What a disappointment. Despite having a nice location on a promontory, along with a nice little beach, this hotel underwhelms. The hotel looks like it may have been very nice at one time, but a lack of continued investment and upkeep makes it appear unkempt. Landscaping is unkempt (especially when compared to the Hilton a few doors down. The pool is in fair to poor condition, and heavily chlorinated. Our room was less than stellar - the AC failed to cool well, the windows to the ocean were dirty, and there was what appeared to be a general lack of caring as to the condition of the room. The staff was friendly enough, though. Overall, I wish I would have spent my money elsewhere, as the experience we had was far different than the amount of money spent.

We enjoyed our stay , the hotel is in an amazing location but sadly in desperate need of maintenance and a significant refurbishment. The staff are lovely particularly Lucy in the restaurant and they are working hard to make everybody happy but the condition of the hotel is not up to standard although we had a very nice room which was very comfortable there was lots of hot water and for a beach holiday it was perfectly adequate.Food was repetitive but a 7 out of 10

The property is beautiful but it is a bit run in the maintenance department. For example, missing down spouts, old paint, moldy cushions, rotting wood. Empty bottles and there consumables by hotel residents were not picked up for a couple of days. Service was top notch!

Great hotel, owners time and money needed
Overall the hotel is great. The staff are mainly friendly and helpful and room service on point. Sunsets are divine. Watch outs - the waves and current can get big at high tide. The menu doesn't include service and tax slapping you with an extra 25% on top of any bill. If the owner spent time and money on the hotel and saying hi to guests rather than rocking up in her Bentley and terrifying the staff the atmosphere would be a lot nicer.

We had read mixed reviews before coming to this hotel, so expectations weren't particularly high. Once we arrived, first impression was great, location is beautiful, views are amazing, great little beach just outside the hotel, etc. However this is it... Service wasn't great, not even a simple smile or welcome when we arrived. All of the staff looked a bit miserable, food wasn't great either. The worst part was check out. We had booked a taxi with a gentleman at the reception for the next morning, he confirmed that it's fine, next morning when passing the reception desk I mantioned to the lady at the desk that we want to change the time to 15mins later. That's what she did, she called a taxi at 10.15am. In the end, we had two cars waiting for us, apparently this gentleman from the reception was going to take us probably with his personal car, and then we had a regular taxi (booked in the morning by lady receptionist) as well. Man receptionist almost started shouting at us why are we double booking taxis, and he was waiting for us to take us where we needed. He argued even for few minutes. I hope the hotel's management or owners will read this review, cause I don't think this is the right way to deal with your hotel's guests and I really don't think this was legal for him to do taxi services. Overall, our experience at the hotel would have been fairly good, the check out ruined this experience and after that I cannot recommend this hotel.

Lovely short stay
Amazing location! Lovely room, tho a few minor issues which were dealt with immediately. As if was our anniversary they went all out with a romantic dinner for two and decorated the bed and the room. No complaints at all!! Would definitely go back again!

Great view, everything else is terrible. Avoid.
Pick up from airport did not arrive. I was told they can provide manual transmission rental car for me after I arrive, but on arrival I was told they don't have manual transmission. The worst is that the room toilet and bath were not clean and the safe would not work. When I complained they gave a higher category room, but that too had same issues. Unclean toilets and safe that cannot be locked! I was repeatedly told someone will come to fix the in room safe but no one turned up throughout the stay. Restaurant cutlery and tablecloths all were stained and the pool had dirt at the bottom. No wifi in room, only in lounge and does not work most of the time. Overall very unclean and they do not care about your concerns. Spend your money elsewhere, you can access the beach though public access and do not need to stay at this hotel.

Sunset In Seychelles
We arrived to a warm and accommodating staff who helped us check in early, do our laundry, feed out of hours and take our bags in the pouring rain. Their building can use some repair, but the accommodations felt authentic to island life. We enjoyed the open-air concept, crashing waves and sunset views.

Excellent beach for sunbathing, snorkelling, and watching the sunset. The hotel is excellent for one on a tropical island but not of the same standard as the finest in more forgiving environments. Stick to the fish courses on the menu and you’ll have some really good, hearty meals. The staff are all very friendly and courteous.

Fatty owls
This hotel is the Seychelles version of fawlty towers. Firstly the good points. Amazing location with a wonderfully quiet and secluded beach. Adequately sized accommodation. Both bar and restaurant have a great view. Bad points. The entire complex is 10 years past it’s sell buy date. Everything thing is tired. For example phone in the room did not work as did the safe and bathroom extractor fan. Food was cold dull and overpriced and some ( but not all) of the staff unable to provide any thing but basic service. Sometimes responding to simple and polite requests by walking off. In the end we ate away and did not report any problems after the first day as it was easier than conflicts with the staff as it was obvious that they were unable or unwilling to do anything. Only when a manager was in on our second to last day did the staff seem engaged. If like us you can find amusement in the fawlty towers style of resort it’s worth the fair price.

Fantastic location if you want a quiet break
i Stayed for 10 nights in a junior suite. These are the suites that have the sea view. Rooms are good but don’t exspect a brand new room like the Hilton. The beach rooms are a new build the junior suites are still good with your own spot outside to sit with your partner and watch the sun go down. Air conditioning in the room is great only annoying bit was the double bed is two mattres instead of an actual double mattress. Hotel itself is clean, food is great, it’s a set menu on a night time but it is very good. I ran every day to the beach to dive which is about 10 mins run away. Taxis are a pain, more so on an evening. No money in it so they don’t turn up. For what I paid I was very happy. Bigest down side is there is no WiFi in the room. On an evening everyone sits in reception so the WiFi then drops out. I was there but still needed to contact work and if I knew I had no room WiFi I would not have booked. Overall I was happy. It’s an older hotel but it adds to its chachter. It is no way a dump or a bad hotel. Improvements to the hotel need to be made, this is mainly cosmetic such as the roof has a thach roof with a massive plastic bag on it, a lick of paint here and there on the outside. When your on the beach you will see it all for your self. The hotel feed the fish from the bar, so when you go snorkelling there are hundreds of fish to feed by hand right on your doorstep. The staff are more than happy to help where they can and will go the extra mile if they are able.

Experience at Sunset Beach Hotel - Seychelles
That place needs to be completely renovated. They need to close it down for a year at least. The breakfast is always late, they never bother ask if you need anything or want coffee once you showed up for breakfast. No internet in the room so all the guests go to the lobby to access the internet. The hotel lobby looks terrible and nasty. The AC in our room never really cools down. The place has a very great potential because of the its location but the owner, management and staff needs to learn how to run a hotel business.
