Hotel was lovely and facilities were excellent, but what made the experience truly special was the staff and the service they provided. They were very thoughtful, right from the check-in through to the restaurant and bars. All the staff made sure to introduce themselves and were very attentive throughout our stay. Mango bar has exceptional cocktails! Breakfast was very nice too with the guest breakfast item each day. A special thank you to Ahmed who was very attentive and even provided handwritten notes on a map of La Digue for us.

The highlight of our stay were the staff who are attentive and friendly. From the reception to restaurant staff, everyone did their best to ensure that our stay is as good as possible. Refreshing welcoming drink and very knowledgeable reception staff who provided all information we needed during our stay. The rooms could benefit some refurbishment, altough this was not a big issue for us, they seem to have a charm but looked a bit dated. The dedicated pool for the Black Parrot suites guests has wonderful views especially during sunset and afternoon tea and cookies by the pool are a nice treat. Dinner options were plenty and varied during our stay. Restaurant staff were nice and always proudly presented their dishes. Check out time is bit too early - 10am, but this seem to be a standard on the island.

The hotel is incredible. Our room was spacious, very comfortable and had just the best view possible. The food was pretty good also and the staff very friendly. We recomend on reserv some good time to stay in the hotel. The pools are great, with beautiful views and also there are some complimentary activities, like kayaking, and others. The sunset view is just amazing.

An Unforgettable Stay at Coco de Mer and Black Parrot Suites We visited Praslin to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary, and our stay at Coco de Mer and Black Parrot Suites made it truly unforgettable. The staff went above and beyond to make our celebration special, surprising us with a beautifully crafted cake and a heartfelt, handmade card. It’s these personal touches that made our trip so memorable—thank you to the entire team! What truly sets this hotel apart is its outstanding staff. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Ahmed, who greeted us with a refreshing welcome drink and thoroughly explained the many complimentary activities available during our stay. His attention to detail and genuine hospitality made us feel right at home. I highly recommend opting for the half-board option during your stay. First, the food is absolutely incredible—delicious, varied, and full of local flavors. Second, the hotel is somewhat secluded, and navigating Praslin in the evening can be a bit challenging due to the narrow, unlit roads. Having dinner at the hotel is not only convenient but also a culinary delight. One pleasant surprise was that the drink prices at the hotel were quite reasonable compared to other places in the Seychelles, and the variety of beverages was impressive. Special thanks to Ajay, who took care of us at every meal. His friendly conversations, helpful suggestions about the island, and thoughtful attention to our preferences made each dining experience a pleasure. I also want to acknowledge the rest of the dinner staff, who were equally welcoming, although I regret not remembering all their names. Anura and Nirakar at the Mango Bar also deserve a mention for their attentiveness during our visits. A unique highlight of our stay was feeding an eel in the hotel’s natural stream—a truly amazing experience made possible by Raien, one of the chefs, who kindly guided us through this. The hotel itself is a bit dated, but it’s clear that they are working hard to maintain the property, and most importantly, everything is kept impeccably clean. The Wi-Fi was a little spotty, but honestly, this wasn’t an issue for us as we came here to relax and disconnect. Thank you again to the entire team for such a wonderful stay—we can't wait to return!

