The rooms were ideal and the staff very attentive. It’s hard to pick a fault but with a young family it was a little quiet.

Beautiful setting, lovely rooms and the food generally very good. The restaurant area is beautiful but they do need to work out better ways to cover the buffet. The served dinners were very nice and the service good. The included trips were very good and it was astonishing they were free. Realistically this isn’t on the best beach on the Seychelles as there was seaweed and it was shallow but we did really enjoy ourselves here. A tip for Praslin visitors, go on a trip to Curieuse to see the coco de mer seed, it is beautiful there and a lot better value than the 20 euros per person at Vallee de Mai!
