Stayed 7 nights in Executive Deluxe double room. Staff and a manager were very kind and caring. The owners Brian and Beryl arranged a return taxi from/to airport, car hire for a duration of our stay and a dinner on our arrival. We've been feeling in the hotel like to be at home. We've received a lot of useful information and good advices. Excelent hotel. Highly recomend to stay in this hotel.

We would stay here again when we visit with family

The room and property have an incredible ocean view and in excellent condition. The room is very spacious, clean and comfortable with fast wi-fi even with full kitchen, a laundry machine but no dryer. It is in a very quiet neighborhood on a steep hill. Make sure using the lowest gear to drive all the way to the top. There are a lot to do nearby including beautiful beaches and grill place and short distance to Victoria. We would definitely come back.

Great!

Beautiful place and absolutely amazing with sunset from the balcony. Eunice was very helpful and professional. The room was large and everything worked well. Yes, it is steep up to the house, but the view is unbeatable. Either way, take a taxi or rent a car from Eunice. The property also has a nice swimming pool which we used after a long day at the beach. Some nice beaches within walking distance, and not least a short drive to Beau Vallon by car or taxi. Short walk to a grocery store is also convenient. The breakfast could have som improvement but it’s not bad. Highly recommend this place.

Wir waren 14 Tage im self-Catering Zimmer untergebracht und genossen die Zeit dort sehr. Jeden Tag wurde alles gereinigt, es gab 2 Flaschen täglich dazu und ansonsten hat man alles, was man braucht. Die Küche ist voll ausgestattet und im großen Bad steht eine Waschmaschine. Gerade wenn man viel schwitzt, ist diese Sache Gold wert. Laura hat uns sehr unterstützt, egal ob es um Taxi, Restaurantbesuche, Strände erkunden oder Mietwagen ging. Jeder Zeit wieder, würden wir genau so unseren Urlaub verbringen wollen.

À quelques minutes de la plage, restaurants, boutiques, etc...L'hôte, Laura, était extrêmement gentille, souriante et aidante. Le personnel est dévoué, poli, serviable et attentif à nos moindres caprices! Les petits déjeuners Ils ont fait de nos vacances aux Seychelles un séjour mémorable !

Spettacolare panorama

Appartamento con tutti i confort. Terrazzo con vista meravigliosa sullo splendido mare di Mahè. Piscina aperta fino alle 10.00 pm Vicino una spiaggia stupenda, fortunatamente poco conosciuta. Vicino anche alle fermate dei bus che portano sia a Victoria che a nord Mahè. Ottima attenzione al cliente da parte di tutti i dipendenti. Migliorabile la colazione. L'unico aspetto negativo per chi come noi non ha affittato un'auto è la ripida salita che conduce all'hotel.

Très bon séjour, Brian est serviable, ainsi que son employé. Déjeuner copieux mais toujours le même choix, il faudrait peut être varier les yaourts, le jus ou proposer des croissants, pain au chocolat. La pente pour monter à la résidence est très raide et difficile si vous êtes à pied. Il vaut mieux louer une voiture, Brian en loue ! Il y a des petits supermarchés à côté pour faire quelque courses, et quelques restaurants et takeaway pas loin. Il y a quand meme des arrêts de bus à proximité, de belles plages où on est quasi tout seul à proximité et la plage de Beau Vallon à 45 min à pied, ou 10 min en bus ou en auto stop. La vue sur l’océan est magnifique depuis le balcon. On peut manger sur place de délicieux plats de poissons mais le tarif est un peu cher. Néanmoins nous recommandons cet hébergement à tout couple étant en lune de miel, car c’est très calme.

Just had a very relaxing two weeks at Glacis Heights. Brian could not have been more helpful with suggestions, tips and general help. The villas is situated five minutes walk from a two small cove beaches and most of the time these were like private beaches to ourselves. Take advantage of the hire cars here as they are the cheapest on the island and readily available, without the need to travel to another agent. We would have no hesitation in recommending this place to anyone.
