What a beautiful apartment overlooking the ocean. I was warmly greeted and welcomed to my apartment which was fully furnished with everything you will require for your staff. The Wifi is strong and reliable. The owner was friendly, responsive on WhatsApp and very accommodating. I was checked upon daily by the lovely woman who works there. The location is great but as the apartment is on the top of a hill, it is quite steep even for a young fit person. At the bottom of the hill, you will find the breathtaking beach, locals selling fruits and within a short distance, there are local amenities such as convenient shops, a bank with international withdraws, restaurants and a beachfront restaurant with a beach club vibe which offers sun loungers for its guests. I would stay at Island Cove again when I visit Seychelles! Thank you for everything!

It was a beautiful place, the views were amazing, apartment was cleaned every 2 days, you really need a car if you can't walk up the very steep hills, we got a taxi everyday. In the apartment they have a smoke alarm in the bedroom, a fire extinguisher and a fire blanket in the kitchen. The beach is just down the road but if you turn right and walk another 10 minutes there is a lovely beach cafe called Kafe Kerol, the food was great. A wonderful holiday all round.

LOVED the ocean views. Holden's hospitality is superb. Note: the property is on a steep hill and I do not recommend that you WALK back up the hill from the beach as it really is steep. Great for people who rent a car, otherwise rely on cabs. Go to the K&K supoermarket (Indian-run and very clean) five minutes from the property for your groceries. Make sure you go out for at least one meal (lunch or dinner) every day. The food in the Seychelles is DELICIOUS.

We had an amazing stay at Island Cove. The hospitality from Holden was great. He was very helpful and kind. The best part of this stay was the sunrise from the balcony. The view from the balcony was truly breath taking. The location was perfect. The house it´s situated up on a hill, so you need to have some power to walk up ;) or a car if you don´t like exercising. Just down the hill Anse Royale beach unfolds with it´s beautiful sand and blue water. You have some great restaurants and cafées nearby as well. The room and apartment was big and spacious, there is a kitchen which we did not use, but it was ok and had the minimum equipment if you need it.The only downside, was the barking dogs that woke us up sometimes early or in the middle of the night. However, that´s a charm! Check in and check out was smooth and overall this place is highly recommended, we would go back anytime! The pictures and the description doesn´t make it justice, it´s better irl! Thank you Holden and staff, we wish you all the best!

Unfortunately we were given a different apartment than the one we booked. It was supposed to be the „panoramic apartment“ with a broad view over the bay and it was clearly pictured on the website. It was on the ground floor and our balcony view was mostly the parking lot and the windows of another apartment. Also the wifi was very weak and didn‘t reach most of the apartment and there was no hair dryer, which we received upon request, but on the last day. All the rest was ok and the people were kind, but it was still a disappointment.

Anfahrt mit einem Auto empfehlenswert. Wir wussten nicht, dass der Weg zum Hotel so steil ist, waren mit Koffer zu Fuss unterwegs. Es ist fast nicht machbar. Umso schöner war die Aussicht aufs Meer vom Balkon aus. Schöner Strand ist in der Nähe, Restaurants, Take Aways, Shops.

De accommodatie was heel schoon. Om de 2 dagen werd alles schoongemaakt en kregen we nieuwe handdoeken en lakens. De eigenaar was heel behulpzaam. Via hem een huurauto geregeld. Dat was ook nodig omdat de weg naar de accommodatie te stijl was om te lopen. We hadden vrij uitzcht op zee.
