The hotel is a nice small complex on cerf Iceland. It consists of a main building with about 8 rooms and some superior bungalows. The pool was small, but sufficient and neat. Meals are served in the adjacent open building were eaten. The guest structure was mixed-very few kids. I have indicated, i the hotel not recommend would: this relates however only on the location and the modest beaches. The hotel itself (room, service, food) was very good! read more

    Great room: We booked a standard room with the request, in the 1st floor to be accommodated. We had room number 1 (1st floor ) with a view of the pool, sea and mahé. The balcony is huge, with a bank, 2 comfortable wicker chairs, table, zeitschriftenständer (with old magazines from other vacationers) and rack for wet bathing clothes/towels. Rooms: Work desk, tv (only 2 programs, french), minibar, safety deposit box, double bed was comfortable. Bathroom: no shower! Dreieckbadewanne with shower rod, toilet and bidet.

    We booked half board. The breakfast buffet is available from 7.30 until 10 a. m. available. There was toast, three juices, cereals and milk, fruit, jam, cold cuts/cheese, Nutella, cream, pancakes and omelet/scrambled eggs/eggs made to order. Interesting was, that someone from the service every day the individual tourists visited with a menu for the evening. You could the starter and main in each case between two dishes. The food was delicious. However, with the desserts a need for improvement. In the 8n we experienced only once a buffet in the evening. To noon one can best. Food (card) can be prepared. Drinks: beer 80 rupees, water (1 liter) 40 rupees

    The employees were friendly and helpful. The room was always cleaned perfectly, the mini bar was refilled daily. At the front desk are different trips postable, so for example after moyenne, daytrip mahé, fishing... My request, if a trip to silhouette feasible, was promptly investigated. In the hotel also weddings possible. The boat after mahé at certain times is free of charge.

    Pool : big enough to the plantschen-' long trains' to swim not convenient. You can free kayak rentals, which was very lots of fun made. We have daily the island orbited. In the sea to swim does not lots of fun -for a were the tides very pronounced, to the other the water sometimes very cloudy. Caution: sand fleas! In our travel month (february) we zig sandflohbisse on cerf closed.

    Cerf Iceland is located 5 minutes walking from Victoria (eden Iceland) away. From the boat dock you go a few minutes to a bus stop, where regular buses to Victoria (circa 10 minutes) for 5 rupees to drive. Since we were already once in the Seychelles were, us cerf Iceland not convinced. The beaches were only moderately worth seeing. The cerf as' snorkeling paradise '', we can (and also other vacationers, with which we spoke) not confirm. Excursions are worth it to the adjacent islands in the marine national park (for example moyenne for 20 € in the hotel bookable). On cerf there are no shops or similar, so that you the hotel rely on (if you don't drink in Victoria purchases and to cerf adopted). We booked half board, what is worthwhile itself in any case.

Friendliness is subject from the staff, depending on it may very friendly to unfriendly vary. The staff from the restaurant was always very pleasant. Balcony direct with a view of the sea is super. You can unfortunately not much (to nothing at all) on the island make. Everything costs extra and is also sometimes a bit overpriced. The island is very small, even after demand we got no inselkarte. Snorkeling for the feet, to the st. Anne marine park you can only by boat and the costs extra (not as mostly from the tour operator on the doorstep announced). read more

The hotel is a former coconut farm with 8 rooms in the main building and 4 garden villa. Hotel, garden, pool, and room as a whole rather worn and neglected impression, so lay for example cigarette butts in front of the main entrance. The sun loungers were partially damaged, the cold, the welcome session handtuchrollen smelled very musty. There were all sorts of guests there, in the age, as well as in the nationality. read more

    The rooms themselves are quite small, but have generous terraces/balconies on the seaside. The air conditioning was in our room directly above the headboard of the bed was not always pleasant for sleeping is. The bathroom was also nothing special large (around 5 to 6 square meter ) but sufficient with bathtub and bidet (no window) The furnishings the closets in the room is also very simple kept. There is a wardrobe with hangers but without average or drawers (the closet made no especially clean impression). The safe is fastened in the closet.

