This self catering villa was thoughtfully equipped by the welcoming and informative hosts Farida and Jose. There was everything you could want - beach towels, umbrellas, ironing board and iron, first aid kit in the bathroom,I cannot think of anything else you could need. It was cleaned daily to a very high standard, beautifully decorated with flowers from the garden... More

We stayed in a superior room for 6 nights and thought this was a great guesthouse. The location was ideal for us, very close to the lovely Cote d'Or beach (a few metres away), but not too close to the noisier hotel area. The nearby bus stop (by La Reserve hotel) can take you to Vallée de Mai or Anse Lazio... More

We had a lovely time here, very quiet, very clean, really friendly people. The bungalow was very well equipped and the bed very comfortable. Lots of little things had been thought of to make our stay comfortable. In terms of the cost to comfort ratio, this represents very good value for money.

We spent there 5 days in their superior room (2 adults + 1 child). What can I say, everything was perfect. The bungalow is comfortable and equipped with everything you need. The location is very convenient, a few steps from Cote d'or. The owners (Farida and Jose) are wonderful people that will struggle to help you and make your stay... More

We stayed at the Aquario for a week - friends of ours were getting married at La Reserve hotel around the corner. We had one of the larger rooms, which was spacious with our own kitchen, living area, and veranda. The bathroom was also big with a double shower. I can't recommend this guest house highly enough - the hosts... More

Acquario was the first of our three accommodations during our two weeks in the Seychelles, and our favourite overall. From the moment Farida greeted us after our long journey with a warm smile and a lovely welcome drink we immediately relaxed and began to enjoy our holiday. Our apartment had everything we look for - it was extremely spacious, simply... More

We stayed there before going to La Digue and after coming back form La Digue. Both stays were more than wonderful. Appartements are spotless, very comfortable, some of them with sharing living room and kitchen, but each with its own terrace and separate big fridge. Mrs. Farida adn her husband are always around, putting extreme efforts into guests satisfaction, always... More

A friend and I spent five wonderful days at Acquario. Farida and her staff are fantastic - friendly and helpful. The accommodation is excellent - modern and well-kept. The villa is only a 2 minute walk from one of the most beautiful, unspoilt beaches on the island. Couldn't have stayed at a better place.

My wife and I recently completed a four-night, five-day stay at Aquario (also spelled Acquario) and, like virtually all of the previous reviewers, found it to be superb. The location on Praslin is great: it is a two minute walk from the northwest corner of lovely Anse Volbert beach in one direction and a three minute walk from the bus... More
