    I stayed there last year! Definitely within my top 3 favourite hotels to stay in. The waiters were so polite and friendly! The food was divine! The villa was just... AMAZING - accompanied by the pool. Room service was fast. I mean.. Y'all really astonished me! I am lost for words. I 100% WILL return! Well done!

    I stayed here in 2019 and have to say it was stunning. Yes, admittedly the rooms were not the pinnacle of luxury but they were still fantastic. The resort itself, pools, beach, gardens were absoultely amazing. Food was great too. A very odd review, in my opinion.

    It was very unclear why you didn’t like this one? This resort looked MUCH better than all the others you’ve reviewed in the Seychelles. Except the room, but it also wasn’t a villa so it’s not apples to apples? The pools looked by far the best, and the choice of beaches outstanding. Even the sun loungers looked much more luxurious than the ones at the Four Seasons (which seemed to have the absolutely worst, cheap looking public areas and pool but the best villa/room).

    Charlie H Yes it’s weird. Maybe the video isn’t conveying it. I thought the public areas and beaches here looked absolutely stunning! Room was also much better than many of the Aman rooms he loves so much... but of course not as great as that Four Seasons villa. Although travelling that far to get a bad beach and mediocre pool just to get a nice villa seems not worth it?

    Because when you see the kinds of luxurious hotels and resorts he has stayed at and videotaped before and since, this one probably looked 'cheap' and underwhelming by comparison. To him, anyways. He's a little spoiled, in other words. And who can blame him? Most of the places he has stayed at, us commonfolk can only dream of going to with our salaries and budgets.

E.g the Lobby, the Buggy driver is now the Villa Manager😉, New big Buggies, Logo changed, Pillows on the bed! TV Remote, staff uniforms, Furnitures....Everything has changed since back then, it's great to see a glimpse of this beautiful Resort. 💕

    We went to Ephelia in 2015 and enjoyed it, but the resort had a few little flaws, but it's better than Kempinski which is the other Mahe hotel we've stayed at. Our favourite Seychelles resorts are Constance Lemuria and Coco de Mer on Praslin, and Denis Island which is the best place we've been to in the world so far.

Epheila beach views and natural aspect is farr better than lemuria. Which is not have natural feeling with all golf feilds.it look more as a resort in florida. The beach in lemuria is poor..but Lemuria have acess to one of the best beaches in the world. Anse georgette.
