Coco de Mer Hotel and Black Parrot Suites

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.
