Guest Reviews

• Max (9/5): - Posizione , struttura e ristorante. Buffet fantastico Penso nulla
• Jany (10/5): - L emplacement.la gentillesse du personnel.le patron de l établissement était absolument adorable.une très belle surprise pour l anniversaire de ma petite fille au restaurant.je recommande cet établissement.et le buffet vraiment incroyable.a faire absolument Tout était parfait
• Mr__R (10/5): - Raramente do un 10 a una struttura ma qui tutto era superbo. Non c'è lo stesso tipo di lusso che si trova nei resort a 5 stelle delle Seychelles ma se il "lusso 5 stelle" non è per voi una necessità qui avrete una atmosfera accogliente e quasi magica. Il resort è strutturato in varie suite fronte mare (non ricordo se ce ne erano anche non fronte mare). Tutto è veramente gradevole e contribuisce a una sensazione di benessere e serenità. Letto comodissimo. Bagno spazioso con anche bidet. La spiaggia è bianchissima, con vari granchietti al tramonto e al mattino. L'hotel inoltre è in ottima posizione per visitare le isole vicine e fare escursioni (snorkeling fantastico). Per gli interessati c'è anche una piscina ma con un mare così, che ci vai a fare in piscina? Colazione eccellente e molto varia (si va da una ampia zona con frutta tropicale fresca, ai prodotti da forno e variealla colazione all'inglese) Consiglio assolutamente la mezza pensione per la qualità (e la varietà) del ristorante la sera. La qualità del cibo era migliore della maggior parte dei ristoranti provati alle Seychelles e assolutamente paragonabile a quella di resort più blasonati. Buoni i cocktail del bar. Quando siamo stati noi non era pieno. Non so se con il resort pieno qualche sensazione sarebbe diversa ma sinceramente credo che rresterebbe un posto magico.
• Amanda (4/5): Great location, mediocre accommodations - The location on the beach is gorgeous but the property itself is outdated and a bit overpriced. The staff were friendly and good decent The bungalows feel old and need some work
• Liliya (10/5): - Praslin Côte d’Or Lodge was honestly such a vibe! The location is perfect. Côte d’Or beach is literally right there — soft sand, calm water, and that unreal Seychelles color you never get tired of. You don’t need much here… just a towel, a slow morning, and maybe a cold drink in hand. The room itself was clean, spacious, and had everything needed. Nothing excessive, but comfortable in a way that makes you relax instantly. The kind of place where you don’t overthink anything. What I loved most is the atmosphere — quiet, peaceful, no chaos. You can actually hear nature, feel the breeze, and just switch off from everything. If you’re looking for luxury-luxury, this might not be your place. But if you want something authentic, cozy, and perfectly located — this is it. I’d definitely come back.
• Simone (7/5): Es hat alles, was man für einen guten Start in den Urlaub braucht 😀 - Leckeres und reichhaltiges Frühstücksbuffet Lage direkt am Strand mit hoteleigenen Liegestühlen Freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal
• Oleg (8/5): - Тихое место в отдалении цивилизации. Отличные ужины - заказ по меню Мелкое море во время отлива.
• Radoslav Bohus (10/5): -
• Alain (9/5): - Cadre idyllique hotel avec sa. plage Chambre pied ds l’eau Personnel charmant Charme mobilier un peu désuet
• Tania (7/5): - Emplacement, vue, nourriture délicieuse, cadre Pour le prix je trouve qu’on aurait droit au wifi gratuit partout dans l’hôtel et dans les chambres. De plus, le wifi ne fonctionnait pas très bien par moment
• Haag (9/5): -
• Joachim (8/5): La playa es lo mejor - La playa una pasada, el bufé de cena muy amplio y muy bueno. Un lugar para relajarse. Las camas muy duras y falta un poco la renovación de habitaciones, especialmente los baños. Escasas enchufes y para tener Wifi en todo el complejo hay que pagar 3€/día y aparato! Esto me parece fuera de lugar.
