Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort and Spa

So I???ve waited almost 6 months to write this review as being in lockdown is the perfect time to give this review my full attention ... We spent a long time deciding on which resort in the Seychelles to get married in .. when we saw the Hilton Labriz we both fell in love with this resort straight away ... With the amazing help of christine at sey exclusive ( wow she???s fantastic and we would 100% recommend her, her knowledge and guidance was unbelievable) we booked the Hilton Labriz for the wedding and Christmas week and Constance lemuria ( for the honeymoon new year week ). Christine helped us arrange the wedding package , booked the helicopter to arrive in style at Labriz , organised us a hire car for the second week on praslin and generally totally looked after our every needs and questions. We flew from Heathrow , I had a bride box for my wedding dress which BA looked after and stored safely on our outbound and inbound journeys.. We were taken Straight to the helipad on arrival at Mahe and had the most fabulous flight into Labriz.. ( it was a wedding surprise from me for my hubby and we both were blown away with the views and expertise of the lady pilot ).. We were greeted by the wonderful Dominic at the helipad at Labriz and he took us to the hotel reception on a golf buggy explaining the resort on route , pointing out local trees, restaurants , telling us about local delicacies etc .. He was fabulous and we saw him most days around the resort , he sang on Christmas Eve at the managers cocktail evening and he was amazing .. Check in was wonderful as we were greeted by our wedding planner Tania ( who had also been emailing us in preparation for our wedding before we flew out ).. We got transported to our beach villa and settled in ... Wow ! What a beautiful villa , right on the beach , very private with a beautiful bathroom and a private garden with outside shower .. Such a Huge comfortable bed... plenty of space and a balcony that we made used of every day for a sundowner before dinner .. The restaurants were lovely , we especially loved portobello and gran Kaz.. We ate breakfast in Portabello and cafe Dauban and enjoyed both .. the manager in cafe Dauban always made time to chat to us and make our experience special and we loved Pritti one of the waitresses there she was so humble and couldn???t do enough for us .. La Brizan lunch time restaurant was really lovely and yet again the staff there were fantastic especially Abel .. wow Abel we loved seeing you at lunch ... you made our lunchtimes! We loved chatting to you , you gave us 5 star treatment every single time ... 🙏 Lots of things stand out for us at this resort , having been many times to the Maldives , Mauritius , Bali etc this resort really stood out for us .. We always said we would Marry in the Seychelles and we know we made the perfect choice of having our wedding here.. It???s an island just with this one resort so it???s very personal , private and totally enchanting ... The staff are simply the best , they really do care , they really want you to have the best experience and they make sure you do .. Our wedding , well , it was just the most beautiful day. Evans !!! We can???t thank you enough , you made our flowers , arches , walkway and wedding setting picture perfect.. We had meetings before hand with all the relevant people together with Tania our beautiful wedding planner .. we visited various sites to chose exactly where we wanted to be married and made our colour / flower choices .. We chose the more intimate spa beach area to Marry , with the beautiful Seychelles boulders and sea right in view for the wedding photos ... No one around but us so it was a very private wedding... The make up and hair lady tackshelia from the amazing on site spa was phenomenal, totally wonderful , she made my hair had make up look exactly how I wanted ( I showed her pictures ) She even helped me into my wedding dress and helped touch up my make up and hair for the photos / video after we had said our vows .. Her Service and professionalism went above and beyond .. thank you ?????? And then there was Ada!! Oh my gosh your an amazing asset to the Hilton group .. You made everything perfect for us and the surprises from you just kept on coming ... From the fabulous mention and picture on the eve of our wedding in the daily Hilton newsletter to the diamant?????s placed in my wedding bouquet , to the surprise romantic beach gazebo wedding breakfast after the wedding , and the very intimate dinner on our wedding night .. you are amazing and you made our wedding exactly how we imagined it ... thank you 🙏 The day after the wedding was Christmas eve and the resort was alive with everything Christmas , we had gifts from the resort ( most days there were presents our bed after returning from breakfast ) it was just wonderful.. The villa cleaner was brilliant , discrete and professional, he made our room look amazing on our wedding night and made us the most beautiful petal bubble bath and decorated the room beautifully for us ...🙏 We would definitely recommend being in the Seychelles for Christmas and new year , it???s a magical time and the staff really feel like friends .. We loved the next resort we visited after Labriz but what stays in our minds about the Hilton is the staff !! The care , attention to detail , the way your happiness really matters to them , it???s genuine ... Also the island has amazing walks and views. we saw turtles 🐢 and empty turtle eggshells everyday where they had hatched out and made their way to the sea , it was magical .. The island is truly beautiful with the most beautiful people working tirelessly keeping it eco friendly on this beautiful protected island .. We would love to re visit this stunning island 🌴one day . We visited 4 islands in total whilst in the Seychelles but this island has our heart 💓

Be sure that the entire team is treating you as part of the ???island??? family. The Ressort seems a bit too big and placing a reservation at the place of your choice can be a challenge sometimes. But overall the rating can be only 5*! Diving is just amazing around this island. Taking the helicopter instead the boat shuttle could be a wise decision during rough sea !!! ;)
