Latest reviews on Praslin island's beaches

Anse Gouvernement Beach
2 Ricky Sharp

We went to the restaurant and would not recommend it. The manager was impolite and unhelpful. Despite taking our reservation, he failed to reserve a table for us. Instead of apologizing and finding a solution, he seemed more focused on arguing and justifying his actions. The staff showed no interest, brought us the wrong orders, and never checked on us. While some of the food was decent, my duck was truly inedible. To sum it up, avoid eating here. You will only end up disappointed.

Ok not great

Anse Georgette Beach

Undoubtedly, the most stunning beach in Praslin is a sight to behold. However, the journey through the Golf course region was a tad lengthier than anticipated. It is crucial to carry ample provisions, particularly water, as there are no amenities or stores in the vicinity. Nevertheless, this adds to the beach's charm and uniqueness.

Anse Lazio Beach
10 Serenia

This beach is undoubtedly the most picturesque spot on the entire island. It is a popular destination for weddings, and if you're fortunate enough, you might witness one. The beach is also an ideal location for snorkeling, where you can swim alongside marine turtles and rays. In the shallow waters of the eastern part of the beach, you can always spot adorable baby sharks. Don't be alarmed, though! They are completely harmless. Take pleasure in the breathtaking scenery and the abundance of wildlife that this beach has to offer.

Anse Petite Cour Beach
6 Nirav Pahade

We stayed at this beach for 3 days. The location was great and our room was right on the beach. Unfortunately, the ocean wasn't very clean due to algae in the water and on the shore. It seemed like the staff didn't make an effort to clean up the algae. The staff was sometimes polite, but there were days when we didn't feel very welcome. The food was good and the rooms were clean and hygienic. However, there was no room service available and when we asked for it, we were told it was due to cleanliness issues (which seemed odd for a hotel). We had to call reception for small issues in the room after checking in, and they took a while to respond. The spa and pool facilities were nice, but as a 4-star hotel, we expected these small issues to be addressed. Overall, we give it a 3-star rating due to these issues affecting our experience.

Cote D'Or Beach

The beach is a lovely place to visit, although the color of the water may vary depending on the wind and weather conditions. There may also be some sea grass present on the sand, but this should not cause any problems for those who wish to swim.

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
