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.

Pros:

Очень приятный вайб, тихо, уютно

Cons:

Комары или какая то другая кровососущая хрень. Причем они настолько мелкие, что их не слышно, не видно и не чувствуешь, но при этом укусы очень неприятны. Практически все ходят с покусанными ногами и руками. Мне кажется персонал должен как то предупреждать и предлагать спреи и тд.
Море очень мелкое, особенно в период отлива, купаться не комфортно, поэтому мы ездили на пляж с другой стороны острова

Relax y buen ambiente
Pros:

La habitación estaba bastante bien. Funcionaba muy bien el aire acondicionado y la ducha era amplia.
La piscina también estaba bien, no era muy grande pero estaba guapa y era cómoda.
También nos gustó la comida. En los desayunos el buffet era variado y había bastantes opciones. Las cenas también estuvieron bien: alternaban un día buffet y otro menú completo. En los buffets similar a los desayunos, pese a no ser un buffet enorme, había bastantes opciones variadas y siempre había algún pescado del día; en las noches de menú, estaban preparados por el chef y estaban bastante bien también (luego salía a ver qué te había parecido y todo).

Cons:

La política de check-in y check-out. Llegamos a las 12 y, si bien es cierto que ponen que la entrada es a partir de las 2, no te dan ninguna opción para la espera. Salvamos que la habitación estuvo lista “un poco” antes.
Con la salida pasa algo similar, es muy temprano, a las 10. Puedes pedir salir más tarde pero en nuestro caso no lo apuntaron bien que salíamos más tarde y nos apuraron un poco.
Tampoco nos gustó mucho la playa, tenía demasiadas algas (con rayas escondidas entre ellas que no podías bañarte) por lo que no nos bañamos ni un día en esa playa (lo intentamos la primera pero que va). Si te mueves por la isla tampoco tiene tanto inconveniente.

Relaxed
Pros:

Lovely hotel where the food and the staff just made the experience. Bar team led by Dennis and Tony were fabulous. In the Restaurant , Babu and the amazing Samantha who looked after us for our stay. Lovely flowers on our table each night , and drinks by the beach and pool. What more can you ask for🥂😎😎. Room was lovely and the hotel had a relaxing vibe. Some seaweed on the beach ( which apparently happens at this time) but plenty of beautiful beaches within short distance.

Pros:

Części wspólne hotelu (lobby, restauracja, baseny) nowoczesne, pięknie urządzone.
Personel uprzejmy i pomocny.
Szef kuchni zaangażowany i otwarty na uwagi gości.
Piękna plaża pod warunkiem, że nie jest pokryta algami.

Cons:

Pokoje wymagają odświeżenia. Łazienka nie spełniła naszych oczekiwań. Panele w łazience wymagają wymiany, drzwi w formie żaluzji - kompletny brak komfortu i intymności.
Niezależnie od obiektu cała plaża była w algach i niestety to powodowało, że właściwie niej korzystaliśmy z niej. A szkoda.
