Villa Chez Batista ★★★

Location was amazing ! The beach was beautiful and clean Our second room was perfect, the balcony view was like a dream

Our first room could’ve been better, it definitely needs some renovation, especially the bathroom

location, great food! beautiful room. high ceilings, great view,

last day we asked for late check out, as our flight was late night, and we had whole day ahead us. the lady at reception, said, we have to leave the room in morning, as if someone is coming in. however, the room was not booked at all, we even saw it as free in booking.com. we however could stay in resort, and use the facilitiies. which was great anyway.

location is not good, but beach is super

the beach

The view from the room with the ocean view is awesome. The pool view is also awesome. Breakfast is good for Seychelles.

Furniture is a bit outdated. The service also suffers.

Less vegetarian options

My stay was perfect with the eldest waitress (forget her name) who was an absolutely amazing woman who is very attentive to your request. Also the two Nepal housekeeping who is very keen and nice. Awesome bed deco.

• Reception (ignorance) •Staff from the bar not paying attention to any guest. • Sunday buffet (no a la carte) I did manage to order something but the food was awful I could cry when the food came all that because I insisted of ordering from a la carte as my husband was not well. • Pool was not good for 7 days as receptionist told it will be good in two days • Offer staff some treats and the weird manager come after and take it from them in front of me. (That's absolutely ridiculous as I worked in hotel industry as well and I know how it works)

Rooms very clean, everyone very friendly, beautiful place directly on the beach!

Location of the facility by a beautiful beach. Good breakfasts, courteous staff. Turtles :)

Towels and bedding should be replaced with new ones (old unwashed stains, greyed out), loud all-night party on Saturday from nearby house and loud barking dogs all night

location

management and guest relations

the location is amazing the beach is beautiful and the pool view. staff is very friendly and warm

The garden view rooms could be more renovated and get some more sun lights as it’s dark. The restaurant prices is pretty high compared to other hotels and restaurants in area

Awsome location , great beach , friendly personal.

Breakfast a little poor but tasty ... not such a deal breaker for me and the wifi not so powerfull (works only near the reception)

The location of the hotel is great! Right on a beautiful beach.

The staff is HORRIBLE and they made our experience really not pleasant. Windows in our room were leaking (when it was raining) and there was water all over the floor. The reaction of the staff was dreadful, they acted as it was our fault. Then they lied that the hotel is fully booked and they can't offer us a different room. They tried to repair the windows, but when they realized that it is impossible, they finally gave us a different room. They didn't at least apologize. Even when the manager came in the next morning. They just acted that nothing happened. I WOULD NOT recommend staying here.

Rooms were decently done even if the area size was not very big. AC and fan were not working, were fixed soon. Private beach. Giant tortoises definitely came as a surprise. We enjoyed the silence all day long and the sounds of the waves at night.

1. Shortage of staff made us wait for check-in. 2. You need to carry your luggage to the room by yourself. 3. Being vegetarians, we carried our food. For breakfast, our menu had sandwiches and some sev puri. We needed a knife to chop onions and tomatoes, and plates to serve. After making several requests and promises that we will return them within 30 mins, we struggled to get them. This was when we had it in our sit out area and not inside the rooms. (Knife was avoided because of airline rules and regulations to carry from home).

The staff were very nice and helpful. The view from the rooms we stayed in was beautiful. Great beach, was very quiet and only a few people.

The staff were very friendly. However, no one was available to help at certain times. There needs to be a contact number in case of emergency. Food was quite expensive.

The location is on a nice beach but is very secluded with nothing around the property.

The internet is only available in the lobby area not the rooms The bar shuts very early so no food available after 7pm There is nothing in walking distance of the hotel so once the bar shuts at 8 there is no way to get anything unless you have a car to drive to a shop The whole product is very tired compared to many places I stay these days. I think they should spend some money on the property and upgrade it to more modern standards, provide some amenities and then coupled with the lovely beach it would be great. Currently the lovely beach is about the only selling point. The

The hotel is located right by the beach Anse Takamaka. I got a room number 5 which had some view to the sea and to the lovely palm tree garden from the terrace. There were nice palm tree and fish paintings on the walls of my room. It was very spacious and clean. I loved eating breakfast in the restaurant admiring the turquoise sea and in dinner time around 18:00 in the evening you could see the amazing sunset from the restaurant. The buffet for 450 rupees on Sunday afternoon was really worth eating. They have vegetables, sweet potatoes, cassava, papaya chutney, all kinds of meat and lovely fish on the buffet. There are wonderful beaches nearby. I walked to Baie Lazare and Anse Intendance. Baie Lazare was very still and good for swimming in the amazing turquoise water. Anse Intendance must be on the of most beautiful beaches in the Seychelles but unfortunately that day the waves were too high for swimming. It's a tough walk to Anse Intendance because the road there is first all uphill. There is a nice souvenir shop before Anse Intendance. There are many grocery stores in Quatre Bornes village between Anse Takamaka and Anse Intendance. The nearest shop isn't that far but it's a very steep road there if you go by foot. I came to the hotel by bus and the bus driver left me by the small road that leads to the hotel but there are proper bus stops very near. The bus ticket to anywhere on Mahé costs 7 rupees.

No grocery stores very near. Wifi worked only in the reception and restaurant area.

the beach

not worth the price. very expensive, even for Seychelles, especially the food was only borderline to minimum of standard while being more expensive compared to other really good restaurants, also cleanliness is not the first goal of them

THE BEACH IS the best compared to Kempinski and le meridian or the whole MAhe !!!! The pizza is great. Don't try others promise if you don't want to regret.

The staff serving breakfast are frowning seriously no smile or greeting. The guest normally greets them first poor hospitality.

The beach was beautiful and private. Not so crowded, Shannon, kitchen and cleaning staff were friendly. Cleaning was done regularly and place was clean, clean towels.

Far from everything, supermarkets,food,hospital.

The beach and the area is beautiful. Secluded and private, recommend to visit when in Mahe.

Standard rooms are old and there is absolutely no soundproofing between rooms... Staff is quite rude, they are not paying to much attention to guests. Noisy maintenance work scheduled in breakfast hours, simply annoying.
