While the property itself is exceptional, its location isn’t all that great. The beach is full of seaweed and as we were there during the July August season it was extremely windy.

Indian Ocean Lodge is by far the most beautiful hotel on Praslin Island, it’s very modern, clean, the food is absolutely world class and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Small hotel but this provides closer and great treatment from staff. Rooms are specious, clean. Breakfast and Dinner was outstanding, by far better than in Kempinski we stayed afterwards. Reception very friendly and helpful.

We truly enjoyed our stay. The hotel was just newly renovated, very clean, very beautiful & well maintained and all the staff were friendly, assisting us in every way possible with any request we had from helping us out to rent a car to organizing our honeymoon dinner & late checkout adjustments. It is true that there is not a big variety of food but honestly, whatever they are serving is very fresh and delicious. Overall: very peaceful place, we would love to return one day.

Only the Sandflies: We were completely covered from sand-fly bites that itch unbelievably and last up to more than 2 weeks. They live at the beach / pool area and should be mentioned by the hotel, as you will only notice them the next day dafür being bitten. We even had them treated with cortisone cream as they were so many and so severe.

From the check in to check out the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a perfect stay. The kitchen chef even introduced herself to us while our welcome drink Was served and we were amazed by the fully renovated property. The pools had enough sun beds and were not Too crowded and we could even enjoy the sea view and sundown whilst swimming. The rooms were well equipped, tastefully furnished and the beds were very comfortable. What made our stay even more special was the beautifully organized honeymoon dinner at the beach , that the staff provided and decorated for us. All in all it was a beautiful hotel, which we can strongly recommend.

- The food was fine but not as good as we expected. They try to serve fancy dishes, but in fact they overcomplicate stuff and forget about the basics. E.g. some dishes were overcooked. - The service could be better. For example, they had some issue with breakfast in one of the days. The kitchen employees were late, so they started serving breakfast just a few minutes before we leave for a daily trip. I would expect some special treatment for such a failure.

Best looking hotel in Praslin for sure (it was renovated lately). Very quiet and calm. Spacious and modern rooms, located just a few steps from the beach. Awesome pool and beach. Service at the restaurant was great.

Every now and then they got our orders a bit wrong. was no big deal though and they were always happy to correct it.

We were really happy about the very friendly and helpful staff. All our extra wishes and dietary requests regarding food were not an issue at all. Hotel had recently been renovated and everything looked really nice. We especially appreciated that they organized a small informal wedding ceremony at the beach for us during sunset with no extra cost! The manager himself was present to take pictures and a short video which he then sent to us. Great service.

Everything was fine.

Good location on the Grand Anse, parking place included, the room we recieved was wonderful and very confortable. It has a balcony with view to the ocean but in the shades of the palm treas, equiped with own bed & chairs, it is a good spot to drink a coffee/tee which is free available in the room. Bed is big and confortable. Storage options are sufficent & for the values there is a safe. Air conditioning works fine. Tv wifi ok. There is a small fridge (minibar, but it was without bevrages) you can store & cool you own drinks, water etc. you bought. Today the hotel has 3 stars, but they explained they are planning to upgrade to 4 in the next monthes. We tried the breakfast, lunch & diner as well. The food is delicious and the prices are reasonoble compared to other restaurants. Hotel staff is very friendly they are always ready to help & support in anything you need.

We shortened our stay there due to many irritating issues: 1. The air conditioning did not cool the room properly. Despite our request, the staff didn’t take sufficient action to resolve it. 2. There was a power outage that lasted several hours. 3. There was no hot water in the shower for an extended period. 4. The digital lock on the room entrance was broken, and we had to access the room via the balcony. 5. The mattress was a low cost one... Couldn't sleep comfortably.

The view, the pool and the restaurant, the restaurant staff was great and kind!

The staff were not very nice people. We requested for our rooms to be changed, they said they’re fully booked even though they weren’t. Our kettle wasn’t working, water in the rooms is not changed and WiFi wasn’t working most of the time.

The property is really beautiful, the beach beds, Rooms are amazing.

The pool area could need some maintenance, almost sliced my finger at the pool ladder and hurt my foot at broken floor panels.

We liked the standard and the climate of the room.
