Six Senses Zil Pasyon

Honestly, this experience was one of a kind! Although the arrival was surreal via our private Helicopter ride; yet, something was missing during my stay! You’ll understand soon. The resort is lovely and not old enough, around seven years ago, and located on a very awesome Island called Felicity. Most of the staff are newly recruited, and honestly, most of them are the kindest people. However, I read the news later on and discovered what happened on that island a few months ago, and that was horrible!! Then I knew what it was missing: just a touch of renovation to revive the place, maybe new designs, events, food, etc. Otherwise, I would say that I had a below-normal experience in my first Six Senses Chain experience, especially since the previous resot was Anantara Maia, which was an unforgettable one. Finally, the Spa experience was the only activity I recommend, and it was entertaining and energetic. I appreciate your understanding. I hope that my reviews will help you to choose the right place!

We really love the hard product here. The island and hotel itself are beautiful. We loved Andrew, the GM, and thought he was great. However the value, food and service falls short. We found our GEM to be unfriendly, borderline hostile, and really were unsure what the point of her was besides upselling. Other service members were hit or miss. One would be phenomenal, another would make a two course meal two hours. The food is very expensive and not so good. They also clearly believe they aren't charging enough because we had to inquire and send back a check to receive a happy hour discount and had to fight to have $2000 of false charges on our end of stay bill (make sure to check the line items thoroughly, they'll fight you on it and claim its "food"). Pretty disappointing overall. It's gorgeous, but so are a lot of places in the Seychelles. For the cost per night, you have a lot of options, and I implore others to explore those.

The Six Senses surpassed all expectations, in all aspects and created a truly memorable trip. The room we had (villa 23) was beautiful. It had a wonderful view of the sunset and coco island but wasn't too far from the main building so we could walk to dinner. Each of the villas have their own pool and beautiful bathrooms with spectacular views. They feel completely private, you would think you're the only people on the island which we really enjoyed. We had lovely welcome amenities, and the team were AMAZING. We would return from breakfast to the room already cleaned and turn down was always spot on. The island itself is the real highlight, you don't share with any other resort and (if you're up for some hills) you can hike in the uninhabited part of the island. The beaches are spectacular, and often very quiet, the snorkelling amazing and the views from every corner so memorable. The island is quite hilly, between the main buildings and the villas, we enjoyed the challenge of the walk but there are also always golf buggies on hand and even if you are walking people will always stop and ask if you need a lift! We did the La Digue shuttle, which I'd highly recommend, and the day tour. The day tour was really special, the crew (Carlos and Nel) made it really bespoke and most importantly good fun. The spa is also really worth a visit, go and check out the infinity pool which can be hired for private use and is spectacular. We enjoyed every interaction with the whole island team, Sanjay was our GEM and was a superstar. On the day it rained, he sent us a rainy day schedule which we think is an amazing idea and included lots of indoor ideas of fun things to do. The ladies in the restaurant were all superstars! We loved our early morning breakfasts when the restaurant was quiet and we got completely spoilt. It was great to meet Jack, who is studying the turtles on the island, and we attended a nest excavation where we found one tiny trapped hatchling which we were able to release into the sea. There is a turtle whatsapp group set up, so you can know when any such activities are on-going. All the guys who worked with the water activities were lovely, happy to tell us about the wildlife and what Seychelle island life is really like. It is real barefoot luxury, with no pretences and Andy (the GM) is always around and adds to the fabulous personalities on the island. We are so grateful for a truly exceptional trip! Thank you to everyone :) Bhutan next!

We just finished a glorious 10 day honeymoon at this property and we can say it was the perfect location and property for our honeymoon. Starting with being met at the helicopter landing pad by Anton the Resort Manager along with a personalized golf cart greeting us made me think of Mr Roarke and Fantasy Island Our Villa (we stayed in #21) was spacious, comfortable and had spectacular views. It was very private and we felt like we could not see or hear any other guests in their villas scattered throughout the grounds. When we asked for a portable Bluetooth speaker for the pool and to take to beach with us Anton made it happen. The room also came equipped with a espresso maker and a milk frother so that was a lovely surprise as there are not enough luxury resorts equipping their rooms and villas with milk frother for those of us who love a good latte or cappucino. Our assigned GEM Fatira and Abdel as well as Rahgu who took care of our villa not to mention the amazing spa staff ensured that our stay was top notch. Alvin who did our rum tasting and wine tasting as well as served us during some of our special experience dinners will go far in life with his work ethic and personable approach to hospitality. The crew that worked the breakfast always met us with big smiles and a genuine attitude to start our days well. Of course there were some minor blips like undercooked poached eggs, over cooked steaks, not stocking cold water and towels in the La Digue boat trip (€50/each way per person) and a rude buggy driver guide on La Digue that was arranged by resort but frankly those were addressed promptly by staff and did not majorly impact our stay and experience—hey just training opportunities in my eyes. HIGHLY recommend this amazing resort!

Beautiful villa with fantastic views. We were very well looked after by the staff especially Fatira who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The spa was amazing. Lots of activities for families and couples. Very natural with lots of wildlife to see.
