I went to spend the Christmas holidays. The hotel is very very ancient. There were bugs in the rooms and the facilites were also in a bad state. Due to the bad state of the floor I slipped and broke my head. At night there was nobody in reception, everything you see in booking is fake or old. Also it's disgusting to find bugs in your food. I don't recommend this hotel at all, it's dangerous.

Excellent resort, price good food good! If we compare price with other amazing places I think the compromise is more than excellent! Bar serve good and different kinds of cocktails, the bar tender have nice actitud also duty manager during dinner pass to asking how is all. Pool is ok nice beach close to the rooms! If you looking for something no expansive and nice that is the right place for you!

Stayed in this hotel in march 2017. The hotel itself is a bit dated and needs some work but the location is amazing. The beach offers amazing snorkelling which really was the highlight of the trip. The views from the room were really good also.

Location-ok Infrastructure- poor Service- worst Hotel is in dilapidated condition with no fans in the lobby working. Receptionist is so arrogant that they will make you feel like you are the servants. The so proclaimed WiFi is only available in the lobby area and not in the room. Even to get cutlery delivered to the room, service charges are to be paid. Totally overpriced. Never ever go here!

We came to this hotel for having lunch. As soon as we arrived we noticed that the hotel is in a very poor condition and dirt was everywhere. At the table the waiter was really unfriendly and literally threw the menu on our table. The table was uber dirty and our hands sticked to the menu bc it was like glew. Not a nice place to go in terms of service and environmental condition. Tough a really nice view.

Having our wedding here 16 years ago and visiting a few times since, we always make an effort to at least pop in for drinks when we are in the Seychelles. This year it was no exception. The setting is absolutely beautiful and for me the beach is one of the prettiest you can visit on Mahe. The drink prices are reasonable and nothing can beat sitting in the bar overlooking the sea, with hundreds of fishes swimming underneath. We were served by Shristi, who was so welcoming and looked after us during our visit. She really is a gem! I always say, that the staff make a place, smile does not cost anything but can brighten your day and that is what Shristi did for us.

The location of the room was explendid. One of the best beaches I had ever been. However on site says that is it private for guests, but it is not. Service is OK and almost all employers are very friendly, but management is not good, should be improved. We try to have a snacj at 17H00 and nothing available, We had dinner included and in one of the nights some of the menu options had already sold out, with the hotel amost empty... Next time if we stay we try to manage better the meals, probably in Beau Valon that is 5 minutes from car, and with good options.

Scanning through numerous reviews we've got the message: Sunset Beach Hotel is a neglected, unfriendly and even dirty place. Stay away at all cost! Doing our own research though shown that Sunshine Beach Hotel was by far the best option during the month of August if you are a keen snorkeler. And our main purpose visiting the Seychelles was after all to snorkel. Thus a difficult position to be in...shall we go for a much snazzier hotel or should we go for the best located hotel conductive to snorkeling even if we have been warned that it is in a severe state of degradation? We are addicted to snorkeling so we have decided on the latter...so off we went. What an unexpected surprise! We arrived late evening (10:00PM) and was greeted by a friendly guy at reception. He efficiently checked us in and taking us to our lovely spacious sea view Junior Suite no. 21. The bed was beautifully decorated with tropical flowers and everything including the air conditioner was in perfect working condition. The furniture were not brand new but at the same time certainly not shabby at all. The room was clean and the bed linen of high quality. The bathroom was very spacious and had an enormous oval bath tub in. Certainly nothing to complain about. Okay, perhaps I could mentioned that the water pressure was sometimes a bit low. Waking up the next morning confirmed that the hotel had a top location with surely one of the most attractive beaches on Mahe Island. Believe me, we have made a full two day tour visiting most of Mahe's beaches. The only beach we would have exchanged our SBH-beach for would have been Port Launay. The swimming pool was cleaned every morning and was absolutely aesthetically beautiful. Yes, there have been some birds around in the open air dining room during breakfast but they were certainly not that great a nuisance. Basically it was usually only one pair of mynahs and two or three very small little doves that were around. According to us they were actually welcome as they were mostly hopping around on the floor. It is quite a mystery that the owners have neglected the grass roofs of the hotel. They were a sore eye but the good news is that the main building's roof has already been decked out with a brand new roof. I believe that the rest of the roofs shall soon have their turn. The breakfast every morning was more than meeting our expectations (certainly not the lavish breakfast buffets you may expect at the UAE's 5 star hotels) but what do you really need more than eggs/omelets, bacon, cold cuts, warm oats, muesli, yoghurt, fresh fruit and so forth and to top it all the staff was really very friendly. I believe that SBH deserve a second chance and I am surely going to be one of the returning guests when we visit the Seychelles again.

One of the best snorkel spots. Thousands of fish hang around the columns near the hotel restaurant deck. If you want to see something truly amazing, let someone drop a few bread crumbs from the deck while you snorkel - nothing like it in Seychelles.

Hotel is a bit dated however the staff are fantastic, the rooms are clean and comfortable and the food is delicious. Sunset beach has the best snorkelling on the island, much better than the marine park. Would definitely stay again.
