Overall Ratings & Reviews Crown Beach Hotel

Seychelles is an expensive destination and this hotel was a real find - medium-priced, charming and right on the beach. The staff were superb - friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. The food was not elaborate, but was tasty, plentiful and good value. The hotel is right on the beach and some of the tables for dining are outside, beside the sand. There is also a pool. We did not rent a car, and just outside the hotel there are bus-stops for the iconic blue public buses, which tear around and have high ridership. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return to Crown Beach if we visit Seychelles again.

The location is great it’s right on the beach. Not close to the party scene but if you want tranquility this is the spot for you. You basically have your own private beach. Do rent a car as things are further away. Having a car makes this hotel great as you can explore but don’t have to stay with all of the other tourists

A bit far from Victoria, which meant renting a car, taxi or public transportation. The public bus was an experience every traveller should do at least once. It is efficient but a wild ride! Taxi’s expensive. The staff at crown beach did their very best at suggesting tours and those which allowed hotel pick up. The restaurant was good but expensive. We would actually return as it was quiet ,on the beach and staff impeccable especially John!

Staff very welcoming and very tidy hotel , really enjoyed our stay there.

We stayed at the Crown Beach for our honeymoon, it is a peaceful, tranquil place with a few nicely set rooms. The head host Miss Alice is amazing and surrounded by a very capable and friendly team with notable mentions to Tapas, Babu and Jon and the lovely lady in reception. These people will go ou of their way to make your stay a great stay. Thank to you guys. Nicolas & Louise

Crown Beach is on the water and a great place to go beachcombing. The staff are excellent -- John, Tapas, Alice -- they all help make our stay in the Seychelles a wonderful vacation. Will definitely recommend staying here.

Overall very good Friendly staff and willing to help Great place next to the beach

The hotel and staff were exceptionally courteous, friendly, and very helpful. Food was good, and the rooms very excellent. Unfortunately, it was very difficult to swim on the beach at the hotel due to rough sand and broken shells. Also low tide was very low for swimming. However, a very nice beach was available a short walk away.

The overall impression of this small boutique hotel has been ruined by a dreadful internet service. The Seychelles as a whole has poor internet, but the 3G does work reasonably well, and WIFI elsewhere on the island is useable. However, here at the Crown Beach Villa it is off more often than on and the speeds when on, are woefully slow. If internet is not important to you, then you should be very pleased with the hotel location, nestled in a tropical private corner of the bay, right on the beach. Great sunrises. A small pool and various sun loungers are also available. The food is good and the breakfast includes fruit, toast and cooked food. The staff are helpful and will arrange car hire ( approx 40 euros per day) or taxis. A small supermarket and cafe are just across the road, as is the bus stop, for the bus that goes into Victoria via the airport. Recommend you buy a 4G SIM card on arrival at the airport. The food/drinks inside the hotel are a little expensive.

Beautiful views; wonderful service; reasonable room rate! Short drives to snorkel sites and lunch cafes. Breakfast included. Small market 50 meters walking distance.

Well worth the money! Right on the ocean, brilliant staff, awesome manager and close to some cool restaurants! Received a complimentary bottle of champagne on Valentines Day!

The beach experience is great. Service is excellent

A Super Hotel Everything about Crown Beach Hotel was great! We got in very early in the morning and were immediately given our room. The biggest attraction of this hotel is its super efficient and most friendly staff! The hotelʼs GM, Alice, is one of a kind, who always went out of her way to assist us. Special mention must also be made of Anifa and Romney at the front desk and Tapas in the restaurant. There were many others who were also very helpful to us. The front desk helped us to rent a car, make arrangements for an excursion, getting taxis to and from the airport and always gave us super advice on where to go, things to do and where to eat!!! They were able to get us good rates on taxis and the car rental. We would strongly advice everyone to rent a car when visiting Seychelles - taxis are expensive, public transport ok but not the best and driving around is so very easy. The hotel has its own secluded beachfront and we went for swims at the sea by the hotel every day. The breakfast at the hotel is quite adequate and the food served at other times ok. There are many nice restaurants in the area to go to, for which having a car is almost a must! We highly recommend a full day excursion to Preslin and La Digue islands. Also there are some fabulous beaches in Mahé, Beau Vallon and Port Launay being the best. We highly recommend Crown Beach Hotel to everyone, a small, homely and classy hotel!!!

The Crown Beach hotel is an incredible value in Seychelles. The level of service, comfort, beautiful beach and wonderful restaurant make this a great option for a smaller hotel. It is located off the main road that runs along the island. If you have a mountain view, you will hear cars driving by at night. For a more quiet setting, choose an oceanview. The staff at Crown Beach was one of the best I have experienced at a hotel. They all went out of their way to be helpful. There is a lot offered for breakfast, made fresh such as any type of eggs you want and crepe pancakes. The dinners were of high quality fresh fish, and affordable ($40 USD/per person). I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a smaller hotel on Mahe at an affordable price. Note - this is Seychelles...don't expect super-fast wifi.

Location, location, location. Wonderful, clean, small hotel right on one of the most beautiful beaches in the Seychelles. The hotel staff were amazingly accommodating and went out of their way to make it an unforgettable experience. The manager drove us to a nearby village, the owner drove us around Mahe Island and everyone was friendly and had a smile on their face.

Great food, great staff, great value for money. Rental car an advantage but now essential as there's a bus stop opposite.

Very nice and clean hotel, very good view from the room. One bad thing, Wifi is charged extra, which isn't a nice feeling. Good and helpful staff !

It was overall a good stay. Enjoyed the location on the beach with thick trees to provide shade from the sun. The beach is quiet and lovely although this is not really a swimming beach. Good for younger kids however. Staff were attentive and very accomodative to our infant. Breakfast was good and quick in the morning. Pool is small but was perfect. This is not hotel specific but if you come to Seychelles. Rent a car for a few days. Taxis are ridiculous priced and buses are irregular in their timing. The staff arranged for a rental quickly and the price/service were great.

Nice holiday. Pleasant view on a sea. Beach good for photos.

The hotel is wonderful with large rooms, a pool, and private beach. The hotel is near a grocery store but nothing else, a car is required. The food options at the hotel during the day are not much but dinner is pretty good. If you are looking for a wonderful hotel with a beautiful view, private beach and friendly staff to just relax for a while this is a great place.
