Lovely Holidays at Coco de Mer, Praslin
Pros:

Located at a quiet cozy beach, it has a private atmosphere. Although it was built almost 40 years ago, the rooms are newly renovated and you have quite a lot of space. It’s very clean, in every part of the hotel. The service is really good and people are very friendly and aiming to fulfill every wish. You have the possibility to do many different day trips and at the reception they are always helping to organise it. In addition the hotel offers a shuttle service to Anse Lazio three times a week and a guided walking tour through nature twice a week, all for free. The Coco de Mer is really worth the price.

The best resort & exceptional staff
Pros:

The location is superb and very private . We stayed for 3 nights at the adult only Villa. From the start of our stay from the reception to checkout the service level was excellent. The staff we came across like Fiona, Joe, Gurpreet, Ajay & another gentleman from Sri Lanka at the Mango Bar were so nice and courteous. They made us feel so relaxed and comfortable. If you are looking to relax as a couple , this is the resort you have to be in. They have an infinite pool on the beach. Simply an exceptional place. Note that you need to plan ahead since this is an island and ensure to reserve a domestic flight or ferry according to your final departure.We had to take a flight back to Mahe as our flight was 8:25 and had to take a 20 mins flight at Air Seychelles early morning since the ferry starts only 8 am so planning ahead is essential.

Beautiful property with an extremely questionable room-bathroom-design
Pros:

The property was beautiful. The area outside the rooms where one can just sit for hours reading a book - amazing!

The staff deserves a special mention for genuinely being extremely sweet and helpful through our stay

The breakfast buffet was really good. Not only was there a wide spread, the food tasted real good

Location wise, the property is quite easy to find and get to

Cons:

The room was not great. There are two issue I had with it. One minor and the other major.

Minor - it was really dark. The way its been designed, there is barely any natural light allowed into the room

Major - WHY do establishments think it is ok to have an open bathroom. How is that romantic? Not only was the bath-tub area open, the WC was part open as well. That meant that we could hear each other using the WC and worse, the smell would take over the room and linger! This was attrocious. It destroyed our nights at the property

I would have happily rated this property a 8/10 but am downgrading it to a 6/10 just because of the bathroom situation

An unforgettable stay thanks to Anura’s exceptional hospitality
Pros:

Some places are beautiful because of their location. Others become unforgettable because of the people who work there. This hotel has both.

Our stay on Praslin was one of the most memorable travel experiences we have ever had. The breathtaking tropical scenery, peaceful atmosphere, and beautiful surroundings created the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday.

However, what made our stay truly exceptional was the incredible hospitality of the staff, especially Anura.

Anura is one of those rare people who naturally make others feel welcome. His kindness, warmth, professionalism, and genuine smile brightened every day of our stay. He was always attentive, caring, and happy to help, making every meal and every interaction a pleasure. It never felt like simple customer service—it felt like sincere hospitality from someone who truly enjoys making guests happy.

People like Anura are the reason guests leave with wonderful memories and a desire to return. He is a real credit to the hotel, and we hope his dedication and outstanding work are recognized because he truly deserves it.

Thank you to the entire team for creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We will always remember the paradise-like views, the peaceful surroundings, and above all, the kindness we experienced every day.

We hope to come back one day. Until then, we will recommend this hotel wholeheartedly to our family and friends.

Veronia at Coco de Mer – Truly Attentive and Proactive Service
Pros:

Veronia at the reception of Hotel Coco de Mer deserves special recognition. When we accidentally left a bag behind after checking out, she informed us promptly, and took the initiative herself to contact Creole Travel Service to arrange its return to us on Mahé.

On top of that, even though we were still on Praslin, Veronia arranged an excellent rental car for us on Mahé, organizing it so that it would be handed over to us right at the ferry terminal upon arrival, with the flexibility to drop it off at the airport at the end of our trip. Thanks to her efforts, we’ve been able to make the most of our remaining 1.5 days in the Seychelles without any hassle.

Service like this makes a real difference to a trip. Many thanks, Veronia!

