Resorts en Bel Ombre

Ventajas: - The design of the rooms and the style of the room balcony. - Mr.Bryno the F&B manager and his quick action, actually he moved as soon as I checked in to help to do some preparation for the proposal. - Mr.Dipok he works in the down stairs bar, he did his best to prepare for the proposal dinner and he went the extra mile. - Some of the staff is really friendly and smile and genuinely want to help you. - The compensation with two cocktails vouchers as an apology for the noise from next room.

Desventajas: - The buffet for dinner is repeated. - Taste of food is not what you expect when you enter a Meridien, on a certain day of the week the food was unbelievably salty. - I have been In different hotels for Meriden, never got to pay for drinks in the buffet atleast for soft drinks. - I sent an e-mail when I booked the room, as our stay was for marriage proposal, I got the reply on it after I checked in!! - The entrance to the beach is very dangerous and actually it's not an entrance, keeping it there just for sake of saying that you have an entrance to the beach is kind of tricking your customers, somebody could loose their life there. - Few times the reception was left out without anyone there, you have to call few times until someone picks up your call. - As a suggestion, when people talk about Seychelles the thoughts that come to your head is how it's romantic over there and it's a couple holiday, however some people also like to bring their kids and do it as a family trip so if you can make a separate wing only for adults or without kids that will be great, more appropriate for the families and the couples. We were woken up by the babies in the adjacent room crying in our first night. - Meridien is a big name in tourism and hotels world, when I chose the Meridien to propose to my girlfriend, it's because I trust the name, I know I will get what I paid for and extra mile not necessarily materialistic stuff but atleast small actions and things that makes the experience memorable and special but I was honestly disappointed, I didn't get that extra mile at all I barely got what I paid for. Maybe I would get the same treatment if I went to a bit lower class hotel or maybe better treatment as they would try to build a name for them selves.

Ventajas: La habitación es amplia y muy cómoda

Desventajas: Si bien el hotel está frente al mar, para disfrutarlo hay que trasladarse más de 200 mts. No hay reposeras del hotel en la playa. No hay servicio de bar en la piscina. Todos nos quejamos ante la falta de jabón en las habitaciones

Ventajas: The property and room were exceptional. The room was big and had a beautiful balcony and direct uninterrupted views of the ocean. The room was styled uniquely with a shower in the middle, which suited us as we were on our honeymoon. The bar-restaurant had exceptionally good food and the staff were more friendly.

Desventajas: The staff were not pleasant or hospitable. While leaving one of their restaurants, I often got stopped by random staff members and asked if I have signed or paid the bills, in one instance they asked me to wait while they checked if I have. If this happened once I might excuse it as a random mistake. However, I got stoped over 4 times during my stay of 3 days. I suspect this is to do with some form of profiling. At an esteemed brand such as Le Meridien, you expect to be treated with a certain courtesy which we did not experience. I was severely disappointed by this behaviour. Our experience at the spa was very poor. We booked a 90-minute massage package for couples that focused on the feet. The brochure specifically said 30 minutes of feet massage and the rest as body massage. However, once we were in the room, the massage we got was nothing related to the massage we booked. For instance, they spent more time massaging my head than my feet. The masseuse didn't ask once if the pressure was okay. The massage staff seemed untrained, it felt like they were just rubbing oil over the body as there was no technique or pressure, which our particular package required. Worst yet, my masseuse was massaging me with one hand, half the time. I can easily say it's one of the worst massages I've had, which I was not expecting from a brand like Le Meridien. We spoke to the duty manager (I forgot their name but I think it might have been Lin) about our experience and she said she would look into it and get back to us. However, we never got any formal explanation regarding our poor experience. The dinner buffet food was okay but nothing to write home about. The closest beach to the resort is Beau Vallon Beach, however, there is no access to it from the resort and the easiest way to get there is by walking 10 minutes via the main road but the road doesn't have footpaths, hence it's not easy to use.

