Beautiful property, we had a very relaxing stay. Loved the yoga on the hill, the beautiful spa and the setting. The buffet was different every day and of very high quality. Fresh juice and proseco for breakfast was a nice touch! Would return there again. Thank you for making our stay so nice :)

Stayed in Kempinski Seychelles Resort during our visit to Seychelles. The resort is spread over a big area. We were in the hill view room which faced the lagoon. The view of the lagoon and mountains was soothing. The room was spacious with a separate lounge area where we could relax on the sofa and watch the television or just see the lagoon. The wardrobe was spacious. The room had everything from basic necessities like kettle, coffee maker, water to iron and ironing board, weighing machine, good amount of hangers, shoe horn etc. The breakfast was included in the rate and each morning was a different buffet spread. We could order from a breakfast menu too. The choice of fresh juices you could request to be made was vast as per your choice. The beach and sea activities were good. The tortoises were an additional attraction. If you would inform in advance they arrange for you to feed them. The staff is very courteous and friendly. Always ready to assist.

We only came for an afternoon to have a late lunch after our beach wedding.
It's not cheap, but also not outrageously expensive.
The staff were very helpful. The grounds stunning and , well , there are no bad beaches in Seychelles.
But i can't comment on any of the accommodation.

Visiting kempinski is altogether a different experience.. The aura of this place is mind blowing. Private beach is awesome. You can just relax there and enjoy your drink and music. You can also do water sports.

The couch overlooking the ocean was the best. Getting to lie around and have local creole fish chowders brought to where I was at was also amazing. The spa is great and the gym has plenty of weights. The pools are nice. This is mostly a couples retreat location however I found it also a nice place to rest and recuperate.

Very nice experience for me and my wife.
The service was brilliant. They were at all time nice, kind and even in stressful situation cool.
Which is stuck in my mind of the trip was their warm and friendly welcome at any place. You will not miss a smile on your face and saying "hello" to everybody.

The waiters at the bar and in the restaurant will help you in any way. Best is to try to ask the waiters to help you to get the best food. They have a very good taste.

Best drink you have to order on this island:
Takkamakka Coco - (my optioning best with ice)
got a little addicted to it.

Spa Kempinsky is an absolute must if you are there. The experience of quality is worth the price you ll pay for.

Can just recommend Kempinski resort on Seychelles. Will hopefully visit this place asap again.

We spent our honeymoon here and everything was superb. The staff was really nice and helpful and the service was impeccable. We particularly enjoyed the little treats on the beach, such as fruit, cookies and refreshments. Lots of activities provided by the hotel, so you'll always find something to do if you don't want to leave the resort (although that would be a pity, given the superb beaches on the island, not to mention those on La Digue and Praslin, which are some of the best in the world).
The beach is good, but not fantastic (the left extremity of the beach has got finer sand, but the central part in front of the pool is not something to die for - but still good, don't get me wrong - it's just that there are better beaches not far from the hotel).
The hotel grounds are vast, the scenery is superb, there's a beautiful lake, tennis courts, spa, and also a helipad if you don't fancy boat or car rides, and you're filthy rich. :)
The rooms are large and clean (housekeeping is done twice a day) but perhaps not as extravagant as you might expect in a 5-star hotel, but honestly, that wasn't a problem for us.
The food was good (occasionally delicious) and there was a lot of diversity, but, since every evening there's a different theme, you might get a little bit peckish if you don't fancy a certain cuisine.
A longer stay, especially during the high season, will definitely set you back a good few thousands, but Seychelles is really, really expensive, so compared to other resorts, it's not preposterously expensive.
All in all, we had a wonderful stay here (again, big thanks to the lovely staff) and we're actually thinking of coming back some day.

Midway thru our honeymoon here at Kempinski. Fabulous room, comfiest bed ever, housekeeping staff very attentive, visiting several times a day. Wonderfully friendly staff everywhere, without exception. Lovely touches like complimentary drinking water, towels & an afternoon fruit kebab by the beach. Restaurant buffets have great selection to suit all tastes. Beautiful, peaceful location, perfect for a really relaxing holiday and a priceless view from the beach. Idylic.

Went there only for dinner at the fine dining restaurant L'Indochine. Food and service was 5 star, but very difficult to have a reservation even though the restaurant was not full. We had to wait on site until they were sure no more in-house customers would come. We completely understand the situation, so we recommend to book a few days ahead if you want to go for dinner.

Very good stay at kempinski hotel. The rooms are clean and big. The pool is very good and staff is always smiling and very nice. The only thing I don't like is the price of the buffet at night which is quite expensive compared to others restaurants on the island (980 R which is equal to 63€).

Visited in December 2017. Mixed feelings about our stay there. Booked a sea view room but unfortunately got a Tree-view room. A huge tree in the lawn was all we could see from our balcony..blocked the sea-view. We requested for a change of room but were told that the resort was fully booked.

