Seychelles Paradise: Your Dream East Horizon Apartment Awaits!
Seychelles Paradise: Your Dream East Horizon Apartment Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the swirling turquoise waters of the Seychelles, specifically, the shimmering promise of "Seychelles Paradise: Your Dream East Horizon Apartment Awaits!" And believe me, after spending ages trying to decipher this hotel's… everything, I have opinions. Let's get messy and real.
First off, let's be clear: this ain't just a review, it's a declaration. I’ve seen the website, I've read the hotel descriptions, and now, I'm here to tell you the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me Google Maps.
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag, Probably
Alright, accessibility. This is always the trickiest part, isn’t it? The description mentions "Facilities for disabled guests," which is vague. Then there is the mention of an "Elevator." But let's be honest, they should be a lot more specific. I’m betting it’s not a perfect experience for every single accessibility need. It’s the kind of place where you might want to double-check before you book, especially if mobility is a big factor. On the plus side, the sheer spectacle of the location – the idea of sunrise over the East Horizon – is enough to make me think, even if things are a bit challenging, it might be worth it. Potential for pain-in-the-butt moments? Probably. But the reward could be epic.
On-Site Goodies: Food, Fun, and the All-Important "Relaxation"
This is where things get interesting. They boast about:
- Restaurants: Plural! A la carte, buffet, international and (praise the heavens) a vegetarian restaurant. Good for those of us who like to eat… well, not just meat all the time.
- Bars: Poolside bar and a plain old "Bar." Gotta have that cocktail, right? Essential for the relaxation part…
- Ways to Relax: Oh, lord, where to begin? They have a fitness center, a gym, a pool with a view, a sauna, a spa. The sauna is particularly tempting. Then there are the body scrubs and body wraps. I'm getting visions of myself completely draped in seaweed, and I am absolutely here for it.
- Things to Do: Not explicitly stated, but you're in the Seychelles! Beaches, snorkeling, looking at ridiculously beautiful sunsets… it's all on tap.
Anecdote Alert: I once went to a resort "like this" and swore I'd go to the spa every day. I went twice. The first time was bliss. The second time? I was too busy being sunburned and trying to figure out how to pronounce the Creole words for "more sunscreen." The point is, plan for reality to hit you. Don't assume you'll spend 5 hours a day in the sauna. But even a few hours there? Heavenly.
Cleanliness and Safety – The Pandemic Era Considerations
Okay, let's get real: COVID has changed the game. And this place talks the talk. "Anti-viral cleaning products," "rooms sanitized between stays," "hand sanitizer," "staff trained in safety protocol," and every freaking thing sanitized. While these are expected now, it's nice to see them. Still, I always bring my own sanitizing wipes, just in case. You can never be too careful.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Paradise
- Breakfast Bonanza: "Asian breakfast," "buffet," "breakfast service," "breakfast in room," and even "breakfast takeaway service!" They clearly know how to feed a hungry traveler.
- More Grub: Coffee shop, room service (24-hour!), and even a snack bar. This is important for survival, okay? I am one of those people who will get hangry on a beach. So, this all is a big plus!
Services and Conveniences: The Little Extras That Matter
- Essential Services: Air conditioning in the public area (thank GOD), daily housekeeping, concierge (got to have your towel art!), currency exchange, laundry service, safety deposit boxes – the usual.
- Helpful Stuff: A convenience store. Important for snacks. Meeting/banquet facilities are present. Cool, I guess, though I'm mainly interested in doing as little work as possible.
For the Kids: Family Fun (and Babysitting, Hallelujah!)
"Family/child friendly," "kids facilities," "babysitting service." Parents, rejoice! They are definitely making an effort to accommodate families. That babysitting service alone might seal the deal for some of you.
Access: Eyes on Security
- Safety and security features: CCTV in common areas and outside the property, smoke alarms, fire extinguishers… good stuff, all of it
Getting Around: Essential Practicalities
Airport transfer (yes!), car park (free of charge!), car park (on-site!), taxi service… all the things you need because let's face it, you're not just walking everywhere in the Seychelles.
Available in All Rooms: What to Expect in Your Oasis
- The Essentials: Air conditioning (again, thank the heavens), coffee/tea maker, free Wi-Fi, in-room safe, hairdryer.
- The Luxuries: Bathrobes, bathtub, and maybe even a balcony with a view. That is the dream.
Here's the Deal: My Honest Assessment (and a Plea for You to Book)
Okay, so, here's the thing. "Seychelles Paradise" sounds amazing. There is a lot going on. And it sounds like they have thought about everything. Now, there might still be some minor issues, but even with small imperfections…
Here's the deal I am confident about and what I'm selling you:

Reykjavik's Hidden Gem: Daydream at Vesturgata 17 (Icelandic Escape!)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your cookie-cutter itinerary. This is a real Seychelles experience, warts and all, from a travel writer (me!) who occasionally forgets what day it is and definitely overpacks. We're talking about the East Horizon Self-Catering Apartment on lovely, lovely Seychelles. Prepare to laugh, cringe, and maybe, just maybe, get a little bit jealous.
