Hilton Seychelles Northolme Resort & Spa

My experience at the Hilton Seychelles Northolme Resort & Spa was fantastic. Everything was exceptional. My only regret is that I only stayed for one week. I will definitely return to the that location again. Big thank you to Moses, my Great Kenyan friend: he made my fiancée and me feel so welcome. Moses is excellent at what he does: he makes everybody's experience fondly memorable. Thanks Moses, you are the BEST. Also thanks to Rachel, the Lady from Mauritius; she is always smiling.

My wife and I came to the Seychelles for the second part of our honeymoon and thought the resort was great! As a Hilton Honors Diamond Member, I'm loyal and tend to always stay in Hilton properties and this one did not disappoint. I was able to use points for our stay and with the 5th night free promo, I only had to use points for 4 nights and the 5th night was 0 points. This property was one of the cheaper hilton's in terms of points compared to others on the island and I was very happy we chose it. Without points, it was quite expensive. We stayed for 5 nights during the week of Christmas, but I really would only consider it 4 since our flight was delayed and we only got to the resort at around midnight the first night and just went to sleep. One thing I wasn't too pleased about, but I was aware of when I booked the stay was the mandatory extra charge for Christmas even dinner. It seems like all resorts were doing this and the price was less than the Doubletree on the island, but I don't like having a forced meal. It was a very nice meal, not worth the over 100 Euro price, and I wish it was optional. Arriving so late, the arrival pavilion was dark but we were greeted quickly, given a glass of champagne and brought via golf cart to the reception desk. It took a few minutes of scanning passports and some paperwork and we seemed to wait longer than necessary. If there was one thing I would recommend to improve it would be the check-in process to make it more efficient and quicker. As a Diamond member, and as I had let them know we were there for our honeymoon, I was hoping for an upgraded villa but nothing was available as they were sold out. I didn't know it beforehand but were told this is the smallest Hilton brand property in the world, and I'm guessing that is based on number of rooms since the size of the resort was not small. We still had a nice oceanview villa that had a nice balcony which was quite nice and very spacious with a bathroom expected from a resort. As it was our honeymoon, the room had a nice card welcoming us, with a plate of chocolates and a bottle of champagne which was a very nice touch. Luckily, on our 3rd day some room opened up and we were upgraded and moved into a Pool Villa Room for our last 2 nights of our stay, and all I can say is WOW! The oceanview room is really nice, but it's day and night how amazing and baller the pool villa room is. It was so nice and had beautiful views and the pool was great. After we moved to this room, we basically changed our mind from going to some excursions and just stayed at the resort and used the pool in our room. The resort had a nice pool, and a small beach. The resort is on a hilltop and surrounded by a reef, so the beach is rocky but once in the water it was paradise. Fish can be seen swimming around and it's a very relaxing place to be. One day before we had the pool villa we took a free shuttle from the resort into Victoria and explored the town for a few hours before taking the shuttle back. It was a nice way to see the island and explore the capital. They also offer a free shuttle to one of the bigger beaches down the road. Besides the resort, rooms, beach being great, the Customer Service from everyone working at the resort was even better and definitely worth of a 5-star resort. Everyone we interacted with was very happy and helpful to assist us with anything we needed. We never ate in the fine dining restaurant, but went to the buffet and the bar for food and both were very good. A little pricey but everything on the island is pricey so it was expected. As a diamond member the buffet breakfast was included and this was our favorite meal every day as it had numerous selections, including daily specials and eggs, pancakes cooked to order, delicious fruit, pastries, mimosas. We met Chef Suresh one morning and he made sure we enjoyed our food and even specially made us some aloo parathas one day. This was above and beyond service that we really enjoyed. We also really enjoyed the bar open air restaurant and we spent most nights relaxing there having some drinks and listening to music. They also had hookah available which was inexpensive so we got that multiple times and the flavors were great and the hookah lasted hours. The staff was constantly checking on the coals and making sure the smoke was never harsh. So we would get a bucket of Seybrew and hookah and enjoyed either the DJ or Live Band every night. It was a great resort, made even better by the staff working there and it was a relaxing enjoyable end to our honeymoon.

Was solo traveling to Seychelles for Relaxing stay . I found Hilton to be close to the airport and have nice villas with ocean view. I wish they have longer beach , the beach is short not what ihave expected .
