CHEZ BATISTA
Finished the time when, on Takamaka's small beach, Batista Horter just made fish under his boats. The success of the hotel is now in the biznes, owner of several bungalows, which he planted around his rustic restaurant, distorting the beauty of the site. There is no less to eat, feet in the sand and under a large boats, a fire kitchen that honours especially seafood products. Although prices have risen, the Mahélois continue to relax on Sunday, around the Creole (350 SR) buffet, rich with twenty-five dishes and in music, this feast extending beer in hand and on the airs of séga. An end to banquet in Seychelles, while the marmaille plays on the beach or in the waves. In the week, you can be used on takamaka tables, whether it be a lawyer or miniature salad salad, a ginger crab or shark steak, a fish, an octopus or a grilled lobster. Not given, but one can also settle for a fresh fruit juice of papaya, passion, pineapple, lime… The dishes are good without being exceptional in the light of the price, the best choice for a simple drink or buffet, because this is the framework you pay.
Sad Part :
1. We booked a so called 'Senior suite' at a premium rates. The suite was nothing shorter of a storage place for old used & unwanted furniture. Old soggy wood smelling termites.
2. No hot water, No room service, No WiFi in the rooms (Only in the balcony).
3. Room was badly lit.
4. Very low pressure for water.
5. Tub was there but had no drain seal. (Cant use)
6. No blankets.... And the justification they give is 'Seychelles is hot' on insisting at 1 am they provided an unlaundered used blanket.
Good Part:
1. Nice restaurant.
2. Tasty food
3. Good restaurant staff.
4. Awesome location.
Most sad part:
Overall management is bit rude. The front office is not at all helpful. I never got 50 SCR back from 200 SCR i had given for 150 SCR tax as the front office lady was not present there.
Checked-out a day early wasting a day of tariff as the vibe was very depressing due to all these things.
Pictures are deceiving. The pool in way smaller than it looks from the pictures.
