“A beautiful friendly hotel in a spectacular setting - highly recommend.”

Beautiful setting, great accommodation, very clean and comfortable rooms, meals excellent and staff extremely friendly and attentive.

“Attractive beachfront hotel with lush grounds on a beautiful bay; good value for money.”

Beautiful beachfront grounds. We had the most perfectly located beachfront room, with beautiful sea views. It consisted of a spacious semidetached bungalow, but it felt very private and we never noticed the neighboring room. The small and bay and beach are beautiful, we were not so lucky with the weather and sea conditions, but it must be gorgeous with calm weather conditions. Breakfast was excellent, served beachfront, buffet style, and there is a great egg station. We did not have any meal plan, so we had to use the ground floor restaurant, where the menu was simple but the food was good. One evening there was a creole buffet for all guests and we loved it. There is a diving school right on the premises, and the hotel has a few other boats on site for excursions too. Staff was always very friendly and helpful, they went out of their way to organize everything we asked for, including late check out. You can walk to the next village in roughly half an hour. For Praslin, we found it to be good value for money.

L'Archipel could be described also like a small boutique hotel, as a excellent one for a 4-stars category. And a hotel's beach covered by a fine white sand almost dream one if there was less seaweed. But luckilly there is very nice and clean infinity pool with the view of the laguna. Special compliments deserve also hotel restaurant which is very good. During our stay we ate only a'la carte and the meals especially

Everything. This hotel is in the perfect location and offers everything you would need. From a beautiful pool and sun deck. To a private entrance to the sea, together with magnificent food and very friendly and accommodating staff.

“Disappointing Stay at Archipel Hotel - Not a Luxury Experience”

My partner and I recently stayed at the Archipel Hotel for our honeymoon and were extremely disappointed with the overall value for money. Despite paying over €600 per night, the experience did not live up to the hotel's claims of being a luxury resort. The most significant issue was the beachfront. The sea directly in front of the hotel was full of seaweed and murky, which was a huge letdown. We also booked an excursion through the hotel to Curieuse Island, which was a complete waste of €200. The tour was disorganized, with no guided tour of the island or its famous giant turtles. The promised BBQ was a generic meal served in a shed with about 40 other people under questionable hygiene conditions, and the beach was unappealing. The snorkeling stop at St. Pierre was equally disappointing, with all the coral dead. A particularly frustrating incident involved our romantic dinner. We were asked to arrive at 7:00 PM sharp, so we rushed back from the beach, missing the sunset. When we arrived, we were told they had forgotten to set it up. The romantic dinner was instead a standard meal with all the other guests. The manager blamed the waitress and refused to take any responsibility or offer any kind of discount. The service was also a major letdown. The reception staff were unresponsive, and nobody seemed willing to take responsibility or provide a clear answer because the manager was never available. Finally, the hotel itself felt half-renovated, with parts of the property having a tin roof, which is not what you expect from a luxury hotel. While our stay was acceptable, it was not the luxurious experience we expected for the price. We cannot recommend this hotel, especially to couples looking for a special, high-end experience.

“Amazing stay in Praslin”

Wonderful hotel. Very well located, includes a private beach with turquoise water and white sand. Just 5 minutes from the port and with amazing views to the ocean. Kayak equipment included and amazing breakfast.

“Incredible idyllic location”

One of the best hotels I've stayed in, everything about it was perfect but the location right on the beach and the views were probably the most impressive. Every day we saw a spectacular sunset from our room. The French restaurant was incredible and the staff were all highly professional and extremely friendly. 10/10

“Good pick if you look for quietness”

Nice hotel, not too big, awesome integrated into the nature, with authentic food. Cool pool with view to the sea.

“Perfectly located to enjoy beautiful Or.”

“A hidden gem of a resort. Close to beautiful beaches and the local town.”

Lovely and quiet, with a great beach.

“Great stay in Praslin”

We loved the hotel and the decoration/vibe of the hotel. It was in a good location as well. It was hard for us to use all the facilities of the hotel as it rained the entire time. We loved the view regardless. The creole buffet was fantastic, as was the a la carte. We also liked that they had water sports available, even if we did not get to try that out. The breakfast was excellent as well.

“Wonderful hotel with brilliant views”

Hotel L'Archipel is a wonderful hotel with brilliant views over the bay to Anse Volbert and St Piere islet. The location is picture perfect - with views of the aquamarine sea and green hills in the distance. The room was very spacious and had a nice balcony at the front. One restaurant is right down on the beach and is a lovely place to have breakfast and look out over the beach. The beach is lovely with the classic Seychelles rock formations at the side. We asked for a late checkout and they arranged this for us at no extra charge. The staff were very friendly and the guy looking after our room (from Nepal) was brilliant.

“Great hotel, you won't be disappointed!”

We travelled as a couple and loved our stay at Hotel L'Archipel. The hotel is clean, modern, comfortable and the staff were very friendly. The pool is great and we could always get a sun lounger. The beach is also practically private and there are free watersports (kayaking and paddle boarding) available from the hotel. There are some good snorkeling spots too - we saw a turtle, couple of baby sharks and a stingray! Best experience of seeing these animals and free! Food was great too, plenty of choice and everything was fresh

“Not a good value for very big money.”

Personal was good

Great location, helpful staff, peaceful beach

“A real gem, in a quiet location.”

Rooms were really great; huge bathroom. Great view. Wonderful beach (more for snorkelling than swimming). Breakfast. Bar was always open. Very helpful staff. Car rental could be arranged in place.

The view,, wow. The cocktails were unbelievable.

Wonderful hotel if you want to relax and enjoy the beauty of Seychelles stunning nature. Exceptional views from almost everywhere in the hotel. The staff is really really nice and clearly wants to make your stay exceptional, which it absolutely was for us!

“It was great!”

Everything was exceptional from check-in till check-out! All staff members are real professionals (at the reception, at the restaurant, room service, ...), you feel their care every moment. We loved the hotel territory - there are a lot of trees and plants, very nice landscape, great ocean view almost from everywhere. You can have a boat trip to La Digue island right from the hotel beach, there is no need to go to the ferry.