• Petras (9/5): -
• Felix (10/5): -
• Marion (9/5): Liebe Bungalow Siedlung mit großartigen Essen - Hatten Halbpension gebucht, Frühstück & Abendessen ist einfach grossartig, der Inhaber ist Italiener und es hab zum Abendessen a la Carte mit besten Speisen aus Italien, kleines aber feines Zimmer, weitläufiger Strand Badezimmer war etwas renovierungsbedürftig aber trotzdem in Ordnung
• Abdelaziz (10/5): Tout était exceptionnelle merci à Maurizio et - Bienveillance du personnel et beauté du lieu C’est vraiment le plus beau lieu de Praslin J’ai tout aimé
• Nataliya (10/5): -
• Ilya (7/5): May be good place for those who needs silence and lasy holiday. - Breakfasts were very good. Kayak, table games and swimming pool were perfect. Overpriced. Doesn’t meet expectations for this price. The simple needs as the Internet and water were have to be paid additionally to the high the price of the room. The beach was full of water flora, so we had to rent a car to experience other places to swim.
• Karolina (10/5): Było fantastycznie! - Obiekt pięknie położony. Przyjechaliśmy tutaj z polecenia i nie zawiedliśmy się. Poranna kawa z widokiem na wodę z tarasu robi robotę! Internet tylko w głównym budynku co jest też plusem. Sprzyja wypoczynkowi ;)
• アユミ (9/5): とても心に残る滞在でした！ - ロケーションがとてもよかった！ 目の前が綺麗な海でそこにいるだけで満たされました。あまり人がいないのもよかった。 スタッフさんが親切です。 急な申し出にも関わらず、嫌な顔することなくむしろ快く離島へのツアーの手配をしてくださいました。おかげですごく楽しめました。 ちょっと古さを感じます。
• Pierre (9/5): -
• Nikolete G (10/5): -
• Nikolete G (10/5): Μακάρι να μέναμε κι άλλο - Το πιο ονειρικό τοπίο που έχω δει Η φύση εκεί είναι ένα θαύμα Το ξενοδοχείο είναι σε απόλυτη αρμονία με το περιβάλλον Ηρεμία Ησυχία, μόνο ήχοι θάλασσας και πουλιών Τα bungalows έχουν ότι μπορεί κανείς να χρειαστεί χωρίς υπερβολές Το στρώμα του κρεβατιού άψογο Κάναμε τον τέλειο ύπνο Μπορεί κάποιοι να πουν ότι λείπει η πολυτέλεια αλλά η πραγματική πολυτέλεια είναι η φύση Ολα ήταν υπέροχα Σχεδόν καλύτερα και από το 5αστερο πολυτελές resort που μέναμε στο Mahe
• Petras (9/5): -
• Marie line 01 (7/5): -
• Anette (10/5): -
• gerhard franz (9/5): -
• Bartosz (10/5): - Bardzo pomocni pracownicy, świetna organizacja i bardzo czysto. Domki położne kilka kroków od jednej z najładniejszych i najdłuższej plazy na Seszelach!
• Stian (9/5): -
• Michael (9/5): -
• Rémi (10/5): Un super séjour, des souvenirs pleins la tête, merci - L’emplacement est idéal sur une plage splendide
• ANCA (10/5): -
• norbert (8/5): - Emplacement Prix du buffet
• Viktor (10/5): - Alles tip top. Super Frühstück! Der Strand ist einfach ein Traum. Es gibt ein paar Rochen die man aber ohne Probleme sieht. Einfach langsam ins Wasser gehen. Alles war super
• Ghislain (10/5): Amazing beach location and hotel! - The location is amazing, great for Long Beach walks and swimming. All was amazing.
