laïla, A Marriott Tribute Portfolio Resort

Wonderful experience with the staff from reception (Yanik etc), restaurant (Nimal, Mercia, Yanik, Tina, Ashia). Great people. The ambiance is nature, the hotel is exceptionally clean. It's quiet expensive but there is great value for money here.

We were came for honeymoon purpose but we had terrible experience the room cleaners is so bad restaurant food is so bad

We had a nice Stay, but would recommend only few days here. The location is not especially good, directly in front of the main very busy coastal road and you have to cross this road to reach the nearby beaches! Staff is mainly friendly and helpful especially the Breakfast and reception Teams, less the Pool and bar keeper where you have to ask many times to get fresh towels if there are any!! By arriving the room smells musty and also during our stay. Breakfast and teatime are appreciated and tasty. The Pool is huge and nice but surrounded with rooms, restaurants and bars, so always people around.

We returned to Hotel Laila for the second consecutive year, during the same period. Our first stay was excellent, which made us choose the same hotel again—even though Seychelles offers so many amazing alternatives. This time, I made sure not to miss writing a review, especially since I can now speak about the hotel’s evolution—and what an evolution it has been! The food has gone from good and varied to truly outstanding. There are many excellent dishes, and the breakfast experience is now even more flexible. For example, we asked for avocado one morning, and although it wasn’t part of the buffet, the staff made a special effort to provide it—which we really appreciated. One of the biggest highlights remains the staff. We were pleasantly surprised to see many familiar faces, and even more so that they recognized us from last year. Their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made a huge difference to our stay. Special thanks to Nimal and Bacari, but truly, the entire team was exceptional. The hotel also has a small but very well-maintained and stylish gym, with everything you might need—cold water, fresh fruit, and clean towels. Cafe Kreol, the beachfront restaurant, has improved significantly since last year. With its great location and delicious food, it’s definitely worth visiting whether you’re staying at the hotel or not. Anse Royal beach is one of the most beautiful and family-friendly beaches in Seychelles. Thanks to the coral reef offshore, the water is calm, shallow, and crystal clear—perfect for children and very relaxing for parents. On our last evening, we were treated to a private dinner on one of the hotel’s terraces, organized by the manager (whom we thank again for everything). With a dedicated chef and waiter, excellent food, and perfectly chosen wine, it was a truly special experience. This time, we focused more on relaxing and only took a one-day trip to La Digue, which I will review separately. Overall, our experience at Hotel Laila remains one of the most enjoyable of all our travels. We highly recommend it and will definitely return on our next trip to Seychelles.

This is an excellent hotel on Mahe Island. Hotel is under Marriott umbrella holding all the standards. Located quite close to the airport, fantastic beach just cross the street. The room was specious, good breakfast and very good restaurant on the beach, Kafe Kreol Cafe & Restaurant. Sun beds and umbrellas, kayaks, paddle boards available free of charge for hotel guests. Hotel also organizes a trip to Victoria twice a week. Worth taking considering reasonable price and convenience. Staff very nice, supportive and attentive. Strongly recommend!
