Paradise Sun Hotel Seychelles

Verry nice hotel on Praslin

If you're looking for a laid-back, warm, and welcoming hotel in Praslin, look no further. Our stay here was nothing short of fantastic, and we’re leaving with heavy hearts. From the moment we arrived, the staff set the tone—friendly, quick to smile, and genuinely helpful. Nothing felt forced, just effortless hospitality. Our room? A beachfront dream. Waking up to that view every morning was a privilege. The bed was supremely comfortable, the room was cleaned daily, and fresh towels (including beach towels) magically appeared alongside two bottles of water. The entertainment staff also did a great job of keeping things lively without being intrusive. Food-wise, the buffet was solid, and the afternoon tea was a pleasant surprise. No Michelin stars here, but certainly enough variety to keep us happy. Now, let’s talk about that beach. Secluded, calm waters, and barely any non-guests wandering through—absolute perfection. Being right next to a brilliant diving center was just the cherry on top. Safety? We felt so at ease that we barely locked our room. The locals are incredibly friendly, adding to the overall sense of comfort. For anyone grumbling about the hotel not being a five-star experience—well, that’s because it’s not a five-star hotel. It’s a solid four-star, and a charming one at that. Plus, it’s about to get a six-month refurbishment, so we’ll be eagerly checking the website to see the transformation. Sure, it’s a little outdated, but the relaxed atmosphere, unbeatable beach, and wonderful people more than make up for it. We’d recommend this place in a heartbeat. And for those who complained about mosquitoes—welcome to the tropics! That’s what insect repellent is for. Already planning our return.

The location is stunning and the Staff are excellent. Staff training in all departments is good and we were looked after as well as any 5 star Hotel we have visited. Very few Brits here ( mainly French ) but nice colonial atmosphere - afternoon tea etc... The room interiors are due a refurb this April but we had no real problems with ours. All have verandas and easy chairs. We opted for Buffet breakfast and dinner option. Yes the breakfast is samey but there is a large choice. Dinners were themed and excellent - well presented and again a large choice. A la carte lunch very good value for the price. Even the drinks were affordable with wines starting at £25. Local village within walking distance with small shops, food shacks, ATMs and money changers. In house Dive Center with two others nearby. The dive options from this side of the Island are fantastic. The bay is shallow so snorkeling to nearby Chauve Souris is easy and well worth it - just mind the sting rays - they can come right in to shore ! We were impressed and saving for another visit soon - thank you