In 3 days we never found a person on the car hire desk. Not even once.

Breakfast was sumptuous..with great variety. Room was well equipped with more than you can ask for.

Location of the resort is far from the city and from the famous beau-vallon beach. Takes at least an hour's drive.

Breakfast and espresso/cappuccino were good, though after some days you realise that there are only a couple of highlights. The same can be said about buffet dinner, there are different themes but after 5 nights starts to repeat itself and no real highlights.
We rented car from hotel (a bit fishy La Gaulette car hire) for 2 days and realized that we liked the Kempinski area the most - convenient beach chairs, umbrellas and complimentary water, snorkeling and kayaking gear available.
Frequent helicopter landings/takeoffs are a bit disturbing for guests.
We also made the small hike to the top of the rock, which offered nice views.
We liked that we got into our room before official check in time, but late check out was unfortunately not possible.
Overall a nice experience, but pricey and lacking the wow-factor.
Staff was mostly very friendly and helpful.

Best honeymoon destination in the world!
They have made it over a vast expanse in a corner of Mahe. So you get lots of exclusivity. Seychelles is not at all crowded (bare minimum number of people should be expected everywhere though). You just don't feel like exploring outside. The rock formations are amazing!!!

Nice upscale hotel complex on Southwest of Mahe. Rooms are well equipped and reception staff really welcomed. Long pool that can be used for swimming, nice 24 hours fitness and a beautiful beach. Nevertheless you need to be careful entering these waters to avoid painful encounters laying hidden on the seabed. Read the instructions first and ask the beach towels boys for tips. There is obvious room for improvement in restaurant services and food quality.

This place is paradise,... from the views, to the meals and the staff (there was a sushi buffet!) . I really like the diversity in their staff, like we were met by a Kenyan and I though that was pretty cool,.. makes you feel like you're home away from home. The rooms were gorgeous, plus the beach, such a dream. The beach beds were right next to the blue, crystal clear waters. No sea weed, no beach boys. Bring sunscreen and bug spray as this is the tropics. They have however done a tremendous job keeping mosquitoes at bay which was much appreciated. Another pointer, choose to pay your bills as you go as those numbers can pile up on you! Seychelles imports 90% of everything, so prices are quite steep. We thought having lunch at a restaurant away from the hotel would save us some cash but ended up spending $50 on cab fare + $70 on lunch and a beer, should have ordered the fish and chips at the beachside from the hotel! Which we did later and was delicious, and came in these cool buckets,.. anyway. Take me back!

Beautiful resort on great location. Truly luxurious. Perfectly maintained garden and very professional staff. If it is in your price range definitely a considerable choice.

We did spend 2 weeks in this beautiful Hotel. The Service was exceptionally good. The room was very convenient and spacey. The food was very tasty and the waiters in the restaurant have been very friendly and did care for us guests, perfectly. However, the best is the perfectly attended and large beach with it's shadowy canopy. as a summary: two weeks in paradise!

Nice hotel, excellent facilities. They made considerable efforts to make vegetarian food for us but not too tasty ... Common problem for many 5* hotels?

Nice secluded beach but too steep ... Therefore rather hard to walk on that. Comparison to secluded Goa beaches is inevitable, where one can walk for kilometres at a stretch on the beach. South facing beach which is within 'C' shape land ... hence full fury of sea can not be experienced.

Went there 3 days as I got married . This place is paradise and the hotel is beautiful . Spacious quiet and clean rooms with a view on the beach .Variety of restaurants for any tipe of taste. Beach is probably one of the best of Mahé . I didn’t give 5 star as the hotel management has room for improvement - called room service 3 times and waited 1 hour and half to get two bottles of water and glasses - In general a great place to stay !

Most amazing place ever! Very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful views, comfortable rooms, all in one package....

Awesome resort although more for adults as their beach is with plenty of corals etc. We got married here, the ceremony and everything was arranged with the local authorities and was pretty uncomplicated...especially compared to other places for couples with mixed nationalities.
Stayed in one of the hotels suites with a nice view on their landscaped gardens. The location also is amazing for joggers, plenty of landscape and/or beach to discover. Most however we enjoyed the Seychelles for Photography.

Big territory, spacious rooms, lengthy beach, great food, nice overall ambience and friendly service.

A little disappointing but overall a good holiday. We found our stay at the Kempinski, A little disappointing but overall a good holiday. The thing I found frustrating the most is the lack of fans in the restaurants and common areas of the hotel. it was almost suffocating without the fans. The hotel has some pretty decent food but it would have been nicer to get a more extensive menu since its not very practical to leave the hotel in search of food (no restaurants nearby and lack of transport)

Stayed in the resort for my honeymoon. Very nice location and one of the less crowded resort. I booked the garden view room and the ocean is just about few meters from the room. Couldn't have asked for a better view. Paid about $ USD 500/night. Food is way expensive and the taste is not up to the mark. Besides that, this is for sure one of the nice resort to stay!

