Dar and Douce

I made a mistake. I clicked March instead of April when making my reservation. It was a stupid mistake. We're in the middle of a nine month trip and mistakes will be made. When we didn't show for an 8 day stay in March, Dar and Douce made no effort to reach out. Instead they pocketed my entire $700+ and refused to even discuss a fair settlement. Most properties will keep a night for no shows and refund the rest. But Dar and Douce is not most properties. Instead Peter mocked my request, lied about how busy he was, made up some lie about FIFA needing rooms that week that he couldn't sell because he was waiting every day for us to show up. When I told this story to another property owner I met on the island, he laughed when I told him what property was involved and exclaimed "What a liar!" Apparently Peter's reputation preceded him. Again, I know I messed up. But there is no reason this had to be a $700 mistake...unless you do business with a peter who works at dar and douche. Stay away. I can only imagine the contempt they must have for their guests.

We stayed at Dar en Douce for 2 weeks in July/Aug 2022. The apartment was immaculately clean, with everything needed for a great stay. The air conditioning was extremely welcome, and was in both the bedroom and sitting room. The views over the Indian Ocean from the apartments outside seating area/balcony were stunning with the distant sound of the breaking waves forming a backdrop. We had a fantastic time in the Seychelles, visiting different beaches and restaurants as recommended by our hosts. They were extremely helpful and friendly and on hand to help /advise us. We would highly recommend Dar En Douce to anyone visiting the Seychelles, and we are already planning a return trip.
