  • On the beach at the western end of Gran Anse lies the Hotel Maison des Palmes, offering thatched-roof, bungalow-style accomodations.
    There is a charming restaurant that offers a grill on Wednesday and a Creole buffet on Saturday, both with live music.
    The food is very good and they give exceptional service although it is always a full house in the restaurant. There was when we were there anyway.

    Unique Qualities: The hotel has a swimming pool, tennis courts and a pool table and offers windsurfing, canoe and boat excursions to the little off islands.

  • We chose to stay here because it was very close to town and not as expensive as most of the larger hotels.
    We had one side a double bungalow with a nice patio, large bedroom, & a shower,.
    The grounds were nicely kept and we saw many birds there.

    Unique Qualities: There was a large open air restaurant that served good food.
    There was no view but it was a short walk or ride to the beach or town.

  • These are off the beaten path but well worth the drive.
    Beautiful self catering bungalows over looking the bay.
    Owner came by to welcome us on our first night there and invited us to be their guests for dinner.

    Unique Qualities: There is a pool now but there wasn't when we stayed there.
    There are nice views over the bay.
    We watched the flying foxes leave of an evening and return the next morning.
    Close by is very good snorkeling and a convenience store.
    Good restaurant nearby also.

     all the small tours to different, unique islands and a rain forest was most wonderful. Excellent hotel and transportation tips. What a grand tour you have given of the Seychelles. Love the flying monkeys. I love your emphasis on nature.

     Looks like a great place to visit when N America is in the deep freeze. One has to slow down for the relaxing life style. Ahh Pleasure. Thanks for visiting my H.P.