A nice property with good staff. Food options for vegetarians are limited. The hotel beach is very good to laze and relax . One of the best beaches In Mahe. Comfortable rooms with lovely four poster beds and a boozy welcome with sparkling wine and tropical fruits

“It's best for honeymooners and one of the amazing resort with best facilities”

Beach facilities, great hospitality, friendly staff, awesome rooms with great view n balcony, facilities in the room and supportive housekeeping, breakfast is superb and has varieties

Buffet restaurant is bit expensive

Perfect location and hotel, all staff are excellent - faultless. Best breakfast.

The staff are excellent always happy and helpful can't find a fault with the hotel paradise! Wonderful holiday

Fabulous hotel with exquisite views. The resort has many facilities to satisfy the whole family's needs. Endless pool for splashing any time of day, kiddies centre with great kid activities, a few restaurants and bars for different food and drink experiences, live music most nights. It also manages to provide intimate experience for those wishing for private moments. All in all, I recommend this hotel for a great stay in the Seychelles.

Nice resort, sweet staff, great facilities, beautiful bay, snorkling ok, good food and lovely rooms.

Luxury and High class are the main drivers here. We went just to have dinner at the Hindocine (where we ate really well!). The garden is huge and beautiful, as well as the little bungalows, even though most of them have no sea view.

Was expecting better! Or maybe the Indochine restaurant but l don't know since they have refused because l was wearing shorts and not a pen!! Hello..... are we on a island or at New York or Geneva????? Wake ups guys....

It is an amazing restaurant set in the luxurious Kempinski resort, and it focuses on oriental food. There is no direct sea view (Even though it's very close to the shore), but it has a nice view on the beautiful garden. The staff is surprisingly kind, professional and welcoming. The food is very, very good (I strongly suggest the scallop starter). The wines are ok. The prices are high, I spent about 130€ for me and my girlfriend taking a starter, a sushi set ("Tokyo") shared between us, and two glasses of wine, but it's a fair price for such an elegant place and such a tasty food.

This is a great hotel for couples and families looking to be treated and spoilt in a lavish manner. The staff are friendly and engaged in conversation with us and our kids especially at the restaurant. I admired a few of the staff who did that. Restaurant meals were based on a theme which means there was variety in the meals.
The kids club was a great place to keep the kids engaged and entertained. I would like to point out two ladies who were willing to help us with our requests and additional info - Fiona and Shana; they were very approachable, understanding and our kids really enjoyed being with them.
The hotel is a bit of a drive (+-20min) from the airport but it is a good way to get to see the island. The activities provided at the resort is a good way to keep those visitors (who would like to do a bit more than just relaxing) engaged. They are friendly and engage in conversation easily.
The rooms are spacious and well designed. We had the family suite which is good when having older kids. The rooms have access to the beach, which is beautiful colours of greenery (grass and trees) and white beach sand.
As a typical 5-star hotel, it has all amenities one would require. You would have to stay there for a minimum of a week to make use of and enjoy the amenities offered!

Awesome place. Great view. Great food. Courteous staff.

Amazing staff,food,view from room, room is woow... just the prices??? Horrible!! Almost £10 for chips?!£8 beer ??? Heh is more than French Polynesia which is much more exclusive! But i cant give less than 5 is amazing hotel

Beautiful beach. Room was small but nice but not suitable for babies that don't walk but are crawling. Main restaurant/breakfast average.

We spent a wonderful time here! Everybody was very helpful and nice! I would recommend this hotel and wish to come back there.

If anyone is looking for a great deal on hotels you can check it out on HoteIRaven. com Booked a hotel on there and they had the cheapest rates around...

This resort is yet another amazing thing about Seychelles. Everyone were very friendly. This is kind of an isolated location, so it's nice. Not too crowded. It is close to a place called fish cave where you can do diving and snorkeling. We did snorkeling and was assisted by Shehan and his men. He was really helpful. This was our first snorkeling experience. Please note myself And my wife are beginners when it comes to swimming. Still they helped us out and it was a great experience. This is a great place to stay. We also got an upgrade. Our room was a big ovean view suite!the breakfast buffet was one of the best I've ever tried! If you are going to stay here it's better to half-board here andjust stay in the resort

Edwina the lady in red was very helpful and friendly. Relaxing atmosphere enjoyed sipping the cocktails under the sun .

Beautiful resort with fantastic breakfast. Just a bit isolated and the ocean is full of coral, which makes swimming difficult but it's great for snorkeling.