Pretty Praslin
Pros:

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and had a wonderful time. The staff were kind and helpful, and our suite was kept clean every day. We also had a beautiful view of the ocean. The location is on the quieter side of the island, but there is a free bus to take you to the busier side a few days a week. There is plenty to do with watersports and other activities. The food was delicious, and there was entertainment during dinner. It was a lovely trip, and I would highly recommend this hotel.

Ein Traumdomizil im Paradies
Pros:

Wo soll man anfangen? Mit einer problemlosen Anreise durch die organisierte Abholung vom Flughafen und einem herzlichen Empfang inkl. Begrüßungsgetränk und umfassender Informationen zum Ressort, verschiedenen Angeboten (wie z.B. dreimal wöchentlichen und kostenlosen Shuttle zum/vom herrlichen Anse Lazio, einer ebf. kostenlosen Wanderung durch den Regenwald mit dem dafür wohl besten Guide Matthew oder dem Nachmittagskaffee an der Poolbar)?
Unbedingt - doch das Coco de Mer bietet noch weit mehr: ein grandioses, umfangreiches, leckeres und tägliches wechselndes Frühstücks- und Abendbuffet in wunderbarer Atmosphäre am Ozean mit der kleinen Seebrücke und ihrem Infinitivpool im Vordergrund und einem aussergewöhnlich nettem und zuvorkommenden Personal.
Dazu ein als Wohlfühloase zu deklarierendes Anwesen, in welches inklusive der geschmackvoll eingerichteten und komfortablen Lodges einfach alles sehr ästhetisch in seiner ruhigen Lage angelegt ist.
Summa summarum - ein überwältigendes Kleinod mit unbedingter Weiterempfehlung von uns!

Where to begin? With a hassle-free arrival thanks to an organized airport pickup and a warm welcome completely with a welcome drink and comprehensive information about the resort and its various offerings (such as the free shuttle bus three times a week to and from the magnificent Anse Lazio, a complimentary rainforest hike with Matthew - arguably the best guide for the job - or the afternoon coffee at the pool bar)?
Absolutely - but the Coco de Mer offers so much more: a magnificent, extensive, and delicious breakfast and dinner buffet that changes daily, set in a wonderful atmosphere by the ocean - featuring a small jetty with an infinity pool in the foreground - and staffed by exceptionally friendly and attentive personnel.
Even more it is the property itself - a true oasis of well-being, where everything - including the tastefully furnished and comfortable lodges - has been laid out with great aesthetic appeal in a tranquil setting.

Cons:

Es gibt absolut nichts, was uns nicht gefallen hat.

There is absolutely nothing we did not like.

A special spot for our honeymoon
Pros:

We had the most relaxing time here. The property is simply stunning. When we arrived we decided we’d like to upgrade to the Black Parrot Suites as we were staying for our honeymoon, we thought why not make it more special. The staff were very kind to show us around the suites before making the decision and let us pick between two rooms. We got a discounted rate and felt it was well worth the extra. The suites are a private area of the property where you have a separate pool and bar. The rooms were amazing with a spacious balcony spanning the most spectacular view of the mountains and ocean. We loved watching the sunset here every evening. We enjoyed the bath and the outdoor shower was a treat. The rooms were modern and spotlessly cleaned every day.

We had access to the facilities at Coco de Mer and enjoyed the infinity pool and lunch & cocktails at Mango Bar, which we found very reasonably and fairly priced compared to prices in Mahé. We had half board, so had the breakfast and dinner buffet included in our rate. Breakfast was really tasty and varied every day, the freshly made omelettes were wonderful. The dinner was varied every night too. Staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. We enjoyed the live music on Friday night, it created a lovely atmosphere.

We didn’t venture out too much as this was the relaxing part of our honeymoon in the Seychelles. We did go to Anse Lazio which is a 30 minute drive from the hotel. We had a rental car, but the hotel runs a regular shuttle to the beach free of charge. We also did the Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve which is only 10 minutes up the road. We enjoyed our tour here. The hotel offers free stand up paddle boarding and water sports. We rented snorkel equipment from them to take to Anse Lazio with us. It’s in a quieter area of the island but we loved this. You wouldn’t need to venture far as the hotel has everything you need.