We unfortunately were only able to stay two nights at Coco de Mer, but still had a great experience. Coco de Mer is very modern and clean. The staff members are a dream, they're super friendly and helpful. On our arrival we were greeted by one of the directors Ash and manager Ahmed, and immediately felt welcomed and comfortable around them. We've mentioned in our booking that we were vegan and requested if they could take that into consideration and of course they catered to that. Right away at the beginning during our check-in Ahmed took notice of that and even called the chef for us. One evening the dinner was a la carte and the chef whipped up a vegan dinner menu for us and the other evening dinner was buffet night and even here he took us for a tour around the buffet and showed us what we could eat - and there were lots of choices! Breakfast is buffet style and also has a lot of choices, if by any chance there isn't the staff would definitely cater to that and cook something separately. On our departure day our ferry back to Mahe left a bit later than check-out and Ahmed tried his best to accommodate to that also and checked availability with the reception. Lucky for us we were able to check out a bit later! During breakfast and dinner the staff are always very attentive and taking their time to have chat with us sharing their stories and give out advices and recommendations on the island. Harry and Babar were super friendly and accomodating. We had a very special connection with Babar, he was so so caring! On a side note to my fellow germans: Ahmed, Harry und Babar können super deutsch! Special thanks to Ahmed and Barbar and the chef, whose name we unfortunately forgot, for making our experience at Coco de Mer so much better than we already would have.

We stayed at the hotel for a week on our honeymoon. The rooms and facilities are absolutely good. A hotel organizes a lot of programs, which is amazing, and most of them are free. Most of it is run by John, who is the heart of the hotel! It always creates a very good atmosphere. The restaurant is amazing. Every night they offer a different theme for dinner, so the dishes are always different. The beach is also very nice. Sometimes it has too many stingrays near the shore, but it doesn’t depend on the hotel.

We visited this place in month of may with our family. The hotel is a scam in lot many ways. The hotel is no cheaper they cost you hell and compared to the services they provide is nothing but purely scam. **They don’t offer regular size rooms with kids and the big size which they offer is of no use. The layout of the rooms are so messy that you don’t have space to open your luggage. The cupboards are open and they have so many like so many geckos in the room that u would really not like to unpack your luggage and arrange in the open cupboards. They are least bothered about the geckos running in the room. Even after several complaint they didn’t bother to clean the room. Every time they lied to us that they have cleaned the room but it was never cleaned. We were family of 5 people and in one room there were so many geckos that we all had to sleep together and they were least bothered. At the time of checkout they were like u can’t check out later than 10 am despite knowing that we had faced so much problems at the time of our stay and where we cooperated but they just extended the time for an hour an half and like exactly after the time there men’s were outside the room to pick the luggage. After the sunsets here it’s completely dark. There are no footlights that guides you to your room. I mean what were they even thinking when they were planning the architect of the hotel.?? With kids it’s so difficult to find ways through lush green garden to your room. The lights in the rooms are so dull. It’s just that the property has good beach area to play in sand sun and sea. That’s it!! We have paid heavily for this hotel and we regret every single penny spent here. They charge for water bottles in the restaurant area. They have a widespread buffet menu which is good for non vegetarians and partially for vegetarians. Chefs were quite helpful The pool is great and so is the welcome drink. But I would still regret my stay here because of the inconvenience we had to suffer.

Paradise sun is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. The view from the room of the palm trees and the beach is breathtaking, we love mornings like this. The service is very nice and helpful and the breakfasts and dinners are very tasty. We recommend this place!

Maximilian Reiter

Best service on a hotel we ever had. Friendly people, nice views to the beach. Good food nice animations. John is the best Entertainer. I was there with my wife on the honeymoon and on my birthday. Very nice place.

Kaisar Alexopoulos

Let’s start from the top. Paradise sun hotel is 8-10 minutes max from the ferry. In an amazing spot with a great beach up front. Everyone from the staff was fantastic.Very friendly, always trying to help. We met most of the people that work there and they truly want you to feel like home. The experience was amazing, island vibes, everything. Food was really good and the chef was an amazing guy! Also they had weekly activities planned and you could join for free! You didn’t felt like you were in a typical hotel, you felt like home. I would recommend everyone to give it a try. Till next time ! (Photos from the garden and room view )

Tuna Stern

Absolutely fantastic. 2nd time being in Seychelles, we wanted to treat ourselves to a nice time, culminating in a visit to Constance Lemuria. From entry to exit, it was a luxurious atmosphere hard to replicate, especially on Praslin. The staff was amazing, the food (especially DIVA restaurant) breathtaking and the location just perfect. Whether you take a hike to Anse Georgette, chill at the turtle beach (shout out to Robert), Lemuria offers a tranquil experience for people looking to relax. I loved it and we will certainly visit again. Thank you again to the whole staff! P.S - waiting time at The Nest can be heavy sometimes.