    The hotel has a restaurant/bar area which basically a clean impression makes. The offered meals are mostly typical for the country, but partly qualitatively rather below average. So we had the impression, that the frittier fat already longer no more does not been changed. The already high prices for beverages and dine on the Seychelles were in this hotel, due to the lonely location, again later. So for a beer cost 5,50 Euro.

    The staff made (except for the owner) a friendly and helpful. Seychellentypisch all speak very good french, you can but also with english. The cleaning of the rooms was more or less fine. We had a strong insect in the room and bed. Instead of new sheets were the bed with a bottle of bug spray treated, which we personally didn't thought was nice. The hotel itself offers a variety of services, which, however almost exclusively are liable to pay the costs. So for example complimentary about 10 minute boat shuttle from and after mahe at specific times (to 9 hours 15 or 10 hours 30, back 16 hours 30 or 18 hours). All shuttle to other times (if you for example on eden Iceland dinner would like), 15,- Euro per person and ride will be charged. You should consider when the day of departure after 10:00 check out for example because of a late return flight, you can more in the room stay for a a daybed-surcharge 70 Euro.

    The hotel offers a free canoe on. The pool is quite small, but for cooling sufficiently. The number of of the chairs was visible but also enough. If you are going to the rainy season on the ground, are the possibilities when it rains in the garden to remain (covered pool chairs) also well arranged (but because of the spacious terraces/balconies not bad). Same goes for the spots in the shade. On the island there was little alternation in the evening must one then you have to pay after mahe translate.

    The hotel is directly at the beach, the however only in the morning at low tide can be seen. At high tide disappears this complete (from noon). There was a hotel-own beach for snorkelling on the back the island. The hotel offers its guests a first eskortierservice (5,- Euro) on this beach. The island cerf is directly across the main island of mahe (the rooms have all overlooking mahe) and is with the hotel-shuttle boat in 10 minutes. On cerf itself there were two other hotels but no shopping possibilities.

The room is equipped with a double bed, desk with chair, tv, safe, air conditioning, wardrobe and balcony with a sea view and Mahé. The bathroom has a corner bath, toilet and bidet, washbasin and window. Cleanliness was OK, but there are still potential of improvement ( under the bed also times, etc.). The staff in the restaurant was great ( extremely friendly and accommodating). The breakfast was okay and delicious (cereals, fresh fruits, pancakes, jams, sausage, cheese, egg dishes after wish freshly prepared, toast, several kinds of tea, milk, coffee). The dinner is matter of taste. We booked ... half board and were the first three evenings unfortunately no that satisfied: on the first evening there were buffet ( the dishes was ok but unfortunately not to our taste). The following two nights we stayed there was choice of the menus ( each 2 starters and mains, dessert). The food was good, but partly so hot, that you couldn't eat it. On the last two nights the hotel was very empty, so that we a la carte could (pre, main and dessert). Here we were happy. The garden is beautifully designed (many places to sit). The beach is right on your doorstep ( small however: beach there was only at low tide, it is depending on the season much seaweed washed up.) you can borrow canoes. The transfer for island Mahé is included. Unfortunately worked it not always that as requested (partly long waiting periods). If you this hotel bay, you have to realize, that one just a restaurant and no supermarket etc. Available has. The island can only with the hotel-shuttle bus-boat to leave. read more

Were after Praslin and La Dique the last 5 nights on Cerf. To us with a child (13 years) it was rather boring. To the island walking around is not possible. To the other side the island one arrives only over track by the forest, sometimes there were the residents not impressed since everything privately, but tolerated. In the closet there were not a single shelf, just a clothes bar with 5 hangers. Newspapers in the room available, partly very topical of 2008! Safe was only in the closet, was nowhere attached. The bathroom had the toilet-Flushing 5 days continuous ... ( included the night), warm water in the showers was non-existent, despite complaint. Perhaps we had with our room just bad luck, as our 'shower room' on the day of departure outstanding was. Beach only at ebb-tide usable, then however very beautifully. Pool was OK and clean. Food was very good and staff friendly. Through the monopoly of the restaurant however accordingly pricey. Canoe rental is OK but only with little wind recommendable. Cleaning the room was partially to be desired. In our opinion has Cerf nothing of Seychelles-feeling, we would see it as start for the Seychelles vacation recommend for maximum 3 nights. We arranged ourselves to our positive impressions of Praslin and La Dique not to spoil. Have the peace and quiet enjoyed and much reading. read more

