Carana Beach Hotel

We stayed two nights (arriving at 2am due to international flights), before heading out to north island. It was a flawless stay. I can’t give it 5 stars since other island in Seychelles have more intimate and luxurious environments. however, it’s the perfect introduction to Seychelles, a nice beach, a great breakfast buffet, a good restaurant, comfortable rooms. I definitely would recommend, particularly for the price.

We had a wonderful stay at carana beach hotel! The staff was fantastic. We were almost alone on the beach and the water was very clear! The chalets are very nice and modern with your own terrace! The food was sooo good! We loved it! Can really recommend this place!

I just can’t fault this hotel - completely perfect. Gorgeous setting overlooking the beach, and I believe all rooms face seawards. The staff are so friendly (and cheerful), especially all those we spoke to at the restaurant/bar. Room was perfect - excellent facilities including private balcony. Pool area was just right too - always an available sun-lounger to be found. Food (half board) was brilliant and the head chef came around to speak to diners after most meals - you can see his culinary influence from having spent time in the Far East, Middle East and Europe. There was hardly anyone on the beach (although open to the general public), but the waves were quite rough, so we didn’t actually swim in the sea. There’s a little “supermarket” about 10 minutes walk away where you can get various bits and pieces. Hired a car for a couple of days to see the sights of Mahe Island. I would highly recommend this hotel - one of the loveliest I have ever stayed in.