Outstanding Service – A Memorable Highlight of Our Vacation During our recent stay, Marc from the In Room Dining team truly exceeded all expectations. His flawless execution of the Sundowner event was an experience we will never forget. From start to finish, every detail was carefully thought out, creating a seamless and relaxing atmosphere. Marc’s friendly and professional demeanor made the entire experience feel even more special. His organizational skills and attention to detail were unmatched, leaving nothing to chance. Thanks to him, this moment became the absolute highlight of our vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for more. If we could rate Marc’s service higher than 10 stars, we absolutely would. His dedication to excellence is a rare find, and we feel incredibly lucky to have experienced it. Highly recommend – Marc made our stay unforgettable! And beside that we had a perfect stay for 4 days in this highly recommended hotel🙌

Constance Lemuria was our first accommodation in Seychelles, and what an unforgettable experience it was! The room was spacious and very comfortable, with a huge bathroom, good amenities, and impeccable housekeeping service. The hotel's facilities are also excellent: a golf course, tennis courts, kids club, restaurants, a wonderful cascading pool, gym... everything was wonderful! The food served at the restaurants we tried was absolutely delicious. The breakfast was plentiful and had options for all tastes. The hotel's beach is delightful, but there is also the option to visit the beautiful Anse Georgette with the hotel's transport. However, I must say that what impressed me the most about the hotel was the staff. Absolutely all the employees you encounter during your stay are the epitome of friendliness. Cordial, attentive, friendly, cheerful. They are certainly the ones who transform this place into a true paradise!

Hanna Stern

Our stay at Constance Lemuria was nothing short of fantastic! We visited from August to September, and while the weather was rainier than anticipated, we were still able to enjoy a few breathtakingly sunny days. This was our second trip to Seychelles, and once again, we had no trouble accessing the stunning Anse Georgette beach — a true highlight of any stay at Lemuria. From the moment you arrive, the service at Constance Lemuria stands out. The hospitality starts at breakfast with personal table assignments and attentive service, ensuring that you feel taken care of throughout your stay. The sheer number of dedicated staff and chefs on hand adds to the luxurious experience, making you feel pampered at every meal. We highly recommend dining at DIVA Restaurant — one of the resort's gems. The service is simply amazing, the food delicious, and the ambiance is perfect for a relaxed, upscale evening. The staff are always pleasant and attentive, creating a dining experience that is both sophisticated and welcoming. Constance Lemuria offers a wide range of on-site activities, from water sports to golfing, ensuring there's always something to do. We spent most of our time relaxing on the beach and indulging in spa treatments which were a delightful way to unwind. The spa facilities are beautifully designed, adding an extra touch of tranquility to the experience. The resort's location is truly outstanding, surrounded by lush greenery and pristine beaches that feel like a private paradise. We were impressed by the seamless pick-up service arranged through their partner, 7South, which made our arrival smooth and stress-free. Overall, Constance Lemuria exceeded our expectations with its blend of exceptional service, luxurious amenities, and breathtaking surroundings. It’s a perfect choice for anyone looking to experience the best of the Seychelles in style.

