Katie Robson in the Seychelles

Our typical day would be to get down for breakfast as early as possible, the variety of food available made eating with the children at the resort super easy. We would eat at the beautiful pool-side restaurant Turtle Cove where we could sit outside gazing across the pool and out to sea which gives you an amazing view of the surrounding islands. The boys would finish their breakfast quickly and head pool side where they would grab a fresh towel and pick a spot to let their pancakes digest before practicing their snorkeling skills. We would ‘relax’ (as much as you can with 3 children) in the pool for much of the morning in between joining in on the many morning activities available snorkeling with the team, hiking, Spin Class, table tennis, yoga and or aqua aerobics. Our youngest son would often like to take a break from the water to go build Lego or play giant Jenga or grab some extra snacks with the one of the GO’s from the bar.

Scott or I liked to take the baby for a little park visit which is in the very beautiful, shaded kids club area before a long walk around the resort to get her off to sleep. Once baby was asleep, we could head over to the adults only ZEN pool which allowed us to make the most of the peace and quiet and get lost in a good book with cocktail in hand. From there we would often have an ocean swim in the turquoise waters just a few yards away from the Zen pool. Regularly met some of the other ‘wilder’ residents including the amazing baby lemon sharks.

We would then have some lunch either back at Turtle Cove or the beautiful Reef bar lounge. For the afternoon we all liked to take a leisurely stroll across the footbridge to spot the sharks and head towards Mummy’s favorite white sandy beach on St Annes where the islands own giant tortoises would be found. We all grew quite attached (especially CoCo who liked to hang around the Watersports) the boys loved to gently stroke them/ shower them and feed them the flowers (as guided by the nature guide GO) The boys loved to make the most of the water sports on offer here and of course the adults enjoyed beach bar which was only a couple of steps from the nautical center. We would often stay here for sunset swims before heading back to our room to get dressed for an evening. Checking in on the app to see the lose dress code for that night (admittedly not always followed)

I can honestly day no day was ever really the same as there were so many different places to explore and even more experiences to delve into.

The rooms were incredible, we had 2 double rooms which of course were adjoining, so we had space in abundance and the boys felt very grown up with their wristbands which gained them entry into their own room for when they fancied some chill time in the air conditioning. Beautiful walk-in showers, free standing bathtubs with ocean views and full-size Cinq Mondes Spa products. Plenty of wardrobe and storage space. Tv, fridge and coffee station. The view from our rooms overlooked the pool and beyond into the sea to the wonderful Seychelles islands. It was a great spot to watch the Seychelles Fruit Bats.

You are never short of food options at club med Seychelles from breakfast to lunch, dinner, and snacks in-between. There is literally everything you can think of and always something for everyone even the fussiest of eaters amongst us.

More than ample, at breakfast you spoilt with a wide range of fresh fruit, yoghurts, cereals and freshly prepared juices, and smoothies. A huge selection of hot food from freshly made omelette, bacon, sausages and the wonderful pancakes or waffles which the kids loved. There were cold meats, pastries, and breads literally everything we could imagine.

Lunch and dinner were the same and no days were ever the same. There was always a wide selection of meats, salads, cooked fish, salads and of course all the children’s favorites including chicken nuggets, fries, burgers, and pastas.

The same with the drinks, the bar staff were always happy to make whatever you asked for and were also very accommodating when it came to helping you choose when you were spoilt for choice.

Entertainment was great and our favorites were the sunset ritual’s which would take place on the beach and there would be a live DJ, cocktails served in coconuts and great vibes, these would be on twice a week at two different locations on the island and were wonderful. The white night is always special too. We liked to reserve a pool side table outside to dine and could watch the entertainment from there. Champaign, sparklers, and lots of dancing.