Ideal for Srart a Seychelles-journey. Not far from the main island, but completely quiet. Nice hotel with delicious food. Bathing at low tide rather difficult, at high tide the beautiful. Who absolute peace looking for, is right at home here. More than 3 until 4 days I wouldn't recommend it, then continue to the right beautiful Islands ( for example La Digue ). read more

Dreamlike vacation, pure relaxation. Very nice and family-run hotel. We enjoyed the very good food tasty. Great beach- just amazing, we were always alone at the beach. We relaxed very well and would this hotel anytime again. No cars, no hecticness. Whose who want to one can relax with the hotel's own boat twice a day after Mahe( 15 minutes) drive. One day to have we for Mahe inspected and a other day, we were on Pralin and La Digue-everything was from the hotel in consultation with the travel guide organized. In short: anytime again! read more

We had to go to the end of our 3 week trip four nights in l'Habit instrumentation on Cerf island. The hotel is beautifully located directly at South-West beach of Cerf and has a main building and two bungalows. Our room in the main building on the first floor was very good with a very large Loggia and a great view of Mahe. Aircraft noise despite the closeness to the airport there is no: the 3-4 large flights a day. Small local plane flies over Cerf. In the room there was an air-conditioning (inclusive), a safe, a mini bar (mini ... fridge), a kettle, a hairdryer, a telephone, a television with two TV channels (local television and TV5Monde Afrique) and a DVD player. In the well-kept garden there is a small sweet water swimming pool (about eight times ten meters) with shower, as well as various pavilions and beach chairs (partly with soft cushions). You can also directly in front of the hotel (at low tide) on the beach. Blue beach towels in the room. The hotel's boat from EDEN Island (Mahe, south of Victoria) and dock at Cerf island smells Habitation directly in front of l' strongly of fuel, and is very limited. You have to collaborate with the boat young, when you want to be, when you went on an excursion in Mahe power. The hotel staff was very nice and helpful. Luggage is brought to your room from the boat directly (and back at check out!). We felt in the hotel and on the island very safe and even the rooms windows and Loggiatüren always be left open. It was the air conditioning for us totally unnecessary. If we had a room on the ground floor, I don't know, if we would have left a great deal to be done. The breakfast was served in the buffet time: there is everything, What one needs, also cereals. Sometimes there was porridge or pancakes. Only no yogurt, it is generally not in Seychelles. Dinner from 19. 30 hours was always served was good (starter, main course, dessert, coffee). Was it a good tasty fish, even just a 0815-tuna steak. If you eat for lunch, dinner was perfectly adequate, otherwise only mediocre. About. 17 hours you had to get the starter and main course for this. Other food is relatively expensive in the hotel, for example, 0.75 liter of water cost 35 SR, beer SR 60, fish with fries 175 SR (everything plus 10% service fee, if in the restaurant). Also is a bit negative, as the hotel owner on Friday 25. 02 before eyes of the hotel guests in the restaurant, a casual Champagnerparty (private) for their own guests shouted. Couldn't have to be. Shops on the island No, so you must bring all of Mahe, what else do you need. The island Cerf is property and several families (compared with La Digue) a bit dirty but, that it was a nature reserve 'Ste Anne marine National park'. Interesting snorkeling you only few places, especially in the south of Cerf, otherwise mostly seaweed growing on sand. So 'Snorkeling around the island' is not recommended. The swim goes well, it is in front of the hotel in the Cerf passage so good no surf. Be careful when swimming: the seaweed was partly many sea urchins, so your feet don't drop into the grass. You can take one of the hotel's free kayak and paddle around the island. Against the wind around the Northern tip of the island is a bit of a hassle, the rest is easy. You discover the four small islands, of which two (Ile Ronde Ile longue and) currently being built. On the third (Ile atmosphere) you have to pay, if you want to the country. On the fourth (Ile Cachée) except for the beach because you can't enter nature. You find a nice quiet beach on Cerf, just south of the hotel. It is also at low tide on the land within easy reach. You can cross the Cerf island walking on a pretty grown on small mountain path. The beaches of the north-east side are very flat and less interesting. There are huts everywhere. Otherwise, you can get from the hotel boat trips through the national park. Or just excursions on Mahe. read more
