My girlfriend and I went to Seychelles in the end of may 2017.

The location is great. You need only 20 minutes from airport to accommodation. Near accommodation you'll find shopping options or some local restaurants.
I can recommend lending a car during your stay. The chalets are separated and you won't be disturbed from the neighbors. The rooms are big enough for two people but there are also some chalets which are bigger for families. The chalet is modern and you have enough space.
You'll find also every item for cooking eating and take away boxes.
You can reach the beach in less than one minute.
The beach is a beautiful place you will love it! You've a Caribbean like beach and corals with beautiful fishes right in front of accommodation.
The owner of the chalet are also great.

Please help to save our environment and collect during your stay one bag of plastic. With such actions we can save our oceans and lands for generations!

@ chalets d'Anse Forbans thank you for a great stay and for the help.

Dear Angelo D
Thank you so much for staying with us. We so enjoyed hosting you and enjoyed getting to know you both. We also thank you so much for caring for the environment which we are deeply passionate about. We hope to welcome you both back in the future and show you the community conservation programme efforts in reef restoration with their sea and land coral nursery which we hope will be started before the year end.
Thank you again for staying with us, it was a pleasure to host you both. Come back soon.

Perfect, quiet location for complete relaxation. Thirty paces from our bungalow to the edge of the beach, gentle slope down the sand, a few more paces to enter the warm sea. Bliss. Sea shoes recommended. I only wore fins as I spent my time snorkelling, spotting something different every day during our two week stay, especially the Eagle Rays, Unicorn and Batfish.

Comfortable cushions for loungers, shade provided by trees.
This was our third visit and we’ll definitely be returning. Chalet cleaned everyday and tea towel replaced. Sheets and towels regularly changed. We noticed suggestions regarding storage containers had been actioned. Our patio area enjoyed privacy from neighbours with a hedge.

Bridgette and Daphne are a fountain of information, friendly and helpful.
Bus stop nearby. Cars for hire. Short walk along the road is a small shop, useful for bread, and whatever they have to sell on the day! We brought food basics, pasta, rice, for initial few days. We asked our driver from airport to stop at a supermarket, quickly buying fresh fruit and veg and other heavy goods.

We used the bus to Anse Royale, several small supermarkets but better choice and cheaper in Victoria market for fish, fresh fruit and vegetables, making good use of the cool bag and small ice block we brought with us.

A morning walk along the beach will find local fishermen selling their catch. A large red snapper and Grouper cost 100 Rupees. Glad we had a freezer!

We really loved our stay at the Chalets. It was the perfect choice for our family of four. We stayed in the family bungalow. I'll detail the outstanding points below:

Kitchen: equipped with fridge, stove, toaster. We brought our own dry goods, which included: boxes of Kraft macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, jelly, granola bars, snack mixes. The Chalets provide you with 1 carton of milk, 1 loaf of bread, and 1 liter of water.

Bathroom: our bathroom included 2 toilets on opposite ends, a shower in the middle, and two sinks on opposite ends. A small round soap is provided for washing hands, a bar of soap is provided for the shower, and 1 body wash and 1 shampoo are provided in the shower. Note: the shampoo is EXTREMELY small (sample size - not even travel-size - so bring your favorite. No hair conditioner is provided.) Bathrooms towels were replaced once during our six-night stay.

Bedrooms: the bathroom connects the bedrooms. A wooden drying rack is located in the closet for you to pull out and use. Note: it probably is best to use the drying rack in the bungalow versus outdoors if you ever hope for your clothing/swimwear to dry.

Layout: Excellent for our family of four. Open family area with couch and chairs melds into the dining table area . Breakfast bar with open kitchen. No TV, but so glad there wasn't! (Also, wish that there wasn't any WIFI, but sadly there is - and it's reliable as well - again, sadly!)

Office: the office has an extensive selection of novels in a variety of languages with a very respectable amount of English-language books. We also borrowed a pair of swim fins during our stay.

Convenience store: mainly for water, soft drinks, beer, potato chips and that's about it! Good luck finding bread around Takamaka. Larger stores we went to were either down to their last loaf or "finished" or didn't receive a delivery for the day.

Car rental: We did NOT rent a car during our stay and never regretted that decision. We did have the Chalets arrange our airport pick-up, but after that, we simply rode the bus. There's a close bus stop near the Chalets, but also another one closer to the Doubletree Hilton and convenience store. We got everywhere we needed to go - dive shops, church in Anse Royale, Victoria, Surfers restaurant, Bel Ombre - simply using the five-rupee-per-ride bus. Fabulous!

Pick-ups - A dive shop on the west end of the island will pick you up from the Chalets, as will Le Reduit restaurant

Travelling with kids: You may want to consider packing snorkels and masks, a frisbee, inflatable beach balls, inflatable swim rings to maximize your fun

Additional notes: Probably the only thing I wish we had better access to would be trash bins so we could throw away our own garbage, instead of waiting for the daily housekeeping. ANYTHING left out is an immediate ant magnet. (I feel itchy just writing this!)

Beach: One of the best reasons for staying at these self-catering accommodations. We went to Beau Vallon and Anse Major, and the beach at the Chalets was our hands-down favorite -- great for snorkeling, swimming, or just bobbing about! Really wonderful snorkeling: saw squid, sea slugs, sea cucumbers, sea snakes, gigantic angel fish, sting ray and more! There is a significant amount of seaweed, and depending on the current, sometimes floating, but nothing to impact your fun Areas closer to shore had much, much less. Lovely sky colors at sunrise and sunset from the beach.

We were very pleased with our stay - I am pretty particular and rarely leave "excellent" ratings unless I really, truly mean it! This met our expectations!

Dear DesertDweller32 and Family
Thank you for your review and information for future guests. Just to clarify the following- your bathroom towels are changed every 2 days and bread is available in our Takamaka area and at the small shop some 500m from us or else in Quatre Borne some 1km away and on the bus route. All starter packs are not renewed they are merely there to start you off on your self catering holiday.
We are delighted to read the family was pleased with their stay and it met your expectations.
Kind Regards
Daphne

A wonderful place to stay, straight out of your chalet onto the beach, lovely swimming and good snorkelling. Chalets are roomy and very nicely laid out and beautifully clean. Every one very smilely and helpful.If you are self catering the kitchen is not to well equiped,but do ask as they may have what you need. A trip to the supermarket before you arrive is essential as the starter pack is not over generous and if you have not got a car shopping is more difficult although you can catch a bus!

We spent 4 days in a Chalet facing the ocean in August and really wished we had stayed longer. The location is quiet and lovely, the beach is idyllic. The owners have been very helpful and eager to accommodate us, providing the cot and high chair we needed for our baby. We highly recommend this place.
