Beautiful resort, stayed in a Panorama Villa with pool which had a wonderful view. The bed was the best we ever slept in and the room was very comfortable and clean in general. Restaurants were great as well, and staff in restaurants and bars were very kind and helpful. What could and should improve is the communication and the correct follow-up of arrangements made. For certain services such as booking experiences, we had to follow up ourselves multiple times before receiving information. The check-in could also be a bit smoother, as we had to wait for the luggage to arrive in our room for 30 minutes, and we had to call reception for this ourselves. Also we booked at a restaurant which was confirmed by our butler, and in the end there was no reservation under our name in the system and we could not eat there. For the check-out, a buggy was arranged for 5:45am, which we confirmed 2 times, but the buggy did not arrive and we had to call reception 3 times before it finally arrived at 06:05. Also the island hopping experience that we booked did not live up to the expectations and was not worth the price. It was supposed to be a snorkeling trip, but basic stuff such as flippers and soap to clean the masks were not on board, leading to foggy masks the whole time.
Dear Jorn,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Raffles Seychelles. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful views from your Panorama Villa and found our accommodations comfortable and clean. It is also heartening to know that our restaurant staff provided you with kind and helpful service.
However, I regret that you encountered challenges regarding communication and follow-ups for your arrangements. We understand the importance of timely information and efficient service, and I will ensure that your feedback is noted for improvement. Furthermore, I apologize for the delays you experienced with both your luggage during check-in and the buggy service at check-out. Such experiences do not reflect our usual standards, and your insights will be valuable as we assess our procedures.
Regarding the island hopping experience, I appreciate your feedback on the equipment provided. We strive to offer memorable excursions, and your comments will be reviewed to enhance our offerings.
Thank you once again for your valuable feedback. We hope to welcome you back in the future.

Overall very nice experience but some frustration with what appeared to be a lack of organization and poor follow up. For example, once we got to our room I had to call about 30 minutes later because our luggage had yet to be delivered. Staff we worked with seemed to be new and still learning, botched obtaining credit card deposit for incidentals so we had to come back next day. I don’t understand the butler concept. He was either slow to respond or non responsive until much later. When he was not on site there was no advance communication or handoff. He did successfully book our transfer upon departure. Overall good experience just some hiccups that you’d not expect for the price.
Dear Mr. Z.,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay at Raffles Seychelles.

We acknowledge your concerns regarding the luggage delivery and the organization related to the butler service. Our goal is to provide seamless service, and it is clear that we fell short in these areas during your stay.

The resort manager went above and beyond our wildest dreams when we spoke to him. We got to experience the new menus on the resort which we couldn’t fault. The portion sizes were far too much.
The buggy staff were all excellent
We also went on a catamaran which was fantastic and had messages
Dear Mr. E.,
Thank you for sharing your delightful feedback regarding your experience at Raffles Seychelles. We are thrilled to learn that our team, particularly Gerrard and buggy team, contributed positively to your stay. We appreciate your comments about the new menus and will take your note on portion sizes into consideration for future offerings. It is wonderful to hear you enjoyed the catamaran and spa services. We hope to welcome you back soon.

Villa was really good and the amenities as well. Butler service was also very good. The Raffles does not deliver a 5 star luxury resort service level. The service at all restaurants and pool are really bad - 2 stars level. Besides the bad service, the price you pay for the food doesn’t meet the quality delivered. Nothing special. Definitely will not come back.
Dear Mr. P.,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay at Raffles Seychelles. We appreciate your kind words about the villa, amenities, and the butler service. However, we regret that your experience with our dining services did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide a quality culinary experience and we take your comments seriously. It is disappointing to hear that we fell short in delivering a five-star service level during your visit. Your input is invaluable for us as we continuously seek to improve our offerings.
We hope you may reconsider and visit us again in the future.
Sincerely,

Checking in was slow.
Villa and dip pool superb.
Booking restaurants via front desk painful.The attitude was negative rather than finding solutions to requested restaurant bookings.
Restaurants were excellent both from a food and service perspective.
Pools and grounds were beautiful,well maintained and supported by helpful staff.
Position of hotel and expectations of hotel were more than met.

Hotel is a 10/10. Loved everything room the villa, buggy service, room cleaner, spa, pool area with service and food. Everything was above and beyond.
I did review extensively on Tripadvisor and could not rate highly enough. Only criticism was the main restaurant service needs attention but certainly did not spoil the experience.
We want to return ASAP

