Seychelles

Postby herodotus » Tue Mar 08, 2011 2:21 pm

Hi all, does anyone know the name of a small place to stay on Mahe Island in the Seychelles. I'm planning to take the wifey there this spring. I am not interested in island-hopping or blowing a small fortune on a week's accommodation. We just want something simple (shower, toilet, bed, fan) that's clean and not too far from the beach. A villa (by which I mean Mexican-style, not Maldives-style) on the beach would be great. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

No; but the Seychelles is a great place to visit!

One of the few "do overs" in my life would be to go to the Seychelles for my honeymoon instead of Antigua.

What didn't you like about Antigua?

Don't get me wrong - Antigua was great. But I was talking about something a little more exotic & out of the way.

no no no. I have been to ALL the islands on the Seychelles and you don't want to stay on the main island. I would strongly suggest La Digue

I had a blast there. It's kind of pricey compared for example with most SE Asian exotic destinations, but overall, great.
