Anse Kerlan Beach Hotel

"We stayed at Islander Hotel for 5 nights. While check-in was pleasant, the overall experience was disappointing for the price. Cleanliness was poor — rooms were only cleaned every other day, and there were no housekeeping staff regularly present. The receptionist was friendly at first but largely unhelpful afterward. We weren’t informed that water supply stops during the night. While we understand the water scarcity in Seychelles, most hotels have water storage solutions — this one did not. There were also insects and reptiles in the villa, which made the stay uncomfortable. The restaurant had very limited variety and hardly any guests, so we often had to cook ourselves or travel far to find decent food. The lighting inside the villa was extremely dim, creating a gloomy and depressing atmosphere in the evenings. We didn’t feel especially welcome overall, and guest support seemed minimal. The beach shown in photos isn’t usable due to strong currents, so we had to travel daily to other beaches. The property has potential but is poorly managed. It feels like the owner is absent and the current team is disengaged. We definitely overpaid and wouldn’t recommend this place in its current state"

"Encontrar este magnífico hotel ha sido un oasis de paz y tranquilidad.Con un servicio inmejorable de 5 estrellas, todo el equipo recepción, restaurante, mozos, seguridad han superado cualquier experiencia previa en todo mi vida y soy una persona exigente.Las habitaciones necesitan algo de mantenimiento pero todo lo demás supera con creces. Una puesta de sol de privilegio en la hamaca o mesa privada, una piscina de piedra, menú degustación cada noche. Me he sentido en el Paraiso.Muchas gracias"

"Stunning hotel and location on Praslin Island. The staff make this hotel, every single person took care of me and my wife on our honeymoon. Great restaurants, clean rooms and resort overall. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone thinking of booking, you won’t be disappointed!"

"Marvelous rooms, extraordinary service, excellent food and facilities"

"Peaceful, quiet, relaxing and staff/service was perfect in every way."

"Had an excellent stay at Raffles Seychelles. We got in early so they were able to allow us to stay in an open villa while we waited for ours to get ready and we were lucky to get ocean view of only for a short while. We were also able to stay a little longer in our villa upon departure as well. Everything was amazing but especially loved seeing the Tortoises, the breathtaking views, and the wonderful staff from check in to transportation to the restaurants. Would highly recommend. "

"Hotel is absolutely amazing, within the nature, pool is next to the sea as well as the restaurants. Vanessa was super nice with us through our stay."

"You arrive as a guest ,you leave as a friend Having just spent a week at the Hotel Acajou Beach resort and I have to say Joanise and her team really go out of their way to make their guests feel special . Set on the beautiful Cote D’or beach every little finishing touch has been thought of , but what makes it extra special are the friendly ,hard working staff. The food courtesy of chef Indika and his team was always a delight and as well as tasting delicious was presented beautifully. As I previously said all the staff were absolutely first class with nothing ever too much trouble but a special mention has to go to Andrew, Indika and most of all Suresh whose smile is almost as bright as the sunshine and is one of the most pleasant ,happy, and helpful people I have ever met. The rooms were very clean and equipped with everything you need and also a super efficient air conditioning . There was never a problem getting a sun bed either at the pool or at the beach ( although little side tables at the beach would be nice ) Would I stay here again ? In a heartbeat . "

"An incredible stay where we were extremely well looked after by our hosts and had the most wonderful wedding. Each and every staff member was super friendly and we were extremely lucky to be blessed with beautiful surroundings, amazing wildlife and fantastic food. Thank you for making our stay the most enjoyable it could have been"
