Valmer Resort and Spa

We stayed at ValMer Resort (Baie Lazare) from 26 March to 4 April 2024 and we found this one of the best holidays ever. Although we've been to several beautiful places (e.g. in the Maldives) before we were amazed by the welcoming atmosphere, the excellent service and the beautiful design of ValMer Resort. Accommodation: The rooms (we booked and ocean view suite) are big, clean and offer some convenient features such as a king size bed, air conditioning, TV, safe, coffee maker, kettle as well as a fully equipped kitchenette. We also enjoyed the wide balcony with a scenic view and fruit bats and geckos hanging around in the trees next to us. :-) Setting and scenery: ValMer Resort is located close (4 min walking distance) to Bai Lazare, one of the most beautiful beaches in the Seychelles for swimming, surfing or snorkeling. The resort fits in very well with the landscape as it has been designed accordingly. Rocks, palm trees and exotic vegetation are appealingly integrated so that you get an authentic feeling of the Seychelles wildlife. Service and Food: Both service and food at ValMer Resort can only be described as extraordinary. All staff members have been very friendly, supportive and welcoming at all times. Receptionists straightforwardly took care of all of our inquiries, house keeping and room service spring-cleaned our room every day. We also got two Spa treatments which were very relaxing and can be booked for a reasonable price. The service at the restaurant with a view (which is beautifully located next to the infinity pool) as well as the food being served was one of the best we ever experienced. There was a buffet for breakfast and dinner, which offered local high quality food and varied between different delicious styles such as, Creole, Italien, Asian or international. We enjoyed every night and every chat with the restaurant staff. In sum, this was an amazing holiday and we can't wait to come back to the Seychelles. See you soon, ValMer Resort! All the best, Diana and Pete Quest

We had an incredible experience! Very attentive staff, buffet dinner with various types of cuisine and varied breakfast. I highly recommend staying at the pool village with a private infinity pool and the couples massage, which is wonderful!

This is the best hotel in the South of the Island! The Staff is very nice, and the food is amazing, mainly the dinner, with different themed food each night. The hotel is very close to 2 beautiful beaches and the massages are some of the best I've ever had!

We stayed in Valmer Resort for 3 nights, in a sea view room, which is I believe the most basic unit in the property. Nevertheless, the room was very big, the balcony was great, and so was the view, especially before sunset - we made some amazing photos. The best part of our stay was the food, from very rich breakfast, to outstanding dinner menu. The chefs are out of this world, and if you can afford it, take the half-board option. The staff is amazing, from the reception, to spa (we had a massage and everything was great). The location is also good, if you have your own rental car (it is not walking distance to the beach or any other attractions), parking is provided free of charge. What bothered me a little was that there is no complimentary coffee or tea in the room (kettle is provided, but you need to pay for tea/coffee bags), which a rookie mistake - you can get free coffee/tea at any other (much cheaper) place. The toiletries in the bathroom are also quite basic, just okay-ish. If you get a good deal, go for it, everything else was perfect.

After  10 days spent at ValMer Resort, I could say that I had a wonderful experience.  The resort is beautiful, 5 minutes away from a nice beach and located in south west of the island Mahe, which is ideal because there are several beautiful beaches located in this part of the island. We had a nice room with ocean view, very clean and comfortable. The pool and the restaurant are located on the top of the resort, which is perfect because there some great landscapes around that could be seen from that area.  I must say that the food at the restaurant was excellent, during our stay there. Different dishes, we had steak, fish, seafood, burger, different types of chicken, etc. The staff is very friendly and polite, Kissen who is the manager and Ryan Camille, the chef, were always interested if we are happy with the food and drinks and asked constantly if we need anything else that could make us feel more comfortable and happier. I made friends with them and also with Shah and Shafiul who are working at the restaurant and serving al the pool, as well.  They were extremly nice and always looking to improve your experience and to make you feel like you were at home. The cocktails are very good, I would recommend the ones with coconut rum, which are so great and tasty. To conclude, I would definitely recommend ValMer resort as your accomodation during the wonderful Seychelles experience

The hotel is in a lovely setting in the south west of the island. If you want peace and quiet this is the area to be. The drive to the hotel from the airport is approximately 35-40 minutes. This includes going over the twisting and winding hills. If you’re driving be aware that there are no road barriers on the roads. However, it is very straight to drive in Seychelles is easy enough. However, the hotel itself although in a lovely location, the rooms have become dated and tired looking. The restaurant staff are 100% friendly and helpful. The reception staff however are a mixed bag. Some were very welcoming and happy to see me and were very helpful. Others were more interested in something or someone on their mobile phone. I was there for Christmas 2021 22 December to 28 December. The menus in the restaurant were very repetitive but tasty. However, for Christmas they put on. Christmas buffet which they called a ‘gala’. Again the food was delicious and the waiting staff were cheerful, friendly and pleasant. Overall, I’d recommend the hotel to stay as its location and its views from the restaurant and pool area are breathtaking. However, I would point out that the price does not reflect the quality of the rooms.

We chose this place for our honeymoon. And we can say that this is the best honeymoon we could imagine, as staying here brings us great pleasure. When we arrived at the hotel we were greeted with delicious welcome cocktails. Very friendly and helpful staff at the reception. You can move around the hotel by Golfcar, which is very convenient especially when you are tired. Golfcar drivers are very friendly and will always come and take you to your room. The grounds are very well maintained and clean with great views and beautiful rocks. Rooms in the hotel with amazing views, we have an ocean view. Very bright, cozy, and clean (which is the most important for me), high-quality cleaning is here every day. The bed is very comfortable and soft. The internet in the room works quite well. The restaurant is always fresh and divinely delicious food. Incredibly nice staff, very friendly and caring. Very fast service and nice food.

We were positively surprised: we arrived after a long flight in the morning. A very kind receptionist checked us in and we had our room 30min later. It was big, refurbished, nice balcony, clean. The location is great, nice pool area. The staff was outstanding, food of really good quality. We liked the lunch menu best. In the evening there is a buffet. During the day we spent our time relaxing at the pool or went down to the beach, a few hundred meters away. If you want to do excursions, you can rent a car in the hotel (we paid 65 € a day including insurance) or you just go to the bus stop directly in front of the resort. We enjoyed our stay and our rating for this category is 5*. One thing you should be aware: the resort spans up a hill. Restaurant and pool are on the upper side (great view). The caveat: you might have to climb up quite some stairs. Would we come again? A clear yes!

Best reasonable price hotel, The restaurant team with Chef Ryan, Sha and many other kind and caring people will treat you like family and will put extra effort to make your vacation the best one ever!! I can't wait to come back, Thank you so much 🙏🏾
