About the hotel

Nestled in a 3-kilometre beach of the finest coral sand, surrounded by tropical palm trees and the warm Indian Ocean, the hotel is situated 5 km from Victoria, the capital of the Seychelles. Beau Vallon Bay is the most popular beach area on the main island of Mahé. The hotel is 15 km away from the international airport. It has 130 lift accessible guestrooms, the majority of which feature lovely sea views. Guests can discover the stars at the rooftop observatory founded in cooperation with the Laupheim Observatory or enjoy a tasty dinner at the on-site restaurant. A regular programme of entertainment includes local bands in a friendly and informal atmosphere. Motorised and non-motorised water sports are also available and table tennis facilities are provided for guests who prefer to stay dry.

Good Service Amidst Renovation Challenges We recently stayed at the hotel and had a mixed experience due to some unforeseen circumstances, but we still appreciated the efforts of the hotel staff to make our stay as comfortable as possible. When we arrived, we had booked an oceanfront room with two twin beds through Expedia. Unfortunately, the hotel was undergoing renovations, and none of the oceanfront twin rooms were available. In fact, there were no twin rooms available at all. As a result, we were given a partial ocean view room with one bed, and a movable bed was added to the already tight space, which made the room feel quite cramped. That said, the staff at the hotel were genuinely attentive and did their best to resolve the situation. Chamara, the hotel manager, offered us complimentary breakfast for most of our stay as a gesture of goodwill. Additionally, Sakura, who was at the front desk, was particularly helpful and understanding. She listened to our concerns and helped coordinate our room move. On the last day of our trip, we were finally moved to an oceanfront room, albeit a single bedroom, which was a great way to end our stay. While our room situation was less than ideal, the service provided by the staff made a significant difference, and we are grateful for their efforts. If you are planning to stay here during the renovation period, just be aware that room availability may not be as expected.

Great Value but Not Luxurious

Coral Strand is one of the only hotels that truly is on the beach. The hotel in general needs updating badly but the amenities served their purpose fine. We asked for well-blended piña coladas, but the staff did not understand how tourists prefer their drinks. Mahek restaurant is the best for lamb curry. Find other food elsewhere.
