INCREDIBLE-INCREDIBLE-INCREDIBLE

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

INCREDIBLE-INCREDIBLE-INCREDIBLE. Purely one of the best hotel experiences I have EVER had. From touch down on the island, to departure, this stay was PURE FIRST RATE. This is an easy review to write because nothing was wrong, went wrong, on the contrary the stay was PERFECT. VIktoria, was my person concierge and she was delightful to work with. Timely, communicated appropriately, wasn't pushy, was very personable and knowledgeable and she made SURE, I had an INCREDIBLE birthday celebration. Others to mention, are Dyland and Sylvie from La Perla restaurant. They were terrific. Ben, at Lalin was great. Vivienne, the bellman was great. THE ISLAND was LOVELY. Once you get to the beach from your villa, you will be AMAZED. Food was OUTSTANDING. Service was OUTSTANDING! Island was OUTSTANDING! A must stay if you are in Seychelles.

Wonderful time in Seychelles. Our personal concierge Angelle was attentive, kind and patient. We will miss her. Our housekeeper and wait staff at the restaurants were also awesome!

Unforgettable experience

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay. What made it the most special was the staff that took care of us. Our concierge, Soukaina, went out of her way to go above and beyond for us to ensure we had an amazing time for this trip to celebrate our one year anniversary. She even surprised us with a mouse cake, a letter, and handmade flowers she made herself from coconut leaves! As well as helping my husband set up a surprise bath experience with face mask and bath salt, etc. She was very accommodating. I was learning how to ride a bike so as per request she also gave me a tricycle to try out. Happy to say I did learn how to ride a bike during this trip! Also, John, who took us on some amazing adventures to see the millions of stars, the Milky Way, and a planet, as well as taking us to see the active ocean creatures at night like the flying jumping fish! The diving center team and art center for creating new memories and experiences with. I loved painting coconuts and stones with my husband and our guides for the snorkeling were amazing, absolutely breathtaking views we got of the ocean life below. I don’t know how to swim so they made sure to make me feel safe and comfortable. And of course, La perie, we’re missing the food so much! It was absolutely delicious. And the team was so wonderful, their service is great! We loved chatting with everyone, it felt like we were with family. Everyone took such good care of us, we truly felt so cared for on this trip. We will cherish the memories we made and hope to visit again in the future.

An Unforgettable Honeymoon in Paradise

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Our honeymoon at Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island was, from beginning to end, nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we landed in Mahé, we felt that this was going to be a truly special experience. We were warmly welcomed and taken to the hotel’s private airport lounge, where every detail was handled with care before we boarded the internal flight to Platte Island. The entire transfer was seamless, comfortable, and beautifully organized, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment from the very beginning. Arriving on Platte Island felt like stepping into another world. The beauty, privacy, and peaceful atmosphere of the island immediately took our breath away. We were welcomed by Svetlana and John, who made us feel genuinely cared for from the moment we arrived. Their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail set the tone for the rest of our stay. Everything about the resort felt deeply personal. It was not simply the stunning villa, the natural beauty of the island, or the exceptional facilities that made our honeymoon unforgettable. It was the people. Every member of the team made us feel as though our happiness truly mattered. Our villa was absolutely beautiful and offered the perfect combination of privacy, comfort, and luxury. Waking up surrounded by the ocean and the untouched beauty of Platte Island was something we will never forget. Every detail had been thoughtfully considered, and the villa quickly became our own private sanctuary. The food throughout our stay was phenomenal and became one of the true highlights of our honeymoon. Every restaurant offered a completely different experience, yet the quality, creativity, and service were consistently exceptional. At Maison des Épices, Sous Chef Lopez truly stood out. His passion for food was inspiring, and it was clear that he put genuine care, creativity, and pride into every dish. Samwell also made our experience incredibly special through his warm service, kindness, and attention to detail. La Perle was another unforgettable dining experience, with outstanding food, a beautiful atmosphere, and the exceptional level of service that we experienced throughout the resort. At Moulin, Manoj was absolutely amazing. His knowledge, personality, and talent as a sommelier elevated every evening. He prepared some of the best drinks we had during our stay and always seemed to know exactly what we would enjoy. His personal approach made every experience feel memorable and unique. The culinary team did far more than simply serve excellent food. They created experiences that we looked forward to every day, and their passion was evident in every meal, every drink, and every interaction. What made Waldorf Astoria Platte Island truly special was the feeling that everyone went beyond what was expected. The service never felt forced or overly formal. It felt warm, sincere, and deeply personal. We were not treated simply as guests; we were made to feel like part of something very special. This was more than just a hotel stay for us. It became one of the most beautiful chapters of our honeymoon and a memory that my wife and I will carry with us for the rest of our lives. We are incredibly grateful to Svetlana, John, Sous Chef Lopez, Samwell, Manoj, and the entire Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island team for making our honeymoon so unforgettable. Their kindness, dedication, passion, and genuine hospitality deserve the highest recognition.

Wonderful island experience

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

We are currently enjoying three days at the Waldorf Astoria Platte Island before continuing our travels around the Seychelles. We almost skipped visiting this resort, but decided at the last minute to extend our vacation by a few days and check it out. We are so glad that we did! There is only one way to describe the experience. Exceptional. Absolutely exceptional in all aspects. The top notch hospitality started at the airport where we were greeted by Waldorf representatives and taken to the private Waldorf Astoria lounge. The lounge was the perfect respite from our long journey to the Seychelles. We were provided fresh cappuccinos and snacks as well as clean and well appointed shower facilities, which were a welcome benefit after traveling almost two days. Upon arrival at the island, the villas are beautiful, private, luxuriously appointed, and immaculately clean. Everyone on staff is amazing, especially our assigned personal concierge, Angelle. She has personalized every moment of our visit and has made us feel truly special. The island itself is all natural and gives the appearance of being completely untouched. Yes, the resort areas are perfectly manicured and beautiful. But, just a short walk down the beach and you feel like you are on an island never touched by a human, which is a beautiful experience. The food and drinks have been exceptional and there is something for every taste. We just can't say enough about how wonderful the Waldorf Astoria Platte Island has been.
