Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa

Our first stay at a 5* Hilton. We'd stayed 5 and 4 star on several islands before arriving on Silhouette. The staff were noticeably incredible. The room was spectacular with a Seaview from the bed. The beaches seemed deserted although the hotel was fully booked. Water was free in the hotel and that was a departure from the previous hotels but that was about all that was free! No complimentary snorkel or kayaks, no free guided walks. I felt they were penny pinching at every turn, that was the biggest annoyance for me personally. However, the island is stunning and the staff were the politest we came across. Everyone acknowledged us from gardeners to chefs. A real quality in a hotel. The staff we got to know over our 5 days that were good fun and very professional were Muthoni, Kunal, Dilshan, Nathan and Charles. Thank you.

My wife and I, together with our daughter, spent six nights at Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa on Silhouette Island.|The resort on the island, which is mostly a National Park, surrounded by a marine park, and located between exquisite beaches and tropical jungle, with beautiful lush gardens, truly feels like paradise.|Our king garden villa with king-sized bed, sofa, large walk-in shower, and outdoor rain shower, bathtub, air conditioning, seating area with desk, minibar, and coffee maker, was extremely spacious, comfortable and clean. Our villa, also had a large patio with loungers, table, and lovely garden views.|The resort has many appealing facilities, including a stunning pool close to the beach, as well as a varied choice of bars and restaurants. |The buffet breakfasts served at the Cafe Dauban Restaurant, with views of the ocean, were delicious with an extensive and varied selection of food. |The Lo Brizan Bar next to the pool has a lovely relaxed social tropical vibe with good live entertainment. The cocktails and the pizzas were very good.|Every day we made use of the complimentary bicycles which were new and well maintained, and we had great fun cycling around exploring the island.|We also participated in the daily tortoise feeding sessions. The Aldabra tortoises live in a designated enclosure/sanctuary, and interacting and feeding the giant and smaller baby tortoises was a fantastic and enjoyable experience.|During our stay, we went on an interesting and informative afternoon/evening guided hike to find and view “flying-fox” bats, and the rare and endangered Seychelles sheath tailed bat which we were fortunate enough to see.|It was also fascinating and fun observing all the different interesting crabs on the island.|My daughter and I went scuba diving with Labriz Dive Centre, who are on-site, and have well maintained equipment to rent. The six dives that we did were excellent, and we saw plenty marine life, including, sharks, rays, barracuda, turtles, moray eels, octopus, and lots of reef fish. |The Eforea spa on the island is stunning and is integrated with the natural outdoor surroundings build among giant granite boulders and lush tropical forest. We made use of all the facilities, including the plunge pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. We treated ourselves to full body massages which were amazing and totally relaxing and invigorating.|The staff, were extremely efficient, friendly, and attentive, ensuring that we were well looked after at all times, making sure that everything was handled perfectly to ensure a truly memorable stay.|Overall, we had a fantastic stay at Hilton Labriz, and definitely hope to visit again.

Very nice resort. We had a beach villa which was an absolute dream. The food in the buffet restaurant is great (we had half-board). It was my wifes birthday while we were there and they even organised a small cake for us the night of her birthday even though they didnt know beforehand. We really appreciated this. The staff was great throughout our whole stay! Additional drinks and food are a bit pricey but they are transparent regarding the cost withouth any hidden fees etc. Drinking water was free. For us half-board was enough so that we didnt even really need to buy additional food or drinks. The Spa area is beautiful and hardly visited so dont miss out on this!

We went for our wedding at Labriz, staying 7 nights. Betty-Mae (sales and wedding coordinator) made the organisation trouble free and very straightforward, we highly appreciated her swift responses to emails and she welcomed us on arrival. On the evening of the arrival, Betty-Mae confirmed final arrangements. We were pleased she was one of our witnesses too! During the stay she was available always on WhatsApp and seemed to be always working! Can't fault her and she ensured our wedding was special and very memorable. ||The resort itself is stunning, very exclusive being the only fully serviced hotel on the island, and the rocks near the spa were an incredible sight. ||Highly recommend this hotel for an exclusive Seychelles holiday.

Absolutely gorgeous beach and forest. You basically pay for the views as the hotel’s facilities are a bit dated. Staff are all friendly and attentive but practically all activities are charged extra. Breakfast is repetitive. Good for a stopover during island hopping but staying do more than 4/5 days will probably bore you.

My husband and I stayed at the Labriz as our final part of our honeymoon. After staying on Mahe Island at Mango House (another Hilton) we were very excited to go to an island which only has 2 hotels on it. ||Our room was absolutely beautiful. We had a beach front villa so waking up in the mornings in particular were very special. We had an indoor and outdoor shower, the outdoor one had views of the sea through the room which was amazing. We had prosecco and cake for when we arrived as they knew we were on honeymoon so that was a lovely touch.||The main pool area is really nice and the individual restaurants had great food! We loved Portobello and the local restaurant Gran Kaz the most. You can also feed the tortoises which we did our first morning, so that was great. ||I would say the only let down is because there are so many guests you don't get that personal touch quite as much. I think we were spoilt from being at Mango House where it's a boutique hotel so breakfasts in particular felt a little chaotic. There are a lot of birds flying about and with plates left at the sides that wasn't a nice sight if your table is close to the clearing area! ||All in all, we had a lovely stay and I would recommend this hotel.

While the hotel and facility is beautiful. We felt that there are way to many kids. The only adults only place is at the spa. It would have been nice to have adult only sections at the hotels. The service is not too notch like the boutique experiences. There are just too many people. The room was amazing. We took the helicopter there and that was amazing.

The best resort I've ever had the pleasure of staying in (and I've been fortunate to travel all over the world). The location is spectacular. The staff are fantastic. Special mentions to Muthoni, Nisanth and Boniface. Also the legend that does the omelettes for breakfast needs a pay rise (I cant remember his name!). The nice man who looks after the tortoises is also brilliant. The food is mostly excellent. Some of it is average but that is the exception. Portions in Sakura are far too large. Four Degrees is the best. This resort is exceedingly expensive, however. Expect to pay £2500+ a week for an average couple just on food and drink. The cost of the ferry is not justifiable and management must know they are exploiting people. Finally, the diving was very good. Sadly, the dive centre leaves a lot to be desired. The staff are largely very unfriendly. There is a lovely South African lady and younger German man but sadly the rest are uninterested. The diving is very expensive and the service received does not match the money paid. The dives felt rushed and there was a lack of emphasis on the environment and marine life. Room for improvement but not a lost cause as we still had a great time. Please stay here if you ever get the chance but don't be stung by the final bill. To have a good two weeks as a couple, do some activities and not worry about how much you eat or drink, expect to pay £10,000 all in. The service charge and tax added on drives the cost up considerably. Thank you Hilton, please look after your staff as they are phenomenal, but most importantly keep up your stewardship of what is one of the most paradisial islands on the planet.
