JA Enchanted Island Resort Seychelles

We wanted to find a resort to escape the world for a few days, one that gave us privacy with our own pool and yet personal attention that ensured we could do nothing more than unwind and relax - JA Enchanted Island didn't disappoint! Transfer from Mahe by boat to the Island was excellent. The Villa's and the view from them is breathtakingly beautiful and yet each villa is afforded total privacy from the others. Considering the bathrooms are all outside its a good thing! The Villa's are spacious and comfortable, the beds are huge and linen clean and luxurious. We would say the best feature of all is the team, they really couldn't do enough for us and were super attentive at breakfast and dinner. David's cocktails at the sundowner were epic! There are a couple of minor issues that didn't spoil our time at this wonderful resort but worth mentioning. The Seychelles government rightfully have declared all beaches public, we like the fact no beach is owned by a hotel and Seychellois can enjoy them as much as the tourists. This did mean the beaches below the villa's can be busy with day-trippers from Mahe. A couple of times the music coming from the beach was a little unreasonable and the waft of BBQ smoke drifting around our villa not ideal. Second point was there was a mix up in communicating allergies to the Chef which Neeraj did try his very best to fix, but only got GF bread on the last day. Overall the standard of food was acceptable, but didn't stand up to some of the other hotels we stayed in Mahe.