Beautiful place

Beach not amazing but good for pictures

For swimming very poor

Chef saman very top

Windsond restaurant excellent

Good breakfast with lot of variety

A amazing resort, great food and breathtaking views! A must book!

Resort is great , weather is coastal, hookah lounge's great. Everything here was perfect

Can't wait to return back

The hotel has very good premises, it keeps you "busy" no matter how's the weather like. The spa was a great idea for a rainy day. The restaurants are also pretty good, especially L'Indochine.

I booked a sea view room, and the one where we were placed after the check-in had a very partial view of the sea. It was far from it and the view was also covered by lots of trees. It's also a nice view, but it shouldn't be sold as a sea view room. However, after we complained about this with the lady in red in the from desk, she quickly managed to reallocate us to a bigger room with a much better view of the sea. The prompt resolution surprised us very positively.

If I had to point out things that could be improved, I would recommend washing the cushions that decorate the beds more often, some of them had a dusty smell and I was glad that the maids didn't put them back on our bed after the room service. Also, a sauna on the spa would be very useful, most of the people enjoy spending a few minutes on it before the massage.

Great location, nice beach

Resort could be awesome. Great location. But the sea is not the best. A lot of seaweed which is very annoying. The resort is in the middle of nowhere and you need a (very expensive) car to go anywhere. A lot of people who work there are very rude and unfriendly. Having said that there were some nice, friendly workers. But most are like spoilt girls who don't know anything about professionality, competence, smiles (a lot of bored faces) no attention to details (they're working at a 5 star resort but it's like they're working at McDonald's). I'd... change a lot of things to be honest. 3 stars nothing else. I wouldn't go back. If I ever decided to go back to Seychelles I'd definitely change location and hotel. Nothing worse that local people who work there because of "zone quotas" and give you a bad look as if you owe them money. Yuck. To The general managers: tell them to smile and remind them they're alive. Kinda...

Awesome place and fantastic service

Not the best 5 star resort I've stayed at. Rooms are too narrow. House keeping does a very poor job nor are they friendly at all - upon arrival I took off my shoes and walked barefoot and the tiles were full of sea sand. Breakfast room/dinner buffet restaurant is tooooo small, congested & chaotic. Breakfast is not great. Beach is not kept clean, the sand is covered in seaweeds

Upscale resort with wonderful staff , nice pool and water activities , good selection in buffet for breakfast/ dinner , great seafood bbq at the beach resturant . Mr Gautam at resturant was very kind . Thank you to all kempinski team for your hospitality .

The perfect location for a nice holiday, but if you need to do shopping, water sports, airport, jetty or any other activities it's all in the north of Mahe Island, this hotel is located in the south and is about 17 kms from the activity. Google maps not able to guide to the gates of hotel, in spite of knowing the location, very strange.
Be careful with the lights in the passage outside rooms you may bump your head into!

This was my first experience in a hotel resort of this kind. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty! We were upgraded to a beach view on arrival. Room was absolutely beautiful, well presented, clean and had everything you could possibly need. Room was cleaned and tidied every day and during the evening when out for dinner, the bed was 'turned down' and water placed next to it. Fridge was kept filled with water every day. Food was amazing, again served to a very high standard by the most pleasant, and polite staff. Nothing was too much trouble for anyone. My special thanks go to Javier Roldan - Assistant Food and Beverage Manager, who took time to come and talk to us most days/evenings. Again, extremely polite and ensuring we had everything we needed and that we were being taken care of. On our last evening after dinner, we went back to our room (509) and there was a knock at the door. It was room service with a bottle of champagne and nibbles, courtesy of Javier accompanied by a hand written note from him. We were thrilled at such a lovely gesture and thank you Javier again for everything. As promised a mention for Vikash (room service) who brought the champagne, opened and poured it before wishing us a good evening and trip home. All in all, one of the best holidays I have had and one that we will definitely be returning to in the future. With thanks to all at the Kempinski - Julie Matkin and Rob Tudor.

Amazing resort! Loved it. Bit out of the way, but you in effect get our own private beach. Rooms are more like suites. So much space. Huge breakfast spread.

Very nice had lovely experience at the property.

A definite 5* recommendation. Food is just okay but the breakfast buffet is overwhelming.
Beach is not as good but nice for a hiking start point.
The SPA gets a 5

On the whole, the hotel is very good. Good food, perfect service, many organised free activities such as pool aerobics.
The cons are:
1. The sea near the hotel is full of sea plants which don't give an opportunity to swim comfortly, the only way to explore the underwater life is to swim on high tide.
2. Despite everything they tell on the website, the hotel has NO NORMAL free internet access. For free you can only get a dialup-style speed: 54 Kbit/s. The paid internet nas no big advantage: 512 kbit/s for 100SCR/hour. BE AWARE.
