Reviews for Kempinski Seychelles Resort

Review 1：Location, food, facility

Review 2：Staff attitude and helpfulness was excellent. They have shown me can't do attitude and would like to thank for their never ending effort

Review 3：Paradise - nature, the way it is carefully taken care of, the medows, clear beach, flowers, ocean waters, corals and sea waters, wind songs and a lot of bird songs. Each and every member of the Kempinski staff!

Review 4：everything overpriced to ridiculous level eg. washing (laundry) T-shirt 20 usd, hamburger over 30 usd (and you are min 10km away from what we alternatively could call restaurant). Advertised facilities in bad condition (kids room, there are bicycles but no air in wheels). You pay 100 usd for (Japanese) small (0.3 l) bottle of sake - very regular one, no extravagance - and they serve it in whisky glass on the rocks (sic!). ask for buggy - little chance it will come, ask for anything - please come every hour and repeat them, maybe it will work. For 6 days we couldn't see a manager. And that's the key for this riddle. So if you already bought it close your eyes and walk straight to the beach. And do not turn back

Review 5：Beach and swimming pool

Review 6：Distances within the hotel ressort are very long (walk way back to the room on the beach not possible on a path way) Sport facilities are very poor for such a ressort (diving, kajaking, no water ski)

Review 7：Friendlyness of the staff, Location in general

Review 8：Should upgrade its facilities, housekeeping protocols, upkeep and international menu options - falls short of what you'd expect of the Kempinski brand.

Review 9：Great locale and overall ambience. Staff is generally quite friendly. Good value. Fine breakfast.

Review 10：Horrible service. The location is kind of far away from all the beach activities and restraunts. The staff does not want to work, they take forever to get you anything. The beach literally has no staff working, they don't serve you towels or assist with anything. Everyone was so rude and when they make a mistake, they don't apologize. It did not feel like a five star hotel. Very disappointed with my stay at kempimski.

Review 11：Wish there were more play ground equipment for children and a place for adults to lounge in kids club when the children were at the pool. I wish that the half board included a bottle of water.

Review 12：Loved the free kayaks and snorkeling gear. Also loved the turn down service. We loved the child size robes and slippers and all the things you had for children from activities at kids club, the tortoise feeding and even the swing that was on the tree.

Review 13：Food wasn't great and expensive Staff worked more on their initiative rather than being trained location peaceful and beautiful, very relaxing

Review 14：upgrade to beach room

Review 15：service somehow slow. commodities in the room like soap, shampoo were not replaced on daily basis. towels too old and over used. didn't see beaches guards. very few staff on the beach. food and drinks very expensive

Review 16：staff friendly

Review 17：The food is expensive but more than the cost, it was not upto the quality of a 5 star. The Asian restaurant need to have more options.

Review 18：The location was very nice straight on the beach; staff very helpful and smiling. Took care of all our needs including baby food for our 1 year daughter. Room with the sea view very good. Break fast hearty.

Review 19：It was difficult to get out of the property, which is very big, on one hand, you can really enjoy the facilities and relax, on the other hand, it is hard to connect with the rest of the world and one can feel a bit secluded

Review 20：Very nice staff and excellent service, I had a computer issue that was difficult to solve and the IT manager spent 30 minutes with me and managed to solve it, that was really appreciated. Also when we arrived, our room had a smell of humidity, this was promptly solved with an upgrade in a far bigger suite with no humidity odor any longer. Breakfast was very good and the evening restaurant was excellent, food and wine. All in all excellence at an affordable price

Review 21：- attentiveness of the staff to ensure our wedding and honeymoon was perfect. - evening and night bedroom service which I have never experienced before despite in staying in numerous 4 and 5* hotels and resorts

Review 22：Food is totally overpriced, unbelievable!!! Everything else was asexpected for a Kempinski but the prices for Dining were out of control.I would recommend that you do not stay here until they have a seriouslook at what they are charging for a pretty average evening buffet.

Review 23：Nice facilities.

Review 24：My wife and I stayed here for our 5th wedding anniversary and had a fabulous time. The resort is excellent and the staff are very friendly. We were given a surprise with a personalised card, sparkling wine and a cake - all of which was very well received. The scuba diving and tortoise feeding completed the experience for us. Some of the home-made jams available with breakfast were just splendid, notwithstanding the overall high quality of the food. Highly recommended. A big thanks to the staff for making our anniversary a special one.

Review 25：Reception service was bad. Waited 45min for bags after check-in only to receive someone else's bags. A very important letter we were waiting for was delivered at the reception which they could not locate and made our trip very stressful.

