The Islander Hotel

Piccolo hotel in tipico stile creolo, semplice e senza tanti fronzoli. Noi alloggiavamo nell’appartamento con due camere, ognuna col proprio bagno, molto comodo visto che eravamo in 4. Abbiamo segnalato uno scarico doccia intasato e sono intervenuti prontamente per risolvere il problema. Abbiamo usufruito della mezza pensione presso il ristorante Capricorn, tutto molto buono. La colazione era composta da frutta, uova servite in vari modi e fatte al momento, pane tostato, burro e marmellata, delle mini crepes e vari dolcetti che cambiavano ogni giorno, te caffè e succo di frutta. La cena era composta da antipasto, piatto principale e dessert. Consiglio a tutti l’auto a noleggio per potersi spostare liberamente. Rapporto qualità prezzo eccellente. L’albergo si affaccia direttamente su anse Kerlan, bella ma nel nostro periodo c’erano onde abbastanza alte.

Great accommodation on Praslin Excellent self catering accommodation with plenty of space in a lovely location. The private beach is delightful and the hotel is well located to explore the rest of the beautiful island. Really helpful staff and clean, comfortable rooms. Breakfast was really good everyday, perfectly cooked eggs!

Cet hébergement allie l’atout de l’hôtel (possibilité de petit déjeuner et repas sur place, changement des serviettes, espace commun en bord de plage) et celui de la location d’un appartement. Le logement était spacieux , avec deux grandes chambres climatisées , une salle d’eau comprenant baignoire et douche, et cuisine équipée , la plage est jolie et adaptée aux enfants, on peut aussi utiliser le mobilier en bord de plage (transats, tables et chaises). La localisation de l’hôtel avec une supérette au début de l’accès et des take away à proximité est top ! Pour résumer nous recommandons cet hébergement !

Hôtel très tranquille, personnel poli et attentionné. Le restaurant est très bon et varié. Cuisine créole de bonne qualité. La mer est toute proche, comme une plage privée, et on est en pleine nature. La chambre est vaste et confortable, avec varangue entourée de belles plantes.

The bed is so comfortable it just swallows you to sleep. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The meals are tasteful and well flavoured. The ambience is calming and relaxing. There's a stretch of beautiful white sandy beach for lovely morning walk.

I booked a superior one bed room, which consists of very good sized double bedroom, kitchen with microwave, grill, oven and hot plate and everything you need for your stay (including a kitchen table if you wish to eat indoors!), bathroom with double sinks and shower and a great patio with table and chairs. There are ceiling fans and air conditioning. Everything was spotlessly clean with daily cleaning and linen and towels were changed every two days. Miette and her team were great and Miette was able to arrange taxis and excursions for me as I needed them. The bungalows are opposite the on-site restaurant (which serves Creole style food all day) and adjacent to the private beach. There are local shops and a takeaway within 5-15 minutes walk (dependent on what you want). Apart from the hotel’s own beach, you are only a short walk away from Anse Georgette, which the guidebooks mark as one of the two best beaches on the island. It’s accessed via a luxury hotel, which houses the Seychelles only 18-hole golf course and is a beautiful walk in itself. You can also get the local bus (which stops outside the hotel) around the island to visit many of the other beaches and villages, including the UNESCO world heritage site of Valle de Mai. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Islander and am happy to recommend it to fellow travellers. Anse Kerlan is a quiet area of the island and ideal for a relaxing break, but you also have the option of easily visiting other areas should you wish.
