Hilton Seychelles Northolme Resort & Spa

I can’t thank Rami enough as he planned and arranged all our joyful stay in Seychelles Really appreciate it. There are two restaurants and a bar for drinks and snacks. The villas are clean and comfortable. Floating pool is amazing and staff are professional

Unique location of the small and fine complex in wonderful tropical garden with great staff. The food, the drinks, the atmosphere in the house excellent. We would especially like to mention from the service staff Nelly, who has allowed us some fun evenings and provided a very attentive service. The hotel is certainly not a beach resort, the small beach is especially at low tide but very tranquil. Car hire can be booked cheaply directly at the hotel, the location is also optimal with regard to the airport and the capital Victoria. We would be happy to come back and look forward to it already.

We came to Hilton Northolme without any big expectations. It wasn’t a resort we’d planned around, just somewhere that looked nice. This was the start to our combined Seychelles and UAE holiday which we booked through Angelfish Travel. This leg was designed to let us shrug off the jet-leg, acclimatise and adjust our clocks. What we ended up with was a calm, well managed stay, and the Signature Villa with pool was the highlight. We always spend a lot of time in the room, so the villa really matters to us and this one was excellent. It was spacious, quiet, and private. The pool was a good size, the deck looked straight out over the ocean with no interruptions, and everything was in great condition. It felt like our own space, and we were more than happy staying put for most of the day. Inside, the layout worked well — big bed, lots of storage, large bathroom with double sinks and a tub. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We settled in quickly and didn’t feel like we were missing anything by not using the main facilities much. The Signature Villas are located on the far side of the resort, away from reception, the restaurant, and the bar. Because of the steep gradients typical of the Seychelles, walking to and from the main areas from these villas isn’t really practical. The buggy service is essential if you're staying in this part of the resort, and in our experience it worked well. Staff were prompt and polite every time we called from the villa phone. For guests staying in rooms closer to reception, walking would be more manageable. Service throughout the resort was consistent and professional. Everyone we interacted with was helpful, and requests were handled without fuss. We used in villa dining a few times and it arrived on time, with everything set up properly. The food was good, and it made staying in feel easy and relaxed. On one day we got floating canapés in the pool, tailored to our preferences which was a lovely touch and made for some great photos. Breakfast was a mix of à la carte and buffet. There was a small but well-presented buffet for fruit, pastries, cereals, and juices, alongside a cooked-to-order menu with hot options. It was well balanced and never felt rushed or crowded. The views from the restaurant added to the relaxed pace of each morning. The quality was consistent throughout our stay, and service was attentive without being intrusive. It made for a pleasant, unhurried end to each day. This isn’t a resort built around activities or large shared spaces, which suited us. It’s quiet, compact, and designed for rest. If you’re looking for a peaceful, room focused holiday where you can switch off and enjoy your own space, this place delivers. The Signature Villa with pool made the whole stay, and we’d absolutely recommend it. Many thanks to Sunera, the Executive Sous Chef here for looking after us so well.

We celebrated our honeymoon here and received exceptional service from the staff. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast staff were wonderful and Precious always made sure to especially come and greet us with a warm smile during every morning in the restaurant. We were even kindly upgraded to a ocean pool villa room by Kerri-Anne on our last two nights which was such a wonderful and memorable end to our trip, especially with the fact that it wouldn’t have been in our budget usually so we’re really grateful. The extra little honeymoon touches we received too were great! The only thing I would say is that if you’re staying for a while (we stayed 9 nights) it is worth hiring a car as the hotel is a little secluded (about a 20 min walk on a main road with no pavement, to the beach and nearest restaurants) so it would be good if there could have been a range of entertainment options at the hotel in the evening as there isn’t a lot to do once you’ve had dinner. Apart from that, wonderful hotel and wonderful staff! Thank you for making our honeymoon so memorable. However they do offer a free shuttle each day to the beach and the main town which drops you at 11:30am and picks you up at 4:30.

We had a Grand Oceanview Infinity pool villa and it was well worth it. A spacious suite with comfortable large bed and good shower. There’s also a jacuzzi bath in the bathroom but we never used this. The room is maybe slightly dated but who cares when the pool with views is spectacular! The only slight issue is the bed is on a raised platform so be careful if you get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night as it’s easy to forget about it and take a painful tumble. We had half board basis. Breakfast was excellent with a large buffet of cold options to choose from. In addition there’s an a la carte menu of made to order hot dishes, predominantly egg based, but sausages etc too. Dinner is slightly hit n miss and certainly not 5 star fine dining, more 3/4 star at best but we always found something we liked on the menu. We didn’t eat in the bar but we did in the other 2 restaurants. Of these we preferred Wave for both the menu and the ambience. The paella with lobster was delicious. There is a reasonable choice of wine, including some decent french wine with prices on a par with what we’d pay in restaurants in UK. Some have said cost of drinks is expensive but we found prices to be pretty much in line with hotels in UK. If you’re on a tight budget there’s a happy hour 5-6pm with half priced cocktails. Staff were excellent, all very friendly and doing their best to please. A special mention for Gabrielle from Jakarta who went the extra mile each day at breakfast and the waiter from Mumbai in Wave who gave us very good service. If you want entertainment Benidorm style this is not for you. It’s predominately a couples based (no children!) resort for people who are here for a quiet relaxing break and not for Glenda from Doncaster crooning out I Will Survive on karaoke! We took a day trip into Victoria but for us it wasn’t worth the bother. Not a lot to see and a stench of fish - probably the tuna factory - all over town.
