Six Senses Zil Pasyon

Honestly, this experience was one of a kind! Although the arrival was surreal via our private Helicopter ride; yet, something was missing during my stay! You’ll understand soon. The resort is lovely and not old enough, around seven years ago, and located on a very awesome Island called Felicity. Most of the staff are newly recruited, and honestly, most of them are the kindest people. However, I read the news later on and discovered what happened on that island a few months ago, and that was horrible!! Then I knew what it was missing: just a touch of renovation to revive the place, maybe new designs, events, food, etc. Otherwise, I would say that I had a below-normal experience in my first Six Senses Chain experience, especially since the previous resot was Anantara Maia, which was an unforgettable one. Finally, the Spa experience was the only activity I recommend, and it was entertaining and energetic. I appreciate your understanding. I hope that my reviews will help you to choose the right place!

This is a beautiful property with world-class customer service. Our concierge, Sanjay, was on top of every detail, and saw to it that we had a fantastic experience. We were set to renew our vows on the beach, and when monsoonal weather threatened to cancel our plans, Sanjay and team figured out a great alternative plan, which we fortunately did not need. We loved and would recommend the signature suite, which was beautiful. The helicopter ride from the property to the airport on the main island was a great way to conclude our stay! We would love to stay here again!

Sadly the Six Senses Zil Pasyon fails to meet expectations by quite some margin. Very good in places but very lacking in others - in particular service (think Caribbean) and F&B. Well below the standards of say Ziggy Bay (excellent service and F&B) or Four Seasons at Desroche who really nailed it. You wait 15 minutes for a menu. Then over 30 minutes for a simple main course (pizza, fish and chips) and when it comes it’s very disappointing. Smallest fish and chips I have had for a long time, and pizza was congealed cheese! That was lunch on day 1. Tried again in the evening and service likewise terrible and therefore did not eat in restaurant again. Three nights of room service! Did have a lunch Caesar salad - Tesco do better. Initially no croutons or Parmesan- sent back - and came out with soft croutons and grated cheese. Sent back and did not easy lunch that day. Staff disdainful. Some attitude there. Breakfast however was fine/good. Some of it hidden in a wine cellar but once you worked it out it was fine. On the plus side, our villa was great, good pool and views, the spa is excellent and we also were able to see and swim with whale sharks. An excellent skipper and new (very stable) boat for that. Getting to the resort easy via heli (20 mins, but bags had to go separately as 325kg weight limit for 4 people and bags. Extra cost for this both ways), and some good snorkelling around the resort, although plenty of day trippers also come in boats and park up there (so no feeling of being remote etc). So you can snorkel in the same spot for 10% of the cost! Also some jellyfish (blue bottles) but they do warn you about them. Ultimately if you are paying over Euro 2000 a night for a room, you want good quality service and good. F&B prices circa 30% above Four Seasons but quality well below, and that spoiled it for us.

Awesome stay. Villas are beautiful if a bit outdated. Brillianty enthusiastic butler Mira is a delight to deal with. Breakfast spread is delicious and Chef Josu manage a different cuisine evening. Mind you, it’s a private island with public beaches.

A wonderful hotel on a private island. Excellent accommodation and service. Only accessible by helicopter, very good cuisine. Various beaches, all very private. Our GEM Vladimir made our stay a special pleasure. Always helpful and cheerful
