L'Archipel Hotel

Our room was spacious and comfortable. The view from breakfast can't be beat (plus the food options were tasty)! A great location for proximity to the jetty and to fond ferdinand, but further from the most famous beaches on Praslin. It's easy to rent a car for a day from the hotel - a really nice addition!

The dinner options were overall nothing to write home about - we enjoyed the buffet night albeit quite expensive. The taxi pick-up from the jetty was also pricey considering how close the hotel is.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful resort with a breathtaking view from the top villa. The staff were incredibly helpful, and we would especially like to mention Edward — always smiling, positive, and happy to assist with anything.We attended the New Year Gala Dinner, which was included in our half-board package. This was a wonderful surprise, as many resorts charge extra for Christmas and New Year events. The à la carte menu was absolutely delicious.Our room was spotless and very well maintained. The resort has an excellent on-site diving center, which made it easy and convenient to enjoy diving.The resort is beautifully designed, and everything about our stay exceeded expectations. Highly recommended!

One small area for improvement would be the amount of seaweed on the beach, which could be cleaned more frequently. In addition, the regular buffet dinner on non-gala days could be improved

It is a perfect place for relax - very calm and quiet. It is close to the bus stop (lass than 10 min walk) and with the bus you can go to many different places and explore the island. The stuff was super friendly and helpful. All was perfect!

One of the best hotels I've stayed in, everything about it was perfect but the location right on the beach and the views were probably the most impressive. Every day we saw a spectacular sunset from our room. The French restaurant was incredible and the staff were all highly professional and extremely friendly. 10/10

Nothing to criticise but there is nothing around the area so if you want to go to a shop or local restaurant you need to consider renting a car

Nice hotel, not too big, awesome integrated into the nature, with authentic food. Cool pool with view to the sea.

We loved the hotel and the decoration/vibe of the hotel. It was in a good location as well. It was hard for us to use all the facilities of the hotel as it rained the entire time. We loved the view regardless. The creole buffet was fantastic, as was the a la carte. We also liked that they had water sports available, even if we did not get to try that out. The breakfast was excellent as well.

We did not like at all that there was NO IRON in the room. If you wanted to iron your clothes it was a paid service that they offered. Which is just ridiculous. I also did not like that there was no non slip mat at the shower. I am 30 years old, so it is not an age thing, but I almost died twice slipping In that shower. so please be careful. We also were quite disappointed that the hotel did not acknowledge or try to do anything special for our honeymoon. I had noted in several booking note locations that it was our honeymoon. They were the only hotel we stayed at that did not acknowledge that. We also wished that they had more nights with a a la carte menu.

Hotel L'Archipel is a wonderful hotel with brilliant views over the bay to Anse Volbert and St Piere islet. The location is picture perfect - with views of the aquamarine sea and green hills in the distance.The room was very spacious and had a nice balcony at the front.One restaurant is right down on the beach and is a lovely place to have breakfast and look out over the beach. The beach is lovely with the classic Seychelles rock formations at the side.We asked for a late checkout and they arranged this for us at no extra charge.The staff were very friendly and the guy looking after our room (from Nepal) was brilliant.

We stayed half board and would comment that the evening meal is a buffet sometimes. The buffet is good, but we found the set meal was excellent. Also drinks and water are extra, so you will run up a bar bill during your stay.

We travelled as a couple and loved our stay at Hotel L'Archipel. The hotel is clean, modern, comfortable and the staff were very friendly. The pool is great and we could always get a sun lounger. The beach is also practically private and there are free watersports (kayaking and paddle boarding) available from the hotel. There are some good snorkeling spots too - we saw a turtle, couple of baby sharks and a stingray! Best experience of seeing these animals and free! Food was great too, plenty of choice and everything was fresh

There isn't much in walking distance of the hotel and you're reliant on taxis. We also would've liked to see reusable water bottles in the room - seems silly in this day and age to still be supplying multiple plastic bottles.Also couldn't turn the air con display off overnight, meaning the room was lit up and disrupted sleep

Great location, helpful staff, peaceful beach

Food was very sub-par particularly compared to similar hotels on praslin and mahe. The buffet food at breakfast and dinner was pretty bad. A la carte food was acceptable at best.Room decor is drab, no style, bad lighting

Rooms were really great; huge bathroom.Great view.Wonderful beach (more for snorkelling than swimming).Breakfast.Bar was always open.Very helpful staff.Car rental could be arranged in place.

Great location on a good beach and close to town, and the ferry docks. Clean, spacious rooms with great views.

Food was fairly substandard and particularly at the price point. (e.g.cold pizza with sparse toppings, on a bread dough rather than pizza dough base). Coffee and tea provided free in the rooms except for the 4 provided pods of Nespresso, charged at about $4 each. At the overall price of a nights stay, I would think that removing this pricing irritant wouldn't break the bank! Pro tip: the Duc de Praslin further up the beach has infinitely better F&B offerings at way better value. Very weak/intermittent wi-fi

Wonderful hotel if you want to relax and enjoy the beauty of Seychelles stunning nature. Exceptional views from almost everywhere in the hotel. The staff is really really nice and clearly wants to make your stay exceptional, which it absolutely was for us!

We are not a fan of buffet food in general so we would have preferred the restaurant to serve a la carte every night, but they have theme nights every other night and then only serve buffet. However the food at the buffet was good just not our preferred type of enjoying a meal.

Relaxed atmosphere with great staff. Beautifully clean beach and good food. Spacious room with fantastic views of the sea.

Nothing needs improving.

Very nice and chic resort. Awesome beach area with free sunbeds and watersports. Good food.

Food is pricey and staff is sometimes slow and complicated.

Wonderful location, the view from the room is breathtaking. The hotel has a private beach in the bay with very calm and clear waters (no big waves compared to other beaches on the island). The staff is very nice, always looking to help with anything, cleaning staff does its job very well, and the food is great! You will not want to leave!

Honestly, nothing comes to mind.

- Next to Côte D’Or where you have some restaurants and supermarkets. - the beach if the hotel is beautiful. - the house keeping staff is extremely pleasant. - the room is beautiful and spacious.

- The internet doesn’t work well, also after they give you a user to another system, it is still not decent. - they knew we were honeymooners, but they did not offer anything to celebrate it. didn’t even mention it. at least some decorations would be nice. - they charge for EVERYTHING, and a lot. you want to pay in euros rather than in Seychelles rupees- pay extra, you want to order room service - pay extra for the delivery, etc.

Staff were very friendly. Buffet and breakfast selection were excellent.Rooms were clean. View was awesome.Great facilities for kayaking, snorkelling. Good trips.Fabulous massage.

Didn’t enjoy the a la carte so much.Wi-Fi wasn’t strong and kept dropping in and out.

Location, peacefulno loud music staff excellent Food excellent Rooms cleaned daily unlimited clean towels

No provision of free drinking water to fillyour own bottles during the day. only one bottle provided daily and unable to fill water bottles at breakfast .

The Hotel is in very good condition and the staff takes care of it a lot.Everyone is so friendly and very helpful. As my wife is pregnant, they checked everything about the food. and made us feel completly happy. Thanks a lot. You all did a great Job during this week. Was a pleasure beiing your guests.
