Paradise Sun Hotel Seychelles

Verry nice hotel on Praslin

We totally loved it! The food was great, the rooms are what we wanted, old school furniture and such, no fancy city-like vibes. The ocean literally a 20 seconds walk distance. But more than everything we really appreciated the kindness and generosity of the staff. We will most likely choose Paradise Sun again, next time we come to Praslin!!!!

The main problem with this hotel is that it is overrated. Guests will arrive expecting a first class experience but it is far from that. We had a 10 night stay in the Seychelles which was fabulous overall. We spent the first 5 nights on Mahe at the Constance Ephelia. This resort was just outstanding in every way and exceeded our expectations. We booked through Audley Travel (who are also outstanding). Audley rate Paradise Sun in the same category as Constance Ephelia for some reason but unfortunately, Paradise Sun is a world apart. I would rate this hotel a good 3 star/poor 4 star. We have no major complaints as such but everything was underwhelming. Staff were ok, some poorly trained, a few were excellent. John, who is in charge of water sports equipment and activities is fantastic and made our overall experience much better. The evening food was average but of a decent standard. Breakfast had a good range but in general the food quality was poor and the breakfast room is very bland and in need of a refit. The rooms had a good layout but are old and tired. Our son's bathroom had a drain smell issue which wasn't resolved during our stay. The grass area directly outside our rooms is poorly drained and very wet and boggy after rain and there are no paths leading right up to the rooms. The pool is old, tired and has some tiles missing (I actually cut my elbow on the edge of a broken tile). The beach was quite nice but there are lots of stingrays so guests are frequently stung and have to go to the local hospital clinic. The Hotel grounds in front of the beach are poorly maintained with lots of areas of unfinished stones/rubble. The layout of the grounds in general is nice but the planting and borders in general are poorly maintained. On the upside, the dive centre is excellent and the hotel atmosphere is very relaxed. The complimentary evening cruise was brilliant. During our stay it was fully booked so they arranged a second trip the following night so all guests could go. We hired a car and visited the Constance Lemuria resort. We had the most amazing welcome and a fantastic lunch there. We spent the rest of the day on the best beach in Praslin, Anse Georgette, which is just at the far end of the Constance Lemuria's golf course. I would stay here next time.