• Nicolas (10/5): Côte d'Or Lodge – A Slice of Italy on the Shores of Praslin - We spent three nights at Côte d'Or Lodge in Baie Sainte Anne, and it felt delightfully like an Italian holiday—relocated to the Seychelles. From the warm atmosphere to the ever-available pizza for the kids, the experience had a charming Mediterranean flair. The management takes a hands-on, heart-first approach—you’re greeted not with formality but with familiarity. It’s the kind of place where you quickly feel more like a house guest than a hotel client. One particularly lovely touch? Afternoon tea with cake, served like clockwork. It’s a small gesture, but one that captures the lodge’s essence: simple pleasures, done with care. This isn’t a five-star luxury resort—and thankfully, it doesn’t pretend to be. It’s a place for easy days, sandy feet, and feeling at home by the sea.
• Natalia (9/5): Amazing paradise - Great place, right on the beach, very beautiful territory. Super tasty dinners - amazing dinners!!!! Don’t even know, all great
• Sheradin (7/5): Quiet space with two tortoises! - The beach is beautiful but beware of sand bugs. They bite. Breakfast could have been better.
• Viktor (3/5): Poor - Seaview Sandflyes
• Declan (8/5): Beautiful location on a lovely island, staffed by wonderful people. - The location is awesome. Lovely beach with warm water and white sand. Beautiful. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. Breakfasts were pretty good. Dinners were very good. Expect lots of good seafood. I thoroughly enjoyed my stat. I only wish the weather was better while I was there. I can’t think of anything I didn’t like.
• Martyna (10/5): AMAZING! - I had an amazing stay at this beachfront hotel! The views were absolutely stunning, and I couldn’t get enough of the breathtaking scenery. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The atmosphere was warm and family-like, which made the experience even more special. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway!
• Jeevan (9/5): Beautiful beach view - The sea view rooms was great. The beach is a dream come true. There must be very few beaches better than the ones in Praslin seychelles. The one here is a real beauty. The food was average
• Ajinkya (10/5): Simply excellent, did not expect such a pleasant and comfortable stay - It’s location along the beach Nil
• Alexey (10/5): 10 of 10 - Amazing cuisine. Dinners are masterpieces. Very helpful staff. Italian aesthetic everywhere
• Ben (9/5): Very pleasant stay - The hotel is on one of the main beaches on Praslin and it is possible to walk to the main town on the island along the beach if you fancy some different restaurants. The staff were attentive and polite. The bathroom in the cabins doesn't have solid doors so make sure that you are familiar with your fellow guest as sound travels. A swimming pool would be good.
• Tihomir (9/5): Perfect location and good hotel which I'll recommend to visit in Praslin. - The breakfast was not very rich, but was sufficient, fresh and tasty. There was a lack of fresh vegetables at dinner, but there was a variety of fresh fish and seafood delicacies. Very responsive and smiling staff. Many thanks to the staff for the help to organize a delicious surprise for my husband's birthday. The free WiFi was not good and was accessible only in the restaurant. You have to pay a daily tax for WiFi for full access. The dinner was very short - only from 19:30 till 21:00.
• Alma (9/5): very nice holiday - wonderful place, nice staff, very good dinner. the managers, Marika and Matia are very helpful and attentive. They will help you with excursions, taxis, everything you need. the beds are too hard . the hardest I've ever slept in . there is no entertainment in the evening.
• Nerina (5/5): Passable - The beach 👏 No WiFi. No coffee and tea in the room. Breakfast was included but was very mediocre.
• Rana (7/5): Good -
• Michela (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderfully located along the beach with almost all rooms overlooking the sea, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Cote d'Or Lodge. Nice food is served, rooms are very spacious and comfortable, staff absolutely friendly and helpful ready to assist with any issue. Not only we strongly recommend it but we feel it is one of the best reasonably priced options of the whole area.
• Ailsa (9/5): Superb -
• Lucian (10/5): Great value for money - All perfect All was ok
• Tony (8/5): Very good - Almost everything Nothing worth mentioning
• Bernard (5/5): Nice location, the rest is disappointing. - Dirty. Staff communicating on speaker phone (noisy). No remarks to other people playing loud videos on phone/tablet. Staff rather unfriendly and uninterested.