East Horizon Apartment: Seychelles - A Messy, Wonderful Adventure
Day 1: Landing, Luggage Woes, and the Quest for Groceries
- Morning (or What I Think is Morning): Arrive at Seychelles International Airport. Beautiful! Tropical! Already sweating, despite the AC. My first impression? The baggage claim is… well, let's just say it's an intimate experience. My suitcase decided to go on a solo tour of who-knows-where. Cue a minor panic attack. Found it… eventually. Covered in who-knows-what. Ugh.
- Mid-Morning: Taxi to the East Horizon Apartment. Honestly, the drive is breathtaking. Crystal-clear water, vibrant green hills… I'm already falling in love. Check in. Everything is pretty basic, but clean. The view from my balcony… holy moly. Seriously, I think I might just spend my entire vacation here, staring.
- Afternoon: The GREAT GROCERY QUEST! Armed with a flimsy reusable bag and a half-baked Creole phrasebook, I ventured out. Let's just say finding a decent supermarket that wasn't ridiculously overpriced was an adventure in itself. I walked, I sweated, I got hopelessly lost. Finally, success! (Mostly. I think I bought enough canned tuna to feed a small army.)
- Evening: Settled into the apartment. Cracked open a Seybrew (the local beer), admired the view, and slightly regretted not packing the insect repellent. Swatted away a few pesky mosquitoes while trying to read my book. Perfect ending? Almost. I realized I left the pineapple I’d bought (a HUGE one) in the back of the taxi, and I'm pretty sure I have a small fruit-induced breakdown – what a waste!
Day 2: Beach Bliss (Almost), Snorkeling Struggles, and Pizza Predicaments
- Morning: Determined to conquer the beach. Started with a sunrise stroll on a nearby beach. The sand is pure white, the water is turquoise… it's what postcards are made of. But… the sun. It's intense. Put on way more sunscreen than I thought I needed.
- Mid-Morning: Snorkeling adventure! I pictured myself gliding effortlessly through coral reefs, like a mermaid. Reality? I swallowed half the ocean, got tangled in my snorkel, and saw approximately three fish. The coral IS STUNNING, though, even through the sea of chlorine-flavored water, and a brief surge of panic that I’m probably going to get eaten.
- Afternoon: Refuelled with a beachside fish burger. Delicious! The simplicity of a perfect burger on the beach after all, the struggles of the morning felt a world away.
- Evening: Pizza night! (After a quick nap to recover from the sun…) Found a cute little pizza place not far from the apartment. The pizza was… well, let’s just say it wasn’t quite up to Italian standards. But hey, the beer was cold, the company (myself) was delightful, and I’d seen some fish! And, now I can say I ate pizza in Seychelles! (Even if it wasn't the best!)
Day 3: A Day Trip to La Digue – And Overcoming My Fear of Heights
- Morning: Ferry to La Digue. A bit of a rough ride, but the views are worth it. The island is gorgeous – a true paradise. Rented a bike (a VERY rickety bike), and started exploring.
- Mid-Morning: Found Anse Source D'Argent. The iconic beach with its granite boulders. Absolutely stunning. Spent hours just wandering around, taking way too many photos.
- Afternoon: This is where things got interesting. I wanted to go to a viewpoint for a "perfect" photo. Realized halfway up that I'm terrified of heights. (Never knew this about myself!). Tears. Deep breaths. Kept climbing (because the view was calling). Reached the top. The view? Unbelievable. I felt a rush of pride, and a little bit of nausea. The perfect photo I got, though.
- Evening: Back on the ferry, exhausted but happy. Ate some takeaway fish and chips while watching the sunset. Almost lost my hat in a gust of wind. Almost.
Day 4: Exploring Mahé – Market Mayhem and Botanical Beauty
- Morning: Time to tour Mahé! Hired a local driver to take me around. It was expensive. But… it was worth it.
- Mid-Morning: The Victoria Market. A riot of color, spices, and smells. Spent way too much money on souvenirs. Bargaining is a sport. I’m rubbish at it. Kept overpaying. But the people are warm and the fruit is delicious.
- Afternoon: Visited the Jardin du Roi Spice Garden. Wandered around, smelling spices, and feeling deeply connected to nature, until a monkey swiped my hat I bought the day before.
- Evening: Dinner at a restaurant with a balcony overlooking the ocean. Ordered some delicious seafood and watched the stars come out. Perfect end to a busy day.
Day 5: Relaxation, Regret, and the Realization of Paradise
- Morning: Slept in! Needed it. Spent the morning relaxing on my balcony, reading, and drinking coffee.
- Mid-Morning: Realized I hadn't done ANYTHING that wasn't related to beaches or food. The cultural immersion I had envisioned? Barely any. The learning of local customs? Next to none. A wave of existential dread washed over me, which was quickly replaced by the knowledge that, hey, I was in paradise and wasn't going to let a little bit of FOMO ruin my final days.
- Afternoon: Swam! The water is so warm and clean.
- Evening: Wandered on the beach! Witnessed a magical sunset. Realized, maybe this trip didn't have to be perfect. I had seen beauty, faced my fears, eaten a questionable pizza, and laughed a lot. And that was enough. I'm really going to miss this place!