We recently spent 13 nights at Raffles Praslin and really enjoyed our stay.
We arrived by helicopter that was smoothly arranged by the Raffles team (thank you Camille!)
Our villa was beautiful, spacious and had some well appointed details that the impeccable housekeeping team looked after.
The beach is one of the most perfect on Praslin - safe to swim in and very picturesque. The beach team were a highlight of the trip - setting us up with beds wherever we wanted and bringing a constant supply of cold water to keep us refreshed.
Another highlight was the buggy team who were always prompt, professional and friendly moving us around the resort.
There were a couple of negatives. When we booked it said the resort was going through refurbishment but this was supposed to have been completed by the time of our stay. This wasn’t a problem for the most part except it meant that only 3 restaurants were open for dinner. We were on a half board package and the limited menus became repetitive after time and we ended up spending a lot of money on food supplements to have some variety in our dining options. My final comment on the F&B set up would be to consider an adults only dining area in part of one or some of the restaurants. We experienced and also saw others trying to celebrate birthdays / anniversaries against a backdrop of children playing with cars on the floor, iPads blaring entertainment etc. which probably wasn’t the vibe they or us were looking for.
The resort also needs to increase its fogging frequency - we have stayed on Praslin many times and have never had so many insect bites before. I understand that part of the hotels attraction is its natural setting, but despite using repellant we both had more than 100 bites during our stay.
Also, the main swimming pool was undergoing maintenance whilst we were there. This was ‘compensated’ for with a free taco and drink at lunchtime, but had we known that it was happening we probably wouldn’t have stayed on those dates.
Our final niggle was the comms system - the telephone in our villa didn’t work some days and three times we had to get tech support out to fix it. Also had no WiFi one day but tech support came out and replaced some hardware promptly. Annoyingly though, there was never WiFi signal outside of the bedroom and couldn’t get reception on the villa exterior deck / pool/ lounge area which meant having to stay inside to do messages / emails etc.
It’s a shame we didn’t get to see the resort at its full potential, but hopefully it will be lovely once all the problems are ironed out.
Dear Ms. D.,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Raffles Seychelles. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of our resort, the attentive service from our beach and buggy teams, and the spaciousness of your villa. Your positive remarks about the helicopter transfer and housekeeping are also greatly appreciated.
We sincerely regret that your experience was marred by the ongoing refurbishment and the limited dining options available to you during your stay. We understand how important variety is in dining, and we appreciate your feedback regarding the atmosphere in our restaurants. Your suggestion for an adults-only dining area has been noted, as we strive to create enjoyable experiences for all our guests.
Additionally, we apologize for the inconvenience caused by the maintenance of our main swimming pool and the issues with the communication systems in your villa. We appreciate your understanding as we work to enhance the guest experience.
We hope to welcome you back in the future when our facilities are fully operational.

Our stay at Raffles Seychelles was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, it felt as though the resort had been seamlessly woven into the natural landscape rather than simply built upon it. The attention to nature integration throughout the property is remarkable; every building, path, and space seems carefully placed to preserve and complement the stunning surroundings.
The Wedding: We celebrated our wedding during our stay, and it was flawless. The wedding organizer managed every detail with incredible precision, handling everything from the smallest touches to the overall flow of the event. We didn't have to worry about a thing.
The Butler Service: Our butler was outstanding - attentive, proactive, and genuinely eager to help. Any inquiries we had were resolved promptly, and they went above and beyond to ensure our stay exceeded expectations.
Staff Excellence: Every member of staff we encountered was kind, warm, and ready to make our visit special. There's a noticeable culture of going the extra mile that runs through the entire team.
Raffles Seychelles isn't just a luxury destination, it's a place where comfort, natural beauty, and impeccable service come together effortlessly. We'd return in a heartbeat.
Dear Luka,
Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful experience at Raffles Seychelles. We are delighted to learn that you found our resort beautifully integrated into the natural landscape and that our staff made your stay exceptional.
It is heartening to know that your wedding celebration was flawless and that our wedding organizer was able to manage every detail to your satisfaction. We take great pride in our butler service, and your acknowledgment of their attentiveness and proactivity is truly appreciated. Our team strives to provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and it is gratifying to hear that this commitment resonated with you.
We are grateful for your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable stay.

We chose raffles to celebrate our 20 year anniversary (and my birthday). We chose the resort because of the variety of dining and relaxation options available at the resort. Unfortunately the resort was still under construction, with the pool area, and 3 of the restaurants unavailable during our stay. The reception area was also under construction. Given the extent of the construction, Raffles should have closed the resort to complete these projects, as guests, including us, were not able to fully enjoy the resort. For a beach resort, the pool, bar and beach side restaurants are the key components and these were out of commission.
Our room was exceptional, and thankfully we could swim in our plunge pool. The staff did their very best to make our stay memorable, and Ashley Hagins stands out for surprising and delighting us, and making our anniversary very very special. The gardens at the resort are world class, and our spa experience was excellent, just a shame we couldn’t fully enjoy the Raffles experience.
Dear Mr. O.,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. We are delighted to hear that you found your room exceptional and that our staff, particularly Ashley Hagins, contributed positively to your anniversary celebration. Your kind words about our gardens and spa service are greatly appreciated.
However, we sincerely apologize for the inconveniences caused by the ongoing construction during your visit. We understand that the availability of key facilities such as the pool and restaurants is vital for a memorable experience at our resort. While we strive to enhance our offerings, we recognize that this may have impacted your enjoyment.
We appreciate your insights regarding the timing of our renovations and will certainly take them into consideration as we move forward. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback. We hope to welcome you back in the future for a more complete Raffles experience.
