Eden Bleu Hotel

Unfortunately not there 24hrs but wish we had have been. Great room unfortunately never got the chance to make the most of it

Arrived early in the morning, hot and tired so paid extra $US150 for early check-in. However given an better room with view out over the marina which was very nice and comfortable. Area directly alongside hotel has many bars and restaurants as well as a shopping mall so plenty of choices. Hotel has a daily shuttle to Beau Vallon beach which is very useful. Local bus service to Victoria is cheap and colourful, taxis are expensive.

The hotel is beautiful and very modern and in a really gorgeous location right next to Mahe Mountains but as soon as we got there we had to wait an hour to check in there was a queue of hotel guests waiting to be served by one receptionist whilst other employees were walking about. The room was perfect as we had it overlooking the marina and the mountains but our bedcovers were dirty and had old make up stains on it. When we asked for it to be changed we got another stained linen set but this time it looked like tea stains. That was very appauling, also the lack of towels that are given is quite stingy had to keep calling housekeeping and it would take a few phone calls before someone actually came. The restaurant staff are very unfriendly the menu is very limited and doesnt really cater for vegetarians. The pool area is lovely and the bar staff are helpful but the ladies that work at the restaurant like to stare at guests alot and they make you feel uncomfortable. Housekeeping are very slacking when they tidy your room everyday you have to ask for specific things to be done when it should be done anyway.

The hotel is modern, clean and smart. Staff were friendly and courteous. We did however, find the dining room very understaffed. The room was comfortable apart from very small hanging space better suited to a single person on a business trip than a couple on holiday. Value for money would score a medium to low rating. Accommodation, taxi and restaurant prices in Seychelles differ little from London prices. As beautiful as it is, the feeling of being ripped off does detract.

Housekeeping i had to call three time to come to collect the clotches. I told them that i needed the clotches for next day at 8’30, and i also had to call at 8.50 to reminder then to bring the clotches. Restaruant service really slow and between dishes took 30 min of waiting. Last day i wanted to do late check out at 4 pm... they only offer me a the room until 2 p.m. Which i reached the hotel at 3 and i only was able to be seat in the terrace, they also offer me if i wanted to have a shower i needed to go another building and have the shower in shower gym. My expectation were much more that what i had. I hope they improve this couple of things because the location is amazing and the seasight views are really nice with stunning views. Many thanks
