Carved into a hillside and surrounded by a marine nature reserve, Cerf Island Resort is the go-to getaway spot when the need calls for seclusion, spectacular surroundings and unsurpassed services. Located in Seychelles, an archipelago consisting of more than 100 islands scattered across the Indian Ocean northeast of Madagascar, the resort is an oasis and a place to reenergize your soul. Situated at the entrance to Sainte Anne National Marine Park, guests can choose from one of 24 private villas, all of which strike a perfect balance for enjoying the tropical surroundings without relinquishing any modern amenities. The Hillside Villas are flanked with four-poster beds, sprawling al fresco bathrooms with tandem tubs, and sliding doors that open onto spacious balconies. The Hideaway Villas boast private sun gardens and a roomier floor plan, while the timbered Tortoise Suites offer an expansive master bedroom and bath, lounge and living room.

The hotel is only about ten minutes by boat from the main island, nestled in tropical vegetation. It is located in the middle of a marine national park, so it is a paradise for diving. All you need is a mask, fins and a swimsuit, and the adventure begins. But If you like urban, crovded, locations, this is not the place for you. The hotel staff, especially the hotel manager, are very friendly, professional, ... I don't know how much they are paid, but they definitely deserve twice as much. They do a great job! The bungalows are nestled in tropical vegetation, and you are definitely guaranteed privacy. There is a path leading to each bungalow, and for those who are not in the mood (like my husband) to walk to their room, there is a driver and a small electric vehicle (like a golf cart) available at any time of the day or night to drive them in both directions. I celebrated my 40th birthday there, and the staff did their best to make it unforgettable. With a song, they brought me a small cake with a candle after dinner, and when we returned to the bungalow, on the bed was written a message in palm branches: "Happy Birthday Ivana!" To organize an excursion or just a trip to the main island (Mahe), just contact the reception staff and you won't have to worry about anything. We had half board, breakfast and dinner, the food was excellent and really more than enough for us. But for those who are used to all-inclusive and unlimited amounts of food - half board is not the best choice. The hotel has two swimming pools (who wants to swim in the pool next to the beautiful Indian Ocean), a sufficient number of sun loungers and parasols, two beaches (in the Seychelles all beaches are public), but when the tide comes in, one beach completely disappears, but that doesn't interfere with swimming (or sunbathing). Nature is incredible! The hotel is clean and tidy, towels and bed linen are changed regularly. All in all, a place to relax both body and soul! PS: ( I hope that they will update/upgrade their website because it is terible! - it is the only bad thing about this hotel!)

I shall treasure the time I had to the end of my days in the time I had at Cerf Island Seychelles Resort. The scenery, the beaches, the kindness of all the staff, food, Villa, the Spa staff, just the calmness, serenity and tranquility are genuinely quite beyond words... Thank you for making my 60th Birthday so unbelievably special. ""Thank you everyone,"". It is a very very special place in this World of ours.

The place was very relaxing n beautiful. But if u have fear for lizards n all . Then it’s not a place for u. Plus the staff is not very accommodating. A few of them are but not all. Very laid back attitude.
