I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were unbelievably spacious and beautifully decorated, with a stunning balcony that truly took my breath away. The service was top-notch, always making me feel right at home. The location is a hidden gem on Praslin island, offering a mix of tranquility and convenience. While the dining options were decent, the breathtaking surroundings more than made up for it.

I felt at one with the outside during my stay at this hotel. The rooms were large enough that the in-room couch could be made into a bed, and they were excellent and very spacious. On the downside, some service staff seemed disinterested and wandered off, and maintenance issues in some areas could be hazardous to guests. The dining experience was a mix of positives and negatives, with some nice food options at 'Le Bon Coin' but a modest buffet affair overall.

I was just yards from the sea on the second floor, feeling at one with the outside. The room was spacious, nicely decorated, and clean, but the dining experience wasn't as impressive. The service took special care of our vegan food needs, offering good quality but with pacing issues. The location was superb, near the airport, bus stop, supermarkets, restaurants, and banks. The Saturday night entertainment was delightful, and the surroundings were lovely for a stroll through ancient woodlands.
