We had an amazing stay at Story Resort. The beach in front of the resort is beautiful and the pool and facilities are all extremely clean and in good condition. The staff were amazing, extremely nice, good humoured and happy to help. We hired a car that was delivered to the resort, very easy for seeing the rest of the island and exploring other beaches. Breakfast was delicious, a fantastic buffet and some of the restaurants and bars on the resort property are both convenient and also great! If you want a true resort experience on an amazing beach, we would 100% recommend.

This place is a little gem in The Seychelles - the overall experience was excellent. We arrived at 8.30 am into our booked hotel The Fisherman’s Cove which is their sister hotel. We were informed that due to overbooking we had been moved next door into Storeys and had been upgraded to a Junior Suite - they asked us if were happy with this situation and we of course said yes. We were then transported next door and given a voucher for breakfast because our Suite wasn’t ready - we were told by Reception that ‘normally’ check in was 3 pm - here lies a problem as far as I am concerned - most flights to The Seychelles arrive early in the morning so I was a little surprised that they don’t prepare for this but nevertheless the suite was done quickly and we duly unpacked and settled in. This place is nothing short of amazing - from the extremely well kept gardens to the incredible staff who run this place - hats off to the owners - your staff are simply the best. We were HB which suited us - breakfast was good although a little uphazard at times - they ran out of glasses, cutlery quite regularly only to be topped up and within 5 minutes all disappeared. The food was absolutely fine with a good choice of cereals and cooked food which you ordered from the menu. We were allowed to take a pastry and some fruit for later in the day and even given a container for it. Dinner was also very good - different theme nights and also another 3 restaurants that you could dine at with an allowance of 45E each - yes they were expensive but so worth it. Drinks on the whole were a little pricey but there is a well stocked supermarket across the road where if you wished you could buy provisions. The Hotel is situated right on the beach which was lovely and the pool area also very good. They have a system with the towels which other Hotels should take note off - the towels arrive at 10 am and are handed out so none of these hogging sun beds first thing in the morning - if sun beds looked unoccupied for a long time then again this was sorted by the staff - no messing ! Now for our special thanks to certain members of staff - firstly Ranjith K who cleaned our room every single day - very professional and was always keen to make sure we were happy - secondly Abdul who worked in the restaurant - again extremely polite and always eager to help - Niege who works in Customer Relations who managed to allow us to keep our room for the day as our departure wasn’t until 8.30 pm from the hotel and normal check out is 11 am - it made such a difference to our last day - our very special thanks go to Faridah who worked mostly behind the bar always with a ready smile and extremely friendly - this lady in our opinion went above and beyond and I would hope that she is recognised for her very hard work. All in all I would highly recommend this Hotel and we will definitely be back

Story is gorgeous and in the perfect location! We could not stop saying how amazing everything was! Sitting in the pool with the beach on inside and mountains on the other felt magical. The sand is perfect and so is the water. Definately one of the prettiest locations we have ever stayed at. The staff was absolutely incredible. Everyone we passed said hello and were friendly. Our favorites were the lobby bar staff! The food at Eden was amazing. Trader Vic’s was good. Breakfast was also very good. There are a few other restaurants and shops which are walkable outside the hotel and we felt very safe. The hotel has a ton of free activities like kayaking and guided snorkeling. There are so many places to stay in Mahe, but Story should truly be at the top of your list! This is what you look for when going to the Seychelles! It was just look a magazine.

Everything was as promised. We stayed at the villa with own pool and beach view, but public pool area was also great. Staff was very nice, polite and helpful. Many restaurants in the hotel area. Gym was well-equipped. They also have many activities every day like snorkeling tours and volleyball. Could definitely come back again. 😊