• Eva (10/5): Great vacation - Location, staff, facilities -
• Anonymous (7/5): amazing beach beautiful room and very wellcoming staff - very beautiful beach no hot water no extra towels and limited breakfast
• Manuel (9/5): Very relaxing - Location, Food and it was clean
• Anup (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anup (10/5): Exceptional -
• Janne (10/5): Exceptional - Suberb place in a beautiful location. Really peaceful atmosphere. Really helpful staff and the late checkout we were offered really made the experience perfect. We got to spend the last day also relaxing before leaving.
• Kuhlmann (10/5): Just great place to relax and enjoy - I really liked everything. Very good food, clean rooms and wonderful beach. Very quit and super friendly stuff. The sand flies are the hell. i recommended to bring some creme with and some after bite creme too.
• Guillaume (7/5): Good -
• Ronel (8/5): Very good -
• Silvia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Zuzana (8/5): Very good -
• Laurent (8/5): - Sejour convenable plage superbe Pas de wifi dans les chambres
• Yvonne (10/5): Amazing place. Very friendly,helpful staff. Brilliant setting - Very good plenty of choice Bed a wee bit hard
• Burger (4/5): Disappointing - Position o. The beach NO pool No WiFi in bedroom No coffee tea kettle in bedroom Cheap DSTV package. No CNN NO rugby channel 2 run down kayaks for 38 rooms Sand flees Sharp coral on beach
• Frank (10/5): Amazing place, amazing seaview, spacious overall....lovely!!! - The beachfront villa's are amazing. Quiet and spacious situated in the garden, spacious inside and 20m distance from the stunning Indian Ocean. All ameneties nearby. The beach is stretched along the Cote dÓr Lodge area with lots of beautiful palmtrees. The undeep water in front is so beautiful, you will need sunglasses to protect your eyes for the white sand and stunning blue sea. I will never forget this panoramic view out of my sunbed or sitting in the diningarea. Want to B active? Take for free one of the seakayaks and go out playing in the waves. The complete staff is like the blue water....soft and friendly like family, refreshing while being very helpfull, clear in every appointment. Thanks Petra, Sandil, Kiko and Marika and the rest of your staff. You are a great team, acting like a family in running every days business. Ask me to come back here? I will pack my suitcase immediately ;) Nothing to complain about!!!
• Simon (9/5): Superb - Very nicely located resort. The beach is right in front of it and is not very crowded, almost a private beach
• dinu cristian (8/5): Nice beach - Very nice beach
• Raza (8/5): Serene beach, decent property, paid WiFi! - It’s a very cozy property located on one of the best beaches of Praslin. They even have house tortoise in the garden that you can pet. The quality of food and service are decent. My only concern is that the WiFi is not free, you need to pay extra to access it. I would have understood if it was a budget hotel, but I find it weird to not have free WiFi at a property where you’re paying almost €200/night.
• Yves (8/5): Un bel endroit. - Endroit sauvage et préservé, accueil sympathique et bon rapport qualité prix. Les lodges sont spacieux et propres, directement sur la très belle plage. Seule petite réserve sur la restauration, pas très raffinée sauf si on prend les crudités. Ambiance italienne, très conviviale. Un bel endroit.
• Greg (6/5): Somewhere between luxury & camping. perfect beach! - Location is spectacular. Food options and quality are low. Service was good. Rustic getaway. Expensive for the lack of amenities, but again the setting is magic. Wasn’t disappointed, but a bit overvalued in my opinion.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Worst hotel i stayed in my life, Ben matress had fleas in it, Worst foor and most expensive ever Super expensive, Dont go there, there are far better alternatives Veautifull beach though
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Siamo tornati dopo 23 anni portando con noi i nostri figli. La struttura nonostante l’età è ancora ottima, per la posizione,che è la migliore di tutta l isola,per lo staff sempre attento e cordiale e perché è rimasta una struttura semplice e accogliente,In perfetta linea con lo spirito delle Seychelles.Un grazie allo staff che ha contribuito alla nostra perfetta vacanza.
