Mango House Seychelles, LXR Hotels & Resorts

Beautiful Property, Great Amenities… but Food Falls Short We recently stayed at Mango House Seychelles, LXR Hotels & Resorts and came away with a genuinely mixed experience. On the positive side, the location and overall setting are exceptional. The views are absolutely stunning, and the property itself is beautifully designed. The Soley pool area and the main house—with its multiple restaurants—are standout features and create a great atmosphere throughout the day and evening. The on-site activities are a real strength. Having snorkeling, kayaking, and other options right there on the property adds a lot of value and makes it easy to enjoy the island without needing to venture far. We stayed in the Ocean House with our own plunge pool, and that massively elevated the experience—highly recommended if you’re considering an upgrade. Service was another mixed bag. The staff were generally friendly, welcoming, and responsive, which made a noticeable difference throughout our stay. A special mention to Samia & Rima for going above and beyond. But a special warning about one of the most obnoxious and annoying waitresses I’ve ever come across. I’ll avoid using her name but you’ll know it’s her immediately with her unfunny inappropriate attempts at humor. She came close to totally ruing our sushi dinner experience. Where the experience fell short was the food. Across the various restaurants, it was consistently underwhelming relative to the quality of the resort. The nigiri at the sushi restaurant was very good, but the rolls were disappointing. Breakfasts were just okay—nothing memorable. The one standout dish during our stay was the tuna burger at the Soley pool, which was excellent. Overall, Mango House delivers on location, design, and experience, but the dining offering doesn’t quite match the rest of the property. With some improvement in the food, this could easily be a top-tier stay. Thankfully you’re got the outstanding pineapple cabana restaurant 2 minute walk from the resort which can make this the complete resort experience.

Mango House LXR Seychelles delivered one of the most memorable hotel experiences we’ve ever had — and we travel a lot as a family. From the moment we arrived, we were met with exceptional warmth and care, and the level of service throughout our stay was simply outstanding. During our visit, one member of our family fell ill, and the staff went above and beyond in every possible way to support us. Their kindness and genuine concern made a difficult situation so much easier. A special thank you to Anna and Michael at breakfast, along with the incredible chef, who took such great care of us. Thomas at the bar kept us entertained and smiling all day long, and Boniface (“Jambo”) is truly one of the kindest souls we’ve ever met. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning. The design is top-notch, with beautifully styled rooms, gorgeous pool areas, and an infinity pool overlooking the bay that is simply breathtaking. There’s also a charming small private beach to the side — magical, even if a bit tricky for swimming. We also loved the thoughtful touches like complimentary juices during the day and a lovely happy hour in the afternoons. If we had to mention one small downside, it would be that the dinner options didn’t fully live up to the price level. But honestly, that’s the only minor note in an otherwise flawless stay. This is truly a hidden gem. Don’t miss it — we will definitely be back!

We would like to extend our sincere compliments to the Front Office team at Mango House for such a warm and memorable welcome. A special thank you to Josie, Rachel, Ingrid, Rina, Karen, and Miriam for your outstanding professionalism, kindness, and incredible attention to detail. During breakfast Anna & Michael at the Muse restaurant with their genuine hospitality and willingness to go the extra mile truly created a wonderfully relaxing and seamless guest experience for us. A heartfelt thank you as well to Samia at the security gate for her warm and welcoming presence upon arrival, which immediately set the tone for our stay. And finally, our appreciation to Harun for kindly taking the time to give us a tour of the resort , it was a thoughtful gesture and a great introduction to this beautiful property. Your collective efforts did not go unnoticed and truly made our stay extra special. Thank you all for your exceptional hospitality.

As a US citizen, traveling to the Seychelles is an arduous trek! From my home base on west coast the trip took about 36 hours elapsed time each way (give or take an hour or three), from takeoff to touchdown (four flights). It was totally WORTH IT! Mango House is a lovely property! Just five years young or so at this point. And intimate! A boutique venue with 41 rooms or so. I was looking for a set-it-and-forget-it vacation, and Mango House fit the bill! The only time I left the resort during my weeklong stay was to grab a bite to eat at a restaurant just outside the gate (Pineapple Cabana). The staff was wonderful. EVERY single member of the Mango team went out of their way to make me feel welcomed (too many stars to name)! From the general manager to housekeeping! I had an oceanview king room, which was spectacular! It was contained in a 3-unit villa -- one down, two up. So there were a few stairs to climb to get to this lovely perch! The use of various materials in construction were aesthetically pleasing! Wood, glass, natural stone tile -- all made for a luxurious stay! And large! Oh, my! I wish I could live there! About the only things I could remotely complain about were the weather (it rained about half the time I was there) and the room view being largely obscured by beautiful palm trees. Oh, and while the food was certainly exceptional, it comes with a rather hefty price tag, which is why I enjoyed a few meals off-property. In closing, the Mango House is a definite bucket-list checker. You will be wise to consider staying there if Seychelles is on your dream list!

This is the second time we have stayed at Mango House. This time it was a shorter visit, but we couldn’t miss a stop here during our trip to the Seychelles. It’s a boutique hotel that we truly love, with everything you need to feel comfortable and relaxed. The benefits for Hilton Honors Diamond members are excellent. I’m writing this review to thank and praise Mrs. Miriam for her outstanding service, as well as Mrs. Ingrid, who once again warmly welcomed us at check in. Thank you very much for everything, and see you next time. Marco

A wonderful 8 days in this little slice of heaven. Mango House captures you from the start with Rachel and the reception team’s incredibly warm welcome and the relaxed and cosy environment. More boutique hotel than Hilton but all the professionalism you expect and delightful touches in decor and ambience. People, food and service all 5 stars. The odd blip on waiting time and portion control - one little pita with lunch kebab a bit odd - but otherwise cannot fault it. Joshua, Alysha and the crew at Soley you are first class.
