Yasad Residence

We had a wonderful family holiday at Yasad — we were a large group so booked the two three bedroom apartments. The apartments are spacious, very clean and with great air-con. It was always a pleasure coming back to a cool clean apartment after a day exploring the island. The staff are very friendly, helpful and hardworking. The canoes were a real bonus — awesome to go paddling on a calm day to see the fish below. Was wonderful to cross the road to the little quiet beach in front to watch the sun rise and set. Preferable to have a rental car to be able to get to the shops and explore. I would highly recommend Yasad.

From the moment we booked, we had excellent communication with the owner. On the day of our arrival, Ms. Nora from Yasad contacted us and suggested preparing a local dinner – it was delicious. The property itself fully met our expectations. The apartment was clean, modern, and spacious. Ms. Nora provided us with daily advice and tips for our trips. We highly recommend Yasad Luxury Residence.

We (two adults and one 6y child) stayed in Yasad for three nights, apartment No. 4 – two bed rooms + living room and kitchen. The place is easy to reach from the airport with a bus stop just in front of the Residence. Although located just by the road, the road is quiet with almost no traffic. It is in walk distance from Les Rochers restaurant.
The rooms are clean with daily room service. Mainly the living room is a bid overcrowded by furniture. E. G. There were three bar chairs that you cannot access as there are blocked by benches to sit on while watching TV. The bar chairs could be dismissed with no harm to use the apartment. Some other furniture could be renovated. E. G. In the kitchen there was an attempt to inbuilt the washing machine but this was not very successful. Comment to Yasad: keep things simple and easy.
Car is parked safe behind the gate. Breakfast is a selection of fruits, eggs (omelettes), toasts, jam, cheese.
Although some criticism above, I rate the Yasad as excellent since after all you have the apartment just to oversleep and stay all the days out in nature and beaches.

Me and my family stayed here for 5 nights. It was a wonderful experience. We stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment and had a wonderful view and space for all 4 of us. Nora was nice and cooked for us in the last night. The hotel was kind of isolated so we decided to rent a car, but it was ok and it gave us a wonderful opportunity to explore the island (just be careful when you re driving because the roads are narrow). The beach was always high tyde in this time of the year so we couldn t use it. But with the car we explored more beaches at the hotel. The breakfast was basic. You could choose from different types of cooked eggs and pretty much that was it (repetitive and if u stayed here a lot u would get bored) but the fresh fruits were GREAT and the juices also so it was an overall ok :)

The position is perfect because just on the beach in the quietest part of the island. Fantastic sunset view! Assuming you have a car, you can go all around visiting Praslin amenities. Nora, is a fantastic host: beyond all the suggestions she gave, she organised even a super premium dinner for the seven of us. On top of it, given my wife forgot some clothes when we left, she sent the bag to La Digue before we came back to Mahe. That was an AMAZING service you cannot always expect apart from perfection in hotel management!

We spent 5 nights in one of the upper floor apartments. It was large and comfortable for our family of four, with a big kitchen and living room, a patio on the terrace facing on the beach, 3 rooms with 3 bathrooms. Despite the residence is located in a quite part of the island, with no facilities nearby, except for a nice restaurant on the beach,, it was the perfect location for us, as we had a rented car, shared with friends, hosted in a different apartment of the same residence.
If you have a car, you can decide to enjoy the calm and beauty of the small beach just in front of the residence (see pictures) or to start a tour for the Seychelles’ most famous beaches and attractions.
Nora is very gentle and welcoming. The first day she provided a very comprehensive induction on the island and she suggested how we could spend our days. One of the nights she prepared a delicious and healthy dinner for us, with fish, rice, curry vegetables and lentils.
The rooms have been well cleaned every day and the bed linens decorated with flowers exceeded our expectations 🌺

Beds were really comfortable, service was excellent. Ms Nora is fantastic and really kind. She is well known and respected on the island and had fantastic ideas for our holiday. Easy to get to with your own rental car and beach is nearby. Anse Lazio was about a 30-40min drive, a stunning clean beach. Would highly recommend.

The bungalow was great. Everything the pictures show; beautiful bedroom, cute little bathroom and a nice sized living room. But that’s not the best part of it! The best part is the manger, Nora Philoe. After almost 48 hours of travel that included missed flights and rude Turkish Airlines help desk workers, we arrived. Nora was in contact with us as our arrival times kept changing. She assured us that the bungalow would be ready. She was right. We let out a sigh of relief. But that was not the end of Nora’s magic. She offered us a home cooked meal, delicious, and when we could not get tickets off the island on the ferry, she whipped out her phone and did her magic and smoothed out all the wrinkles. Seychelles are beautiful and welcoming, but Nora, Nora is the kind of humanity and helpfulness that you can not find elsewhere in the world. Thank you Nora for everything you did to help make our stay in Seychelles magical.

The hotel was the perfect starting point of our paradise vacation. Even when we arrived early, Nora, the manager, took care of us. We stayed one week which was good to explore the island. Nora arranged some day-trips for us which made it even more comfortable for us. She also offered to cook dinner for us. The dish was very very good and I would recommend to make use of it. Our two-room-appartment was specious and well equipted. Even when the kitchen was a bit old, we did not miss anything. The staff team was also very kind and supportive. The breakfast was good, a bit more variety would be good though. I loved the fresh fruits. The beach, just across the street was our constant spot for the sunset, just amazing. Thank you Nora & Team.

Nora, the manager, was very kind. She cooked a wonderful dinner for us.
This cozy apartment is very close to a small beach… actually close to everything 😁
We loved this apartment very much!
Beds are comfortable, rooms are spacious, breakfast was also good.

We had a great time staying at Yasad — Nora was lovely and welcoming. The accommodation was clean, had air con (better in the bedroom than living room) and parking. It is opposite a small beach perfect for watching the sunset with great restaurants nearby!

I am writing to express my disappointment and frustration with the handling of my recent booking cancellation at your hotel.
Approximately two weeks ago, I contacted your establishment to cancel my reservation for pretty understandable reason. I was fully aware of the cancellation policy and was prepared to accept any penalty fees associated with my cancellation.
I must emphasize my disappointment with the lack of consideration and flexibility demonstrated by your management team. Despite providing ample notice and expressing my willingness to accept any penalties, I was met with a rigid refusal to accommodate my request.
Unfortunately, the response I received left much to be desired, as I was not provided with a satisfactory explanation for the denial of my cancellation request.
I understand the importance of adhering to policies and procedures, but I believe there should be room for discretion and compassion, especially given the circumstances.

My family and I went to Praslin and stayed at Yasad apartments. Norah was very polite and generous. I had a lovely experience at the beach opposite with kayaks. The restaurant down the road was lovely. Will definitely recommend and come back soon.
