Resort is beautifully located on the west shore so sunsets are amazing! Resort has a fantastic large pool that is great for laps. Ocean swimming isn't great anywhere in the Seychelles because of changing currents and rip tides, but this resort has a lovely ocean pocket for relaxing in the 84 F water. Hotel is comfortable but does need refurbishing, The rooms are a little tired but overall fine. People in the Seychelles are pretty laid pack, Steve, the Concierge was wonderfully hospitable.

Dear Stephen, Thank you for choosing our resort for your recent stay at Avani Barbarons Seychelles Resort and for taking the time to post this review. I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Tamarind restaurant and the massage from our Spa Manager Kadek. We highly regret to hear of your dissatisfaction with the buffet, lunch and the room cleaning attempts. As per our personal conversation at the reception, I did apologise that the room cleaning was not done immediately after you have requested it. At the same time it was not necessary from our side to explain to you in detail where the miscommunication happened as it did not change the situation. As a team we are learning from service shortfalls and investigate each incident to improve our offerings. However, our management team refrains from highlighting or blaming single team members or departments in front of our guest as processes are too complex to pinpoint individuals. We exactly know where the failure happened and did the necessary to avoid the same in the future. As a small gesture of apology we invited you and your traveling partner for dinner to Tamarind which you enjoyed. Thank you once again for your feedback. Tropical regards, Benjamin

It was good. Barbarons beach is public beach but it feels like a private beach when you stay at Avani. The service was excellent; and the food was okay. However Avani is quite far from all the action.

Chilled, great scenery, views from restaurant stunning. Eating on the beach. Pool is lovely. It’s changing though- becoming a family centric hotel- so great if bring the kids. Not so great for a romantic honeymoon or anniversary treat. On the edge of becoming too “plastic” -rooftop bar has gone - replaced by unused mega expensive restaurant. Lines of floats in the sea don’t say Seychelles - more Costa Del Sol. Glad I was coming over past 20 years. Still fabulous though.

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for choosing our resort for your recent stay at Avani Barbarons Seychelles Resort and for taking the time to post this review. I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed the resort ambience with stunning views, the pool and the natural surroundings. The previous upper floor bean bag bar has been replaced with a memorable dining experience outlet called The Terrace offering a fabulous 4 course meal cooked right next to your table. Due to its private dining nature, it is usually frequented for romantic dinners and special occasions. The floats in the water are based on an initiative from the local authorities and the hotel to ensure a good and safe swimming experience on this public beach which is welcomed by locals and tourists alike. Thank you once again for your recommendation to other readers and the positive feedback. With that, I hope that we will have a chance to serve you again in the near future.

Beautiful ground, awesome service, rooms ehh
We booked this hotel because we missed our connecting flight to praslin. The hotel is beautiful and the beach and pool area is amazing. The rooms are ok. Nothing special and outdated as people say. My complaint would be the air conditioner. The room was HOT and HUMID all night. The service was amazing. We left at 5am the next morning and the front desk was up to greet us goodbye with special to go breakfast. We didn’t really try any hot food so I have no review. I would recommend but just take note of no real air conditioning.... after all you are in the Seychelles. Go to the beach!!!

Great vacation and hospitality experience at Avani Seychelles Barbarons Resort & Spa. The value and the price what we expected as a 4 star hotel. Our Beach front room was clean and net with extemly comfortable bed, the view from the room and the balconi was amazing. The pool, spa well maintained, at the garden and at beach front hardworking staff were consistently cleaning the area. Very comfortable to stay at the beach front. Staff at the reception were very helpful and friendly also advising highlight excursion. The restaurant was well arranged with breakfast and dinner selection. All food was delicious and tasty. Great omelette, fresh fruits and smoody station in the morning, at night the barbecue garden was great especially fish selection. Restaurant Manager and Ex-Chef were consistently checking guests experience during any meal. Friendly and hardworking staff were looking for any opportunity to have our stay enjoyable and memorable. We thorougly enjoyed our 6 days at Avani.

"Bad experience " I was very disappointed during my stay at Avani. The resort’s location is very isolated.The food was terrible flies were everywhere I even found a big cockroach walking around the breakfast buffet. We got bitten by bed bugs. The New year’s celebration was just awful the food and band and the DJ was just terrible and it was mandatory to pay for it even if you’re not gonna attend. I used the laundry service to clean my shoes and they actually ruined them. The only good thing about this resort is the concierge & room services staff especially Elimra.

Fantastic staff. Realy going extra mile. But rooms are compleatly outdated, AC can't cope with the temperature and is extreamly loud. Rooms are small and with a very bed small after the stay all our clothes stinked. Babycot was in a poor condition and not really clean, same with baby chairs out of 4 only one was good.

Beautiful beach but not much else.
Negatives - Not impressed with service, staff generally treated me like I was invisible. Difficult to get waiters to table had to leave table to actively search people out to get coffee with breakfast. Had to go up to bar to get menu, place order, get check even though there was allegedly table service. No service at the beach. Not good if you are an adult looking to relax, lots of families with young children so regular screaming and temper tantrums. Not good if you don’t like cigarette smoke. Most guests seemed to smoke and smoked everywhere. Don’t stay over Saturday night unless you like very loud(room shaking) techno music until 1am. Positives - Nice rooms. Clean. Beautiful beach with great snorkeling right off the shore, so bring your snorkel mask.

Avani stay
We had a wonderful stay in Avani resort, the beach there is just perfect, the location is beautiful and the hotel itself is clean and comfortable. If I had to put my finger on something it would be that service is a little slow, because we were not on full board so we had to wait for menu and service for each meal. But overall it was great and we would go again
