Members' reviews on DUC DE PRASLIN
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Nevertheless, we take good note of your point regarding the way the lady answered and will address this point with the designated manager.
You will be welcomed with:
* Unreasonably long wait at the reception while being eaten alive by mosquittos with no mosquitto spray available at the reception (traditional Seychelles service from 1990s)
* Water outage notices (understandable for a self service chalet or a 2 star accommodation - but hotels above that have to solve these issues instead of notifying guests)
* Poor cleaning practices - 2 of 2 rooms we had were presented with dirty bedsheets at check-in
* Swamp smell and many mosquittos in the territory of hotel due to multiple standing water areas
* Cost-cutting on every corner, including turning off the AC when the room key is with you (leading to soaking wet bedsheets), lack of bathroom slippers and no local workers / chefs
* Poor food selection - only unhealthy (soaking with oil) options for half board dinner
* Disco at night with heavy bass outside of the new 'ocean' rooms, organized by the hotel itself with no soundproof windows and no regard to guests' sleep quality.
This is not a place even remotely comparable to real 5 star hotels like Lemuria or Raffles on Praslin. At half the price, you get 1/10th of the value. Don't fall for the 5 star rating and low price, and better book either a nice self-service chalet, or go for a proper 5 star accommodation.
La plage est toute proche ainsi que quelques commerces, guichets de retrait.
Pratique, l'hôtel se charge de contacter le loueur de voiture pour vous.
Accueil parfait de la part de Ron dès notre arrivée.
Merci pour tout !!
Perfect location, close to the harbour, close to the famous beaches and boat trip departure.
You will have to choice between the quiet area and the modern building which then seems both super great.
And let’s talk about the owner of the hotel, coming to talk to his clients every day and willing to help for anything.
THANK YOU ❤️