This is a nice enough resort, but we were disappointed to be given the run around regarding our honeymoon trip there. When we checked in, it was raining and it took a very long time to get from the welcome area to the front desk. Sara, who checked us in, let us know we'd be getting a resort credit due to our delayed honeymoon. The paperwork even said "delayed" next to honeymoon. We then stayed for 4 nights and asked at the front desk each day about the honeymoon credit after sending our marriage license because we never saw confirmation of receipt. I also asked at least once through WhatsApp on the "manager" line and called from our room once. We asked for a manager to a few times but never saw one. People at the front desk would disappear behind a door and tell us they'd get back to us. They never did. The night before we checked out, someone at the front desk finally told us what the honeymoon credit was (50 euro a night) and that we wouldn't be getting it because our honeymoon was not within 6 months of our wedding. The most annoying part is that we didn't expect this credit until we were told we'd be getting it when we checked in. Beyond this issue, the resort was fine but the best part was the proximity to Anse Georgette. I expect we'd stay elsewhere if we visit Praslin again.

Raffles Seychelles was an absolute dream stay! From the moment we entered into the panoramic pool villa, we were welcomed with honeymoon decorations and a beautiful calming interior. The villa is simply the best room we’ve ever stayed in, and it’s amazing to have our own private pool too! I also really enjoy watching sunrise from the bath. The food is fantastic all around. We are a massive fan of Asian food so we are frequent at Curieuse Restaurant. Chef Boy’s food is absolutely delicious and very authentic, and we enjoyed every dish. The manager Mr. Kareem has been so helpful and friendly to us too throughout our stay. And we throughly enjoyed the tortoise feeding activity at Raffles, and the Sunday Tandoori Indian Night. Thank you Raffles for making our honeymoon feel so special!

Our 5-night stay in Raffles Seychelles has been one of the most relaxing and indulgent experiences. We came here after a 7-day safari and were looking to unwind, and the resort, its amenities, and the staff enabled us to do exactly that. From check in till check out, the staff were extremely friendly, courteous, welcoming, and took care of our every need. Staff often remembered things like our villa number, names, and even our regular orders at breakfast - little touches that made it feel special. Special mention for Celine (hope we got her name right!) who took extra effort and care to celebrate our anniversary and birthdays over two dinners, reserving special tables for us and decorating them. This was entirely unexpected and a very sweet surprise, which we were particularly touched by. The villas were clean, well maintained, and comfortable, we had some excellent sleeps! The views were also incredible and we really enjoyed spending time in the private pool looking out over the ocean or reading with the ocean view in the background. The resort has several activities for guests to get involved in, like yoga, live music, complimentary cocktails, etc., which was very nice. They also provided free snorkeling equipment which we used three times. Although the reefs near the resort are not big, we still saw some schools of fish and two stingrays, which we enjoyed. Dinner at Losean Restaurant and Curieuse Restaurant were both excellent and the half board package meant that we were always extremely well fed! Breakfast was also sumptuous - a good buffet spread and ample ala carte options were available to suit all tastes. Vegetarian menus were also available for ala carte meals. The pool bar and restaurant also had a good selection of food and drink if you wanted lunch or some nibbles by the poolside. If we were to nitpick, the only thing was that there were no vegetarian options available on Creole night, which was a buffet dinner with live music and dancing - this meant that we had to pick the other restaurant and didn't get to participate in the live music and dance, which we would have loved! Perhaps the hotel could consider having some veggie dishes in the buffet in future :). Overall, we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have felt like we got the rest and relaxation we needed. Looking forward to returning here in future!

We stayed at Raffles for 5 nights at the end of our honeymoon. Overall, we loved our stay. We were in a panoramic ocean view villa, which was very spacious, well appointed and had a beautiful outdoor deck with stunning views. We were on the half board package, which I would recommend as the restaurants are excellent (but expensive) and the island doesn’t offer that many options in terms of nice dinner restaurants. The staff were so helpful and friendly throughout, going out of their way to make our stay perfect. We received a few nice gifts and perks to celebrate our honeymoon and we were invited for complementary cocktails by hotel management one night, which was very nice. The hotel beach is beautiful and we were able to use kayaks and snorkelling equipment there for free, which was a great touch. Overall, if you can squeeze it in your budget, we would highly recommend Raffles for a comfortable and relaxing stay on Praslin. It’s one of those experiences that you won’t forget very quickly.

