Seychelles The Seychelles

This place is truly beautiful, and my rating of 4 stars is entirely due to the breathtaking nature.
If it weren’t for the stunning island, this would have easily been a 3.

Now, let me explain why:

Service

I’m not sure if all the guests giving 5-star reviews are familiar with Club Med standards, because anyone who knows Club Med would notice that Seychelles simply doesn’t measure up.
Normally, Club Med GO’s are so warm and friendly that you feel like you’ve made friends after just a few encounters. Here, however, service was poor, to say the least.
Around 85% of the staff made us feel like they didn’t even want to talk to us. They provided the service, but without any warmth — often with unpleasant expressions. It was genuinely disappointing and affected my experience.
Even at the bar, while a few bartenders were lovely, most wouldn’t even look at me when I spoke. I’m generally a very friendly person, but it became hard to keep smiling when it was clear they simply didn’t care.

Facilities

The potential here is huge — the location and rooms are wonderful — but the attention to detail is completely missing.
Mini-bars and snacks weren’t refilled even after requests, the bed sheets didn’t feel properly clean, the outdoor sofa had stains, and the wardrobe doors were torn. This is supposed to be a 5-star premium Club Med, yet it felt neglected.
The buggy service was the worst part — we often waited up to 30 minutes in the sun with small children, and no one seemed to care or apologize.

Food

For a 4-star resort, the food would be considered fine, but for Club Med? Far below expectations.
There were maybe two nights when we truly enjoyed our meals, but most of the time, we weren’t impressed.
The staff at the main restaurant seemed completely unmotivated. The tables around us stayed dirty for too long, attracting birds — I even had one nearly fly into my face because of it. It really impacted our experience.

What did work

🌴 The island — absolutely stunning, a true gem of nature.

🐠 The day trip we took with the kids was excellent. The staff there were amazing — though I’m not sure they were actually part of Club Med.

🍽️ Reef Restaurant — wonderful service, kind and attentive staff. You could really feel the difference.

👶 Kids pool — very nice and enjoyable, though it could use a fresh coat of paint.

Overall

We had a lovely trip because we focused on the beauty of the island and chose to overlook the negatives.
But let’s be honest — this is not Club Med quality, not even close.
It’s such a shame, because the potential is there. The management urgently needs to step in, especially when it comes to service.

We really enjoyed our stay in Club Med Seychelles. It is an absolute paradise! The resort perfectly blends luxury and nature , from its stunning turquoise waters and beaches to the lush tropical landscapes all around.

The food is delicious, although if you still for more than a week you might would like more diversity.
There’s a wonderful mix of relaxation and adventure with activities like snorkeling, kayak , sailing, and yoga overlooking the ocean. It’s the perfect destination for anyone looking to relax, explore, and experience the beauty of the Seychelles in comfort.

What really made the experience unforgettable though was the staff. We also participated a lot of sea activities. The monitors are so nice, always cheerful, attentive, and genuinely caring.
