“Average guest house - poor condition and poor food”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011

I stayed in this hotel as part of an organised tour of the Seychelles.
The service was quite poor, particularly for breakfast. We had to wait between 20 and 30 min to get served and the first breakfast was awful: a few toasts with jam and a very oily omelette. Those who had "fruit juice" (there wasn't enough for everybody) said it tasted like squash. We complained and had fresh fruit (papaya or banana) the next day. Rooms were small and in poor condition (furniture is more than 20 years old) and bathroom was quite old (tap kept falling off). Very often there was no hot (and sometimes not cold) water. Air conditioning was ok although it was on a timer controlled by the owners.

Location was next to Grand Anse which is not a nice beach as there is a lot of seaweed so you can't swim there. And it's quite far from the points of interest to see on Praslin.
On the whole I wouldn't recommend this place.

“La Cuvette Hotel Praslin”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011

person found this review helpful

my name is Damiana and Luca.
During my stay in the Seychelles i was satying in the hotel La Cuvette Hotel. The hotel is gorgeous and the manager Crinsy De Charmoy Lablache is so kind and generous. The hotel was clean and we LOVED the cuisine. Especially the Grilled Fish. Breakfast in the morning was on time and all the staff was loving towards us. The pool was always clean and the water sparlky.. I can't wait for my other trip to Seychelles again and to see La Cuvette hotel.

Room Tip: rooms facing the pool because the view is beautiful and you get more fresh air.

“not worth the price”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2009

person found this review helpful

the hotel could be a nice one but it is quite dirty and not well mantained. avoid staying there in summer because the nice beach is full of weeds and due to low tide it is almost impossible to swim. Nevertheless, Jerry - the manager of the company who owns the hotel - is a very nice and helpful person
