Villa Chez Batista | House in Mahe Island

“Did not have the room we requested available so they upgraded us. Very much appreciated”

“Excellent location on a fabulous beach with clear turquoise ocean. Rooms and service are good, food excellent and there is a friendly barman who can mix great cocktails. I wish we could have stayed longer!”

“Nice property with big turtles directly on the beach with waves”

“Lovely view on to Takamaka beach with adjoining beachside restaurant. Food was good.Both room and food Very reasonably priced for Seychelles. 40 minutes to airport.”

“The hotel is located in a beautiful bay that is relatively quiet. It is amazing to wake up right next to the ocean and to this view! We stayed in the junior suite in the house next to the pool and we think that it was the best choice. If you are looking for a quiet island get away, this is a perfect place for it and also doesn't break the bank. Staff was very nice and helpful. One night we came back after dinner and found dead bugs in our room which were trying to take shelter from an approaching storm. It didnt take them more than 5 minutes to send someone to clean up. We can definitely recommend this place!”

“Nice hotel located directly on the Takamaka beach. It was a beautiful beach, and when you are in the Seychelles, you cannot beat being on a beautiful beach. Anse Intendance is a 20-30 minute walk, and it is also beautiful, although with stronger waves. Hotel staff very nice. Restaurant is good and is literally on the water. I stayed in a room away from the beach. It was a good choice for me. Bed covers could have been better, but the bed was okay. You need a car if you want to see more of the island. Taxis are expensive. Very glad I stayed here and not at Beau Vallon. Chez Batista is the only hotel on the beach, and the increased privacy is great. Wi-Fi worked well.”

“We had a great holiday here in this terrific location. Away from the accommodation the beach is stunning, quiet and unspoilt. Sunsets are lovely and viewable from the beach and restaurant/bar. Snorkelling is a very popular activity - there are plenty of colourful fish and we also saw turtles and rays. We explored the rest of the island by car. ”

“It was the third time that we were at Chez Batista. It's a beautifull place with charming rooms. View over the complete bay and a restaurant right next to the sea. The people are friendly and as they know us now from our former stays it is somewhat like coming home. We will come back! ”

“Upon arriving at the airport we were greeted by a driver that had been arranged by the hotel. After a 30 minute ride south we arrived at the Takamaka area, we couldn't believe our eyes as we arrived at Villa Chez Bestia. The hotel is located at one of the most beautiful, secluded beaches on Mahe island. Reception was very accommodating; to help us better enjoy our honeymoon they upgraded our room for all of our stay as well as gave us late check out on the day of our flight out. The room had stairs directly from the room to the beach which is unique to Chez Betista, (as the law change after the hotel was built). The hotel staff was friendly and although it did take time to get towels or other requests we didn't mind waiting and rate them 5/5 (Important to note reception is open 8am-5pm). The restaurant has good food but the staff is less helpful so we preferred to eat in our room overall, the restaurant is 3/5. Keep in mind food and water are expensive. We suggest you buy your alcohol at duty free, to save some cash. The south of the island, next to the hotel, is less touristy so there were times we were alone on the beach, making it a very peaceful place to relax. The ocean behind the hotel is also ideal for snorkeling. The rooms do not have wifi but the hotel lobby does.”

“The Beach the was Stunning, Great for a wedding or photo shoots!”
