Hôtel Avani Barbarons Seychelles Resort 4

Spent a lovely 5 days here… the views are amazing and the hospitality is excellent! We were surprised by the tasty indian food in the restaurant as well! The hotel also arranged a cab to take us around the island and it was the best decision! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

we traveled in 2019. the place is now shut down i suppose (in 2021) we had an enjoyable time with the whole family in august 2019 when we celebrated our dad's 75th birthday. The creole buffet was wonderful. The restaurants were quite good. And the beach beside the hotel was superb

We really have a good time here with my husband, the place is so amazing relaxing you, the staff are very attentive and professional, the room is clean and nice view from the beach! the room with balcony the bed the toilet is all perfect! the breakfast is amazing and tasty! you can have your breakfast next to the beach! all is perfect!

Me any my wife stayed at Avani on our honeymoon back in November 2018. I booked it literally on the last possible day and had some trepidations as it was our first stop on the route but everything turned out great! It is a VERY beautiful place, especially the private beach, which is windy and not really swimmable in November but just as pretty and scenic! Communication in advance was lacking, especially regarding transport but that was my own fault for doing everything in the last minute. On arrival we were greeted by an immensly helpful and kind member of staff whose name unfortunately I don't remember but he was from I believe Mali or Ghana. I'm sad I haven't taken a note of this as I have rarely seen such impeccable and kind service, even for Seychelles standards (which are really high!) and this wonderful man really deserves a raise for his efforts. The hotel itself is just a tad old-fashioned in looks but the rooms are amazing, spacious, full of light and opening up to a great courtyard with a pool. The restaurant (Tamarind) was also a jewel, not super expensive but availng of all landmark local dishes and with a kind Asian staff. Grand Anse is in general a pretty good place to stay on Mahe, as it is not the most popular stretch by far, but there are amazing beaches within close reach to the south and if you're not able or willing to splurge for the (otherwise amazing looking) Hilton, Kempinski or Ephelia, etc, Avani is a really great option. Sunset views are also one of a kind!

I feel there is not enough stars to rate the wonderful experience we had at Avani. The service was excellent, out of this world. We have never felt this spoiled and well taken care of. All the facilities were in good working order and the food was tasty. The view was amazing being right on the beach especially with breakfast and the buffet was great.The two kitties wondering around I also enjoyed as I am a huge animal lover and it made it feel more like home. The only thing is there is a lot of mosquitoes so bring some peaceful sleep, which the reception did warn us about beforehand. We definitely recommend this accommodation and to be honest we would even rate them above some of the 5 star hotels we where also at. Thanks again Avani!
