Raffles Seychelles 5 stars

Short but unbelievably good

I copy what I send you on WhatsApp, with no answer from you. Hello We ordered lunch at 12 to the beach and after 1 hour we decided to go to the room to give the baby some food we brought. Now it is 13:15 and we still haven’t received our food. This is definitely not child friendly. Also, we timed our baby’s naps yesterday to have dinner at 6pm. And suddenly the restaurant opens at 19, so we didn’t enjoy the amazing food as we wanted to, because he was too tired. That’s a shame. Next time, it would be great if you align when you communicate the opening times for the restaurant - especially when traveling with a baby. This is also the first hotel, where we have to pay for a nine month old baby, who only requires very little chicken and mashed potatoes. We haven’t tried that before. Room is nice, and we enjoy the late check out, but we don’t enjoy it when it is not baby friendly… Another message I send with no answer: And another thing - we truly enjoyed our stay, and the staff was really friendly. From the receptionist to the people driving the buggies. But when we were eating dinner and breakfast, some of the personnel, especially two guys, wanted to cuddle and lift our baby. We are used to that here in Seychelles, when people are cuddling with our baby and picking him up, and we really enjoy it. But at Raffles, it seemed a bit weird, as they were doing it while we ate, and it just interrupted us when trying to enjoy the food, and also it was difficult for him to focus on eating. Someone tried to lift him up at breakfast, and we had to tell him to stop, because we were in the middle of feeding him. We just wanted to give you this feedback, maybe you can use it. We are now staying at Constance on Mahé, and here the food for 0-6 year olds are free.

I visited with my husband for our honeymoon and it was a lovely experience, the team there went above and beyond to make sure we had a special welcome! Everyone at the resort was very friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed the breakfast and the villa was absolutely beautiful.

We had an overall fantastic stay at Raffles Seychelles and truly enjoyed the property, the setting, and the service. A special thank you to Pat, who went above and beyond for us. He helped arrange a boat trip and transport seamlessly and regularly checked in to ensure everything was perfectly taken care of. That level of attentiveness made a real difference. Also worth mentioning are the buggy drivers, always in a great mood, friendly, and adding a fun, relaxed touch to getting around the resort. That said, there are a few areas where the experience could be improved, especially considering the level of the property. The breakfast quality could be elevated, and dining at Losean was somewhat disappointing. The food did not quite meet expectations in terms of quality, portion size, and presentation — for example, the prawn & asparagus salad felt underwhelming (just three prawns and two asparagus pieces presented quite sparsely). There also seemed to be inconsistency around the dress code. We were informed that long trousers and closed shoes were expected, and dressed accordingly, yet many guests were dining in flip flops and swim shorts. Not an issue for us personally, but clearer or more consistent enforcement would help set expectations. Dinner at Sabor, on the other hand, was excellent and definitely a highlight. Service overall was friendly and well-intentioned, though at times it felt slightly over-polished — for example, multiple apologies for small things like bringing water when it was requested, or frequent reassurances about our stay. While appreciated, a more natural and relaxed approach would make interactions feel even more genuine. That being said, all staff were warm and welcoming throughout — and with just a slightly more effortless delivery, the experience would feel even more elevated. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would absolutely consider returning.

We had an amazing stay at Raffles Seychelles. From the moment we arrived, the experience was exceptional. The welcome from the security team, front office, and service team was very warm, friendly, and professional. The food and all our dining experiences were fantastic, with great quality and presentation. A special thank you to Otman, Chef Franck, the entire culinary team, as well as the front office and service and Housekeeping teams for their outstanding hospitality and attention to detail Everything made our stay truly memorable. Thank you to the entire team for such wonderful hospitality. We had a great time and we will definitely be back!
