Disappointing Stay Despite a Promising Start – L’Escale Resort Marina & Spa, Seychelles. We stayed at L’Escale Resort over Easter, hoping to create special family memories. Upon arrival, the experience began on a positive note—check-in was smooth, and the reception staff were friendly and helpful. The resort itself has an elegant, modern design and initially gave off the impression of a true luxury getaway. We paid USD 8382 (plus 600 for extra bed) for 6 nights. However, things quickly took a turn once we entered our room. The lighting control panel was partially broken—only one of the three panels worked. Several lights didn’t function at all, and a power socket panel was damaged. While the rest of the room looked clean and comfortable, these maintenance issues were disappointing for a resort of this caliber. The following morning, we encountered more problems. Our key card suddenly stopped working after breakfast. We were told this might be because it had been near a phone, which seems like a weak excuse for what is likely a system issue. Unfortunately, this was only the beginning of our frustrations with hotel service and infrastructure Disappointing Stay Despite a Promising Start – L’Escale Resort Marina & Spa, Seychelles We stayed at L’Escale Resort over Easter, hoping to create special family memories.

Unfortunately, this was only the beginning of our frustrations with hotel service and infrastructure. Calling the reception from our room rarely worked—no one answered, and even leaving a message led to nothing. I had to physically walk to the front desk just to place a room service order. After being assured the food was “coming in a few seconds,” we ended up waiting 90 minutes for just four Caesar salads and one spaghetti Bolognese. For a 5-star resort, this level of delay is simply unacceptable. Overall, while L’Escale Resort looks beautiful and has the potential to be an excellent luxury destination, it’s let down by poor maintenance, weak systems, and extremely slow service. Sadly, what started as a promising family holiday turned into a frustrating experience. Calling the reception from our room rarely worked—no one answered, and even leaving a message led to nothing.

There is a marina next to the hotel, the rooms are clean and tidy, and room service is in place. Breakfast is a buffet. The type is the buffet of a general five-star international restaurant. It can only be said that there is no change.

A small cozy hotel. Suitable for spending 1-2 nights there before the regatta, not suitable for a longer vacation. There is no beach nearby. The staff is very responsive and friendly. They answer all possible questions, help with calling a taxi. The breakfast is delicious, a choice of several options on the menu.
