we got lucky the water was low and clear."
Avani Plus Barbarons Seychelles Resort
"The room was nice overlooking the lagoon. But it had a smell. A musty smell everytime we walked in. I am not sure what it was from. The breakfast was good. There was a good selection of items and the staff was helpful. I wo up avoid the busy time. It’s crazy! Overall our stay at the hotel was nice. I wish the person who checked us in was more attentive and explained where things were and such. Instead, e had to figure out on our own that we needed towel cards, where the towels were and such. While we waited for our room, I watched other employees take guests around and show the things and explain the resort. So make sure you get someone more helpful."
Beach House Beau Vallon
"Very good hotel. Clean and comfortable. WiFi was good. AC good. Right on the beach. 5 min walk to the shops and restaurants. Best beach on the island. About 15-20 Min drive to Victoria. Great staff. Highly recommend"
Hilton Seychelles Northolme Resort & Spa
"Beautiful property, you really feel the jungle paradise and the beach area is just perfect! The staff is beyond compare, helpful and friendly. The pool with the ocean and mountains in the background is the cherry on top."
