Guest reviews

We are repeat guests at Surfer’s chalets and this 2-week stay was a bliss again. The owners and the staff are all very helpful and caring. The bungalows are cleaned every day except for Sundays, with towels changed regularly incl. beach towels. You can enjoy lovely sunrise just from your terrace and well-kept garden around. The beach restaurant is another bonus to the stay - great service, delicious food for good price. We recommend hiring a car to be able to explore other parts and beaches of the Island. The beach at Surfer’s is lovely too, I went there early in the morning for a swim, then there is a low tide good for snorkeling and you can swim again in the afternoon. There are good waves for surfers sometimes. We highly recommend this spot and definitely will be returning.

This was our 3rd time to the Seychelles and 1st time to the Surfers Chalets. We stayed for 2 weeks and travelled to several "Anses" as we well as to La Digue. The chalets have all you need to enjoy a pleasant holiday, are big enough for a family of 3 and very tidy & clean. The team is very friendly and happy to help. We often enjoyed our meals in the Surfers Beach Restaurant which is right in front of the chalets, located on the beach, perfect for sun-downers (even if on the east coast) or a nice breakfast during low tide. We were very happy with our stay and are sure to be back! The area around Surfers Beach is fairly quiet, Anse Royale is not far but the South -East coast is a bit quieter than e.g. North-West, but that's a question of personal prefence!

It was not our first time staying at Surfers Beach Self Catering Chalets and it won't be the last - it is an excellent all-round experience. We would say that it is a far better experience and overall deal than staying in some of Mahe's so-called Luxury hotels - certainly from a spaciousness, cleanliness, comfort and value for money perspective. The chalets offer a spacious bathroom, living room and kitchen plus a very comfortable large bedroom. You can tell the chalets were developed with great attention to detail including the exterior which boasts a spacious deck for cocktails at sundown looking out over the ocean or just generally relaxing. This is all complemented by the beachfront Surfers Restaurant just a few steps away. My partner and I were visiting from the UK and were very pleased to find Surfer's charms remain fully intact since we last visited pre-Pandemic. Thank you Surfers for a brilliant stay - again!

I write only after three months because I'd not add anything to previous reviews : the location, the size of the rooms, the cleanliness, the equipment, the kindness of all the staff are perfect.But today I read a review that left me dumbfounded and that doesn't describe the place where I stayed. I cannot believe it' s the same chalets. I hope it's a mistake, and confirm they are worth the maximum score for me, and I hope to return as soon as possible.

Cannot fault the experience at Surfers Beach. Richard and his team treated us so well and the accomodation was spacious and spotless. I will never forget sitting on the veranda sipping cocktails and listening to the waves every night. Everything in the chalet worked as it should and we did not switch on the television once for our whole stay of 13 days. The cleaning staff were particurally nice and efficient. The air conditioning and fans were highly effective but most of all the great space and cleanliness of the chalets made our stay so relaxing. If you are visiting the Seychells, this is the place to stay.

We had a great time there! Both the owner and the staff were very kind and helpful! Shout out to Lisa eho helped us a lot! Very clean room with nice view from the porch, beach and restaurant were for 2 minutes walk. Thank you for everything, we already plan our way back again sometime!

Surfers Beach was perfect! We had had a (lovely but) somewhat bumpy stay on Praslin involving a hospital visit, a damaged rental car, and a few other complications, so when we arrived at Surfers Beach we were ready to just chill. This was the perfect place to do it. It was wonderful to just sit on our porch, stare at the ocean, and watch the fruit bats fly by. The rooms aren’t fancy, but they’re spacious and comfortable and have everything you need. The beach was very pretty; it was great for lounging and we saw people snorkeling past the reef maybe 30 yards offshore. The restaurant is really good and the staff were friendly and efficient. We kind of wish we’d spent a little more of our time in the Seychelles at Surfers Beach and we’d go back in a heartbeat.