Review 26：Room comfort and cleaniness

Review 27：We were asked to stay in two different rooms in our two nights stay and said will upgrade us to a hill view suite on the second night, and we agreed. We were told to bring our luggage to the reception in the morning of the second faux so we can be moved to our new room straight away, we woke up at 7am on the second day, packed everything and moved them to the reception and been told the room is not ready, so we checked out from the room we stayed and haven't got our new room and ended up with no where to stay. We were told to come back to the reception after 2pm, and they will move our luggage to the hill view suite when we come back. We got back in the evening, the reception seems know nothing about this and took a long time to find the reservation and found our luggage in the storage room. We were taken to the new room, which was not hill view at all, it's exactly the same in terms of view and size as the one we stayed the night before, and was right upstairs to the room we stayed. Very bad experience over all.

Review 28：The spa was pleasant.

Review 29：When I checked in the Russian staff she was welcoming us with drinks then ignore us when she saw other guests arrived which was very rude. Even my friend with me said she is rude. Besides wifi is very slow in the room. When we complained in the hotel reception they advice us to pay extra to speed it up! Regarding food, there is not much options in the menu, even we tried the buffet it wasn't good. We went out for food eventually. The beach wasn't nice and rough we couldn't swim and the pool wasn't nice as well.

Review 30：The staff are friendly. Quite resort good for relaxation. Spa was good.

Review 31：The food was below average..basic dishes like a simple burger or a cheesecake were a hit and miss. It wouldnt have been a problem if the buffet was not pricey. We are avid travellers, and we know a thing or two about good food, I must say that we were disappointed considering that we ate at the resort most of our meals.

Review 32：Staff were very helpful and fast to respond to requests.

Review 33：Basically everything in the country is quite expensive and hard to find places to spend our holiday. Need more entertainment and activities or things to do.

Review 34：Great service, great staffs, great facilities from the moment we step in until the minutes after we checked out. We had alot of fun and enjoyed our stay with Kempinski. Thank you for providing us a heavenly service in a heavenly country.

Review 35：The pillows should be feather.The female staff were dressed in ridiculous wide trousers and hats,looking like clowns.The buffet was prohibitively expensive,£50 pp,not including any drinks.Water was £4 and a glass of alcohol from £8+.The Caribbean is far better in every way.

Review 36：The staff were very friendly,nice room and good food.

Review 37：The yoga class I booked at the hotel was cancelled without me being informed. I had to wake up early to go to class and when I arrived I was informed that it was cancelled.

Review 38：The location and swimming pool were amazing

Review 39：Room had a terrible smell that was diluted with an excessive amount of air freshener. Stayed at numerous Kempinski hotels and this one falls well below what I thought were fantastic kempinski standards

Review 40：Absolutely nothing.

Review 41：Genuine luxury at affordable price for this quality of service (keeping in mind that Seychelles are a costly destination). The setting is amazing, the resort being perfectly integrated in the scenery, framed by hills in the rear and a wide beach with white sand and pristine water in front. Rooms are huge and utterly comfortable: luxurious, king size bedding, spacious bathroom with italian shower, complimentary minibar with soft drinks and beer (refill at a cost). The themed dinner buffet is absolutely awesome, copious fresh food and fine cooking for every taste. Breakfast buffet is cast in the same mold. Last but not least, the staff is remarkably nice, discreet and always ready to fulfill the least of your desires.

Review 42：Waiting for check in before 2 after noon is crises. If you come before 2 they will tell you they are full and you need to wait to 2 afternoon.

Review 43：Food but very very expansive.

Review 44：The price for the food & bev was a ripe off - especially when compared to the authentic restaurants and cafe's in the area and outside the hotels. We particularly did not appreciate the cost to hire a car at the hotel compared to the other car hire providers at the airport and outside the hotels. The daily rate was 65% higher at the hotel than what we paid from a provider at 3 km's up the road.

Review 45：We particularly liked the friendliness and customer centricity of all the staff. The décor, quality of the facilities and location was excellent.

Review 46：The restaurants were very overpriced. The nightly buffet was $100 per person and was mediocre at best. The water was deemed too rough to go in by the hotel but they didn't offer any alternative activities which was disappointing (the resort is not near any other amenities so it is quite isolated).

Review 47：The beds are amazing! The rooms are beautiful, especially the sea view rooms that overlook the water (definitely worth the upgrade).

Review 48：The beach was not the best they could have done more with that set up and breakfast is always the same.

Review 49：Otherwise staff is great and the room was very comfortable and clean...

