Acajou Beach Resort

Location is excellent

Food needs improvement

The beach was exceptional and by far the best-maintained beach in the area. The breakfast is a bit repetitive but very solid. The dinners were exceptional. The staff is extremely kind and helpful. The room was really great and clean. Acajou is not a huge resort. It is a cosy and a smallish resort and for us that was really what we were looking for.

Das Hotel ist super! Sehr freundliches Personal, gute Ausstattung und tolle Lage. Der Strand des Hotels ist auch toll, weil es dort sauber ist und nur leichte Wellen, sodass man gut schwimmen kann. Es ist ein tolles Hotel zum Entspannen und Abschalten. Frühstück und Abendessen gibt es als Buffet und mittags kann man vor Ort zu sehr fairen Preisen auch etwas Gutes essen.

Die Internetstabilität ist ausbaubar.

Location- on a beautiful beach

This property is advertised and priced as a 4-star resort, but in reality it is maximum a 3-star hotel due to outdated facilities and poor maintenance. Room: The room was only partially renovated. The bathroom was very old, with worn fixtures and heavy limescale. The door had large gaps between the frame and the door, and during rain it felt uncomfortable and insecure – far from a 4-star standard. Restaurant & common areas: There is only one restaurant, located in the same small space with reception and bar. The area is dark, unrenovated and far from the beach. Only the bar corner looked slightly updated; the rest was old and unattractive, more like a budget hotel. Food: Very limited choice, poor quality and almost no variety. At breakfast we had practically nothing to eat except omelette, completely unacceptable for this price level. Gardens & pool: The “gardens” are just a small neglected courtyard with burnt grass and plants in pots, nothing close to Seychelles vegetation. The pool is small and has no ocean view, only a hedge and an unused paved area in front. Pool bar: Old, dirty tables near the pool and it was never open during the hours we were there. Staff: After we complained and requested to leave, the attitude became unfriendly and no solution was offered. For around 600 EUR per night, these conditions are absolutely unjustified. We decided to leave after 2 nights, losing the rest of the stay because the hotel refused any assistance. Fortunately, Booking.com handled the situation professionally and compensated us partially – 10/10 for Booking. Conclusion: This property is seriously overpriced and does not meet a 4-star standard. I recommend travelers to carefully consider other options in Praslin.
