It's a very new hotel and every aspect was clean and well-styled. Lots of lush vegetation throughout the hotel made it feel tropical and luxurious. It's not in the super touristy area which we liked a lot; it was a simple walk across the road to get to the beach and very convenient having the 24 hour front desk given our flights got in very late at night/early in the morning.

The drinks in the hotel were excessively priced; we ordered 2 virgin pina coladas by the pool which were made with boxed pineapple juice (not fresh) and boxed coconut cream and it cost USD28. I might be fine paying that amount for the alcoholic version while on vacation, but that felt like too much for mixing 2 juices together.

The hotel is new, recently open and so it is beautiful, clean, the staff is wonderful in the main building as in the Kafe Kreol (on the beach). The Kafe Kreol is very nice, the Anse Royal beach is very beautiful so it’s a nice combination between a new beautiful hotel and a gorgeous beach. It’s very clean, comfortable and provides everything one need for a vacation.

The main issue for us was that the beach is across an intense circulated road, so the hotel is not on the beach. And another mention is that the price of the food (in the main restaurant and on the beach) is quite high comparing with other hotels & resorts in Seychelles. We’ve been 5 time on this destination, but never had such high prices for the same dish. And we’ve been in larger hotels & resorts around the islands (all the previous hotels were directly on the beach). So a sincerely advice for the Management is to review the food prices.

Lots of sockets next to mirrors in the room which is always a simple joy :) Room was really big, lovely high ceilings so felt super airy. Comfy beds and a lovely terrace (we had a ground floor pool view room). Complimentary large bottles of water daily. Love the plants and greenery all around the hotel. The sunbeds at the pool were very comfy. Breakfast was great. Lots of choice and lovely coffee. Lovely staff. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Good water sports equipment at the beach. The beach is really nice. The hotel has just opened so everything is very fresh and new.

Nothing major, but a few things that would have been helpful… No hanging rack on the balcony so no where to hang wet swimwear/clothes. Could do with a Luggage rack for 2nd case. we were only there 2 nights so living out our suitcases rather than completely unpacking so it meant we had to have them open on the floor. Few little things missing that could have made it nicer - there are slippers but no robes. There is shampoo and shower gel but no conditioner. The beach bar has lovely day beds but there is no cushion on the back rest so they weren’t very comfy unless you were lying flat. We didn’t eat in the main restaurant for dinner as it was too expensive for our budget. (approx £65 each for a set menu dinner). But the beach restaurant was lovely and a great cheaper alternative.

+nice rooms, all amenities available +brandnew hotel +very nice colours and decor +professional, kind and helpful staff +wonderful breakfast, all you need (even to go on the day of departure- thank you dorothy) +kafe kreol is very nice +spa massages are well done (thank you grace) +beautiful beach in front, with towels&sun beds

-not always warm water -street in front(the hotel needs a footbridge from the 1st floor to the beach) -boutiques not finished yet

Excellent breakfast choices

Nothing

Absolutely everything it was perfect, all the stuff are so polite, kind and always ready to help you, specially Bertrand, he explained how and where to go for our day!

The hotel is absolutely clean and with a good design interior, the room are bigs and comfortable

Well, I will start that I’m a person that see the positive things first , so for me , my wife and the child this hotel is absolutely a bargain in terms of every thing and I mean , here you have a little and some staff a lot of every thing So much vegetation all over the hotel is absolutely 5* star decoration , literally you don’t have to go to the jungle, you feel like in mini jungle when you there, only with so much bonuses around, amazing pool for adults and children , kitchen with Italian chef, beach 60 seconds from the hotel with its own restaurant and all you need to have good swim on beautiful beach, sun beds, even double beds under the palms , so much attention to details is absolutely enjoyable to be there , all the hotel is new and my personal opinion is UNDERRATED , just bargain in Seychelles Thank you Laila hotel for just superb stay👍🏻

The only thing what I would improve there, is when a lot of guests come at the same time to breakfast, they don’t catch up so fast to refill all the good food and fruits there , food is amazing

It was very clean and we enjoyed the massage from the Spa.

The breakfast, too poor, no dessert there and not so many products. Also, the waiters from Kreol restaurant a little bit too bored.

The hotel is brand new with comfortable rooms and beautiful pool area. The interior is beautiful and looks the same as on the photos and location is great. It's right opposite of the cafe Kreol where we spent a lot of time and the beach is the most beautiful on Mahe island!!! The presidential suite has an amazing terrace with outdoor bathroom and pool - loved it! After visiting other parts of the island I can definitely say it's totally worth of staying in this hotel as we loved this location the most.

For the 5 star hotel I wish there were more toiletries provided, such as tooth brushes, shower cap, hair conditioner and such. Also I was surprised that the mini bar was only upon request and for additional charge, the provided variety was also very simple - this could be improved. And lastly a good buffet option was missing - there was a set menu for dinner, and the food was quite good, however it would be better to have more variety and options.

I recently stayed at Laila Seychelles, and I can confidently say it was one of the best vacation stays I’ve ever had. I had chosen this beautiful resort to propose to my fiancée, and the team at Laila went above and beyond to make the moment incredibly special. From the moment I reached out to them with my plans, they were incredibly supportive, helping me organise every little detail. The staff helped set up the perfect spot for the proposal, complete with flowers, champagne and personalised touches that made it feel magical. The level of care and attention to detail was truly exceptional. The team made sure the entire experience was seamless and stress-free, allowing us to enjoy every moment. Special thanks to Stefania and Polina for the help. Beyond the proposal, the rest of our stay was equally wonderful. The rooms are clean/today and offer amazing views. The food is very good particularly at Kafe Kreol Cafe & Restaurant which is a great beach restaurant that forms part of the hotel. I can't thank the staff enough for making our stay so special, and we can't wait to return to celebrate more milestones at Laila Seychelles. If you're looking for a place that combines lovely beaches and a great secluded hotel resort and personalised service, this is the spot! Highly recommend.

There is a petrol station at the entrance road to the hotel which is busy and can be noisy in the late evenings. The hotel resort is in the South of the island and there is not much else going on in the immediate local area. Taxis or a rented car will be needed if venturing to other parts of the island.
