La Residence

A decent villa right on the beach. There's a beach nearby, but the tide is out in the mornings. It's good for swimming in the evenings. Beautiful ocean view. It's spacious, clean, and quiet. As for the downsides, there are a lot of different insects, but there's a mosquito net over the bed.

I booked this apartment based on other reviews and the location. It was worth the price, and the service and attention were top-notch. The kitchen worked perfectly, and the bed was cozy. We woke up to the sound of birds singing, and there was a huge tree in front of the balcony for them and flying foxes. We stayed there for 21 days, and the first two weeks were perfect. We'd go to the beach in the morning, spend time there, and when we returned, two little kittens would cheerfully greet us. It created a wonderful, warm atmosphere. We played with them and fed them; they were so cute. But after the hotel manager arrived on April 20th, they disappeared without a trace, and my inquiries yielded no results—no one knew, as if they'd never been there. I pray to God they're still alive; I'll attach a photo of them here as proof. Two cute little kittens, a redhead and a tabby... I was very upset. We had become attached to these kittens, and they had never harmed anyone; they had lived there since birth. I'm not downgrading this hotel, but I wouldn't have given them zero points for kicking them out without cause. A male and female cat, their parents, were left behind; they spent a week looking for their own. After that, I don't know. We left on April 27, 2026. Tell your gray-haired boss he's heartless.

I liked the hotel, especially the tent-like bed; I slept without any bugs. Buy the maximum number of bus passes; 4 days and you'll visit all the beaches. Unfortunately, I couldn't download the app. I hitchhiked a couple of times. I traveled around the entire island in 7 days. The hotel beach is like the sea in Anapa: low and high tide, and shallow. Even though it's off-season, there are waves in the ocean, and there are few people. What impressed me was the ocean, the boulders, and the beaches. I cooked at home; they had everything I needed. I took a thermal mug and sandwiches, a cooler in my bag, and I was full all day. The hotel is in the west; if you have a car, you can take the bus, and if you have children, there's a shallow beach nearby. Petite Anse Beach is a definite winner in my personal rating 🔝🥇🏆 Definitely 100 points!!!

We loved the apartment – ​​it had a great sea view and a driveway with a palm tree. It's a 40-minute ride from the airport on bus 6 (check the schedule on the SPTC app; we only had a small suitcase in our carry-on). We also took the same bus to the Victoria terminal to catch the ferry to Praslin. You can also take bus 6 to Anse Royal in 10 minutes, where you can transfer to bus 5A to Anse Intendance. Take bus 6 or 11 to Baie Lazare beach, which takes about 8 minutes. You can also get to Anse Soleil/Petit Anse in the same 8-minute ride, but the bus runs only once a day (bus 6B leaves from the La Residence area at 10:51 AM, and bus 11H returns from Anse Soleil/Petit Anse at 2:40 PM). La Mouche Beach isn't the most pleasant beach in the area around the apartments, but you can catch the sunset. Nearby is the Anchor restaurant and two small grocery stores. There's also an inexpensive takeaway with tables near the beach a little further down from Anchor. Takeaway pizza is also available. The studio has everything you need: a kettle, microwave, refrigerator, gas stove, matches, good dishes (plates, cups, glasses, cutlery), dishwashing liquid, and a bottle of drinking water in the fridge. There was no oil or salt. Furniture includes a table and chairs in the kitchen, armchairs with a table by the TV, and on the large balcony. There's a TV, including one with Channel 1. The only thing missing was a hairdryer. The information folder said it was available upon request with a deposit, but I didn't specify the amount.

The hotel is in a good location, but the service is poor. Room cleaning is not very good.

I never imagined I could find such a great value hotel in the Seychelles. The room was very spacious, with a kitchen and all the necessary amenities. The balcony was enormous; I could comfortably lie on a deck chair and gaze at the sea – it felt wonderful. The bathroom was also very spacious and clean. If I ever come to the Seychelles again, I will definitely stay here again.

The room is quite big. There is a long beach in front of the hotel. There are two restaurants within a ten-minute walk. Someone comes to clean the room every day. You can cook and kitchenware is provided. It is best to rent a car to travel.
