Six Senses Zil Pasyon

I dont write long reviews but a few notes for this spot. Known for their spa, you need to go at least once it’s epic. If you can, get a room with Western exposure. We were in villa 17 and it’s a 20 minute walk, so you need a buggy everytime, small issue for a near perfect spot. Recommend to definitely rent a boat, try with another couple if possible as its about $1,000 for four hours, but getting to see other islands and snorkeling (good at the hotel) is much better in other spots. Another small issue is there are only certain days that certain activists are given, make sure you spend time on coordinating what you want to do, as we missed a few things and we were there four nights. Food is very good, I would recommend the full board. Breakfast is slightly above average, but lunches and dinners were excellent. Hamburger (of all things) was very good. Make sure you let your waiter know if you want rare or med rare on steaks that they understand, this was a small issue. Caprese salad was ok, soft shelled crab with papaya was excellent. Steak tartare excellent. Fish of the day, excellent. Tiramisu was a bit below average, coconut parfait was the best dessert by far, ice cream sub par. Gym is also very good with a spectacular view, which was cool. Makes sure you have a cocktail at sunset, perfect setting. Two comments for management. If you take a boat ride tip in cash, if you tip on the bill the boat staff does not get the tip, weird. And this was the worse WiFi connection of the 8 properties we stayed at, very frustrating, they need to address this, you cant be the best hotel in the Seychelles and have the worst WiFi, not at the prices you pay.

Beautiful resort, very private, special thanks to the General Manager, Anton, who was always on premises, making sure everything is done right. Clear water, lots of untouched nature, friendly staff, most obviously, excellent management. Thank you, Anton!

This island has to be the most stunning island we have ever visited and had the pleasure of staying on again! The resort has been extremely well thought out and fits perfectly in this amazing location. From the minute we stepped off the helicopter we were just blown away by the beauty of this island. We had booked a panorama suite which had everything we required with spectacular sea views. The villas are spacious and beautifully appointed. The bathrooms are amazing with a swing seat and huge shower area. The resort offers a very prompt buggy service if you don’t wish to walk the hilly pathways. The views from this resort are to die for. This is the ultimate chill in luxury holidays - you can snorkel, cayak and paddle board, and there is a twice weekly shuttle to La Digue island - also a must - chargeable. There is the most special evening hillside sunset for two - which is a must. Champagne and canapés are served as you take in the breathtaking vista. We felt like we were the only people on the island sitting in this most magical location - can’t recommend highly enough and thank you to Anton for organising it for us. We would certainly do it again. The food served from the two restaurants is really good and there is a plan in place to lift the food choice/quality to a higher level which we think it will certainly benefit from. The staff are super and all so friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. A special mention to Fatira our GEM, and also to Daniel and Ricky our buggy drivers who were really interesting and entertaining. We had an amazing stay and I just hope it’s not too long until we can make our third visit.

Just back from the most relaxing week at Six Senses Zip Pasyon, my GEM Vladimir was simply the best, each day he checked in to help make any arrangements from dinner, to spa to sunset viewing.... Without having to ask I was offered a studio room access with complimentary breakfast on arrival to fresh up and rest - given my villa check in time was 2pm, same courtesy on departure villa offered for late checkout. The staff were amazing super attentive, very welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend a visit. I would definitely visit again

What a warm welcome by the team of Six Senses upon setting foot on the island. A good start indeed. Thereafter our Butler took us to our villa, which was spacious withh lots of privacy. The furniture and the floors looked a bit worn, but overall a great place with all the amenities to be expected. Food and service were overall very good, but prices for wine on the rather high side. Coming from the Raflles on Praslin island, which is also a luxury hotel, there seems to be a 50% top-up for wine prices at Six Senses. Also enjoyed a great massage at the Spa. Some complimentary Yoga classes took place at 9.00-9.45. After a shower and the transport by buggy to the breakfast, it was 10.15. Given that the buffet closes at 10.30, this felt like a unnecessary rush. We told the team that Yoga should be at 8.30 or the breakfast should be open until 11 o‘clock. Hope that they listen to this feedback. Overall we enjoyed our time in the Six Senses, even though we felt that ancillary prices were on the very high side. Just because the guest can afford the hotel, doesn‘t necessarily mean that you can overcharge on everything else.
