Five-Star Experience at Indian Ocean Lodge.
Pros:

Ein absolut traumhafter Aufenthalt im Boutique Hotel Indian Ocean Lodge! Das Personal ist außergewöhnlich hilfsbereit – man hat fast das Gefühl, sie könnten Gedanken lesen. Dabei haben sie stets ein herzliches Lächeln im Gesicht, was sofort für Wohlfühlatmosphäre sorgt.
Das Essen ist erstklassig (1A) und lässt keine Wünsche offen. Auch die Zimmer sind top – sehr sauber, komfortabel und geschmackvoll eingerichtet.
Ein kleiner, fast schon humorvoller Kritikpunkt: Es gibt wirklich viele Kissen im Zimmer – manchmal ist weniger eben mehr.
Insgesamt aber ein perfekter Aufenthalt, den ich jederzeit weiterempfehlen würde!

An absolutely wonderful stay at the Boutique Hotel Indian Ocean Lodge! The staff are incredibly helpful – it almost feels like they can read your mind. They always have a warm smile on their faces, which instantly creates a welcoming atmosphere.
The food is excellent (top quality) and leaves nothing to be desired. The rooms are also top-notch – very clean, comfortable, and tastefully furnished.
One small, almost amusing note: there are quite a lot of pillows in the room – sometimes less is more.
Overall, a perfect stay that I would highly recommend!

Beautiful Indian Ocean Lodge hotel
Pros:

The Indian Ocean Lodge is one of Praslin well known hotel which gives the best five star service to all its clients. From arrival to departure they will give you the most excellent service. Ms. Anita and Peter Alvis and her team was very welcoming and gave the best assistance and care during my stay ensuring a smooth and relaxing stay. To name a few staff that gave excellent service John restaurant manager and team was extremely attentive to details and organized a stunning deco for my birthday dinner and a special cake. The food for breakfast and dinner is very good and excellent. Edelbert bartender was super kind and always helpful and good at making nice cocktails. Marissa, Emma and Amy were always smiling and very friendly with a good attitude and assisted me well. Raju housekeeper was very professional and ensuring we were well taken off during our stay. The room very modern, clean and comfortable. This mini holiday was for my belated birthday but honestly it felt like I was celebrating my birthday once again as this outstanding team made it feel like magic. Thank you again Peter and team and all the best to you all. Until next time x

Un séjour merveilleux et mémorable !
Pros:

Le lieu est magnifique et le personnel est très disponible, accueillant et très charmant. La chambre était grande et confortable. Le restaurant ainsi que le bar étaient très agréables également. Le point fort de l’établissement c’est l’ensemble de l’équipe. De l’accueil, en passant par la cuisine, le service en salle, le personnel d’entretien tout était parfait. Merci à toutes et à tous !

Cons:

Rien. Le séjour a été parfait du début à la fin, merci à l’ensemble de l’équipe de l’Indian Océan Lodge qui a rendu notre séjour exceptionnel.

Pros:

Ubytovanie bolo nádherne, čisté. Personál veľmi milí a starostlivý. Človek mal pocit že problémy neexistujú. Jedlo bolo exkluzívne.
Pre nás troška chladnejší bazén, na pláži sa nedalo moc kúpať ale rozhodne to stalo za to. Ak sa ešte niekedy vrátime na Seychely tak hotel bude našou prvou voľbou.
Išlo o narodeninový pobyt, bez toho aby sme personálu niečo povedali tam nám pripravili na večeru krásny stôl a ešte aj tortu ako pozornosť! Skvelé

Úchvatný hotel, jen na pláž musíte jinam.
Pros:

Hotel naprosto nádherný, klidný, krásné dekorace. Nesmírně ochotný personál, vynikající jídlo, prostorné pokoje, krásný bazén. Se vším jsme byli absolutně spokojeni.

Cons:

Jediné mínus je nepoužitelná pláž, mořská tráva a rejnoci.

Trop long... 3 jours de vacances loupés
Cons:

Les prestations proposées ne sont pas à la hauteur du prix. Pas de plage nettoyée pas de transats sur la plage peu de choix au buffet en chambre pas de mouchoirs disettes de cafés gratuites Une seule fois pas de prise dans la salle de bain et des 2 côtes du lit. Pas de chaises ou fauteuil dans la chambre. Nous avons réussi à avoir un late check out... Merci... Mais la note générale aurait été plus basse sans cela... La plage est vraiment sale... Nous n avons vu aucun client s y baigner.... C est dommage pour une destination telle que les Seychelles... Nous ne conseillons pas cet hôtel.

Awesome lodge at great location and staff!
Pros:

Super friendly staff and great value. Perfect location in middle of Praslin.

Cons:

The mattress worked for my husband but not for me. They tried a few strategies, but ultimately what worked was the mattress from the balcony. We kindly suggest better mattresses.

Perfect hotel for a stay on Praslin Island

A beautiful, newly renovated hotel on a lovely, long sandy beach. The staff were extremely friendly, courteous, and helpful. The food in the hotel restaurant was excellent and varied. The rooms are large and functionally furnished. 100% recommended!

Nice and relaxing
Pros:

The location was a bit away from the jetty, but very close to the airport and to Anse Georgette.
The surroundings offered a few mini markets and other facilities, a bit poor but we were in a little island.
Breakfast was very rich and good quality. Dinner was every other day on buffet and every other day served at table. Good quality, excellent presentation of dishes.
Service was accurate and effective.
The reception was very collaborative and helped in some of our requests.
Appreciated air con, the fan and the mosquito shade in the room.
The beach was very nice, as well the pools.

Cons:

Bizarre that an hotel of this level does not offer an hair dryer in the room, so you need to call reception whenever you need. Strange.
Coffee pods were given for free only the first day, then you need to buy them from the bar: why not replacing them as you do for drinking water?

A Truly Memorable Holiday Experience
Pros:

Beautiful hotel with a lovely sandy beach! Our room was spotless and had a stunning sea view. Everything about the stay was pleasant. A special thanks to the Chef, who prepared delicious vegetarian meals for my sister and me, and to Denise at the bar, who made so many amazing cocktails! Staying here made our holiday truly memorable.

Wonderful stay at Indian Ocean Lodge
Pros:

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Indian Ocean Lodge. After moving here from another hotel, the difference was remarkable.

The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, always attentive and ready to help with genuine kindness.
The rooms were modern, very clean and comfortable, with a beautiful sea view that made our stay truly relaxing.

The most impressive part was the food – everything was freshly prepared in-house with high-quality ingredients and great attention to detail. Dining here felt like being in a 5-star restaurant, and we would return just for the meals alone.

Congratulations to the entire team for creating such a warm and professional atmosphere. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Praslin.
