JA Enchanted Island Resort Seychelles

I absolutely loved my stay on this mini island. The view from our villa was out of this world. The antique decor of the room and hotel in general fit the island perfectly. The outdoor bathroom is unique touch and when I wanted blinds fitted for privacy, they did so. All the staff were gems and we were happy to see them whenever we did. Bowen and Jenish were the first we saw and made the check-in process go smoothly, we saw them the most during our stay and they surely will be missed. At the restaurant, we saw Sheryl and David who were both very patient and generous with us. They always were in bubbly moods which was great to see. Whenever we saw Benny, we had exciting conversations and we felt special as he always gave us his time. My wife really enjoyed her dinners here and highly rates the meals she had here in comparison to other 5 star resorts we’ve stayed at. The only small issue was the width of the sockets not being enough for our plug heads. Regardless, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and 100% recommend the resort.

A wonderful hotel in paradise! Throughout our stay we were made to feel welcome by every member of the Ja Enchanted Resort team. From the friendly welcome to the sad farewell. The location was perfect. Even though it's only a small island, it's right in the middle of a marine park with easy access to the surrounding islands. The rooms were perfect for us and we spent many days lounging around our private pool and then wandering down the steps to the beach for long walks and swimming. Paradise! Food and service was excellent with plenty of choice from the al la carte menu as well as theme evenings, from Italian to local Creole dishes. Excellently prepared, presented and served. If you want to explore more of the Seychelles then Ja Enchanted Resort is the perfect location, combining the peace and tranquilty of a small island resort with easy access to Mahe and beyond. For example, we went across to Mahe a few times and took the ferry to Praslin and La Digue. The hotel runs a "shuttle" boat to Mahe at regular times throughout the day, but if these scheduled times are not suitable then the hotel will arrange for a transfer to Mahe at a time better suited to your needs. Overall, a perfect location, fanstatic resort backed by a caring and attentive team for whom nothing is too much trouble. THANKS!

The hotel itself is nestled in a beautiful island, very close to the main island. The villas are well maintained and all within a short walk from the reception and restaurant. The private pool in every pool villa is quite large and kept cool, which is a major advantage. In my personal experience the staff are the hotel’s greatest asset. They’re beyond lovely and extremely generous with their time and dedication, honestly top notch all around. What lets the hotel down a bit is the food, they desperately need better chefs who know what they’re doing. The menus are very limited and whatever is on them is not prepared up to the expected standards of a 5 star hotel, which quite often leaves the other staff in situations they shouldn’t be in. The other issue I faced was the outdoors toilets, especially with the swarms of mosquitoes that will eat you alive the moment you step out. I can live with an outdoors shower (maybe) but the toilet seat needs to be indoors. It’s honestly creepy when you need to go at night or during a storm. As mentioned earlier, the staff did all they can to make up for the shortcomings and I’m truly grateful for that.
