    The path towards the village (restaurants) is not ideal for walking/baby strollers and a bit dangerous (in particular at night) as there is no pavement.

    Very friendly and helpful staff, peaceful and private estate and almost empty beach at the time of our stay. The private pool was a great addition.

    Could do with a deeper clean but honestly nit picking here. The village is quiet and there aren’t that many places to go. Hire car is a must.

    Location - stone’s throw from the beach. Beach is long and excellent to walk, but not clear waters like some of the other beaches. Property itself was excellent, plunge pool and loungers outside to relax on. Inside central lounge area with bedrooms at each end.

    Hazel is a wonderful, positive, attentive and friendly hostess at this hotel. The same applies to the hotel staff. The hotel is located on the first line of the beach and has a private territory that is completely surrounded by tropical greenery. The hotel grounds and plantings are very well maintained. All villas have their own mini pool with Jacuzzi. It takes 1 minute to walk to the sea from each villa, so there is no need to be on the beach in the open sun. In addition, each villa has its own sun loungers. You can swim on the beach at high tide and low tide. At low tide, it is only necessary to go a little further. The water is clear turquoise in color, sometimes algae are found, but not critically, which are found on many beaches of the Seychelles. There are no big waves here, because the beach is located in a picturesque bay, and there are several green and rocky small islands around. You can take a kayak at the hotel for free and swim to them. The villa is very comfortable. All necessary utensils and equipment are available. And the huge bedroom with a king-size bed, a ceiling fan and a super quiet powerful air conditioner is simply amazing! The villa is made in the local style of wood and with a stylish roof, but everything is maintained in excellent condition. In addition, there is a communal gas barbecue where you can roast fish bought at a nearby market or caught. Supermarkets (3 nearby) and cafes with good quality street food (3-4 nearby) need to be reached on foot to the village center in about 10 minutes. At low tide, you can safely walk there along the beach (the sand is dense and legs don't fall throug), at high tide - on the road, but be careful, sidewalks are not everywhere. At the same time, the hotel is located on the outskirts of the village, so it is quiet at night, the noisy street life of the village is quite far away. Our stay at this hotel exceeded all our expectations and we did not want to leave.

    Heliconia Grove - is a very nice place to stay on Praslin island! It is self-catering private villas with outdoor pool and direct access to the Cote D'or beach (just in the middle of this nice beach). Location is great - is is just 5-7 min by foot from village shops and at the same time it is very quiet place where you can feel like alone one-to-one to the nature. We like this kind of hotel - where you are completely free to do everything by yourself (not fixed with breakfast/dinner, some defined schedule and other rules as in 5-star hotels ;-) There is a barbeque place where you can cook fresh fish from the market best way as you wish. Villas has everything needed for life, quite comfortable and with style.. Hazel - hostess of these villas is really nice person, very kind and provides all the best for their guests!

    I didn't find anything to dislike.

    Although you don't see the beach from the rooms, its access is very convenient. Its a nice, quiet, clean beach with no seaweed growing close. The rooms are nice, i really like the planning. The floors are wooden, it is comfy to walk barefoot. By the patio there is a pool. Its a quiet location, with just 5-10 min walk to the bus station, food stores, restaurants etc. The property provides grill facilities and kayaks for free.

    The location was perfect. A few strolls from the amazing beach Cote D’Or. white sands and gentle waves and at this time of year, not much sea weed. The apartment was huge. 2 large bedrooms and shower and toilet facilities. Hazel, the host was amazing. Very attentive to our needs. Highly recommended and hopefully will visit again.

    you have to walk a few meters in the dark along the highway to get to the restaurants, but since the speed limit is 40 km/h and we had a headlight, it was not a problem for us (and you can also walk along the beach instead)

    spacious, beautiful stand-alone bungalows; each one equipped with a little pool; good A/C; very nice, smiling and helpful host (helped us get a rental car, made phone calls for us) and staff; quiet; just a few meters from the beach; free kayak rentals; we loved every minute of our stay and would definitely come back!

    Thanks to hotel manager, Hazel, we were threaten and spoiled like a kings. She gave us all the information, answers about the island. We were close to the shops, restaurants, locals who were selling fresh fruits and fish. The beach was perfect for swim. We felt safe and satisfied.
