KEMPINSKI SEYCHELLES RESORT BAIE LAZARE

Very nice place at a great but remote location. Beautiful Beach, well trimmed extremely beautiful garden surroundings. Happy and serviceminded staff. Exclusivly but expensive. Consider very much to book for full board, because there are no other dining options in the vicinity or several kms away. Even by rented car it is difficult on the whole Mahe Island to find a regular and approciate restaurant in the local society to dine proper - not exclusively - but proper. The tourism is based on dining at the resorts at Seychelles. But overall very satisfied with our stay.

We recently stayed at Kempinski Seychelles Resort. It was our first visit to Seychelles as we usually go to Maldives or Mauritius. We stayed in a Seaview room which was very nice and reasonably spacious. The bathroom and shower was big, the room had a nice living area with a large variety of satellite channels and movies. I must say that the bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in....very difficult to get up and drag myself to breakfast in the morning...😂 The wifi throughout the resort is the best I have experienced. The staff were excellent, definitely some of the best we have ever encountered. Cannot recall walking past 1 staff member without being greeted with a smile. The quality of food was good, full of taste and a reasonably good variety, not quite as good as we use to in the Maldives but still quite good. We stayed on a half board package. I must say that I was a bit shocked at the prices of the food and drink, approximately 4 times the regular price. Again the food offered for lunch at The Windsong Beach Restaurant was very good but crazy expensive. The beach / pool area is ok. Not the greatest pool area we've been too but acceptable. The snorkeling off the beach is pretty good, some of the best "off shore" snorkeling I've experienced. Problem is when the wind blows it is not very accessible. Bad points: Well entertainment is pretty much non existent at night except for a 2 man band at the bar. No shows, disco nights, theme nights.... nothing. Pretty much nothing to do after dinner. I am an avid diver and have logged close to a 100 dives. This was by far the worse diving experience I have ever had. The "dive centre' if you could call it that is located approximately 20 min from the resort. I was very concerned about safety when I got there. We had to carry our own gear to the dive boat which was some 400m from the "dive centre". I didn't mind that so much but when I was told we had to carry it back after the dive I was a bit offended. After all I did just pay $70 for a mediocre dive. We were at the resort for 10 days. Usually in 10 days I would do about 8-10 dives but I really didn't feel save going back in the water. Dive centre staff were very nice and friendly but they could take safety, dive planning etc. a bit more seriously. To sum it all up I would say great resort (if you don't dive) and don't like entertainment but I would still much rather go to Mauritius or Maldives at 70% of the price.

We stayed here on our Honeymoon for 10 nights in June. Hotel: The hotel as a whole was a decent size for the holiday and the beach did stretch out a long way so there was always a quiet spot to sit and relax all day. The fact there was waiting service too was a bonus. One let down was there was a large amount of seaweed on the beach but i understand this could have been to do with the windy season. The Wifi was very stable and reliable especially via the Ubiquiti access points. I could be lying on the beach, in the room or at the bar having drinks and i always had a signal so coverage was good. Although throttled to 2Mb it was decent enough for what you want on holiday. Eateries: The food on the resort was brilliant and it was great to always try something different - especially local Creole delicacies. Cafe Lazare was always good to set you up for the day with a big varied breakfast. We only went to the evening buffet once during our stay as we prefer the traditional dining experience. Windsong Beach Restaurant was your usual laid-back restaurant, we ate here multiple times but did think the lunch menu had a better choice of food; but with the service being a lot slower and not as refined as the evening. L'indochine made the holiday though, the food here was incredible and the service impeccable. We started with the private dining by the lagoon which was an experience in itself and i would highly recommend it to anyone staying at this resort. Because of this we returned to the restaurant multiple times with Zulu and Maureen really making the whole experience brilliant each night. It was a shame we left without passing onto Daniel how brilliant this restaurant is. One note though is if you try to adhere to a dress code and people get dressed up to enjoy the whole experience please enforce it. When people with shorts and flip-flops walk in to eat at 21:00 it completely kills the whole aura and style for the other diners. We were in shock it was allowed. Events/Activities: Unfortunately due to the time of year none of the water activities could be undertaken or we couldn't hire a kayak; this was a bit of a letdown although i can understand the reasoning. We did turn up to the tortoise feeding one day but nobody from the hotel turned up in the first 10 minutes so just walked over ourselves to see them. With this being a Beach resort and it being not near anything we were expecting the evenings to be slow. But after 20:00 the place really died down. There was a casino at the end of the road near the Four Seasons entrancement that Edwina told us about but we decided to leave and not try it. Overall: Overall this was a brilliant and relaxing hotel. Being a secluded beach resort you have a large area to relax in the sounds of the sea and trees blowing in the wind. If you want a chilled holiday with no stress or busy days then its a delight to stay here.
