DoubleTree by Hilton Seychelles - Allamanda Resort & Spa

This small tranquil hotel is nestled in a picturesque cove on the south east coast of Mahe. 30 Rooms all seem to have a sea view and are up to Hilton standards as are other areas, facilities and staff training. There is a good spa and a small gym, and we enjoyed the ping pong and pool tables. The infinity pool has plenty of sun beds and chairs. There are no organised classes eg Yoga/keep fit and there is no dive station or tour desk at the hotel, but reception are happy to suggest tours and organise car hire. The buffet offerings were no-nonsense and unfussy, sometimes a bit plain for my palate, but they varied the pork, beef, fish and chicken dishes daily. Surprisingly limited seafood options but these were available on the à la carte menu as were vegetarian options. Although the beach is sandy there are rocks and sea urchins once in the water so I strongly recommend aqua shoes. A reef 100m out absorbs the force of strong waves leaving a choppy sea experience with strong currents closer to shore. It is still fun but we stayed close to the shoreline. The sea is calmer early morning and that is the best time to snorkel at this hotel. The sand has not been churned up so visibility is clear and there are plenty of tropical fish to see in waist deep water. I was delighted to even see a couple of Rays. We hired a car through the hotel and enjoyed discovering various other beaches all with a different flavour. Some had smooth sand and were calm as a lake whilst others had rocks/coral further out for snorkelling. One of our faves was Anse Intendance - nothing beats being dumped on your face on smooth sand by massive waves! A relaxing stay at a secluded hotel.

The hote location on the sea with great atmosphere , with great pepole (love to help) the rooms with view to the sea(3rd level) are amazing

Absolutely wonderful stay! The hotel is stunning, the beach is beautiful, the infinity pool is breathtaking, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable.
