Villaer i Praslin Island

"Let’s start with the obvious: do not book this place. Unless, of course, your idea of a vacation includes being catfished by photos taken with divine lighting and glowing reviews clearly written in an alternate reality. What we walked into was not the retreat we’d seen online. It looked nothing like the listing. The room was filthy and worn and the surroundings was a masterclass in neglect - perched right next to a main road with all the charm and privacy you would expect. We checked in, blinked twice in disbelief, and checked straight back out. Luckily, we found much better accommodation within the hour — because on an island this stunning, staying here is just a bad decision. Customer service was unsurprisingly also a surreal comedy. We asked for a refund. Instead, we were handed a random French phone number and told to try our luck with the owner of the mess. Multiple attempts, zero response. Eventually, the one staff member (barely involved) did reply — just to make it crystal clear it was not her problem. If the owner decides to reply here and deny everything: don’t fall for it. We were there. We saw the horror. You don’t need to. Avoid this place. Book literally anywhere else."

"Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. I would definitely consider Pslm Beach Hotel again if will go to Pralin again"

"Really great resort in a beautiful setting. Several delicious dining options. Rooms a bit dated but nice overall. What makes the place stand out is the brillant and friendly staff. "

"The owner is super service oriented and will fix everything for you. You will need a car, but it is a good base and the beach is good. There is no pool, but you do not need it, the beach is excellent. Very big family apartment with 3 bathrooms. "
