Nothing.

Beautiful beachfront grounds. We had the most perfectly located beachfront room, with beautiful sea views. It consisted of a spacious semidetached bungalow, but it felt very private and we never noticed the neighboring room. The small and bay and beach are beautiful, we were not so lucky with the weather and sea conditions, but it must be gorgeous with calm weather conditions. Breakfast was excellent, served beachfront, buffet style, and there is a great egg station. We did not have any meal plan, so we had to use the ground floor restaurant, where the menu was simple but the food was good. One evening there was a creole buffet for all guests and we loved it. There is a diving school right on the premises, and the hotel has a few other boats on site for excursions too. Staff was always very friendly and helpful, they went out of their way to organize everything we asked for, including late check out. You can walk to the next village in roughly half an hour. For Praslin, we found it to be good value for money.

Most of the rooms seem to be scattered up the hill in the gardens, and while they probably have a beautiful sea view too, we would not have enjoyed being on the hill. Our room was spacious, but some things like the bathroom or the furniture on the terrace were a bit outdated, like 1980s, and quite standard, instead of high end. The aircon was functional but a bit old, and very loud, so we had to turn it off at night to sleep. They apparently have 2 restaurants; we had to use the restaurant on the ground floor, for guests with no meal plan; the menu is simple and never changed; the food was good, but it got boring after two days. Half-board guests use the other restaurant, upstairs, but we didn't really understand the difference since both restaurants are connected in the same space, and there seems to be only one kitchen, and on buffet night we got to eat upstairs too. We had the feeling the separation is artificial and unnecessary; the hotel doesn't really have 2 restaurants, and doesn't need them anyhow. The pool's position is a bit unfortunate, a bit hidden at the back, with restricted views, so not so attractive, but we don't need to use the pool on Seychelles anyhow.

- Next to Côte D’Or where you have some restaurants and supermarkets. - the beach if the hotel is beautiful. - the house keeping staff is extremely pleasant. - the room is beautiful and spacious.

- The internet doesn’t work well, also after they give you a user to another system, it is still not decent. - they knew we were honeymooners, but they did not offer anything to celebrate it. didn’t even mention it. at least some decorations would be nice. - they charge for EVERYTHING, and a lot. you want to pay in euros rather than in Seychelles rupees- pay extra, you want to order room service - pay extra for the delivery, etc.
