Maison Soleil

We've been to Maison Soleil several times and are always very happy with our stay. It was another wonderful time. The location is great, and the accommodation is always nice, with a lot of care and attention to detail. The atmosphere is very welcoming and cozy. Andrew and his team make sure that everything is perfect with their great service and friendly attitude. No matter what issue you might have in this paradise, they are always ready to help and find a solution. This place is always our first choice on this side of the island. It has everything we need to feel comfortable and take care of ourselves. What we especially like is the equipment: a nice outdoor shower, an outdoor kitchen, air conditioning, and a fan for the hot days, plus a small garden with a barbecue – all surrounded by beautiful nature. The location is also amazing. Three beautiful beaches are just a 15-minute walk away, which makes the stay even better. For those who find walking difficult or want to explore more, we recommend having a car. The website answers all your questions. Big thanks to the whole team for their great service.

I'm grateful to TripAdvisor for allowing me to find this great accommodation. I stayed at Maison Soleil for two weeks as I wanted to discover as much as I could about Mahe. Somebody might think I was crazy to stay for two weeks on Mahe but I loved it. I didn't go on any other island as I will be returning to the Seychelles in March to spend three weeks on La Digue, and I will have plenty of time to visit Praslin and all the other little islands. I chose this place as it was affordable, clean and had all the comforts one might need, I didn't care at all about the fact that it was not right on the beach because I was out on excursions every day. I even got lucky with the weather, so if it was raining in the south I would chase the sun in the north of the island. Nearby the guest house there is the beautiful Anse Soleil which is reachable by a short fifteen minute walk. I loved it but the fact that it was always packed with people put me off so I would always go to another beach each day. I arranged through Andrew, the owner, a Creole dinner and it was just fantastic. Andrew is a very nice person, very helpful but never intruding. I also bought some beautiful paintings on silk at his gallery and now they are nicely framed and hanging proudly in my house. This accommodation for me was excellent as my goal was to spend my budget on the excursions rather than a five star hotel. For curiosity just look at what the Four Seasons charges for the night and they are just around the corner. I've been there one day and didn't find the employees to be very nice to the outsiders. They would just tolerate them. The guesthouse also provides you with free internet access but you have to get kind of close to the router as the connection in the room was kind of weak. But, hey we are still in Africa so I can live with that. So to sum it up, if you are looking for luxury and lavish accommodation, this might not be the place for you.
