The island itself was beautiful and the rooms were nice, but the poor service overshadowed the aesthetics. In particular, the quality of the dinner was disappointing and the breakfast was terrible (decent omelet, but several different breads were stale, the "cold" milk was warm).
While the staff members were not exactly rude, they were inattentive. I was told that I would be given a tour of the island but despite scheduling a time there was no one to provide the tour. Eventually, my tour consisted of a 10-minute drive in a golf cart (no stops) with a casual gesture to each area (e.g., "the beach is over there", "there is a bar at the end of the beach", etc.).
The 5-7-minute boat transfer from Victoria costs 65 Euros, which seems excessive given the short distance. Also, while Expedia states it is 65 Euros roundtrip, the hotel stated that it is 65 Euros each way. I spent the prior week on Mahe Island at a different resort, which on its face appeared significantly more expensive, but when factoring in the transport costs this hotel loses value.
Limited activities - I had hoped to go diving or at least snorkeling in the morning but was told that these activities were only available in late afternoon. I was only there 2 days so this was an issue for me.
This was my first stay in a Beachcomber hotel, and I would be hesitant to try another.
