Cerf Island Resort

Stayed for a few days at Cerf Island Resort. It was a marvelously relaxing place with great staff and lots of activities to do. Snorkeling above a reef just by the resort's beach was amazing and stuffing myself on the really very good food was a delight. The staff are fabulous too. Nothing is too much trouble. They even gave a giant tortiose as a guest. 😁

The resort offered everything I expected from a tropical destination - an exotic ambiance, tranquil setting, and secluded, yet not isolated, location. All of the staff went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. The food exceeded my expectations, both during breakfast and dinner time. One of my favorite things ended up being the boat transfers on request to the nearby smaller islands, so there were plenty of places to explore during my stay. The villas are cosy, charming, and most importantly, comfortable (a canopy bed is always a great touch).

My husband and I stayed at Cerf for the first week of our honeymoon. The island really is a slice of paradise, so beautiful and tranquil. The staff at Cerf were absolutely brilliant and the service was friendly and personal, nothing was too much, and they even let me borrow some bite cream until I could buy my own! Prakash was absolutely excellent, letting us know of the available activities on the day we arrived, booking the trip that we wanted to do and arranging for the boat to take us to Eden Island when we needed to venture off Cerf. The rooms/cabins themselves were spacious and clean and contained everything you might need re. tea/coffee facilities. We booked a couple's massage with Suri and Erika (sorry if I've spelt either of those incorrectly!) which was complete bliss and money well spent. Overall the resort was quiet during our stay, although it is by no means a big commercial place anyway, and the perfect getaway we needed for our honeymoon. For those who like to be outdoors, we would recommend trekking across the island at low tide to view the beach on the other side. We would also highly recommend the Reef Tour with Mason's Travel with a stop at Moyenne Island to see the giant tortoises - such a great day out! The only things that were missing for us were that you had to pay to get wifi in the rooms and that the menu was not all that varied if you were staying there for more than a week. Dinner was a set menu that you had to choose from during the day but the restaurant would cook something from the main menu if there was nothing you liked. Otherwise, our stay at Cerf Island Resort was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet Island getaway for their holiday or honeymoon.

Very nice stay! The rooms are spacious, the staff is very kind and accommodating. Beautiful place for good rest and fun activities. We stayed a full week and we could enjoy the facilities : kayak, snorkelling, stand up paddles, the 2 pools and the 2 beaches

We spent amazing holidays in cerf island resort thanks to the very kind and professional staff and best manager of Seychelles : Mr Prakash. The hotel is wonderful and located in one of the best area! You can find a great snorkeling spot in front and on the left of the reception Melanie and Pierre

Good stay at the hotel, welcoming and very helpful staff. Extraordinary setting, incredible panoramic view of the island of MAHÉ. Many excursion opportunities to visit the Seychelles Islands. The Seychelles are very welcoming and kind.

We stayed at the Cerf Island Resort for one night in February and we had such a wonderful experience. The team was very friendly and helpful. The grounds were well kept, welcoming and peaceful. The villa was absolutely amazing. We will definitely go back.

Our third 7-nights stay at this resort, after 7 years. It instantly felt like being back home in paradise, with a sense of belonging :) Everything stayed pretty much the same. All room facilities are functioning perfectly well. I forgot how special the open bathroom is - talking showers while looking at the moon or flying fruit bats or while it rains. Excellent cooking and enough choices at both dinner and breakfast in my opinion, but from the staff constantly asking for feedback I suspect they are quite willing and, more importantly, prepared to accommodate the demands of harder-to-please customers. Overall, real customer-oriented stuff - for example, with all that blue surrounding us, we somehow forgot that breakfast starts at 8 and one day managed to pop up at the restaurant shortly after 7. One of the waiters was there and his reaction was to run and alert everyone needed so that we can have breakfast in just a few minutes (which we choose not to, just came back later). It is here on our previous visits where we first snorkeled and while it was a great experience for us, we didn't spend so much time on it then & didn't have much to compare to. This time we left no stone unturned, so to speak. So much to see, more than we hoped for. Hawksbill turtles, eagle & sting rays, reef sharks, starfish, many species of healthy corals teeming with life: almost all the usual suspects, plus species we never spotted before elsewhere, ie. lots of snipefish and a big school of diamondfish and many beautifully colored sea slugs (Phyllidia coelestis, I think). Lots of fun everyday with a group of very friendly and curios spadefish, bigger than we've ever seen before. Bottom line, this reef is really good and big enough to not get bored of it in one week. Please make sure you don't miss the incredible views from the heliport up the hill. We ended up going there every day. Pedal boats are not available anymore, but learned that kayaks are way easier to manipulate to circle the island and roam through the lagoon. Special thanks to Mr. Prakash and his colleague at the reception, as they are able to sort everything out in a very laid-back manner. We'll be back! :)
