If wanting to experience more of the Seychellois culture over big corporate resorts this is a wonderful choice. Our hostess Noella was most gracious, accommodating and a joy to meet. Lapasyans is very private and for the most part quiet. Once in awhile one can hear the dogs in the neighbourhood, but all part of the community experience. Overall we loved our time there, wishing we could stay longer. So now, we will have to return to the Seychelles to visit again.
