Paradise Sun Hotel Seychelles

We stayed 9 nights for our honeymoon. We've come back to Italy 2 days ago and we already miss it! It's really a paradise! VENUE The resort is wonderful, it is immersed in nature, we loved waking up and hearing the various birds that live in the gardens. Our room was inside a chalet very very closed to the beach, but surrounded by palms, other trees and bushes. At a 5 minutes walk there's a small town with markets, shops, ATMs. Breakfast was buffet and served between 7 and 10 am under a nice patio facing the swimming pool. Dinner was also buffet and served in a beautiful patio restaurant on the beach. The resort has a swimming pool which was useful for the days when the sea was too rough. Also, September is stingrey season on Anse Volbert, so swimming close to the beach wasn't very safe: the swimming pool was a good compromise for the days we weren't out at sea for trips to other islands. The resort also has a football table and a beach volley court bookable for free. HOSPITALITY Hospitality was 10 stars: all the staff was kind and always helpful, we will really miss them! We were on our honeymoon, as I said: when we arrived we were welcomed with a glass of prosecco wine and then guided to our room, where we found hearts created with bed sheets and "happy honey moon" written with grass leaves. So cute! Also, included in our package (half board) they offered us a romantic dinner on the beach, with a bottle of Champagne (!) and when we got back to our room, we found again a big heart created with out bed sheets. Sweet suprise! FOOD&DRINK Food was wonderful. Each evening had a buffet of different cuisine (Creole - which is the local cuisine -, BBQ, Italian, International, Seafood, Asian...). We particularly loved how they cooked fish and vegetables, and their various sauces and soups. We also had lunch there 2-3 times, when there's a-la-carte menu, and were always happy. I suggest the salt and pepper calamari, the small market fish and seafood skewers. Cocktails were also varied, mostly based on Seyschelles Rum (mainly Takamaka), but they also served other drinks like Caipirina, Mohito, Aperol/Campari Spritz, *****ni, Gin&Tonic... all the classics. Wine was mainly Italian or French and therefore was great. It costed around 15-25 euro per bottle, so drinkwise prices (and quality) were quite similar to European ones in a 4 star restaurant. ENTERTAINMENT AND COMPLEMENTARY STUFF Every 2 nights there was live music (nice cover bands) and every Friday there was Creole night, a show about Creole culture, music and dance. very nice and fun. Snorkelling equipment and other sea sports equipment were complementary, which was super useful. Every 2 days they also organised free sunset cruises, even though we couldn't join because we were always on trips. The resort, too, organised trips to other islands (we didn't join because we had already booked trips with other agencies), these were around 100 euro per person, which is the usual price for trips there.

Visited this amazing hotel in september, 9 nights. It really is beautiful, perfectly placed between a tropical garden and the turquoise ocean, a real paradise! We were warmly received and everybody was extremely nice and helpful. The beach is fabulous: softy white sand, palm trees, beautiful sea, safe to swim. Take watershoes as there are sting rays, as well as in other beaches, like anse Lazio. You can walk in the beach for like 30 minutes, it is the biggest in Praslin and one of the prettiest, very safe and with ATM, shops, restaurants. This hotel has a great location, there is a bus stop near by and you can also rent a car or arrange for boat tours with the hotel. It is a 15 min drive to the ferry to La Digue, 15 min drive to Anse Lazio or Valle de May. The food is very good and the hotel's restaurant at the beach is just amazing! Great burgers! At dinner you have to pay for drinks, including water, like in other half board hotels across the world. You get 2 bottles of water in your bedroom every day and you also have water, tea, cofee, juice and cakes for free at the afternoon tea, a really nice touch. The Sunset Cruise offered by the hotel is a must: snorkelling and beautiful views of anse Lazio and anse Georgete. Fabulous atmosphere all over the hotel as all comon areas are open, you can always hear the birds and the ocean. Really relaxing! The bedroom is very nice, huge and comfortable bed, great balcony with sea views, good bathroom. It is not new but its beautiful, everything works perfectly and is very comfortable. The one thing I didnt love is the geckos inside the bedroom, even though they are very small and I admit they dont really bother that much.

Magical! We adored our time at paradise Sun! From the friendly and helpful staff, the clean and spacious room to the amazing entertainment that is John and Josh (you HAVE to do the free sunset cruise and Creole dancing) and the food is just incredible. Honestly couldn’t rate it more highly :)

Firstly, THANK YOU Nigel Newmarch, general manager, for making our stay so special and attending to our aircon and room change. Great customer service, friendly, attentive, thoughtful. Superb service from you and all of your staff. It was wonderful meeting you and I so hope we see you next time we visit! This hotel is a hidden gem. This was our first trip to the Seychelles and we absolutely loved this hotel! It’s private and right at the end of a looooong beach. The most spectacular views. The dining area is on sea sand, looking out over the turquoise sea. Cocktails are great! Delicious evening food, a different theme each night. We had the most special last evening, with a beautifully set table and a great bottle of False Bay South African wine. We were so spoilt! Safe and easy to walk along the beach to buy curios and local food. The hotel also helps with arranging day trips and sight seeing, for extra, and rental cars. Ocean was beautiful, we snorkled from the beach and saw a huge turtle, twice. Some great fish too. There are a few sting rays that you need to look out for, we are in their home after all. They move off when they hear/ feel you getting near. But good to be aware. The spa is lovely and relaxing. I had a pedicure and it was great. Food is delicious, great selection at breakfast and dinner. The swimming pool near the restaurant looks small but is perfect and needn’t be any bigger. Great bird life, sunbirds, sea birds, etc. Great big lawns, complimentary evening boat cruise and snorkel (which was superb!). Breathtakingly beautiful! Photos just don’t do it justice. A nature-lover’s paradise. A must visit! They’re renovating at the moment and when they’re done, we’ll be back for sure!!! Thank you for the most memorable holiday.

Spent 3 amazing days here just unwinded . Fantastic staff beautiful room and touchs with a welcome back package . Great buffets for breakfast and dinner and delicious a la carte for lunch what a place highly recommend. This place will be back again soon

Although rainy season, we still managed to enjoy. It is average hotel, from comfort to food quality. Nothing to really complain about but still cannot say it is exceptional. More or less like anything else in Seychelles. We go back to Maldives next year, easier to reach and higher value for money

Still the best hotel on Praslin island. Have been there 3 times and will definitely come again. This time hotel made us feel very special. Authentic Kreol feeling I got every time I come here. However hotel needs some refreshing in all details:)

A great option for a perfect ending of our holiday in Seychelles. Very nice hotel with great food and excelent customer service. The beach location is amazing and the hotel offeres everything you might need. Special thanks to John from the entertainment team, our son enjoyed a lot all the activities with him!

Amazing, service is impeccable. Issues are looked after immediately. Great food, great everything. Would be the first place I would stay at in the Seychelles. Felt comfortable, felt safe. Front desk explained everything in detail, so great.
