Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa

Good but the price is expensive for shuttle, not worth the money !

This resort is beautiful; it offers 5 different hiking trails and a host of water sports. The service was generally good with some room for improvement. Buggy availability was limited at times and full board lunch diversity was disappointing for the significant premium paid. For others visiting, I would highly advise half-board, it appeared most others at the resort opted for this choice. After having visited the Maldives previously where there was organised entertainment every evening, it was disappointing that in all 11 days of my stay, there was only one evening where there was some form of entertainment. At times, I found the stay unenlightening with most guests returning to their rooms in the early evening as there was nothing to do really. Entertainment until midnight has been the norm in other comparable resorts I have been to. Other unfortunate surprises were nickel and diming at every turn, for example, I had enquired about dressing gowns and slippers which should be standard and was told these were chargeable as were beach bags. Additionally, I found it a bit ridiculous that excursions were chargeable for those who joined the boat ride but didn’t partake in activity. There were limited non-alcoholic drinks for purchase and the ones I did try were soft drinks repurposed as mocktails. I found the dinners good albeit with less variety than you’d hope for. I wanted to give my child avocados and these were not available in the resort - not a big deal but for the price paid - you’d think there’d be a bit more variety in the fruit and vegetables imported into the resort. Staff were very busy and it’s a shame they had to be tracked down at times to provide beach towels or sometimes forgot. Not really a 5 star service. All in all, it was a good trip to a beautiful location but I don’t think I will be returning to this specific resort.

Amazing hotel. The staff are so great, they all go that extra mile. From the manager, Marcus, Labriz have young staff. We have made friends with some of them, always ready to help and ever so friendly. We got in earlier than expected as we took the 10am ferry, and was treated to a lovely array of pastries and juice whilst waiting for our room. There are many restaurants to choose from, however ensure you book early as they are very popular and busy. Dauban is the one where we spent most of our stay, great breakfast and the sri lankan chef makes the best omelette. Great choice for breakfast. Dinner at Dauban is themed and the food was good. I would recommend Labriz as a five star hotel with a six star service. Keep it up Marcus and crew , will be back soon.

I recently stayed with my family at the Hilton Labriz in Seychelles and overall had a very enjoyable vacation, awarding it 4 out of 5 stars. There were several standout employees whose exceptional efforts enhanced our experience. Mr. Hesham, Ms. Diane, and Ms. Caroline from the F&B team provided exceptional service, as did our dedicated housekeeper, Mr. Nagesh, who ensured our villa was immaculate every day. Mr. Clifford, the cheerful buggy driver, always brightened our day, and Ms. Joberta from the reception was incredibly helpful during our departure. One of the highlights of our stay was our accommodation. We opted for a beach villa with a pool, which was spacious and beautifully decorated. However, one drawback was the beach itself. While visually stunning, it was not conducive to swimming due to its shallow depth and numerous reefs and rocks. The absence of a pier or easy access to deeper waters was disappointing. Additionally, I must mention the high prices of the hotel's boat transfers, which were EUR 225 per person (prices without VAT) plus EUR 170 for the taxi service. This, along with the inflated prices for boat excursions and meals not included in the hotel package, seemed excessive. The Kids Club was also disappointingly quiet, with few or no children in attendance, leading to boredom for our four-year-old son after just a couple of days. Furthermore, some aspects of the poolside service fell short of expectations. The poolside mattresses often had stains, and obtaining assistance with setting up umbrellas or ordering refreshments required seeking out staff rather than them proactively attending to guests (water was offered for self service). There was also a scarcity of umbrellas, and refreshing treats were not offered without request. Despite these shortcomings, our overall experience was positive, thanks to the dedicated staff and the stunning accommodation and scenery.

