Villas De Mer - Praslin Island

This is a beautiful Guesthouse right on the beach. They have a restaurant & rental cars on site. It is far from the preferred snorkeling beach, but a rental car will get you there & it is on the bus route. My biggest dislike is the additional charge for the A/C - it was the only place I stayed in Seychelles that charged to use it. Room includes a kitchen & has a nice porch.

Walking distance from everything. Very comfortable & quiet. Kitchen with microwave & a BBQ by the porch if you'd rather eat in. No beach view here, but the homey feel & friendly owner/staff are awesome.

We spent only 2 days in Acajou hotel in Praslin and we had to book on a short notice. I think it's a good hotel for what we paid. The check in was smooth and reasonably quick. They showed us to the rooms and we saw that one of the bedsheets was dirty so they changed it immediately. Breakfast selection was alright but not amazing...but there's not many restaurants around so you better have it. Shops in the Island close early so you probably will have dinner there as well....don't order the steaks. Also make sure you have an insect repellant handy as there are tiny mosquitoes around at night. Lastly, don't waste your time at the hotel beach, head to Anse Lazio ASAP.

Try the hotel's menu!!! It's great food.

Value was good.. I'm not picky and don't require fancy surroundings with a pool and overpriced room, restaurtant, etc. Even thouigh I gave this place high marks, irt's based on price vs value. What did bum me out was CROWING ROOSTERS.. starting at 5 am.. incessantly, ALL DAY LONG. If I could have figured a way to take out the two roosters without getting caught, I would have. I was very glad to be leaving when I did.
