We had an excellent stay at the Hilton Seychelles Labriz. The hotel offers a beautiful setting, wonderful facilities, and what truly made our experience was the exceptional staff.||||A special mention goes to Muthoni, who worked across several restaurants and the bar – her warm personality and smile brightened our stay every day. Pradeep, one of the managers, went above and beyond to ensure all guests were happy and deserves real credit for his attentiveness. Head Chef Simon was outstanding – since the vegetarian menu was a little limited, he personally came to speak with us every morning and prepared special evening meals that were thoughtful and delicious. Nothing was too much trouble. Finally, Tamilizh in the bar deserves praise for his quiet but excellent customer service – always attentive and professional.||||In terms of facilities, the hotel really does have everything you could want: a padel court, tennis court, snorkelling, kayaking, indoor and outdoor gyms, and more. The spa was also a highlight. Every night a live band plays in the bar creating a vibrant atmosphere. ||||The only reason our stay was not quite 5 stars is that, while we booked an all-inclusive plan, at times it did not feel entirely so. Many activities such as tennis, padel, kayaking, and snorkelling came at an additional cost. Food was only available at set mealtimes, with no light snacks readily accessible during the day, and poolside drinks service was limited – usually requiring guests to go to the bar themselves rather than being able to order from a lounger. Also, whilst bikes are available from the activity centre, they are in need of an upgrade and must be returned by 6pm to avoid a charge. These are relatively small issues, and when we raised some of them with rooms manager Simon, he was more than happy to accommodate, listen, and act on feedback.||||We understand the hotel is due for a major change in the coming year, with the owners looking to give it a more ‘Maldives-style’ feel. If so, some of these points may be addressed going forward.||||Overall, we had a fantastic stay, enjoyed the facilities and staff enormously, and would happily return. With a slightly more polished all-inclusive experience, this would easily have been a 5-star stay.
