Overall, our stay was average. While the property had its highlights, there were several issues that impacted our experience. The room had a significant insect problem, and we left with numerous bites on our skin, which was uncomfortable and unexpected. One particularly disappointing incident involved housekeeping keeping a record of minor stains on our pillow and the duty manager, Christina, attempting to charge us €80 without any prior notice. I found this completely unreasonable, especially considering we had spent over €6,500 on our stay. Housekeeping’s role should be to properly clean linens using appropriate products—not to shift blame onto paying guests for normal wear. Thankfully, Christina eventually acknowledged this was excessive and, as a “gesture of goodwill,” agreed to drop the charge. That resolution is the only reason I haven’t given a lower rating. On a much more positive note, the staff in the restaurant and guest services were exceptional and truly elevated our experience: ⭐ Michael (Waiter) – Absolutely outstanding! His warm, attentive service made our stay extra special. ⭐ Stephanette – So warm, cheerful, and kind! She brought laughter and light to our breakfast each morning—we truly adored her. ⭐ David (Restaurant Manager) – Professional and attentive, he ensured every need was met and even organized a special birthday surprise. ⭐ Chefs Mohammed and his colleague – Both were incredibly thoughtful and checked in with us during breakfast to make sure everything was perfect. ⭐ Yulia (Guest Experience Manager) – A star! Always keeping us informed about events and making sure we were well taken care of. ⭐ Angelique, Thomas, Giliano, and Trevor, Nathalie – Each of them went above and beyond in delivering top-tier customer service throughout our stay. While the natural beauty of Seychelles is undeniable, I had a deeply troubling experience at immigration that I feel obligated to share—especially for fellow Black travelers. There seems to be a noticeable bias against Black people, particularly Black Nigerians, when entering the country. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with suspicion, asked invasive and unnecessary questions, and made to feel unwelcome. In contrast, non-Black travelers were waved through immigration without any questioning—not even basic checks. The difference in treatment was blatant and disturbing. What’s even more frustrating is the irony: Seychelles is a majority-Black nation, yet some of its immigration officers appear to look down on other Black people, especially those from Africa. And while they target us with unnecessary scrutiny, it is often non-Black visitors who exploit the country, using it as a hub for drugs and contraband. These are the individuals who are rarely questioned or challenged. There are countless similar stories on TikTok and other platforms, which confirms that this isn’t an isolated case. It’s incredibly disappointing and embarrassing that this kind of racial profiling happens at all—let alone in a country that should understand the impact of discrimination. I do not recommend visiting Seychelles if you are Black, particularly from Africa. I will not be returning.