Review 50：There wasn't much to do in terms of cultural activities. I hoped there'd be more local food options available at the restaurants but there weren't too many. The pool is a bit small given it's a resort.

Review 51：The bed was a dream to sleep in - best sleep ever. We booked the beach access room and love the fact that we could leave the door open and listen to the sound of the rain and enjoy the fresh air while we slept.

Review 52：Food good but over priced. Not enough sea food on offer for a beach location. Theme dinner buffets are overpriced and the offer in the menu was not good.

Review 53：The friendliness and attentiveness of staff . excellent location and the Beauty of the Sea and landscape around was a nice experience. Excellent room layouts and comfort in the rooms. Manages free cocktail evening on Thursday was an excellent gesture. Free bikes and game room plus weekly activities for guests is very good offer from the hotel.

Review 54：The food wasn't great especially considering the prices expected a better quality of range at breakfast. I understand food needs to be imported however having been on other islands around the World I don't really see it as a justification especially when it's more expensive than London Paris or Dubai

Review 55：the staff as expected very pleasant from check in to the restaurants and also the beach the spa was very good and the atmosphere is home away from home

Review 56：Leaving

Review 57：My wife and I enjoyed our stay. The beach was perfect, hotel was great and the staff were amazing. Especially the staff at Windsong. Was also helped by one of the staff on his day off when we were at the shops. They offer daily activities so there's always something to do. Very friendly people.

Review 58：I didn't like the beach because you can't swim of the sea seeds and there was some rocks which can be cleaned and organized The gym equipment are not a lot It's 30 minutes from the airport

Review 59：the rooms are big with a nice balcony on the ocean The mini bar is free The bed is big and comfortable The club sandwich was great from room service I like the fresh from sea day which served fresh fish that was grilled infornt of you very good view mountain

Review 60：Service can be slow. But it's not like we are rushing.

Review 61：Some staff really went over and above. While some staff were lacklustre and actually looked annoyed at having to take our dinner orders. But overall everything balances out.

Review 62：If you have a small baby, request not to stay at the farthest end of the hotel because it is too difficult to walk all that way(we were at 701)

Review 63：Staff is wonderful/ helpful/ smiling. Beach is excellent. Hotel room and housekeeping is excellent. Food tastes great.

Review 64：breakfast is same everyday staff move at island speed food is very expensive and not great. choice of restaurants are limited spa treatments are expensive

Review 65：room is clean and a good size. beach has seaweed but less rough than other areas on island early checkin isn't a problem

Review 66：We had the seafood buffet on our last night and had the wine package as well. Although the food was good, we found that is was a bit overpriced and not quite the value for money we were looking for. The wine package is advertised as SCR 400 but is in fact SCR500 including tax.

Review 67：Prior to our arrival, I wanted to get some 'tips' on the Kempinski by reading previous guests' reviews. I was a little concerned by some of the negative comments, especially about the reception. I couldnt have disagreed more. We had an excellent experience when checking in and felt so welcomed by the ladies and gentlemen in the reception area. Yasmin gave us a very detailed orientation and showed us to our room. We absolutely loved the beach and the Windsong beach bar for lunch. We had dinner in the Ala Carte restaurant on our first evening and loved the food! The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. We were treated to complimentary drinks on our first evening at the hotel. A wonderful welcome and great way to meet other guests. The fresh hibiscus in the rooms is a lovely touch.

Review 68：The room service is not up to the level of the overall services provided.

Review 69：The design of the resort is impressive, the food is excellent and varied except for the open buffet. Magnificent beach.

Review 70：We were kept waiting for an hour for check in and still even the simple task of checking in took a further half hour. This lead to is missing a dinner reservation.

Review 71：Room was spacious and well appointed. Comfortable bed.

Review 72：Food and drink is crazily over priced, and taxis are so expensive it's hard to explore. I advise renting a car if staying for more than a couple of nights

Review 73：Great visit; nice hotel, nice staff, very relaxing, lovely beach, decent snorkeling

Review 74：Dining option is quite limited. Not much choice for the price paid. Not much daily activity other than beach.

Review 75：Very nice beach and the rooms are very cozy.

Review 76：Beach was restricted by Kempinski owner who hired a security guard to stop people from walking along the beach past his private home (but the beach is public!). Activities on the beach restricted. Water a bit shallow with weeds, and lots of sea urchin. Front desk staff really confused and disasociated caused many inconveniences. Beach staff negligent, always causing us to walk to the hotel to ask for help

Review 77：bed was great, room was large and comfortable. Breakfast staff friendly. Food was good quality (but not gourmet). I would never go back to this hotel

Review 78：That we couldn't stay longer.

