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
Pros:

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.

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
