Был там, не советую Been there, don't recommend

Returned yesterday. Let's start with the country. Seychelles - live as under socialism. They announced perestroika in November last year. Apparently stuck. The main drawback is the laziness of the locals. And there's nothing you can do about it. (The words of a local guide who lived there for 16 years). They are so good, why even strain. No money - caught fish, sold, bought rice. Fruit grows overhead all year round. This I mean that people in the hotel do not know how to work. Starting from the fact that to the request to bring at least some towels to the room - they answer "tomorrow", to the request that I broke a glass in the room - there is glass on the floor - let me remove the broom - they - wait, but never they come on this day, and ending with the fact that during lunch they poured something over us 5 times, dropped appliances on the floor, brought diluted juices and soups)) Food is a separate conversation)) The hotel has 2 restaurants: Italian and Chinese. The Chinese one often did not work, and if it did work, they served reluctantly, because the local waitresses (90 kg in weight) were completely lazy in the heat. In the Italian restaurant you could eat pizza (burnt) and pasta. Soups there are diluted with water and it is generally dangerous to eat them. . But everything would be fine if there was an alternative: but it is NOT. There is nowhere else to eat. There are a dozen small shops in the village, but not a single cafe. In the capital of the Seychelles - we generally found one restaurant. The country is not for tourists. And since lunch is not included in the price (and cannot be included, because the canteen is closed during the day) - and there is nowhere else to eat - I had to eat in an Italian restaurant with a meager and very expensive menu for 10 days in a row. By the way, breakfast in the canteen costs $30. Now about the beach: on the territory of the hotel, according to the Seychelles themselves, the best beach on Mahe. And it is. Its length is 2 km. The sea is very clean and warm. BUT: some small animals or jellyfish swim in the water, not visible to the eye. After 10 minutes of being in the water - I was all bitten / stung by them. The next day, the whole body itched like after being bitten by 100 horseflies. Blyamby 1 cm in diameter covered the whole body, although I am not allergic at all. This was the first day, and the last 2. The rest of the days the sea was great. About the currency)) Generally pipets. At the hotel, the rate is 9.98 rupees for $ 1. All invoices are issued in dollars. I first paid at the extortionate rate. Then somehow I went to the city, bought something, found out that the exchange rate was 14. I exchanged rupees in the city and paid in rupees, which they accepted with sour faces, because paying in dollars I overpaid 40%! I haven't seen anything like this yet)) By feeding HB. Breakfast is the same as everywhere else, nothing special. Just not a rich choice, except for scrambled eggs, cheese and ham, you won’t take anything. Well, buns. For dinner, the menu is richer, but sometimes there is nothing to choose from either. They had to either beg for fruit, or for good luck they still put out one tray, which scattered in a minute)) I had to go to the city for local mangoes, which are 2 times smaller than Thai ones and not very ripe. There is no need to rent a car, because there is nowhere to go))) Yes, NO WHERE! Take a tour for 70 euros around the island (review). I regretted 10 times that I went)) They just forgot about us and after waiting 40 minutes I called the travel agency, they said wait. After another 20 minutes, a car arrived, which took us to the bus, which at that time looked at the capital)) But I didn’t call - and they wouldn’t remember)) But they took the advance payment regularly) About fishing)) I ordered fishing, how - seychelles and not go fishing )) 800 euros for a small boat per day. We went out to sea - and there are waves)) We go along the waves - and the storm intensifies. The boat bounced and fell into the water with a terrible roar. In general, they chatted so that I almost threw up. On the way we saw another ship with tourists, their motor broke down. Come take it in tow. And this is along the waves)) We caught 2 small fish and went swimming. We were fed this fish there. In general, after Thailand, the Maldives, Bintan (Singapore) and Bali - the Seychelles are like a thorn in the tourist's eye)) There is no service, no attractions, no food, no entertainment, no good hotels. And this is for a lot of money. Pleased only with the sea, in which everyone was bitten, and not a stuffy climate in the evenings. In general, tourist guys, I do not advise the country. The hotel is in a good location, despite all its shortcomings.