Excellent family experience. We were in a beach front villa 232 and the proximity to the Durban restaurant, pool a s beach were excellent. The kids club was just excellent. At the beginning of the week our children were a bit reluctant to join in without us but by the end they had made friends. Hazel in particular in the kids club made it for us taking us on a family hike to see the island. The trial dive in the pool for the kids was another highlight. I felt like I had to settle in to the relaxedness of this holiday as we don’t normally do beach holidays like this and at the beginning of the 7 nights I felt a little trapped as you are 45 mins by boat from the main island and the organised trips are an absolute rip off. A day long boat trip for a family with others on the boat c. £1k+!!!! It’s a shame that La Belle Tortue no longer allow non residents on their trips as snorkelling for €200 for a family for 2 hours seems much more reasonable. Although the bikes are badly maintained we loved being able to get bikes in the morning to cycle around. Our kids loved the freedom and safety. This is a very family orientated place - not sure how I would have felt if we had gone for a couples romantic break - it isn’t that but that suited us. We saw a number of families with tiny new born babies but keep in mind you are on a remote island with a small medical centre. I guess they would arrange a helicopter if there was a major problem but it’s worth thinking through how comfortable you would feel about that. Couple of top tips; Have half board at a minimum - the food is very good and there is no where else to eat other than the hotels restaurants Dress kids in swim suits with arms - to avoid getting burnt and bring pool toys with you Food and drinks off plan are vvvv expensive including icecreams Get your taxi driver on your transfer to stop at a supermarket. Stock up there is absolutely no where to buy on the island other than restaurants and the mini bar (half bottle of vodka over £100+) Take absolutely everything you need including all medicines. We were bitten quite badly and would have loved some antihistamines I worried a lot about the weather forecast but we only had rain during the night The sea crossing was very rough on our way out. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful with sick bags etc but sit at the back of the boat downstairs as it’s cooler and less rough or sit upstairs outside where you can see the horizon. Pack sea sickness tablets

We stayed at the Hilton Labriz with 5yo and 11yo daugthers. Kids club was more apropriate for the little one, as there wasn't much going on for older children. I summarised my top 3 pros and cons below: Pros 1. Nice rooms, we had the beach front villa with a great pool. Amazing housee keeping by Gaurav, he was very helpful. 2. Scuba diving around the island was better than expected, we saw tourtles, douphins, reef sharks and plenty of fish. 3. Island is unspoiled and very beautiful Cons 1. Price for the transfer and drinks is incredibly high. Transfers twice a day is very limited - we had take a 8.30am boat transfer even though our flight is only at 5pm. Check if you are ok with prices and time of transfers before you book flights and this hotel. 2. The beach is very shallow, making it difficult to swim. The water is beutiful and warm though. There is no pier to enable snorkling on the outter reef, where most of sealife is... this is a real shame in my opinion. 3. Although there was a good variety of food buffet restaurant, food normally lacked flavour. 

The Hilton Labriz is located along one side of Silhouette Island, consisting of the jetty at one end, and ending with the spa at the other end. We needed a buggy to get anywhere as we weren’t fit enough to use the bicycles- there was a bit of hanging about waiting for the buggies - so a big recommendation would be to request a beach front villa nearer the restaurant as then the rest of the facilities are within walking distance. We cannot comment on the swimming as the water was very rough by our room and our friends who did swim further down said there was quite a current - so a bit disappointing- the pool was rather busy with families. The beach at low tide was gorgeous so lovely walks - there was a fun beach bar for drinks and snack lunches. choice of restaurants, Japanese, Chinese and Italian, as well as the buffet - the best in our opinion was the Chinese - the Italian was very disappointing unfortunately. We loved the breakfasts. Although we probably wouldn’t go back, the staff were all delightful and there was probably more to do than we found….the wrong hotel for me, being post knee op…so if you’re fit and energetic I’m sure the Hilton would offer more…..

This resort is truly a paradise cocooned in the pristine blue waters of Seychelles. We stayed there for our honeymoon in December and needless to say this was one of the best hotels we have stayed in! The staff has been extremely helpful and responsive ever since we booked the place and made sure our honeymoon was memorable. The trip to the hotel is through a ferry which takes less than an hour and is an experience in itself. The waterfront pool villas will surely transport to a reality from which it will be hard to come back to your regular life. The villa opens to the beach and you can see some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets all while walking on the smooth sand with no signs of habitation for miles and miles. The villas come with bicycles that can be used to tour the resort and come in handy while visiting the 4-5 restaurants they have on site each specializing in a different cuisine. We also booked ourselves a private dinner in our villa and the food was simply delicious. We will most definitely be back to this paradise on earth.
