Cerf island - all beaches

This beach was the starting point of our journey in Seychelles and where we celebrated my boyfriend's 30th birthday. I was incredibly impressed by this experience, which is definitely not something you come across every day, and is definitely a must-do if you're seeking unique and off-the-beaten-path adventures. The villas are situated on Cerf, an unspoiled island in front of Mahè. We met Michel at the port who then took us to the villa on a small boat. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Christine. Both of them were extremely kind, and we absolutely loved the meals she cooked for us. We also had a blast exploring the island using the free kayaks available at the resort. My boyfriend couldn't have asked for a better birthday celebration. He truly appreciated everything. I'm already counting down the days until we can return.

I would rate it five stars, but the snorkeling experience on the beach was disappointing. The water was murky and visibility was poor. We decided to visit Surf Island Resort, just a 10-minute walk along the beach, where the water was crystal clear and inviting. Compared to other establishments, the exchange rate was not very competitive, with 1 dollar equaling 13.4 instead of the 14.2 offered elsewhere. Natalie, the receptionist, could work on smiling more often. On a positive note, the view from our balcony was stunning, the room was spacious, and the basic breakfast was adequate. The garden was beautifully maintained.
