Idyllic Desroches Island, situated in the Indian Ocean Island, 230km from Mahe, Seychelles, was recently awarded the TripAdvisor 2014 Certificate of Excellence. Honoured for their outstanding service and consistently high standards, this reward recognizes Desroches Island as an exceptional destination, often enjoyed by A-list celebrities and Royalty.

TripAdvisor's “Certificate of Excellence” is bestowed upon accommodation and restaurants consistently rated tops by TripAdvisor travellers. It honours those establishments committed to hospitality excellence.  A rating of four or higher (out of five) as well as the number of reviews a business receives from travellers on TripAdvisor over a 12 month period, determines a business' eligibility for this award. 

TripAdvisor is the world's largest travel site and gives travellers the opportunity to plan their perfect trip! The Certificate of Excellence programme is another way TripAdvisor acknowledges travellers reviews and thereby recognizing highly rated businesses.

“TripAdvisor is pleased to honour exceptional businesses for consistent excellence, as reviewed by travellers on the site," said Christine Petersen, President, TripAdvisor for Business. "The Certificate of Excellence Award gives highly rated establishments around the world the recognition they deserve. From exceptional accommodations in Beijing to remarkable restaurants in Boston, we want to applaud these businesses for offering TripAdvisor travellers a great customer experience”

Around 10% of listed TripAdvisor accommodations are handed this prestigious award. It's no surprise Desroches Island was considered. Exclusive luxury set amongst raw island vegetation, Desroches Island offers can be described as “paradise meets perfect and time stands still”.

We value our guests' feedback and want to thank them for placing us amongst the best”. Wicus Prinsloo, General Manager.
