Mahé Island

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely sea view apartments. All very new and modern. Very good outdoor shared area with sun loungers and canoes, paddle boards etc for free use. Only slight disappointment was that weather conditions meant that beach area immediately in front of the apartments was not accessible, though beach was only a 3 minute walk away.