• Marek (8/5): Dobry hotel przy przepięknej plaży - Byliśmy z żoną w tym hotelu przez 5 dni. Pięknie położone miejsce przy fantastycznej plaży. Spory ten, mało ludzi (ale to ostatnie to niemal norma na Seszelach). Bungalow przy plaży spełnił nasze oczekiwania. Było czysto, cicho i spokojnie (słychać tylko szum fal :)). Personel hotelu bardzo przyjazny i pomocny w każdej sprawie. Organizują całkiem fajne kameralne jednodniowe "wycieczki" w różne miejsca, także na inne wyspy. Restauracja serwuje bardzo smaczne jedzenie na lunch. Jedyne co nam nie do końca pasowało, to śniadania (były dość monotonne) i forma podawania kolacji (wyłącznie bufet za 40 euro od osoby, nie można wybrać z karty np. samej sałatki). Powtórzę, że nasze zastrzeżenia dotyczą formy posiłków, a nie ich smaku (jedzenie jest naprawdę dobre). Każdego dnia o 17:00 goście spotykają się przy plaży na herbatę z trawy cytrynowej i ciasteczka - bardzo fajny pomysł :). Z hotelu najlepiej ruszać się samochodem, ewentualnie publicznym autobusem - na piechotę można się co najwyżej wybrać na spacer wzdłuż plaży. W sumie to piękne miejsce na wypoczynek dla tych, którzy lubią przestrzeń i spokój. Polecamy!
• Jeanne (10/5): - Best beach on this side of Praslin. Wonderful location and staff. Highly recommend it.
• Jan (8/5): - The cottage´s where nice and very big. At this point they run it Italian style and it means that every one eat at the same time. Lunch is served at 13:00 and dinner at 20:00. So you can´t eat when you want. I guess the Italians buy full pension and we who booked thru hotels did not have that deal. They have there own beach wich is big and flat. Enough sunbeds. For my taste you should take down some trees there were hard to find sun spot after lunch time. A lot of shadows beacuse the sun goes down behind the place. The food was great buffe with two chefs one making fresh pasta and one grill your fish or meat. The staff really was great every lunch and dinner they all came and wish you a happy meal. Every evening they did something only downside that they spoke only italian. But after a few days they tryed to involve us and they spoke some english. But we had fun anyway. There was a "village" 15min away where you had some restaurants and shops. We went there for lunch some days. The only bad was that they charge You for WIFI and it did not function that well specially in your cottage. They have to stop doing that.
• Verified traveler (8/5): great beach, even better staff - Staff were absolutely amazing. every day they did something extra for us. really wonderful beach area is amazing. just enjoy the beach at the hotel. also there is lots of shade, which is key because the sun is brutal hotel has no pool also rooms don't have coffee or hot water maker. this would be a nice plus hotel is a little on the expensive side
• Paola262 (10/5): Hotel sulla spiaggia fantastica - Ho trascorso solo tre giorni qui ma ci tornerei volentieri. Un posto all'insegna della tranquillità, bella spiaggia senza ombrelloni. Stanza grande, bagno grande. ottima la ristorazione.
• matteo (10/5): Vacanza indimenticabile - Il fantastico staff ha fatto la differenza! a partire da Marco ( il direttore) , Mario che ci ha fatto divertire e Mattia che ha organizzato delle escursioni che non dimenticheremo (soprattutto grand soure e la digue) ma anche tutto il resto del personale (dai cuochi ai camerieri). Abbiamo mangiato benissimo (del resto abbiamo scelto una struttura italiana anche per questo...). La spiaggia lunga 3 km permette di fare splendide passeggiate sia di giorno (ammirando gli splendidi colori e sfumature del mare e del cielo sia di notte per ammirare le stelle). Una delle più belle vacanze che abbiamo mai fatto!
• Elaine (6/5): - The room we had was connected to another room and we could hear everything from the other room. Mostly French spoken and entertainment was all in French. I thought they would have local dancers. Had a delightful hike in the forest reserve. Beach in front of hotel had a lot of sea grass.
