    Apartmán se nachází v blízkosti pláže Beau Vallon, kde lze opravdu plavat. Objeli jsme autem celý ostrov a viděli spoustu nádherných pláží, ale nejlepší koupání bylo v Beau Vallon. Jsou tam restaurace, stánky s ovocem, jemný písek bez korálů, i při odlivu dostatečná hloubka a žádné silné proudy. Přímo pod apartmánem je útes s malinkou pláží, kde jsme ale při odlivu viděli mnoho ježků, takže tam jsme se nekoupali. Nejvíce se mi líbilo, že byl apartmán prostorný a měl velký zastřešený balkón s výhledem na moře a záliv.

    Zlobila mě pračka. Když končila prací cyklus, tak neustále hlásila error a neodstřeďovala. Ale poradila jsem si. Jestě jednu malou poznámku, ikdyž pozemek za plotem s přístupem k moři asi nepatří majitelům apartmánu, bylo by dobré občas ty odpadky za plotem a na přilehlé minipláži uklidit. Kazí to dojem z jinak nádherného místa.

    Les pieds dans l'eau et une vue incroyable !

    La vue est exceptionnelle et l'appartement est très bien équipé, confortable. La piscine est un plus agréable, mais la plage est à 10 mètres de là, donc on a le choix! Petit magasin juste à côté aux prix raisonnables ( on a comparé) et achalandé correctement. Personnel et propriétaires sympathiques.

    Rien, séjour parfait!

    Great location with a few key drawbacks for specific travelers

    The view and the terrace are completely unbeatable for the price. We enjoyed the pool and we went snorkeling right from the unit. However, the current is quite strong, and it's tough to get out there, but we are strong swimmers/divers and managed to get our almost 4-year-old out there with us, but it would be a struggle for young independent swimmers. Location is awesome. Very easy to get to town and a really great location if you want quiet, but want to be close to the action. The host was helpful when we had a few minor issues.

    The big knock here is if you really plan to utilze self catering/kitchen. The knives were extremely dull/tips broken, the second burner is really useless (none of the pots/pans are sized to use both at once), and there is only one set of everything, meaning if you need a second bowl or something, you don't really have it. Seychelles does not have a lot in the way of fresh food, which isn't a knock on the space at all, but a reality and something to think about. If you plan on cooking anything here other than say toast and cereal, you will likely struggle a bit. Even simple meals were difficult. You must boil the water out of the tap to use it, but the burner wouldn't even boil a pot of water. However, if you plan to mainly eat out, this likely won't bet a problem for you. The living area isn't all that comfortable. Not enough space for 2 adults and a young child to comfortably sit in the living room.
