The property is very specious. The view is amazing. The bus stop is very close to the property and I only used the buses to go around. There is a beach you can walk in 10 minutes but if you take the bus in 10 minutes you can go to Anse Royale beach which is much nicer.

The room was huge, with a kitchen, sitting area, dining room table, large balcony with an ocean view, large bathroom and large bedroom. The hotel is walking distance to some attractions/places to eat and drink, a little grocery store, and the bus stop. Peter is a great host and accomodating, as well. I highly recommend this place.

Getting in and out is a nightmare.
If you check in later during the day no one is around to let you in. It says on the site that check in is until

A Magical Holiday Experience at Dar & Douce, Seychelles
Our 13-night stay over New Year 24/25 at Dar & Douce in Au Cap was absolutely wonderful. Despite the rainy season, the Seychellois warmth—both in climate and hospitality—shone through, making our vacation unforgettable.
From the moment we arrived, Peter and his daughter Guyanne, along with the wonderful housekeeper Janine, made us feel right at home. Their attention to detail, friendliness, and readiness to help with solutions to any queries were exceptional. Peter’s resourcefulness in arranging car hire, recommending fantastic restaurants, and guiding us towards hidden gems around the island was invaluable.
The property itself is comfortable and charming, offering excellent value for money. The peaceful ambiance and thoughtful touches made our stay thoroughly enjoyable.
Dar & Douce is more than just a place to stay—it’s a wonderful haven from which to experience the true essence of Seychelles. We’re so grateful to Peter, Guyanne, and Janine for their care and hospitality, which turned our holiday into a special and memorable experience.
We will be back, for sure. It was a holiday of a lifetime. Thank you!

The place had a great view. Bed was super comfortable, good wifi. The owners were very sweet and helpful. I was even able to book transport with their help. The beach is a short walk and there is a little mini market right next to it. I was also able to walk to the couple restaurants and the Rum distillery. Definitely great value here.
