Constance Ephelia

I’m going to write a long report as the hotel worth considering for a get-away holidays and is a real gem in Mahe. It has everything you need for perfect stay, specially for families with kids. Plenty of things to keep you and kids busy. Literally, you can stay all the time in the hotel but feel that you’ve been to many places and done all possible activities. Spa is beyond expectations, with external whirlpools with thermal and cool water, magnificent views to tropical gardens. The therapy (massage) I’ve got was very professional. I believe the hotel has a very effective management team. The facilities, services, every detail is carefully envisaged and devised to the maximum comfort of clients. The area is huge, it gives you the feeling of living in the tropical garden/forest. The layout of accommodation is designed in a way to give the feeling of privacy, tranquility and The staff in the hotel is extremely polite, attentive and efficient. There are many options for dining. All restaurants in the hotel making a high class food. The breakfast and buffet dinner (Corossol restaurant) are beyond expectations, huge variety of dishes from international cuisine. It’s obvious the menu prepared with thorough consideration for people with different preferences and diets. Everything is tasty, fresh, well presented. The deserts for dinner are in abundance and absolutely delicious! I recommend to take half/full board, it’s cost-effective and well worth it. The hotel has 2 main beaches. The North beach is magnificent, long, absolutely clean with no corals or seaweeds, not effected by tides, you can swim anytime. There are few travel agencies located in the hotel which can offer various excursions and activities, I recommend Creol Agency. Very efficient staff and service they provide at competitive prices. Definitely, I would recommend this hotel for stay in Seychelles, no disappointments during our entire stay.

We really liked our stay at Constance and the first thing that comes to mind is their breakfast buffet - absolutely amazing! We could've eaten for hours - there were a lot of options for us vegetarians. The resort offers a lot of activities & has many great facilites. We usually do not like resorts because they often feel crowded but this one is so big that, expect for breakfast time, it doesn't feel crowded at all. The beaches are really great too! We also really appreciated the fact that you could still stay there all day after checking out - they have lounges where you can shower & get changed before your flight.

- staff - extremely well trained and catered to our every need. all staff were very polite, and the stay had a very personal feel which I have not experienced before having been fortunate to have travelled to many luxury properties. A special thanks to the manager Lalu who had helped us organise activities even when he was not working. He had found out our favourite food, and had organised for a farewell lunch at the Sesselois restaurant as it was fully booked for dinner during our stay! A really special memorable touch. A further thanks to Vikas, Ryza, Chef Rita and the team at Sesselois , as well as the cleaning team (Prijesh) - facilities - was a huge property which was extremely well maintained. was able to make use of the SUP, kayaks and snorkelling equipment on north beach without charge. the Spa is available to guests during certain hours and this was phenomenal - a true paradise with multiple pools and rooms to use. we also enjoyed feeding the giant tortoises. make sure to check out the Cabana bar especially during sunset. drinks may be expensive but they are definitely worth it. - food - were spoilt for choice at the Corossol Buffet at breakfast and at dinner, and we are both vegetarian. the buffet had plenty of high quality options and was changed daily. half board was suitable for us. we also enjoyed the restaurants Adam and Eve as well as Sesselois, where the Chef had prepared a customised meal to cater for our dietary needs.

Property location is very well situated and in between the national marine reserve (north beach) and the national forest reserve. In general the food is great, breakfast has a good value with lots of varieties. The pool next to Adam & Eve restaurant was the best and we enjoyed it a lot and as well our children (age 14 & 12). We rented a car upon arrival to airport and we went every day for a 2 hours drive to discover the beaches. As an advice to all visitors to Seychelles, take a minimum of half board or plan to eat lunch / dinner at the hotel as there are not many options in the country. Prepare to spend around 200-300 Euros for dinner, all the restaurants are great (Best was Adam and Eve). The children tried the ZIP Line and it was great, they enjoyed it a lot. The whole family went to hiking and it was great, I advise you to go (our guide Ashley was great). We went as well on a mangrove walk / talk, it was great and thanks to our guide Markous, amazing tour. Used the gym few times and it was great. At the north beach we did kayaking twice and had a good time.

Nice restaurants and nice areas by the pool and sea. Very friendly staff. Good with shuttle buses.
