Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort and Spa

When you decide to book a trip to Seychelles, expectations are on a high level already. This does not make it easy for a resort to fulfil. To summarise our vacation to start with, the Hilton Labritz made it up to what we expected. After 16 hours of traveling the reception at the jetty from where the ferry took us to Silhouette Island gave a positive impression of the warm hospitality by the Hilton staff already. An hour later we got into our beach front villa. The place was clean, functional, spacious. Something special we enjoyed has been the outdoor shower the villa had. And you felt the housekeeping took care with passion. Rangid, the employee taking care of the housekeeping at our Villa did his job with passion and was always available when needed. When we woke up in the morning, the view from the bed over the Indian Ocean was stunning. So, first thing in the morning after waking up was a quick dip into the ocean. It really felt like paradise. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety from very healthy to very tasty ;-) Something for everyone. Here also, the staff was nice and friendly. During our 10 days we had dinner at all the restaurants except one: The Portobello offered high quality food with a nice Italian flavour. The service was very good. The Sakura offered also high quality food with an asian flavour. The service we felt was the best of all restaurants and was excellent. The Grann Kaz offered local creole food. It was the only dinner experience which did not fulfil our expectations. Despite the fact, that food we have chosen was not our favourite, the service had some space to improve. It was the only dinner when we felt the staff does not work with passion. The plates have been put on the table like in a canteen. With the feedback we gave of the food, it felt they did not care about. The Caf?? Dauban was the dinner buffet restaurant with different themes every evening. It offered a wide variety even despite the main theme, that you always could find your favourite. The quality was above the average for a buffet. The Saturday night theme is Street Food. Despite good food, there was a bit of program with local dancing. And it offered a place to mingle with the other guest in a nice atmosphere. Personally we enjoyed to experience that the manager of the restaurants John Bosco was in a constant communication with the guests and his staff. He was leading his team to a very personal and nice service towards their guests. Silhouette Island is not a place where you should expect activities permanently. The Hilton offers a variety of activities, but its mainly a place where you have plenty of time to "waste" by doing very little. This is meant very positive. It is a place to relaxe, to calm down and enjoy nature at its origin. The island is basically a natural reservoir with the opportunity to stay within. Hilton has the ambition to make this resort as sustainable as possible. Still give as many as possible amenities to their guests. We think, they are doing a pretty good job. The nature on Silhouette is stunning. As tourism is limited to the number of beds on this island, the beach is empty. There is almost no artificial light on the island, so you have an awesome sky of stars when it gets dark. Personally, I made my first experience every with scuba diving during our vacation. I have been impressed by the marine life I saw during my two diving sessions. Usually, I do not feel to go twice to an exotic destination. But this one would be worth it!

We loved absolutely EVERYTHING! Very spacious and beautifully decorated room,amazing food and service.we got a nice cake for my sons birthday,not to mention a room with a pool! The kids had a great time.Kudos!

We visited for 1 week in March 2019. We had a great time. What we liked 1. The place, island with pretty much just this hotel there. Hotel was nice, rooms clean, spacious. Really a piece of paradise. 2. We did a fishing trip and really enjoyed it. Fully recommend to ask them to make you that fish for dinner (you bad about 40EUR, but have plenty of fish for a couple to eat) 3. Nice benefits for Gold Hilton members 4. I did my Advanced Diving certificate and the whole crew was very nice, great PADI diving place 5. Overall service, all staff was super nice and friendly. Morris took excellent care of us, thanks so much. 6 Having bikes as property is long, so was nice way to get around 7. Fact that despite hotel was full, you never felt it. We were many times alone on the beach or just seeing a few people in the distance. What we did not like: 1. Wifi was just a disaster. Hardly ever worked. 2. Restaurants were overpriced while did not offer any superb experience (quality of food was very good though) 3. Only 3 boats going to or out of the island, if you do not stick to it, you might have to leave too early and have way too much waiting time before your flight. 4. Plunge pool is a bit useless, don't pay extra.
