Kempinski Seychelles Resort

We had such a lovely stay at the Kempinski Seychelles, for the second year in a row. The most wonderful part for us (asides from the picturesque beach setting) was the staff. Joel at the beach was a particularly wonderful person who made us feel so welcome and was so attentive and played beautifully with our son. Nima at Windsong is such a warm character and Dhanbeer one of the chefs made sure our dietary requirements were completely looked after. I've never been to a hotel where everyone is so amazingly friendly and great with children. Thank you all for such a special and memorable stay!

Is only 5 stars all I can give? Our holiday here has been perfect, in every single way! Location 10/10, Resort 10/10, Beach and Bay 10/10, Recreation & Facilities 10/10, Restaurant & Bar and menu options 10/10, our room 10/10+, but what sets this apart from every other holiday is the staff 10/10++. Amazing teamwork and staff, no matter which resort team or staff member you interface with, everyone has a warm welcome and a willingness to help. GM Hany Abdelmoneim manages an amazing customer first and customer focused team. It’s not really fair to pick any one member out but we do have to give extra special mention to Lavinia who took our initial enquiry call, and delivered over an above our expectations on arrival and throughout our stay, truly exceptional ‘Lady in Red’ from Guest Services, and Charlie the Management Trainee (currently Front of House here as part of his degree studies) with his total attention to detail, and while all team members are always beaming, we’ll never forget Mollys warm and welcoming smile at all times when dining. If you are into scuba diving I completed 4 dives in 4 different locations over 2 days with the dive school (separate but attached to resort, no travel required as dive boats are moored here) here in Baie Lazare, and experienced my first ever shark dive (white tip reef sharks) and it was amazing. I would not hesitate to come back and highly recommend this resort.

Stopped here on the final day, should have really got the day pass, but was only made aware of this later in the day. Well worth the money thou. Spent the day and evening at the pool bar/restaurant. Lovely view of the beach. Food was really nice, had the Creole menu. Very reasonably priced. If you're lucky you might spot the hedgehogs too at dinner time!!
