I stayed at the Hilltop Carana after being in La Digue for a couple of days. The hotel is located, like the name states on a hilltop with a beautiful view of the oceanside. The hotel itself is a little outdated. My room was a fairly spacious but it could definitely use an update. What the hotel lacks is redeemed by the fantastic staff. Matthew handles the daily affairs of the hotel does a great job coordinating travel and tours. Rajah is a great chef, driver, housekeeper and very kind and accommodating. I looked forward to his breakfast and dinner. Ramas was also wonderful and made sure the hotel was clean. All the gentlemen wear many hats and do a fantastic job keeping the hotel in order. I truly enjoyed my stay here.

The property is simply amazing. Super clean rooms. Great view. Amazing service. Special mention to Mathew and Raj - very friendly and so happy to serve the hotel clients. The pool is clean, the sunset view is just 😍 from the hotel. I wish I had more days to stay in Seychelles to stay here, but definitely I shall book here when I plan Seychelles again.

This place is amazing! We stay there for 5 nights in a kind of double room (2adults& 2kids). The room was really clean. Big spaces and good hot water on the shower. When we arrive the manager give us all the advices we needed and he booked us the car for all the stay. The pool was amazing too, the kids enjoyed it a lot. The view having breakfast was breath taking. The breakfast is quite good, you can choose how do you want your eggs and the plate of fresh fruits was really welcomed. Even when we get back to Mahe in another hotel, the manager was helping us with our rental car. I recommend this hotel in the middle between Victoria en Beau Vallon. People working there were really kind! (I hope they will read this : thank you for all!!)

It was a nice hotel with good lounge, good breakfast and provision of good lunch and dinner. Bed room (we booked a superior double room) was nice although air conditioner was not that great. internet was average but acceptable. A nice balcony with nice view of rainforest and sea beach. A small swimming pool was also very nice.The added facility was that it had shared kitchen if want to cook. Overall nice experience and I would certainly to go back to Carana Hilltop if I happen to visit Seychelles again. Thanks to Mathew (manager of the hotel) was very welcoming and helpful.

The hotel has its own characteristics that may seem like disadvantages to some. But I chose the place precisely because of them :) 1. Small area, small pool, small number of rooms. There is no place for large parties or loud parties. And lizards run around from time to time. But a very clean pool, well-groomed area, light bulbs, chairs, hammocks. The rooms have good furniture, the tiles in the toilet and shower are all intact and clean. And there is Mimi the cat. Since the hotel is small, the staff treats it like their own home - with care and love. 2. Wild beach, to which you still need to go down the mountain. There are no sun loungers, no lifeguards - swim at your own risk. But there are almost no people there, and most importantly, there is almost no water transport. If a boat floats by, it is far from the shore and quite rarely. Those who love swimming and are confident in their abilities can safely swim further away. You can also take amazing photos on the rocks there. The surf and wind are strong, you can jump on the waves. 3. Staff. There are no nuances here, they are simply beautiful! They understand the inaccessibility of their hotel, so they offer transportation to the beach and the store. They are very polite, they will help if necessary, but they do not impose their attention. 4. The price includes breakfast, there is no buffet, but the standard set includes a lot of things for almost every taste. The fruits are fresh, 0.5 liters of coffee are brought at once, eggs will be prepared in any form. There is also toast with jam and delicious juice from the store. Dinner can be ordered separately from the fixed menu, the portion is large. Very nice and pleasant service, new dishes. 5. Awesome views, the hotel is surrounded by greenery, a light breeze blows - very comfortable even on the hottest day.

Villa on a hill with a gorgeous view! There is a free shuttle to the sea at any time upon request. The service is perfect! Very helpful staff. Raj and Matthew are great, kind guys! The Korana beach is excellent, uncrowded, clear turquoise water, beautiful views, entry into the sea is best from the Korana Beach hotel.

Thank you to Matthew and the villa staff for your attention and care! Matthew helped us purchase plane tickets for our return flight when Aeroflot canceled our flight from the island. Mahe 03/09/2022 The problem had to be resolved quickly, and tickets could not be paid for with our bank cards. Everything ended well. The help of the villa staff in a situation where the tires of a rented car went flat and we had to change the wheels was very significant for us. If it were possible, I would rate the villa 10 points.
