Serene beach, decent property, paid WiFi!

It’s a very cozy property located on one of the best beaches of Praslin. They even have house tortoise in the garden that you can pet. The quality of food and service are decent. My only concern is that the WiFi is not free, you need to pay extra to access it. I would have understood if it was a budget hotel, but I find it weird to not have free WiFi at a property where you’re paying almost €200/night.

Somewhere between luxury & camping. perfect beach!

Location is spectacular. Food options and quality are low. Service was good. Rustic getaway. Expensive for the lack of amenities, but again the setting is magic. Wasn’t disappointed, but a bit overvalued in my opinion.

great beach, even better staff

Staff were absolutely amazing. every day they did something extra for us. really wonderful

beach area is amazing. just enjoy the beach at the hotel. also there is lots of shade, which is key because the sun is brutal

hotel has no pool

also rooms don't have coffee or hot water maker. this would be a nice plus

hotel is a little on the expensive side

The room we had was connected to another room and we could hear everything from the other room. Mostly French spoken and entertainment was all in French. I thought they would have local dancers. Had a delightful hike in the forest reserve. Beach in front of hotel had a lot of sea grass.

The pictures don’t do this place justice! We absolutely loved our stay here. We stayed in a lovely room in our own bungalow, and when we arrived, they had prepared prosecco and a fruit platter for us, which was such a thoughtful touch and truly beyond our expectations. The beach was beautiful — just steps away from the hotel. There were very few guests during our stay, so we often had the pool all to ourselves.

We ended up eating both lunch and dinner here many times because the food selection was great and varied a bit from day to day. They also served the best pizza we could find on Praslin.

The owner and staff were incredibly kind and helpful. We kept our phones on flight mode throughout the trip, and they helped us arrange taxis and introduced us to our wonderful driver, Gery.

The beds were a little firm for our preference, but the hotel was very quiet at night, which made the stay incredibly relaxing. Everything felt clean, peaceful and well cared for, and the atmosphere throughout the property was absolutely beautiful.

The WiFi was a bit unstable, and I couldn’t download my book — but honestly, who goes to the Seychelles for WiFi?

If you’re staying on Praslin, book this hotel. It truly gives you that paradise feeling without making you feel isolated, and it’s only about a 20-minute walk along the beach to the supermarket and other restaurants.

Un bel endroit.

Endroit sauvage et préservé, accueil sympathique et bon rapport qualité prix. Les lodges sont spacieux et propres, directement sur la très belle plage.
Seule petite réserve sur la restauration, pas très raffinée sauf si on prend les crudités.
Ambiance italienne, très conviviale.
Un bel endroit.

Dobry hotel przy przepięknej plaży

Byliśmy z żoną w tym hotelu przez 5 dni. Pięknie położone miejsce przy fantastycznej plaży. Spory ten, mało ludzi (ale to ostatnie to niemal norma na Seszelach). Bungalow przy plaży spełnił nasze oczekiwania. Było czysto, cicho i spokojnie (słychać tylko szum fal :)). Personel hotelu bardzo przyjazny i pomocny w każdej sprawie. Organizują całkiem fajne kameralne jednodniowe \"wycieczki\" w różne miejsca, także na inne wyspy. Restauracja serwuje bardzo smaczne jedzenie na lunch. Jedyne co nam nie do końca pasowało, to śniadania (były dość monotonne) i forma podawania kolacji (wyłącznie bufet za 40 euro od osoby, nie można wybrać z karty np. samej sałatki). Powtórzę, że nasze zastrzeżenia dotyczą formy posiłków, a nie ich smaku (jedzenie jest naprawdę dobre). Każdego dnia o 17:00 goście spotykają się przy plaży na herbatę z trawy cytrynowej i ciasteczka - bardzo fajny pomysł :). Z hotelu najlepiej ruszać się samochodem, ewentualnie publicznym autobusem - na piechotę można się co najwyżej wybrać na spacer wzdłuż plaży. W sumie to piękne miejsce na wypoczynek dla tych, którzy lubią przestrzeń i spokój. Polecamy!

The cottage´s where nice and very big. At this point they run it Italian style and it means that every one eat at the same time. Lunch is served at 13:00 and dinner at 20:00. So you can´t eat when you want. I guess the Italians buy full pension and we who booked thru hotels did not have that deal. They have there own beach wich is big and flat. Enough sunbeds. For my taste you should take down some trees there were hard to find sun spot after lunch time. A lot of shadows beacuse the sun goes down behind the place. The food was great buffe with two chefs one making fresh pasta and one grill your fish or meat. The staff really was great every lunch and dinner they all came and wish you a happy meal. Every evening they did something only downside that they spoke only italian. But after a few days they tryed to involve us and they spoke some english. But we had fun anyway. There was a \"village\" 15min away where you had some restaurants and shops. We went there for lunch some days. The only bad was that they charge You for WIFI and it did not function that well specially in your cottage. They have to stop doing that.

