Great accommodation on Praslin

Excellent self catering accommodation with plenty of space in a lovely location. The private beach is delightful and the hotel is well located to explore the rest of the beautiful island. Really helpful staff and clean, comfortable rooms. Breakfast was really good everyday, perfectly cooked eggs!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed at Islander Hotel for 5 nights. While check-in was pleasant, the overall experience was disappointing for the price. Cleanliness was poor — rooms were only cleaned every other day, and there were no housekeeping staff regularly present. The receptionist was friendly at first but largely unhelpful afterward. We weren’t informed that water supply stops during the night. While we understand the water scarcity in Seychelles, most hotels have water storage solutions — this one did not. There were also insects and reptiles in the villa, which made the stay uncomfortable. The restaurant had very limited variety and hardly any guests, so we often had to cook ourselves or travel far to find decent food. The lighting inside the villa was extremely dim, creating a gloomy and depressing atmosphere in the evenings. We didn’t feel especially welcome overall, and guest support seemed minimal. The beach shown in photos isn’t usable due to strong currents, so we had to travel daily to other beaches. The property has potential but is poorly managed. It feels like the owner is absent and the current team is disengaged. We definitely overpaid and wouldn’t recommend this place in its current state

Cet hébergement allie l’atout de l’hôtel (possibilité de petit déjeuner et repas sur place, changement des serviettes, espace commun en bord de plage) et celui de la location d’un appartement. Le logement était spacieux , avec deux grandes chambres climatisées , une salle d’eau comprenant baignoire et douche, et cuisine équipée , la plage est jolie et adaptée aux enfants, on peut aussi utiliser le mobilier en bord de plage (transats, tables et chaises). La localisation de l’hôtel avec une supérette au début de l’accès et des take away à proximité est top ! Pour résumer nous recommandons cet hébergement !

Kleines ruhiges Hotel (Bungalows) im grünen direkt am meist menschenleeren Strand. Alle Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Mehrmals in der Woche frische Bettwäsche und Handtücher. Für uns war es perfekt und die Zeit verging viel zu schnell.

Nice hotel

Overall it was a good stay. The beach area was beautifully built with a platform to look out to the sea. Sunbeds were available too. We booked the superior room, which was very lovely decorated and clean. Only the kitchen was full of ants, but they were always wandering up and down the same wall and didn't really get in the way (still wonder why they were there, because there was no food or anything that would have attracted them). A/C was available in the bedroom and worked very well. Their restaurant Capricorn was open, however, the service was extremely limited. They almost didn't have any liquors for the cocktails and their wine selection was scarce, too. When we wanted to have breakfast on the first morning, they said we should have informed them the evening before so they could organize it, although nobody told us beforehand. Still, the owner made us some small but lovely breakfast with cut-up fruit, toast, self-made banana jam (which was delicious!) and egg of our choice, but we were shocked when we got the bill (600SCR / 35€ for two people!!) Nonetheless, we had a lovely time at the Islander Hotel and appreciate everything they did for us (even organized a the car rental for us)!

Ideal für Ruhesuchende

Diese Apartmentanlage liegt direkt an einem idyllischen Strand, von wo man jeden Abend den Sonnenuntergang beobachten kann. Auch zum Schwimmen und Faulenzen ist die Bucht sehr gut geeignet. Den Zugang zur berühmten Anse Georgette (fußläufig) bekommt man beliebig oft durch eine telefonische Voranmeldung über die Hotelleitung. Die Doppelbungalows liegen in einem tropischen Garten, zu dem auch ein kleines Schildkrötengehege gehört. Die Inneneinrichtung ist zwar etwas in die Jahre gekommen, wird aber sorgfältig gepflegt und sauber gehalten. Bei Regen kann man wunderbar auf der überdachten Terrasse sitzen. Auf Anfrage bekommt man Strandtücher gestellt. Eine Bushaltestelle und auch ein Supermarkt, in dem man alles Nötige zur Selbstverpflegung erhält, liegen unmittelbar am Eingang der Anlage. Zum Gelände gehört auch ein Restaurant, das wir aber nicht genutzt haben. Es gibt keine Störung durch Straßengeräusche, stattdessen hört man die Vögel und nachts die Flughunde sowie die Brandung. Wenn man bei Dunkelheit die Sterne beobachten möchte, sollte man eine Taschenlampe dabei haben. Für die An-und Abreise braucht man ein Taxi, das vom Hafen 25 Euro kostet, vom nahe gelegenen Flughafen weniger. Ein Auto ist auf der Insel nicht nötig. Man erreicht alles bequem per Bus, der pro Strecke, egal wie lang, 7 Rupien kostet.

Nice and quiet family hotel

Nice and quiet family hotel consisting of clean reasonably spacious 2 bedroom duplexes. There is a good on-site restaurant and direct access to a beach and also a nice seating area overlooking the beach. The staff are really nice and very responsive and helpful. Highly recommended.

abitazioni comode in complesso vicino al mare, ma senza spiaggia vicina. cucina ben equipaggiata con possibilità di cucinare in modo autonomo. macchina obbligatoria. personale disponibile ma non sempre gentile. il ristorante è piuttosto caro rispetto ai (pochi) altri vicini. nella prenotazione era indicata la colazione inclusa ma non c'è stato modo di ottenerla sebbene ciò sia poi stato rimborsato da expedia.

Guest house très bien situé tout prés d'une plage.

Nos avons séjourné ma femme et moi dans ce guesthouse pendant 5 nuits. Nous avons trés bien été accueillis par Miette la propriétaire. Le prix des chambres est assez correct. La propreté est de rigueur et le chalet est trés spacieux. Grande chambre à coucher avec un trés grand lit une grande salle de bain. La kitchenette est suffisamment grande et rien ne manque. Le complexe est juste au bord d'une belle plage de sable fin (anse Kerlan). Il y a aussi à proximité une supérette un loueur de voiture des magasins de souvenir et un trés bon take eway pour ceux qui un ont budget serré. Pour ma part je n'ai pas mangé dans leur restaurant mais tous ceux qui y ont mangé avaient beaucoup apprécie. Par contre leur petit déjeuner est assez varié et trés copieux et en plus avec le grand sourire matinal de Josianne. Bref avec ou sans enfants je vous conseille d'y aller. En plus Miette et Josianne de nature discrètes sont trés bonne conseillères pour les sorties à faire ou pour les randonnées à effectuer.

This is a beautiful Guesthouse right on the beach. They have a restaurant & rental cars on site. It is far from the preferred snorkeling beach, but a rental car will get you there & it is on the bus route. My biggest dislike is the additional charge for the A/C - it was the only place I stayed in Seychelles that charged to use it. Room includes a kitchen & has a nice porch.
