Massively Overpriced, Poor Service, and a Terrible Beach: Not Worth the $500/Night I recently stayed at this hotel in Seychelles for 4 nights as a solo traveler, paying between $450 and $500 USD per night. Given the steep price tag, you naturally expect high-end service, pristine amenities, and an experience reflective of a luxury resort. Unfortunately, almost every aspect of my stay fell drastically short, making it one of the most disappointing hotel experiences I've ever had. After a grueling 17-hour long-haul flight, I arrived exhausted, checked in, and headed up to my room. My bags were left behind at the concierge. After waiting 30 minutes with no sign of them, I went back downstairs only to find my luggage still setting there. When I complained, a staff member rushed out from an office to finally bring them up. For $500 a night, basic luggage delivery post-arrival shouldn't require tracking down your own bags. Also, Upon check-in, I was informed I needed to leave a €500 deposit for incidental expenses at the restaurant just for a 4-night stay as a solo traveler. Demanding €500 upfront for a single person's dining footprint over a few days is completely unreasonable and shows a lack of guest-centric hospitality. The beach situation is a major letdown. Swimming is restricted to a tiny, boxed-in area of roughly 30x30 meters marked by red warning signs. Anything beyond that is deemed unsafe, meaning you essentially do not have a functional or enjoyable beach to swim in. If you are coming to Seychelles for the pristine, open Indian Ocean swimming experience, this hotel completely misses the mark. For the price paid, the food options are extremely limited, repetitive, and poor in quality. The value proposition simply does not exist here. When you pay high-end luxury prices, you expect VIP treatment and smooth operations. Instead, this hotel offers subpar service, restrictive safety hazards masquerading as a beach, and high cash-hold policies. Save your money and book elsewhere in Seychelles, there are far better properties that actually respect their guests and their wallets.
Our trip was fantastic. Avani + Barbarons is a fantastic property. Staff is extremely hospitable, accommodating and cheerful. Thanks to DInesh, Dames & Pushpa. Housekeeping is excellent and guests do not have to call as they reach out regularly to check if anything needed. The food and drinks are very good at Pti Bazar and Barbarons. The drink Illusion at Lagoon Bar was very good. PTI Bazar's Creole and Indian night dinner was awesome, though recommend they include more (1-2) vegetarian main course dishes as options. Since it is a coastal area more sea food is welcome :) Overall an amazing place for holidays. The beach and the Ocean view is superb.
Beautiful location.uiet ,away from city ,relaxed holiday we had ,food was good and good staff
The location is great. The food is mouthwatering… the best pool ever. Staffs with very nice attitude. This is our third time… we will definitely come again.
If you are deciding on selecting Avani Barbarons as your stay in Seychelles, then I can say excellent choice! The hospitality Nd facilities of Avani is amazing. The resort is spread across the beach, you can swim or just enjoy the beautiful view. The Pti-Bazar restaurant has dinner buffet with a different theme each night. Drinks in Bar Barons are very good, the food in Seyumai is excellent. There are two pools, one small and the other bigger one.
