STORY Seychelles

This is a review to mention a member of staff who was very helpful and attentive. A big thank you to Kamlesh at the arrival/departure desk. He couldn't of been more helpful, and charming. Many thanks

Story Seychelles is a wonderful location for a family getaway. The location is on the pristine Beau Vallon beach with snorkeling available just ~100 yards out. At the pool, the lifeguard Sanjeev went above and beyond everyday. He ensured our spot was clean, comfortable, and we had everything we need. He shared about the various activities going on. We enjoyed our stay and definitely would be back.

We stayed here for 2 nights after disembarking a cruise early the first morning with the result being we arrived at 10.00 am. We weren't hopeful that our rooms would be ready, but having to wait until after 4pm was just ridiculous. They knew that there was a group coming in early and made no preparation to accommodate us at all. Apart from the standard "welcome" drink, we were not offered anything during the long wait, not even water. There were many disgruntled guests. We did not eat at any of the establishments at the resort, but left to eat at outside venues, which were much cheaper. The only highlight of our visit was the stellar job done by Jason in organizing our airport transfer which was running late. He was on the phone until he had a satisfactory result. We were so pleased that he made this his priority and saved a lot of angst. Thanks Jason!

We have both travelled extensively. We both work in tourism and the hospitality industry. We spent two weeks at the Story. After just a few days, we felt right at home. What fascinated us most was the hospitality and genuine friendliness of the staff, who come from many different cultures and countries. We would particularly like to mention Amaa (Front Office Manager); she is a gem. Marlon, the General Manager, and Rohan, the Executive Chef, are always on hand and equally guest-focused. The gardens are very spacious – a dream – and the beach is uniquely beautiful; as there are almost no tides, you can swim without restriction. It is worth noting that the beach in front of the resort is cleaned every day. The service of Sanjeev at the beautiful pool and beach loungers is top-notch. The Junior Suite is well designed, and the covered terrace is wonderful, even if it rains briefly. Our favourite restaurant is Seyshima. The team, comprising Tanya, her lovely colleagues and chef Nipun, is top-notch. The spa, with its friendly staff and excellent treatments, is very relaxing and just amazing. From the gym, you have a wonderful view of the garden. Conclusion: we very much hope we can come back next year. Our verdict is that Story Seychelles is clearly the best resort on Beau Vallon Beach.

I had an excellent stay with amazing facilities and plenty of free activities to enjoy. The pool and beachside experience was made even better thanks to Sanjeev, pool lifeguard — he’s an outstanding host, always helpful, and truly enhances the atmosphere. Vijay and Jhony were also fantastic, going out of their way to assist and make the stay memorable. Together, they created a welcoming and supportive environment that made my time at Story Seychelles truly special.
