“Прекрасный отдых для семьи”
Everything was just wonderful in this place. We had a rest as a family: me, my husband and two children. Administrator Adam was attentive to us, treated us to dinner, fed our children delicious pancakes. Here it felt like we were at home - it was so cozy and calm. Thank you very much to everyone involved in this guest house for our best vacation!

“Great place for your holidays”
Mervin & Adam did their best to make our stay formidable ! Helped out on renting a car on a last minute. Offered a meal and bottle for new year's eve (how kind!) and made sure we could have a late check out before heading for our flight. They also gave recommandation on the island. They are doing their best to make your stay awesome. The place is very quiet (a few dogs and chicken in the neiberhoud, but not on the property.), and nice view on the moutains. Only thing to consider : You will definitely need a car. Great beach are close by (Takamaka & Intendance), but by foot it would not be that pleasant. All in all, if the place suits you, don't hesitate !

“Beautiful accommodation in a brill location”
This accommodation is beautifully presented and great value with a fully kitted kitchen, living room area, bedroom and bathroom. We got more for our money than we did anywhere else we stayed in The Seychelles. Special shout out to Mervin as well, epitomises the 'couldn't do enough for you' attitude with lots of lovely little touches to help us out despite ours being just a one night stay before we flew out. In case you are worried about the location in the jungle the incense and fragrances on site did a great job keeping mosquitoes at bay. Walking out to bird song is also a treat We ate at the La Redoute restaurant a one minute walk away and that was great too - brave the bat dishes if you dare. Our only regret is not being able to stay longer.

“Amazing”
The hosts are amazing and trying to help you with everything. Marvin and Adam are always up for a quick talk and really friendly. Also offering some fresh fruit from time to time. Super nice to try fresh jack fruit and freshly picked Bananas. The Red Snapper they prepare is a exceptional 😍

“Like at home :”
Marvin and Adam were wonderful hosts, always trying to guess pur needs and anticipate them. Their mission is to welcome guests as at home and you could feel it. In addition Adam is a great cook and I highly recommend booking any meal with him. It will be much cheaper than in a restaurant but of may be even better quality. The place is in remote area so a car is advisable. I specifically enjoy the closiness to the jungle and a morning swim in a swimming pool. Nearby you will find the arguably most beautiful beaches on Mahé - Anse Takamaka and Intendence. The western beaches are much better in my opinion, there are less people and prices are also lower in take-aways, almost twice as lower.

“Fantastic place, largely thanks to its staff”
First, I confirm every positive comment that I read about this place! Spacious and comfortable apartments in a beautiful setting, but it is really Adam and Marvin’s constant availability and kindness that makes this place truly unique. On a separate note, I was served 3 dinners for a similar price to these of the nearby restaurant, only it tasted better and the portions were overwhelmingly generous!!

“Come back soon to see how the place is growing and enjoy pure dzungle and 3 most beaut. beaches”
Nice place. Reconstruction is slowly running (no noise, do not worry). Place is wonderful, I believe that in next few years it will be game changer in the area. Very nice owners and cleaning behavior. Nice dinner. You can watch fruit bats each evening.

“Wonderful place. Highly recommend!”
I fully endorse this property. It's an amazing location with even more amazing host. We were warmly welcomed. The host recommended the most beautiful spots on the island, helped us purchase bus tickets, took us to the currency exchange office, and showed us the nearest shops. The apartments are both spacious and large, and offer stunning views of the jungle. Located close to nature and beautiful beaches.

We chose this chalet as it has an interesting jungle location, very good grades and a suitable price in the Takamaka area. Adam and Merlin (owners of several chalets in the complex) were friendly and open to advice and to help us (we were welcomed with juice and a huge plate of fruit, one day we were booked into a restaurant, we were also helped to get out of the jungle when we went on a trekking trail to Capuchins beach and got lost). On site, there is a swimming pool with clean and warm water which was very nice to swim in with a baby. We were also offered lovely complementary breakfasts for 15 euros (free for children under 12). We stayed at this hotel on Christmas Day, and were given a (free) Christmas dinner and gifts (this is something of a wow - how can this be). We felt like we were visiting our best friends who appreciated us very much. The great atmosphere from the owners and staff is unbeatable. We stay in an average of 50 different hotels a year (both private villas, houses and 4*-5* hotels) and in most hotels the owners or staff treat guests like water, not doing anything out of the hotels bounds, with strained smiles and standard requests (this is normal). We felt like long awaited and valued guests at this hotel. Fully recommended, a magical experience and unbeatable value for money where quality is so much more.

“Fantastic hosts, beautiful location, spacious well thought out accommodation with a feel of luxury.”
I loved my apartment. I loved the separate lounge, the big comfy bed, the big walk in wardrobe, the full kitchen, sitting out on the patio at night, sitting by the pool in the day. I loved my hosts Mervin and Adam. Both very professional, very helpful and very attentive.

“Heaven on Earth”
The place is exceptional and beyond expectation, great location, best beach, 10 min walking. Very clean and really friendly staff. Adam and Mervin are great hosts, plus Adam is a great chef, and for a very responsible price, you can have best fish in the world. Highly recommend the place for a great holiday , to rent a car is best to get around Seychelles, for shopping and visit place nearby. There is a beautiful restaurant 2 min walking and the food is delicious. The view and the pool is absolutely beautiful, me and my girlfriend didn't expect to find out that the place is more beautiful than the pictures on booking. Com . We will visit again and we wish Mervin and Adam all the best.
