Village du Pecheur

This is a special hotel. It was designed by an Italian painter (Lorenzo Appiani) in the 1960’s. The forms and contours of the walls and public areas reminiscent of Santorini, the relaxed open layout, the original restored wooden detailing, the materials, everything was selected and planned with a keen eye to have an aesthetic calming effect. It’s the ideal hideaway hotel, perfectly zoned indoor/outdoor dining area, a small number of rooms so it never feels crowded even on the beach directly in front of the hotel. The service was also spectacular, we fondly remember the genuine interest and care shown to us (couple with 4 year old child) by Chez, the main administrator. You may be tempted when looking at the price of a room to go to one of the “flashier” hotels a little up the beach, but be careful! You won’t find the beauty and tranquility there that you’re probably looking for in Seychelles. This hotel is a MUST STAY!

The service was excellent from booking transfers and a hire car pre-arrival to arranging a tour and good f&b service throughout. The hotel is on a beautiful calm beach and close to shops and restaurants. I think the location on Praslin is ideal. The room was standard but still comfortable. Our only gripe was that the bathroom did not have enough ventilation without a window of decent fan.

This hotel is right by the beach, although we stayed at an Amex building across the road. Rooms seem to have been updated with modern tiles. Breakfast was ample with fast service for a la carte items. I especially liked the staff, their attentiveness and engagement with the guests. Location was excellent with several nice restaurants within walking distance. For a medium budget hotel, I would recommend it.

We visited (just) the restaurant and it was amazing. The cocktails and servings we had were astonishingly good. As we are vegans it’s quite hard to find suitable food here on the Seychelles but the Curry and Ratatouille were without any dairy or anything else. The view was also very awesome :)

You walk into the port and the first thing you get is a smile. They are fantastic. From the moment you arrive until you leave the hotel. The rooms are very cosy. The rooms are very spacious. We were in the hotel that directly overlooks the beach. The only thing that they should put more care and attention is in the breakfasts. The place where you have breakfast is wonderful but the food needs to be changed. Overall the place is great. The best are the rooms with balcony overlooking the beach.