Review 79：A truly wonderful haven. The design, decor and layout of the resort and rooms are sympathetic to the lush green tropical surroundings, the imposing furrowed boulders, the pure white sands and warm, crystal blue seas in every shade of blue imgaginable. The staff are incredibly warm, smiley and friendly; nothing's too much. Gastronomical delights and cocktails provide everything you could expect from 5 star luxury. Evening enterainment- music through a the decades is superb.

Review 80：Housekeeping was wanting, - on one day our room had not yet been by 330pm and had to call in, - on another day they did not replace any towels and had to call in and they were replaced after 45 mins waiting.

Review 81：The facilities are great. Wonderful food at the Windsong Restaurant. Great welcoming staff

Review 82：Bed was really uncomfortable, wifi working only outside ur room, breakfast is not worth the price. U feel like hotel trying to rip you off when we asked to arrange pick up from airport they suggested the price of 145€ when we get a taxi for only 50€.

Review 83：Beautiful resort, friendly staff.

Review 84：Internet connection. Many needs are not available in the gift shop or nearby supermarkets. For example, no barber shop.

Review 85：Privacy of beach. Variety of restaurants. Available activities. Spa. TV Channels. Quick check-in.

Review 86：I am travelling with 2 friends, due to misunderstanding, I have booked a room for 2 people, the staff rejected me to pay for extra bed for my friend, the only option is pay for an extra room, you can imagine the extra cost we need to pay for that 5/4 star resort. I am frustrated, not only about the extra cost but the staff's attitude, she seems to tell 'please leave if you are not going to pay for the extra room'. She gave me a smile until I accepted to pay for an extra room. I am upset with that attitude from a 5 star resort and the inflexibility room policy. Also, we need to pay EUR35 for breakfast which is not worth in terms of the food they served.

Review 87：The resort with nice environment; Nice long white sand private beach; Good facilities for snorkel. Free drinks inside refrigerator (until you finished the 1st lot); The resort price is reasonable if compare with other similar resorts in Seychelles.

Review 88：The location of the hotel is away from shops (takes more than 30 minutes walk to get to a near by shop), there were no near by restaurants. The side salads served with some meals were bitter and not tasty.

Review 89：Staff were very friendly and accommodating. There many activities organized within the resort. Ambiance was very relaxing. The meat in the restaurants was Halal.

Review 90：Reception staffs are somehow not friendly and they always get the phone during conversation

Review 91：Restaurant, Facility, Gym, Program, nice staff (Especially restaurant staff)

Review 92：nothing

Review 93：some of the staf were extremely friendly, and very helpful and did take the xtra mile for our comfort. and they do that not asking for money just for the sake of welcoming. Ricky and junio in the scuba diving centre were very sweet and made sure we had the most amazing time in our snorkeling class. Katherine from room service was very sweet and she cleaned our room very well and she is very polite

Review 94：Speed of check in was slow Offered an upgrade to sea view room by mail on the day yet this was not available - but in hindsight a good thing as the sea view is only available through fairly dense trees if you are on the ground floor!

Review 95：Most staff well trained Very comfortable bed in room Friendly and laid back feel

Review 96：- Limited food options (esp. for vegetarians) - Shallow pool - No ATM nor ability to charge taxi fares to the room (makes it difficult to get around unless you withdraw a lot of cash from the airport on arrival) - Internet connectivity limited to 3 devices (even on paid plan) which is not enough for 2+ people

Review 97：- Comfortable bed and room - Manicured property grounds - Swimming gear (googles, mask/snorkel, etc.) available at no charge

Review 98：Just the last few days weather and the hotel should have more signage boards to reach the resort

Review 99：The staff have been excellent and provided excellent service .... Specially Mr. Gautam the resturatan manager and the staff Mr. Dipesh .... They have provided 5 star service

Review 100：Nothing, we liked everything :D

Review 101：The staff are awesome and the resort offers plenty of activities you will never run out of things to do, also the resort is huge so you can enjoy privacy and alone time if you're looking for it. There are near beaches that you can walk to which are more beautiful than the one in the resort, the staff will help you with directions.

Review 102：We did notice that some of the beach chairs could be better maintained. Also we did not have a propper 5* service while at the beach (staff nowhere to be seen). At breakfast i think that the bread is either not made fresh at the hotel or it stays out for too long and with the humidity from the air gets really hard, but overall definitely recommend it.

Review 103：My wife and I stayed at this resort recently. Our experience was very good, the hotel staff was always kind and helpful. The room was clean ans very comfortable.

Review 104：Slow with breakfast serving coffee and eggs.
