Schöne Zimmer mit nettem Ambiente
Pros:

Die Bewertungen über herumfliegende Vögel und mangelnder Hygiene beim Frühstück hat das Hotel offensichtlich ernst genommen. Die Speisen waren alle mit Tüchern oder Folien abgedeckt, insofern war Problem gelöst. Gleiches gilt für den Seetank am Strand, auch dieser wurde vom Personal ständig zusammengeräumt.
Das Frühstück auf der Terasse ist wirklich sehr schön und lecker.
Auch die Buchungen von Ausflügen, Booten oder Schnorcheln verläuft problemlos.

Cons:

Die Lagebeschreibung könnte genauer sein. Für Einkäufe, Essen gehen oder andere Unternehmungen benötigt man einen Mietwagen. Der Weg von der Hauptstraße zum Hotel ist gerade im Dunkeln schwierig. Dort benötigt man eine Taschenlampe. Und Freundschaft mit den vielen Krebsen.

Attractive beachfront hotel with lush grounds on a beautiful bay; good value for money.
Pros:

Beautiful beachfront grounds. We had the most perfectly located beachfront room, with beautiful sea views. It consisted of a spacious semidetached bungalow, but it felt very private and we never noticed the neighboring room. The small and bay and beach are beautiful, we were not so lucky with the weather and sea conditions, but it must be gorgeous with calm weather conditions. Breakfast was excellent, served beachfront, buffet style, and there is a great egg station. We did not have any meal plan, so we had to use the ground floor restaurant, where the menu was simple but the food was good. One evening there was a creole buffet for all guests and we loved it. There is a diving school right on the premises, and the hotel has a few other boats on site for excursions too. Staff was always very friendly and helpful, they went out of their way to organize everything we asked for, including late check out. You can walk to the next village in roughly half an hour. For Praslin, we found it to be good value for money.

Cons:

Most of the rooms seem to be scattered up the hill in the gardens, and while they probably have a beautiful sea view too, we would not have enjoyed being on the hill. Our room was spacious, but some things like the bathroom or the furniture on the terrace were a bit outdated, like 1980s, and quite standard, instead of high end. The aircon was functional but a bit old, and very loud, so we had to turn it off at night to sleep. They apparently have 2 restaurants; we had to use the restaurant on the ground floor, for guests with no meal plan; the menu is simple and never changed; the food was good, but it got boring after two days. Half-board guests use the other restaurant, upstairs, but we didn't really understand the difference since both restaurants are connected in the same space, and there seems to be only one kitchen, and on buffet night we got to eat upstairs too. We had the feeling the separation is artificial and unnecessary; the hotel doesn't really have 2 restaurants, and doesn't need them anyhow. The pool's position is a bit unfortunate, a bit hidden at the back, with restricted views, so not so attractive, but we don't need to use the pool on Seychelles anyhow.

Skønt og roligt ophold på Praslin
Pros:

Vi elskede beliggenheden som var for enden af en vej og for enden af en strand, meget privat og roligt. Selve hotellet er meget roligt, I en skøn have med et rigt fugle liv. Store værelser, dejlig strand og pool. Maden var virkelig god og personalet havde gjort meget ud af at der var mange veganske muligheder.

Cons:

Badeværelset var stort, men lidt sparsomt indrettet, ikke så luksuriøst og det kunne have været renere.

Pros:

L'Archipel could be described also like a small boutique hotel, as a excellent one for a 4-stars category. And a hotel's beach covered by a fine white sand almost dream one if there was less seaweed. But luckilly there is very nice and clean infinity pool with the view of the laguna.
Special compliments deserve also hotel restaurant which is very good. During our stay we
ate only a'la carte and the meals especially

Understated Boutique Luxury
Pros:

We just completed a lovely 2-night/3-day stay at this beautiful boutique property, and it felt ideal for a romantic getaway. Set on the slopes of a hillside, every room offers breathtaking views of a pristine private beach, creating a very intimate and serene atmosphere.

The service was excellent throughout our stay, with the entire property impeccably maintained and spotlessly clean. Our checkout happened to fall on a weekend when ferry services to Mahé are limited, and the team graciously offered us a complimentary late checkout, which made our departure completely stress-free.

The onsite restaurant and bar are fantastic—perfect for relaxed, candle-lit dinners with great food and a peaceful ambience. Overall, this is an understated yet luxurious property that’s ideal for couples and honeymooners looking for privacy, comfort, and memorable views.

Breakfast in Paradise!
Pros:

Our room was spacious and comfortable. The view from breakfast can't be beat (plus the food options were tasty)! A great location for proximity to the jetty and to fond ferdinand, but further from the most famous beaches on Praslin. It's easy to rent a car for a day from the hotel - a really nice addition!

Cons:

The dinner options were overall nothing to write home about - we enjoyed the buffet night albeit quite expensive. The taxi pick-up from the jetty was also pricey considering how close the hotel is.

Pros:

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful resort with a breathtaking view from the top villa. The staff were incredibly helpful, and we would especially like to mention Edward — always smiling, positive, and happy to assist with anything.

We attended the New Year Gala Dinner, which was included in our half-board package. This was a wonderful surprise, as many resorts charge extra for Christmas and New Year events. The à la carte menu was absolutely delicious.

Our room was spotless and very well maintained. The resort has an excellent on-site diving center, which made it easy and convenient to enjoy diving.

The resort is beautifully designed, and everything about our stay exceeded expectations. Highly recommended!

Cons:

One small area for improvement would be the amount of seaweed on the beach, which could be cleaned more frequently. In addition, the regular buffet dinner on non-gala days could be improved

Wonderful
Pros:

This is a loveley small private hotel at the end of o road. The rooms are banked up the side of a natural bowl, so steps are inevitable for the higher rooms but the views are woth it. The beach and bay are lovelry with th sea shallow. If sea grass bothers you, proceed out of the hotel and 300yds along the road is a lovely beach with no see grass (unfortunately no beds)
The staff are wonderful and very helpful and the food is marvellous. Having a drink in the bar in the evening is magical as thr fruit bats fly from the trees behind the hotel. The cocktails are marvellous.
We were in room 802 (there are not that many rooms) which has spectacular sunsets and a great view across the wider bay.
A trip to Curieuse is a wonderful experience, but if you walk across to the next bay be sure you are fit enouch as it can be hard going! a visit to the Vallee de Mai is also a must.
We would return to this lovely hotel if we are able. We reccommend it to anyone.
