    Welcome to Paradise
    If Monet were to paint water lilies at night then no better place than to paint from the terrace of H Resort's Trader Vics with a background of birds singing their hearts out. Gardens of the hotel are beautiful,and well kept with the majestic mountains in the background. Then you have the beautiful white sandy beach on the other side of the hotel steps from your room. Our suite room was enormous with very comfortable bed, top quality sheets and even a pillow menu. Great housekeeping always room cleaning, copious bottled water etc. Our room had a terrace and sofa for two overlooking the gardens. Beautiful spa with a huge sauna and modern gym. The beach area although public is kept spotless and not single piece of plastic or rubbish. Turn up for the weekly cocktails held by Johannes the GManager to meet him and his team, who are are passionate about delivering the best and they love their island. Buffet breakfast is at Vascos with your feet almost in the sand and the breaking of the waves. A big thank you to Samuel on the Egg Station and his colleague for making me Eggs Benedict or super omelettes. There is a wide variety of dishes and non-stop great coffee. Breakfast served between 7am to 11am with never any sense of being rushed to finish and the buffet pretty much full and tidy until the last minute. So important for other time zone travellers and getting a lie-in. Thank you all at H. We had a great rest and have come back (very reluctantly), but so refreshed.
    Dear chezglobetrotter, Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review. I am very happy to hear that you liked the Resort and that the team made such a positive impact during your stay. Samuel will be thrilled by the recognition and it will motivate him even more. Radha in housekeeping will also relay to the team your appreciation. We hope to welcome you back to our little piece of paradise soon. Kind regards Johannes Steyn General Manager

    Beautiful spot in the Seychelles!
    We chose this place based on trying to find a reasonable priced room directly on the beach and this was perfect for the time we traveled. Although pricey, it did have an amazing breakfast included. Went to Trader Vic's for dinner and the fried rice was amazing and they had live music and dancing. Seyshima was ok, was expecting so much more then the typical Benihana type show, but they did exactly the same thing but more $. The buffet style was very pricey for people who don't eat much but tons of choices. The pool area was lovely with a bar right besides it, the Mai Tai's were delicious, just wish they always tasted the same with different bartenders. The pool is only a short walk to the beach and it was incredible to be floating in the pool or ocean and see the large fruit bats flying overhead. The beach was fabulous with perfect viewing of the sunset with lounge chairs. Loved that the trees over hang the beach, so you can sit in the shade if you like. The front desk was helpful with booking tours for the day and arranging cabs to go to town. The room was spacious, just be prepared when you go with family that the bathroom toilet area and shower have glass doors with only the bottom half frosted glass. Overall we were very happy with our decision to stay at the H Resort. You can't go the the Seychelles and not stay on the beach, some places are worth splurging for. We saw the sunset every night and each night it looked completely different with amazing colors, just lovely!!
    Dear Tribe1022, Thank you for writing such a detailed review. I am happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay. I take note of your comments and will discuss with the team to see how we can improve the guest experience and be more consistent. We hope to welcome you back to our little piece of paradise soon. Kind regards Johannes Steyn General Manager

    Wow, one of the most amazing hotels I’ve been to! Had an amazing 7 days stay during Christmas with my husband!!
    Wow, if you like to enjoy your vacation at the highest standard it’s definitely your place! In regards to cleaning I have never been to such a clean and nicely decorated hotel! You can see it in the small details like the toiletries and the soft and ironed towels, the high-quality pillows (as a lady with allergies the special excellent anti-allergenic pillows!) The room is equipped with everything you might need, an espresso machine with capsules, tea, hair dryer, slippers and a cozy robe. We stayed in a bungalow on the sea with a private and clean pool with heated water and a spectacular view of the sea! We enjoyed having breakfast by our private pool and spending the day on the double bed by the pool. The most difficult dilemma was whether to jump into the stunning pool or walk on the private beach a few meters away and to enjoy the ocean. Regarding the food: The hotel has several restaurants from different cuisines and each and one of them surprised me with the high standards of the chefs! We tried different restaurant during each evening and definitely enjoyed the experience! If you want to enjoy a meal with a private chef or eat in a restaurant with local delicacies is definitely recommended and very tasty (: The hotel stuff was kind, helpful, assisted us in any question or concern we had and made us feel so home during the Christmas week! As I mentioned before the small details.. let me share with you one gesture that warmed my heart very much! At the end of the festive and super tasty Christmas dinner! With tables full of all the best of the best cuisines in the world. A small red sock was waiting for us on the doorknob full with cookies and sweets . And it was definitely the most lovely gift we received in this holiday.(thank you to the amazing stuff at the H resort!! In regards to hotels my standards are high as a traveler, and I can tell you one thing The H Resort Beau Vallon introduced me to the highest level of hotels that you can find..! It’s definitely worth the stay and I’m waiting for my next winter vacation in Seychelles 🤩
    Dear Eliazlo, Thank you so much for the lovely review. The team will be very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay so much and it brings back very good memories. It is nice to hear that you liked the facilities on offer in the Resort and that the team made such a good impression. We hope to welcome you back very soon. Kind regards Johannes Steyn General Manager

I recently got married at this beautiful Hotel and I had a wonderful experience. From the day of check in on Friday the two amazing ladies Sheyl and Dorothy went above and beyond to make my day extra special. Dinner at Trader's Vic was delicious and the cocktails were to die for.