Vacanza indimenticabile\n

Il fantastico staff ha fatto la differenza!
a partire da Marco ( il direttore) , Mario che ci ha fatto divertire e Mattia che ha organizzato delle escursioni che non dimenticheremo (soprattutto grand soure e la digue) ma anche tutto il resto del personale (dai cuochi ai camerieri).
Abbiamo mangiato benissimo (del resto abbiamo scelto una struttura italiana anche per questo...).
La spiaggia lunga 3 km permette di fare splendide passeggiate sia di giorno (ammirando gli splendidi colori e sfumature del mare e del cielo sia di notte per ammirare le stelle).
Una delle più belle vacanze che abbiamo mai fatto!

Hotel con ottima posizione sulla spiaggia. Sala ristorante (colazione,pranzo e cena) vecchia e soorchissima formata da 9 tavoloni in legno mai puliti durantevi 7 gg di nostra permanenza, eternamente pieni di formiche ed altri insettini. Allestimento del buffet scarso e sporco anch'esso. Le camere di grandezza media con bagni sporchi e pieni anche li di formiche e zanzare...per fortuna c'era l'aria condizionata ed una zanzariera su un letto a baldacchino. Peccato davvero per condizioni di tenuta del hotel perché la location è veramente bella e non valorizzarla come fanno altri hotel vicino (ad esempio il Paradise Sun facendo cene davanti il mare) è uno spreco. Animazione scadente. Nel complesso è un 3 stelle mediocre in Italia ma con la possibilità di diventare un 4 stelle di nuovo quando la proprietà si deciderà ad investire quattro soldi sulla struttura, personale e pulizia visto che come prezzi é assolutamente in linea con altri alberghi limitrofi che offrono decisamente un servizio migliore. Noi su 7 notti pur avendo la mezza pensione abbiamo preferito pagare 500 rupie a testa (33 € circa) al Paradise Sun che offre una cena a buffet con decine di portate di tutti i gusti su dei tavolini adagiati davanti la spiaggia con un servizio camerieri ed una pulizia impeccabili. Se dovessi tornare a Praslin allo stesso prezzo non andrei mai più al Cot'e d'Or a meno non pagassi quanto un 3 stelle.

Posizione del villaggio straordinaria

Ribadisco la stupenda ubicazione del villaggio fronte mare e che mare! Ho apprezzato anche la simpatia e gentilezza degli animatori italiani. Consiglio un maggiore assortimento delle proposte culinarie in particolare a colazione. Senza dubbio una bella vacanza

Betaalde wifi maar voor 1 device, hotel gericht op Italiaanse groepen, andere gasten tellen niet zo mee. Service met een smile bestaat er niet. Ontbijt tot 10 uur, we zaten er tot 10.10 en men werd hier al boos om. Wel een mooi strand met ondiepe zee, alleen 's morgens kun je goed zwemmen. Veel restaurants in de buurt (15-20 minuten lopen).

Wonderful location, wanting service

We spent here 4 nights.
*Plus* The village is located on the beach of Anse Volbert, probably one of the best locations in Praslin. Other beaches, like Anse Lazio, may be ranked higher, but they are smaller and almost disappear during the high tide.

*To be aware of* This is an Italian holiday village, hence almost all the guests are Italian who have paid a meal-inclusive formula and visit the rest of the island only through the tours proposed by the same village. Some recreational activities (karaoke and similar) are organized during the evenings but they assume participants understand Italian. The staff is made by some locals as well as Italian people, who do not necessarily speak well English. Please note we are Italian too.

*Minus* We wrote a couple of emails to the travel agency managing the village before our arrival, but they never answered. Our booking was erroneously registered as the breakfast were not included. The issue appeared to be fixed when we showed hotels.com confirmation email, but kept showing out multiple times during our stay with the local staff asking us to pay for it. The efficient Martina had to intervene a couple of times. When we left, we uselessly waited for someone to come to pick our luggage. We arrived at the reception and none of the three persons there helped us with the luggage. They did not even show interest to greet us (we moved to greet them).
Bungalows' decoration was quite cheap. The bed is covered by a dusty mosquito net.
