    Having to wait 3-4 days for clean beach towels.

    Our apartment was beautiful and we loved our quiet but also convenient location. It was walking distance from Anse Forbans beach and Double Tree Hilton hotel. The hotel restaurant is open late until 10 pm and our daughter was able to use their gym for a small fee. WiFi was excellent and we especially liked our big bathroom with an excellent shower!

    I couldn't have expected more in that category.

    I liked that it was clean, comfortable, friendly staff and friendly atmosphere. It was 2 min flat walk to a lovely beach, safe for swimming as it is inside of a reef. It's off from the more busy parts of Mahe so the road didn't have much traffic. Good price.

    We were greeted very friendly. They gave us a refreshing drink. They immediately settled us comfortably in the rooms. The beach is right in front of the house. Incredible beauty, crystal clear water, millions of fish at the first step into the water. Soft and clean sand, green coconut palms, it is difficult to describe in words. You have to see it for real. I highly recommend staying there for at least a week. Within short distances by car you can find many beautiful bays, like this one. It is incredible. you fall into another world.

    Christine was invaluable and hospitable over the whole stay. Our return flight was in the evening, and we were allowed a late checkout without any extra fees. One evening, we had dinner at the hotel; it was very tasty - recommended! If you stay there, a car is practically a must to get around - different beaches, restaurants, etc. Our favorite beach was Anse Royale, 7-8 minutes of driving. Very good restaurants are Lo Brizan, Perri's Grillz, and Le Reduit - all within a 10-15-minute drive distance. For something simpler and inexpensive takeaway (but very tasty nonetheless), Koko Zerm is a good choice, a few minutes walk from the villa.

    There was nothing we didn’t like. A suggestion would be to have a more comfortable seats on the balcony but that is because we were out there morning and night.

    We stayed in “Swan” which is the 2 bedroom villa. It was a beautiful 2 floor apartment. Aircon in both bedrooms 2 bathrooms and a small but functional kitchen with electric stove. Convenient location we had a car and drove all round the island but there is also a bus stop about 100m from gate. You could watch sunrise on the beach with is approx 50mins from apartment. Wonderful staff and hosts extremely helpful and full if local knowledge

    I had a wonderful stay at Captain’s Villa in Seychelles! Christina, the host, was incredibly helpful, kind, and considerate, even accommodating a late check-in at the last minute. She went above and beyond to help with organizing car hire, which made exploring the island so much easier. The villa itself is lovely – affordable, clean, and of excellent quality. It truly felt like a home away from home. I would highly recommend Captain’s Villa to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay in Seychelles. I’ll definitely be coming back

    In the late evening we faced abscence of hot water from time to time, but I suppose that it actually not a problem or some kind of an issue. Just "seychelles water heating feature" :-) cuase we actually faced it almost in all apartments where we have lived on Mahe

    Good location for those who prefer calm relaxing vacation (the car is absolutely needed, there is nothing exept one take-away and small shop accessable by foot) Very beautifull territory - the yard with lot's of flowers, very tiny and fresh The apartments itself are equipped with everything you will need within your stay Beautiful Anse Forbans beach just in front of the building, where you will be almost lonely most of the time :-)

    It is really nothing not to like about as all was fine.

    Everything was just great: Christine is a very good and kind host, the room was great and very clean, airco worked perfect, the terrace just lovely, breakfast delicious, not too much, but definetely enough. Beach just across the street and it felt like a private beach as nobody was there. The transfer to the airport also great and cheaper than what we paid when getting to our (previous) hotel.

    Not applicable.

    This was our second stay at Captain's Villa, this time as a group of 4 in one of the self-catering apartments. Everything was lovely and clean, the beds comfortable and we enjoyed the privacy of the apartment. The manager Christine was so kind, personable and helpful. The restaurant is not open every evening but on one of the evenings we had a great fish supper there. Captain's Villa is an excellent place to stay and is really good value. The beach opposite was great for swimming and snorkelling whilst we were there. Highly recommend!

    Nothing not to like. Keep in mind it’s a bit further away from the city and restaurants and shops close by close around 5-6.

    Great location next to the beach, close to nature and a few great restaurants. Christine was very kind and we got incredible local fresh juices and fruit everyday.

    We really enjoyed our stay at the villa. Everyone was super nice, especially Chris who really took an interest to make us feel welcome and gave some tips on what to do, she helped us rent a car and also with transfers, she was lovely. Breakfast was good, with fresh fruits, bread, butter, jam, eggs and cheese. Usually they serve dinner, we ate dinner our first night and we enjoyed that as well. The location is quite nice, the beach is really beautiful, even though it's not that popular.

    Paradise. The Villa is awesome, clean, bright, in the middle of an amazing green garden with stunning flowers. Great location, 5 minutes walking distance to the best beach ever. Christine has been so helpful, cleaver and smiling all the time. When they get fresh fish directly from the beach, Christine prepare unforgettable dinners for her guests. I left a piece of my heart there.

    Absolutely wonderful place, I recommend it to anyone who wants to have a peaceful and pleasant holiday. We had a room with terrace, very cozy, clean and comfortable, spacious bathroom. Great breakfast, local fruits are fantastic! Wonderful beach across the street, very nice local restaurant with delicious pan fried fish and coconut ice-cream, just a few steps from the Villa. There is also a small store with drinks nearby. At the Villa no mosquitos, but you can encounter them at the beach, so be prepared. We have seen a giant turtle in the neighbourhood! Cristine and Flo are extremely friendly and helpful, thank you so much for making our stay unforgettable!

    To leave

    We spent the  two first  weeks of November at Captains Willa. All together we were fourteen persons, 6 children between 2 and 12 years old, their parents and grandparents. We had a fantastic time. Captains Villa offered a very god accommodation, good service and pleasant treatment. They made two very good dinners for us. Many thanks to Christine and your staff. The beautiful surroundings with Anse Forbans just 30 meters away were perfect for us. The beach offered good snorkelling, fun playing in the waves and sometimes just calm water. Within 5 minutes’ walk there was a small shop, a bar and a café that served excellent food.