Ventajas: Linda y amplia habitación Buen desayuno

Desventajas: La playa al frente del hotel no existe. Hay que caminar un poco para tener playa, aunque no es muy buena. El hotel no tiene servicio de playa, ni sillones, ni sombrillas, ni nada. Escasean agua mineral, toallas y productos de aseo. Restaurante caro. Hotel muy caro para lo que ofrece.

Ventajas: Very friendly and helpful personnel. Thanks a lot!

Desventajas: The rooms are old. The beach is closed and there is a difficult access to the neighbor beach. We wanted to swim after 5 pm and had to walk by a car road without a sidewalk

Ventajas: La habitación con hermosas vistas al océano y la gastronomía

Desventajas: La playa es muy pequeña

Ventajas: El paisaje

Desventajas: Las instalaciones y tiene mocos servicios de playa como snorkel y kayak

Ventajas: location is very good breakfast is very good access to the beach very friendly staff shuttle service to victoria town

Desventajas: unfortunately due to stormy weather the pool was closed during our stay lack of night entertainment

Ventajas: Great staff

Desventajas: The pool was closed during our entire stay. The beach access was closed and it was very difficult for us to go and come to the beach.

Ventajas: I loved that the staff later during the day & evening through out my stay were super friendly and supportive as apposed to the early morning shift on the morning of my arrival , the location otherwise is great to.

Desventajas: I felt the hotel needed serious up grading with respect to all of its facilities including the rooms , everything from lobby , reception and room is outdated . for the same price you can find newer hotels on the Island for cheaper rates . As well Maybe consider adding entertainment on other days of the week for hotel guests and not only weekends . Weekdays are dead .

Ventajas: Location (best beach on Mahe), service, helpful staff, a la carte restaurant (food is excellent, but expensive), nice walkway along the beach. Great stay overall.

Desventajas: You have to walk away from the hotel for a better part of the beach if you want to swim with children. In front of the hotel is the coral part suitable for snorkling only. The bath tub and shower in Bougainvillea Creole Suite are right in the middle of the room, which is a bit confusing and not convenient for families with kids. Quite a long walk to the nearest cafes/restaurants if you`d like to eat somewhere out of the hotel. Small swimming pool.

Ventajas: Perfect location, very friendly & helpful personnel, big comfortable suite (unexpected upgraded from Hibiscus room to Orchid Creole suite), lovely pool with umbrellas with free towels and water.

Desventajas: One tip: absolutely wonderful hotel with most friendly and helpful people, but use the facilities (food & drinks) somewhere else. Facilities in the hotel are overpriced: Buffet: €135 total for 2 persons (incl. 1 beer and 1 coke). Laundry: €80 for 9 pieces of clothing, 1 hour massage: €86 The bathroom was very outdated with minimal comfort (shower was way too low for my boyfriend and couldn't be adjusted). €35 was silently added to our bill because we accidently lost 1 very worn flipper that we borrowed from the hotel).

Ventajas: at trip advisor pepople dont say good about this hotel, it´s not true very good hotel. i booked the chepeast room and it´s enough.

Desventajas: food not special i eat much better at the orangerie at la digue

Ventajas: Location,comfort and service is excellent

Desventajas: It is very expensive to eat at the hotel

Ventajas: just the place is good. The room is nice and comfortable the employees are extremely helpful and friendly.

Desventajas: the breakfast for a 5 Star hotel was just poor. 300 Euro for a room and a buffet for a poor man. Sorry 3 star hotels in Eastern Europe are by far better. The restaurant within the Hotel complex requires also urgent improvement of their dishes. A beach hotel in the middle of the fish richest places in the world and an Hotel restaurant that supplies only Tuna Steak and Red Snapper fillet for 90 Euro upwards. This can only leave a guest with the impression that this is a fuck up. I ended up to go to other restaurants just because the choice of food is too limited and overpriced there. A warning for all the vegetarians sorry guys salads are restricted to cucumber, tomato and green salad leaves only

Ventajas: The room, the food,evrything is ok.

Desventajas: The dresscode for the dinner is very strange idea at 30 degrees when people take their vacantion. And the result is empty resturant.

Ventajas: Location, staff, envairoment

Desventajas: it is quite expensive.