• Palermo (4/5): - Hotel con ottima posizione sulla spiaggia. Sala ristorante (colazione,pranzo e cena) vecchia e soorchissima formata da 9 tavoloni in legno mai puliti durantevi 7 gg di nostra permanenza, eternamente pieni di formiche ed altri insettini. Allestimento del buffet scarso e sporco anch'esso. Le camere di grandezza media con bagni sporchi e pieni anche li di formiche e zanzare...per fortuna c'era l'aria condizionata ed una zanzariera su un letto a baldacchino. Peccato davvero per condizioni di tenuta del hotel perché la location è veramente bella e non valorizzarla come fanno altri hotel vicino (ad esempio il Paradise Sun facendo cene davanti il mare) è uno spreco. Animazione scadente. Nel complesso è un 3 stelle mediocre in Italia ma con la possibilità di diventare un 4 stelle di nuovo quando la proprietà si deciderà ad investire quattro soldi sulla struttura, personale e pulizia visto che come prezzi é assolutamente in linea con altri alberghi limitrofi che offrono decisamente un servizio migliore. Noi su 7 notti pur avendo la mezza pensione abbiamo preferito pagare 500 rupie a testa (33 € circa) al Paradise Sun che offre una cena a buffet con decine di portate di tutti i gusti su dei tavolini adagiati davanti la spiaggia con un servizio camerieri ed una pulizia impeccabili. Se dovessi tornare a Praslin allo stesso prezzo non andrei mai più al Cot'e d'Or a meno non pagassi quanto un 3 stelle.
• Sergio Silvio (8/5): Posizione del villaggio straordinaria - Ribadisco la stupenda ubicazione del villaggio fronte mare e che mare! Ho apprezzato anche la simpatia e gentilezza degli animatori italiani. Consiglio un maggiore assortimento delle proposte culinarie in particolare a colazione. Senza dubbio una bella vacanza
• Joseph (8/5): - Betaalde wifi maar voor 1 device, hotel gericht op Italiaanse groepen, andere gasten tellen niet zo mee. Service met een smile bestaat er niet. Ontbijt tot 10 uur, we zaten er tot 10.10 en men werd hier al boos om. Wel een mooi strand met ondiepe zee, alleen 's morgens kun je goed zwemmen. Veel restaurants in de buurt (15-20 minuten lopen).
• Caterina (6/5): Wonderful location, wanting service - We spent here 4 nights. *Plus* The village is located on the beach of Anse Volbert, probably one of the best locations in Praslin. Other beaches, like Anse Lazio, may be ranked higher, but they are smaller and almost disappear during the high tide. *To be aware of* This is an Italian holiday village, hence almost all the guests are Italian who have paid a meal-inclusive formula and visit the rest of the island only through the tours proposed by the same village. Some recreational activities (karaoke and similar) are organized during the evenings but they assume participants understand Italian. The staff is made by some locals as well as Italian people, who do not necessarily speak well English. Please note we are Italian too. *Minus* We wrote a couple of emails to the travel agency managing the village before our arrival, but they never answered. Our booking was erroneously registered as the breakfast were not included. The issue appeared to be fixed when we showed hotels.com confirmation email, but kept showing out multiple times during our stay with the local staff asking us to pay for it. The efficient Martina had to intervene a couple of times. When we left, we uselessly waited for someone to come to pick our luggage. We arrived at the reception and none of the three persons there helped us with the luggage. They did not even show interest to greet us (we moved to greet them). Bungalows' decoration was quite cheap. The bed is covered by a dusty mosquito net.
• Ylva (8/5): Toppenläge vid Anse Volbert - Italienskägt hotell där man som övrig gäst inte fick ta del av samma information som de italienska gästerna. Ville man veta något fick man dra informationen ur personalen. Bra mat och bra frukost. Toppenläge vid den fina stranden Anse Volbert.
