Words fail to express the absolute luxury of staying at this resort. It is green, blue, and bright. There are flowers and birds. Best of all, you get to enjoy it while having complete privacy. We want to extend a special thanks to the manager Luigi, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. And to Toto who drove the shuttle boat and guided our snorkeling tour to St. Pierre.

Don’t come for the wi-fi

The team was wonderful. They took time to discuss and made the stay very enjoyable. They were always ready to help.

Rudimentary breakfast, nothing exceptional for the amount paid for one night.

A private hut with access to the sea. A magnificent balcony, overlooking the ocean. Too expensive compared to other hotels around the world. But it was worth it for the unique experience, even more so because we were the only guests on the island.

Paying over 1000 eur a night, you expect water and wifi to be included…

Nice vibe of the private island, bungalow with direct access to the ocean

We had troubles getting any sleep as the bed was feeling and smell a bit like dump… we do understand being literally on the water might have this effect, maybe investing in new mattress and pillows would help.

This is a stunning place to stay and it’s one of those experiences that you are prepared to perhaps, take on some less than pleasant aspects. The island It’s absolutely stunning, perfect for snorkeling .

It was frustrating they charge for things like wifi when you have paid so much, but if you are in the room above the restaurant you get away with it. People may find food menu limited but thats to be expected and the food was amazing.

Stunning location, felt like your own little island. Food was delicious, staff were amazing.

Property need lot of upgradation and maintenence work. Lot of insects entering the room, door and windows need to be intact. Jacuzzi not working fully

Remote island and a peaceful stay

Stayed in October 2023

Beds a bit hard, few things not working, but given the island location all was understandable. Only real issue is hotel on main island of Praslin playing crappy euro pop on certain nights. A week day stay better than weekends.

Location is outstanding, staff super friendly and helpful.

It was literally a paradise on earth and a dream come true experience of staying in an island! Would highly recommend it for couples for a unique experience. Staffs were exceptionally good and welcoming :)

It is clear that this is a hotel with a lot of history, and that it could do with a few updates. However the bed spread had stains and the bathroom needed a good scrub. All in all we liked the experience.

The location is incredible. The snorkeling around the island is one of the best. We have seen a tremendous array of different fish. The breakfast was plenty, the lunch and dinner were delicious. The staff were very friendly, and eager to help.

Honestly for us it was perfect! If you are looking for a modern chic accommodation, this might not be what you're looking for as it's more rustic style, but if you like the adventure and like being up close to nature (some friendly geckos and hermit crabs) around the island, it's wonderful.

By far the best part of our stay in the Seychelles, and utterly deserving of being called magical. It's a private island only 5mins boat ride from the shores of Praslin - and in low tide you can even walk across - but the feeling of being on a special hideaway in a traditional style wooden lodge was amazing. The staff were brilliant (thank you Emmanuel for everything) and walking into the Pirate Suite we were wowed by how big and charming the space was. As there's only 5 rooms on the island we were not expecting the dining options to be that good - but it was so fantastic we decided to eat there every day. The fresh fish and creole curries were excellent, I highly recommend the shrimps on skewers. Our room had a ladder straight into the sea so we went snorkeling every day and there's a sea turtle that seems to feed by the big rock next to the island all the time, so we regularly visited it.

the island is amazing. Emanuel is really nice just as everyone else

This place is magical. First of all, the staff is amazing. Then, the island in itself is a little piece of paradise, with a lot of animals, amazing views, and access to the ocean. You also have all the materials you need to go snorkeling around the island which is really nice. The room was great. One thing I would recommend to anyone who liked Italian food is to order the carbonara there. It was a 10/10.

Un petit bijou ! Worth booking!

Almost everything. Great room on a calm, private island. Specifically liked the lighting concept in the room, as well as the breakfast & dinner. Great snorkelling spot. Overall, the secenery is great.

This was truly a wonderful and unique experience. We absolutely loved the private island vibe. The care was superb. Couldn’t ask for a more attentive staff. The food was absolutely delicious. A must add to your Seychelles bucket list!

Not a criticism of the property, but our choice - because the hotel is an island and so close to what seems like “better” facilities, we wasted time onshore. Highly recommend eating at the restaurant as opposed to taking the boat across to town and making the most of your time on Chauve Souris

The location and geography of this accommodation could speak for itself and you would be blown away, but the staff take this to another level. From our first interaction on the beach at Cote D’or, orientation, check out and everything in between, this is a magnificent group of people. The historical value of this site is significant and it has kept touch with the needs of modern luxury. Pure relaxation, isolation and a feeling of being one with the landscape of Seychelles

Location was fantastic. Sailed past the island so many times over the years and always fancied staying. Old, Quirky absolutly lovely!!

Whoever needs to complain about missing gadgets when you can have a nature paradise all to yourself?

The very best tiny hotel experience. Unique setting, natural luxury. A special place for special people to enjoy and never forget. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable and well cared for.
