Avani+ Barbarons Seychelles

I am a big fan of Japanese food, so I was excited to visit this restaurant. At first, I thought there were only sushi options available, but after we were seated, Sushi Chef Amit came to our table, introduced himself, and made us feel very welcome. Chef Amit explained that avocado was not available in Seychelles at the moment because of a delay with suppliers. We appreciated his honesty and the way he personally took the time to explain the situation. Despite this, Chef Amit prepared an amazing selection of authentic Japanese dishes for us, including ramen soup, chicken karaage, robata-style beef, and more. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. He was very helpful, friendly, and passionate about his cooking. We truly enjoyed our experience and appreciated Chef Amit’s hospitality and effort to make our meal special. It was a memorable Japanese dining experience, and we would happily come back again.

Fantastic location, extra ordinary tranquility. My room view was spectacular. Service and care from Shirine at the main restaurant, Welcome by reception team very comforting after a long flight. Super place to be

Everything was really good from start to end. Breakfast was really nice as you have lot of options. There are 3 hotels inside and all looks good. We almost enjoyed and chill for 3 days. Overall nice experience.

The food was amazing! Great service from Justin

Our stay at Avani+ Barbarons Seychelles was nothing short of excellent. The resort is exceptionally clean, and the beautifully curated design creates an atmosphere that makes you pause and truly appreciate your surroundings. Every space feels thoughtfully designed and immaculately maintained. What truly elevated our stay was the incredible team. Randima deserves the highest praise. From the moment we made our booking until we checked out, he provided exceptional end-to-end service. He was even in contact with us while we were packing for our trip, ensuring everything was in place before we arrived. His experience, knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care for his guests are evident in everything he does he even helped create a suprise birthday for my Father and accommodate appropriate rooms! Pays attention to detail and thoughtful. He consistently goes above and beyond, and he is one of the main reasons we would return to this hotel. Bhanuprasad is an outstanding young gentleman and a true asset to the resort. Every morning he greeted us with a smile and was always eager to help, whether arranging a table or making sure our family had everything we needed. Nothing was ever too much trouble. For Bhanu duty comes first. His professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail are exemplary, and I am certain he has an incredibly bright future in hospitality. A special thank you to Margarita, whose warmth and kindness made every breakfast enjoyable. Always smiling and welcoming, she clearly takes pride in what she does, and it shows in both her service and the wonderful food she prepares. Nicole was equally fantastic. She brought back wonderful memories from our visit to Seychelles 34 years ago and went above and beyond to help us rediscover places around the island. Very caring nature, wonderful personality, and genuine enthusiasm! Lyra was another wonderful member of the reception team. She was always a delight to speak with, incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help. She even took the time to telephone places we wanted to visit to ensure they were open before we made the journey. We always felt we were in safe hands, and she is a fantastic representative of Avani+ Barbarons Seychelles. The only disappointing aspect of our stay was our experience with Adriana and friends (lazy) during breakfast service. On several occasions, our simple request for an outdoor table for our family was treated as though it were an inconvenience, with excuses made rather than an effort to accommodate us. More disappointing was seeing her then gossiping with colleagues at the coffee station after the interaction, which created an uncomfortable and unnecessary atmosphere. Rather than ignore the situation, I approached Adriana myself and politely asked if there was an issue. I was met with a surprised expression but no explanation. Having stayed in many high-end hotels around the world, this is not the level of behaviour or professionalism we have come to expect, and it was quite shocking to experience. Fortunately, this was an isolated incident and contrasted sharply with the outstanding service provided by Bhanuprasad and the rest of the team, who consistently demonstrated genuine warmth, professionalism, and a true guest-first attitude. We hope the hotel can ensure a more consistently warm, energetic and guest-focused approach across the breakfast team, as it makes a significant difference to the start of the day and would make an already excellent guest experience even better. Overall, this was a wonderful stay at a beautiful resort. The exceptional service from Randima, Bhanuprasad, Margarita, Nicole, and Lyra far outweighed this isolated issue. Lovely guards as well eg Kumar! They are a credit to Avani+ Barbarons Seychelles, and we look forward to returning in the future.
