Cerf Island Resort

This was the nicest room we have ever had on holiday. We had the furthest Villia up the hill. It was a steep walk, although we tended to choose it rather than getting the buggy up (which they will take you whenever you ask). The shower is outside completely - it was incredible. A huge spa bathtub - really nice (bubble bath not supplied wish I had thought of taking some). The sinks and mirror outside. It was so nice to get ready int his area, it felt like paradise. Arrival. We had some issues waiting for the boat - but we are chasing that up with our travel agents as it appeared they didn't pass on when we were due to arrive. When we got off the boat we were greeted with welcome drinks and given a talk about the island and resort. We then were given a tour around the resort. Information Very good. Details on the weather was up on the front desk everyday. Excursions - I wish details on prices were on the website prior to our booking so we could budget. These were the costs when we were there: --＞snorkeling in St Anne Marine park 525 SCR - this is one hour when you want to go. We didn't do it due to the weather (also a reef safari 130 euro wed, fri, sun ) --＞Moyenne island 250 SCR - best trip - totally worth it. If the waves are high the boat can't stop on the beach (there is no jetty) so worth if you are going in August doing at the first chance you can. The dinner at Jolly Roger was brilliant and well worth it - entertainment was good too. --＞Praslin & La Digue - 225 euro mon & thurs. I relaly wanted to do tis but 22 weeks pregnant everyone was saying not to due tot he waves. This year the waves were so high in August we didn't chose against it. --＞ there is a trip back to Mahe once a day you can get for free I think 9:30 and back at 5 Activities Snorkeling - some within swimming distance - the water was too rough when we were there though Kayaks - we didn't due to the strong currents. we would have loved to have gone out to the close by island at low tide when you can walk to the next island. You can see this though from the helipad. Helipad - sunrise isn't great as there are trees in the way, but sun set if the weather is good will be visible as you look out to Mahe - and there is a nice bench to sit on. You can't walk around the island anymore. you can go along the beach a but further at low tide to the next hotel but only for a short period before the tude comes in. So it si rather isolated and therefore an ideal place for several days rather than longer. There aren't many villas on the island so not much of a vibe. Also this is due to were the internet is and lack of entertainment/cost of drinks at the bar. After dinner most people are in reception as it is the only place with wifi (getting a local sim card wasn't possible when we arrived on a sunday - the needed shops were not open). Food It was really good. Staff remembered who you were, what villia you were in. Really good customer service.

Our weekend on Île aux Cerfs was exactly what we needed — peaceful, fun, and full of beautiful memories. The island itself is absolutely stunning, with turquoise waters, soft white sand, and breathtaking views in every direction. I visited with my children, and we all had a wonderful time. The boat ride to the island was smooth and scenic, and the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by friendly staff and a relaxed island atmosphere. We spent the day swimming, exploring, and simply enjoying time together. The resort was quiet and clean, which made our stay peaceful and relaxing. However, it could improve a lot in certain areas — especially in terms of service efficiency and activity options for guests. Lunch at the beach restaurant was good, but there’s still room to enhance the overall dining experience and attention to details. Despite that, the beauty of the place, the calm environment, and those special family moments made it a memorable getaway. I would still recommend Île aux Cerfs for families or anyone looking for a serene island escape surrounded by natural beauty.

The place was very relaxing n beautiful. But if u have fear for lizards n all . Then it’s not a place for u. Plus the staff is not very accommodating. A few of them are but not all. Very laid back attitude.

It's was wonderful experience as usual. So peaceful... the staff are very friendly and well organised... they are very helpful. The villa was well kept... spacious... keep up the great work team
