L Escale Resort Marina & Spa

Disappointing Stay Despite a Promising Start – L’Escale Resort Marina & Spa, Seychelles. We stayed at L’Escale Resort over Easter, hoping to create special family memories. Upon arrival, the experience began on a positive note—check-in was smooth, and the reception staff were friendly and helpful. The resort itself has an elegant, modern design and initially gave off the impression of a true luxury getaway. We paid USD 8382 (plus 600 for extra bed) for 6 nights. However, things quickly took a turn once we entered our room. The lighting control panel was partially broken—only one of the three panels worked. Several lights didn’t function at all, and a power socket panel was damaged. While the rest of the room looked clean and comfortable, these maintenance issues were disappointing for a resort of this caliber. The following morning, we encountered more problems. Our key card suddenly stopped working after breakfast. We were told this might be because it had been near a phone, which seems like a weak excuse for what is likely a system issue. Unfortunately, this was only the beginning of our frustrations with hotel service and infrastructure Disappointing Stay Despite a Promising Start – L’Escale Resort Marina & Spa, Seychelles We stayed at L’Escale Resort over Easter, hoping to create special family memories.

Unfortunately, this was only the beginning of our frustrations with hotel service and infrastructure. Calling the reception from our room rarely worked—no one answered, and even leaving a message led to nothing. I had to physically walk to the front desk just to place a room service order. After being assured the food was “coming in a few seconds,” we ended up waiting 90 minutes for just four Caesar salads and one spaghetti Bolognese. For a 5-star resort, this level of delay is simply unacceptable. Overall, while L’Escale Resort looks beautiful and has the potential to be an excellent luxury destination, it’s let down by poor maintenance, weak systems, and extremely slow service. Sadly, what started as a promising family holiday turned into a frustrating experience. Calling the reception from our room rarely worked—no one answered, and even leaving a message led to nothing.

Een zeer leuk hotel met een huiselijke en rustige sfeer. Ideale plek om de batterijen op te laden. Prachtig uitzicht over de jachthaven. Indrukwekkende wellness, heel lekker eten, attent personeel, ligstoelen, zwembad, bar,.. allemaal van zeer hoge kwaliteit.

Everything perfect but service in the restaurant is very bad. Very small and nice hotel. Cool pool and perfect rooms. Very comfortable beds. But restaurant has very small menu and not everything stuff gave us correct. Waiting in restaurant is about 30 minutes

Excellent service, delicious food with valentine, dynis, Hillary, Michel and chef Juan.. Dinner well spent will definitely visit again.. Chapeau to all staff at lescale especially chef Juan for the tasty meal. Highly recommend lescale

Very nice resort. Peaceful environment. Shana was exceptionally pleasant. She is very knowledgeable and helpful! The traditional shrimps and fish curry was amazing. We had a great family day at the lescale resort and spa. Will definitely be back!

It was an amazing experience good food , and Ms Shana took care of us and our little one. The front office team were also super welcoming. The fish and prawn curry is a must have when visiting😉 The pool and fish and chips were the highlight for my son!
