Savoy Seychelles Resort & Spa

From Korea, I had a wonderful first day at the Savoy in Seychelles. The hotel manager, Andri, was incredibly kind. He handled everything I didn't know how to do, such as ensuring we had a great room and booking a taxi to the Mahé ferry terminal the next day. I highly recommend this hotel. The sea is fantastic, and there are plenty of delicious food options available. If I have the opportunity to visit Seychelles again, I would like to spend several nights at the Savoy.

I had a wonderful experience on the eve of my birthday! I got a little surpise in the morning and especially since it was same as.the women's day. They made some effort to sing a happy birthday 🫶

Beneath the glossy exterior the resort is very "tired" and rather tatty. Staff, though mostly lovely and very helpful, didn't seem to be trained effectively - eg, we had 3 different answers about opening times for the bar etc. The day we arrived we were allocated a room adjacent to a an informal parking lot: early evening we were almost deafened by car engines revving and thumping music - it was the gathering spot for local teens. I visited reception to ask for a room change: they told me th noise could go on til 2:30am next day, but they were booked to capacity with no rooms available. A quick check on booking.com showed numerous rooms available, plus it was obvious from walking around the resort it was far from full. Unashamedly lying to their customers, wow. We did get a new room in a much nicer position, but it was rather too little too late. We'd paid for the "all-inclusive" option, which proved a mistake. The selection of drinks available to us was pathetic, we ended up paying for "proper" drinks at the bar. For food, avoid the buffet: flies crawling all over the fish etc. We decided it wasn't for us and traveled home a week earlier than we'd booked and paid for, that was how much we disliked the resort!

Our stay at Savoy Hotels was a pleasure and e truly great experience, we loved the green and lush landscape, the pool area is so nice , clean and big , perfect for kids , the room was very big and clean, the restaurants are amazing, we enjoyed all type of food, breakfast is very diverse, a lot of cheese selection, fruits, vegetables, omelets, we loved the food and the variety of it . The beach is beautiful with amazing views and soft white sand, the sunset is stunning. We enjoyed our stay here and we definitely come back soon. Alex

I am writing this in a state of absolute shock and distress. After the heartwarming hospitality at Acajou (Praslin) and Patatran (La Digue), where we were greeted with cold towels and welcome drinks, arriving at the Savoy Seychelles felt like being processed by a cold, soulless machine. This is NOT a 5-star experience; it is a nightmare. Here is why: The Arrival: We were ignored and forced to wait for 1.5 hours in a drafty, freezing marble lobby during a rainstorm. No welcome drink, no attention, just being treated as numbers in a queue. Room 2015 – Not for a family: We booked a Standard room for 2+2, but it was physically unprepared. No space for children to sleep. I had to fight just to get basic bed linen. Even now, we have only TWO mugs andvtwo spoons for FOUR people. Do my children not exist to your staff? The AC "Logic": The centralized AC cannot be turned off from the panel. The ONLY way to stop the freezing air is to keep the balcony door open. This is a "luxury" choice between living in a refrigerator with ice-cold marble floors or sleeping with an open door in the deafening noise of the bar and rain. Noise and Indifference: The loud music from the bar is unbearable. The staff is indifferent. Savoy feels like a cheap, poorly managed suburban boarding house. I am completely upset because this hotel has ruined the final part of our Seychellois vacation.