Day 6: Goodbye, Seychelles (For Now!)
- Morning: Last breakfast on the balcony. Savored every bite of my slightly stale croissants. Packed.
- Mid-Morning: Checked out of the apartment. Said goodbye to the view that got me through the week.
- Afternoon: Headed to the airport, with a heart full of memories and a suitcase that still didn't want to cooperate.
- Evening: Plane ride home. Already planning my return trip.
Overall Thoughts:
The East Horizon Apartment was a good base. Simple, clean, and with a killer view. Seychelles? Absolutely magical. Messy? Yes. Perfect? Definitely not. Wonderful? Absolutely. Would I go back? In a heartbeat. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to unpack and then start planning my next adventure. Wish me luck! (I’ll need it!)
Escape to Paradise: 35 Kelkiewyn B&B, Nelspruit's Hidden Gem
So, uh... Why are we doing this FAQ thing anyway? Is it, like, important?
Honestly? I have NO idea. Someone, probably a very organized and probably *slightly* irritating someone, told me to write FAQs. Apparently, it's how people "find answers." I'm more of a "stumble upon things randomly and then get completely lost in the Wikipedia rabbit hole" kind of gal, but hey, I'll try. Maybe it'll be... helpful? Probable not. Probably not.
Okay, okay... let's start with the basics. What's the *point* of all this? What *is* this *thing*?
Alright, alright, settle down. What *is* it? Ah, the existential dread strikes early. I'm supposed to be talking about... well, things. But *specifically* what? Sigh. Okay. Let's say it's about... **everything**. Or at least, the things buzzing around in my brain, the messy stuff I've seen, done, and possibly regretted. Maybe you'll find something relatable. Maybe you'll think I'm a complete loon. Either way, progress, right?
What inspires you? Like, what gets your creative juices flowing? (And is it coffee? Please say it's coffee...)
Oh. Oh, this is a good one. Okay, okay. Coffee? Yep. Absolutely coffee. But also? The totally random. Like, the bizarre conversations I overhear on the bus (earning me the reputation of a "listener" which is a nice way of saying "nosy.") The tiny details people leave behind - a half-eaten donut, a crumpled receipt, a forgotten to-do list that, in its own way, tells of a thousand untold stories. And, you know, that occasional flash of brilliance that comes to me, right before I forget where I put my keys. Also, the sheer randomness, the sheer *mess* of life. It's beautiful.
What's the *worst* thing you've ever experienced? (Don't worry, we can handle it.)
Alright... buckle up. Here's the truth bomb: The worst? Hmm. Okay, so, picture this: I was, oh, maybe 20-something. Thought I was going to be some kind of *great* artist. Tried to sell my *art*. A guy, let's call him... Bobblehead Barry. Anyway, Barry came up to my booth, circled, and very solemnly said, and I quote, "Does your dog paint?" Now, look, I am not a *sensitive* person. I think I can roll with a lot. But Bobblehead Barry's "Does your dog paint?"? It cut. DEEP. I, obviously, said no. He just shrugged and walked off. The sheer casual brutality of it... the implication that my work could only be the product of a canine's paws... Ugh. Years later, I still dream about that moment. Okay, maybe I'm still a little sensitive. Whatever, it made me rethink my artistic choices.
Best thing? What's the *best* thing?
Oh, that's easier. Definitely the feeling of a really good book, that feeling when get *lost* in a good book. Or that moment, years ago... when I FINALLY figured out the perfect way to make scrambled eggs. Seriously, it was a game-changer. The soft, pillowy perfection... I would write an ode to it, if I weren't so easily distracted. Also, my cat. She's an absolute menace, but her purr is the best sound in the world, even when I'm having a total melt-down.
What are your weirdest habits? Come on, spill!
Oh boy. Where do I even START? Okay, well, I have to touch all the things when I walk past them. Walls, trees, other humans... (Okay, I try to avoid the other humans now. Learned my lesson.) I talk to myself. A LOT. And my most embarrassing habit? I judge people's grocery choices. Yep, I secretly scan their carts, assess their nutritional value, and sometimes even make up elaborate backstories based on what they buy. Don't even LOOK at my cart, you'll be judged too! Seriously.
What are you *really* passionate about? Beyond the surface stuff. The real, deep-down stuff.
Okay, okay, deep dive time. I'm passionate about authenticity. About people being unapologetically themselves, even when it's messy and imperfect and, honestly, even a little bit insane. I'm passionate about stories. The stories we tell ourselves, the stories we share, the ones that get buried under layers of "shoulds" and expectations. I'm passionate about the potential for change, the possibility of growth, and the absolute, beautiful weirdness of the human experience. It's a chaotic mess sometimes, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Even Bobblehead Barry's critiques. (Okay, maybe *especially* Bobblehead Barry's critiques... makes a good story, doesn't it?)
One final, truly important thought?
Remember to laugh. Seriously. Laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. Embrace the chaos. And for the love of all that is holy, don't let Bobblehead Barry rain on your parade. You're probably doing better than you think, even when you're convinced you're not. Now, if you'll excuse me... I have some eggs to scramble. Maybe I'll perfect them again. Maybe I will...