The location right at the beau vallon beach is just perfect. The service at the reception is outstanding and super friendly. Free yoga class was tailored to your requirements. Breakfast was great and the service knew you after a few visits. Eggs were prepared freshly. Although we haven’t experienced any difficulties, but the securities around the hotel were helpful. All in all you see that details matter at this resort. It was always clean and all the service staff was smiling and friendly all the time

What an excellent place and people, especially Sharon Michal, Lissette, Luciana the young lady that helped Lissette and the young male maître de. The food was second to none and plentiful and a full range of dishes. The cleanliness of our rooms was spot on. Keep up the good work and hopefully will be back within the next couple of years.

Me and my husband are still here and wanted to share with everyone how happy we are and how welcomed this place is. It is our 5th wedding anniversary and the team is so attentive to our needs that every day is actually a honeymoon for us. Most of all, we love food and comfort of the villa. Please keep doing the great job as we will recommend you to all our friends ❤️ Special thanks to Neige and Erol! Love from Joana and Mauritio

We have been stayed in this hotel for more than 20 days. And we are far more disappointed than glad. For you not to get in trap, take into consideration: 1. You will pay only for the good beach. The service in the hotel could be way better for such money. - Housekeepers started cleaning properly twice a day only after our complaint. And we asked to give us a certain housekeeper who could provide a proper service. Others were quite unresponsive - At the very first night the security officers woke us up around 2:30 am because somehow the fire alarm in our room worked off 2. Food - Breakfast buffet is extremely poor. There is only pork beacon and some kinds of sausages among meat dishes solely. Constantly the same breakfast menu. Eggs, sausages, beacon, often spoilt lettuce + several extra dishes. What was really good is the buns and coffee. - There are no decent restaurants in the hotel. The only one is Trader Vic’s, though even there they sometimes can’t provide good meal as all the seafood is imported and not as fresh as it is supposed to be. Burnt calamari, prawns and lobsters at Seishimi restaurant, amateur and messy looking sushi as well. Btw, the waitress spilled the soy sauce with the leftovers on the back of one of us. - The menu of all the outlets at the lunch time does not include any soups. During the daytime there are only 2 bars that work. And their menu looks more like for having snacks, not a wholesome lunch. - Again, no fish and seafood of high quality. Local fresh tuna appeared to be with the smell. Though their market in Victoria is full of fresh fish. There are even fishermen on the beach who could provide freshly caught fish. But in the hotel everything is imported, except tuna. - Most of the times there was no proper pizza during our stay. Uncooked dough and huge amount of tomato paste. - Having ordered a fruit platter, we were brought absolutely sour mangos and a tasteless papaya. However, we are aware that sweet fruits can easily be bought at their local market. - Some waitresses are not trained at all. They put fingers in bread, bring dirty glasses, packed butter instead of the fresh one. 3. Attitude The most shocking was when the executive chef showed us the table, not willing to see us near the open cooking. Btw, he personally did not apologize for such an inappropriate behaviour. We can’t say that everything was bad only. There are some very decent staff members. And we do appreciate their help. 4. Reception However, the final drop why we decided to write this review is our checkout from the hotel. We were shocked because they had combined the balances of our two rooms. “We thought you would pay together”. We believe they did this on purpose to hide extra charges which we wouldn’t be able to notice due to the limited time before leaving. The vocation was absolutely spoilt. 5 . Note also, to get to other city outlets you need to go across the sand beach, and all of them are quite frightful. Overall, Seychelles are for the ones who want to have some short romantic trip with no attention to good service and food. General poverty, homeless drug addicts on the beaches, beggars trying to sell you a coconut, no service, no food etc.

Dear Gloria, I am very sad to read that after all the attention we paid to you during the stay with us, you still left unhappy. Every consumption presented at your final bill has a supported slip signed by you. Therefore, nothing has been added that you hadn't consumed. Have a nice day and best regards, Jelena

The hotel is super nice! It is directly on a beautiful beach with exotic trees that offer some shade. the rooms are very nice and spacious. the domain is very beautiful and the staff is super friendly. everything is clean. the breakfast buffet is very nice and there are multiple options for dinner. dinner prices are a bit expensive but for Seychelles it’s normal I guess and the food is very good. overall the hotel has a good quality - price ratio.