Raffles Seychelles I think it was a Bucket list trip for many of us to visit the Seychelles islands and it is invariably a trip of a lifetime. So choosing a destination to stay is super important and all the key hotel chains have a hotel there in Seychelles ( scattered over various islands) Of course there are many places with all types of budgets so choosing how much you want to spend is what will make the decision easier. They all will have their options on half or full board etc We chose Raffles, mainly from their website and reviews from previous guests. It was one of the best decisions and also one of our favourite holidays ( a large part of it was because of Raffles hospitality ) Rooms - we had the ocean pool villa which seems to be the most popular and common villas. 24/7 air conditioning is available/ spacious rooms with a mini bar/ all overlook the sea and you have your own mini pool outside the bedroom overlooking the ocean ( as seen in the picture ) . Massive king size comfortable bed / twice room clean and then down service and excellent room service and menus too. There is a bath / both inside and outside showers etc . There is also a buggy service available all day to take you to any of the restaurants or pool bar / areas. Staff is super helpful and friendly and service is exceptional. Fiver star to say the least in all aspects. Food / breakfast was exceptional/ superb bakery / croissants/ and has cooked breakfast options including an amazing omelette/ avocado toast etc .. you name it and they have it. They even have chick peas masala and paranthas for breakfast and it was delicious. Daily they have smoothies too plus the full range of exotic fruits and yogurts etc For lunch they have only 1 option available which is the pool side bar and restaurant. That’s my only negative point for such an amazing place to have 1 lunch option. We went there when there was 50% occupancy of the hotel / I wonder when they are fully booked how would the 1 restaurant cope. Have to say their pool side menu is awesome. Has all the classic food options like sea food pastas / club sandwich/ wagyu burgers etc ( we stayed for a few days so we ended up tasting the entire menu and all the dishes were really amazing ) While we stayed they had a few special nights too like a tandoori night ( Indian curry night with Bollywood music ) - it was superb. One night was a sushi night and it was really good too. One was a fisherman night which was concentrated on seafood - which was excellent as well. They have a pan Asian restaurant which serves Thai and Indian cuisine/ that was fabulous. Overall great restaurants and food was of amazing quality. All the restaurants served us with all the famous well known brands of wines and spirits. They have all the famous wines from France such as Chablis / Sancerre / wines from Bordeaux and Provence etc / champagnes / you wouldn’t miss Europe. Hospitality was top notch and as expected from a brand like raffles. The hotel is very close to Anse Lazio the famous beach. They provide to all the excursions and local trips from their reception. They have their own beach too for a walk and a swim ( which is ok and not as amazing as other beaches on the island ) Their pools are like 47 meters long and are a joy for swimming and they even have snorkelling lessons for beginners. We enjoyed a Bordeaux wine tasting evening too on one of the nights. So overall loads of fun activities are organised by the hotel to keep the guests occupied and entertained. Verdict 5/5 Budget as per website For more pictures and information please visit my instagram page @s50ush

+ We chose this hotel for our honeymoon and are very happy about it. It is a beautiful house with great villas (we had 213 Ocean View) and were very happy with this villa. What we particularly liked was that everything is very green and the beach is particularly beautiful and well-kept, and the rooms also have everything you need. A big compliment to the best concierge I have ever had in a hotel. Raffles ma Brigitte is a heart of a concierge. She makes the impossible possible and in just a few minutes. Having a concierge like her really raises the stars in a hotel. She made our stay even more special. Also a Tolö employee: Pasek, who answered all our questions at any time and always with a smile and was always there when we needed something. - The only negative points are that the hotel is a bit old after years and needs a little renovation here and there. The breakfast could also be a bit more varied. However, I have already told them about this on site and who knows, maybe something will happen here :) Otherwise, it is the perfect place to switch off and relax. Also the island Praslin is for us the number one to stay. Thank you for having us :)
