Location was pretty close to a lot of activities and food. Hotel was very clean. For the most part up to date. Didn't have any issues during our stay. Definitely recommend this place.

Our host was amazing, location was close to everything, next door to Schooners. The NYE fireworks were outside our 17th floor balcony, so cool.

My gamily and I stayed in room 705. It is in the perfect location. The floor is not to high and not too low. The views are stunning and the overall resort is not overwhelming. It is next to Schooner anc lose to other restaurants and activities.

We loved the location and the size was perfect for the 3 of us. The view was awesome. There are 2 pools, side by side. 1 hot tub. Walking access to the beach, and our stay came with 2 beach chairs and umbrella for the week. Downfall: our refrigerator didn't work. We lost all of our food day 2 because we were not aware of the issue. We messaged for 2 more days before they sent someone to look at it. They couldn't fix it, so we had to continue to message until they brought us a temporary fridge. Only to go grocery shopping and place our groceries into the replacement FREEZER. We were told it was a refrigerator, and we woke up to everything frozen. That was our last full day so at that point we didn't bother to message again. We were refunded a small amount it was just inconvenient to not have safe food to eat in the condo. There was 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom, with no backup, as well as no paper towels on the paper towel holder in the kitchen. Only 1 backup trash bag. For a week+ trip, that was not enough. We had no problem purchasing our own, but we weren't aware of it before our 1st grocery trip. Just inconvenient to have to purchase those necessities on vacation.

We loved staying at Seychelles resort. It was a very family friendly area. We appreciated the restaurant next door It made eating out extra enjoyable. It was also out of the hustle and bustle of the PCB area, but close enough if you wanted to go to putt putt or other attractions you could. Our room (1208) was very clean, and had everything we needed. Our room also came with a set of beach chairs and an umbrella. Though we didn't swim in them the pool area was nice! Pleasant music around the pool, and daily snow cones. Such a nice place to stay.
