Time travel to a stress free era
Nice lead back retro styled hotel, located straight on the beach. Sea view. Only 19 rooms, so very quiet. Good food. Friendly and helpful staff. Some restaurants and a supermarket nearby for convenience. Easy access to Vallee de Mai national park.

We had an excellent stay in the Palm Beach and it was just what we were looking for. You are literally seconds from a beach that we pretty much had to ourselves the whole time. The food was great - fresh tropical fruit and eggs for breakfast. They also do a great set evening meal of four courses for a reasonable price which included some excellent fish dishes. We took day trips to Anse Lazio and La Digue and the hotel arranged return transport for us to these places which was great and gave us the real VIP treatment! Staff were brilliant, Natasha and Jo-el and the brilliant waiter at dinner whose name escapes me – but he was so very wonderful (thanks). I cannot praise this place enough and would be sure to return if I am ever on Praslin again – which I hope I am one day. Brilliant job Palm Beach!!

Hotel Manager Natasha is a star
We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 days at the Palm Beach Hotel, an interesting and pleasant locally owned and operated establishment. Comfortable room overlooking the beach and pool. There's not too much nearby but very reasonable and efficient on site car hire meant that was not an issue. Best of all the manager Natasha really went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable. Decent restaurant with fruit and fresh cooked eggs for breakfast.

Old colonial style hotel
Lovely friendly atmosphere and the staff are always willing to help with directions, can offer advice about excursions, and have useful information about the Island. My suggestion would be to liven up the restaurant, and look into upgrading the quality and choice of breakfast options. Also update and increase the choice of piped music and maybe have some live music in the evenings and a bbq!

Fawlty Towers in Praslin
Palm Beach is a pleasant colonial-style building with large, comfortable rooms, a decent freshwater pool and located on a spot for beautiful sunsets. All of which is completely let down by the manager, who has seemingly caught some episodes of Fawlty Towers and mistaken it as a guide to hoteliers rather than a classic British sitcom. Around the hotel he marches, lording it over guests and staff alike, making you feel less like a paying customer than an interloper on his private estate. The hotel lacks wifi included in the room rate, happy and empowered staff, and a Cybil to keep its Basil in check.

Not only was there no welcome drink there was no welcome at all. The management staff were generally disinterested and left junior staff to do the work. The TV was limited to 2 channels and Wi-fi was charged for, but access was slow and limited to reception area and only part of the restaurant.

Very nice and quiet ... Palm Beach H - Grand Anse
This is is a very nice small hotel. In my view it was worth the money. The view was spectacular, but perhaps not unusual for Seychelles. The beach was beautiful, but not ideal. Elsewhere, I would have said "wow" but in Seychelles, I found myself disappointed by sinking pits of mud underwater in the beach. Also, while nice and quiet, the beach is so flat that I never reached a depth of of my armpits (and I think I went out nearly a half mile ... or so it felt). However, the staff is exceptional. While they may not seem over-the-top friendly, they know what they are doing and they pay attention. My GF had a very odd request at one meal, and by the next morning all the staff knew about it and it was ready for every subsequent meal, even though the menu is supposed to be fixed and not a-la-carte. If you are a "germa-phobe" you might not like it, because the tiny ants that are everywhere. They don't bite and are harmless, but (at least at the ground level) they are pervasive.

Clean Rooms, WiFi, No Cable TV
This was a very clean two star hotel. The rooms were clean and looked like they had been recently updated. All public areas were open air including the restaurant. The room had a very good AC. The TV was small and had only one channel in French. WiFi Internet was available in the room for a small fee.

On a passé 5 jours incroyables au palm beach, merci à tout le personnel et Natasha pour leur gentillesse et leur accueil. L'hôtel est magnifique de style colonial avec un très bon rapport qualité / prix, chambre spacieuse confortable et très propre (chambre familiale pour 5 personnes), coup de coeur pour la vue depuis la chambre, la piscine même si elle est pas récente, les petits dejeunés, les kayaks à disposition, les couchés de soleils incroyables, la localisation sur la plage.

Palm Beach hotell var fantastiskt. Personalen tog emot på ett personligt sätt och gav tips på utflykter och restauranger. Hotellet hade kolonialkänsla och vi trivdes utmärkt. Pool och strand utan trängsel. Svalt och skönt i lobby och restaurang pga genomdrag. Bästa hotellet på Seychellerna!

The hotel is located a bit off the main areas for tourism and it might be an issue for someone who wants to be close to everything. However: the staff was absolutely fantastic in helping us with everything from planning how to best spend our time on Praslin and how to get around on the island. That being how to get around by bus or arranging rental cars for us. They also arranged any excursion we wanted or reservations. The restaurant is ok, but also very affordable compared to many other places in the Seychelles. It also offers some great views for the sunset. Standard on the rooms is fine but it really was the staff that made this stay memorable.

Un séjour très agréable, dans un hôtel avec une bonne rélation qualité / prix à Praslin. Au bord de mer, avec une piscine, chambre spacieuse, propre, petit déjeuner correct. Calme. Belle vue. Pas très loin de l'aéroport. Une promenade à pied de la banque, des petits supermarchés, des lieux d'intérêt (soit en voiture, en taxi, ou en bus - transport public).

Disponibilità e gentilezza
Nonostante un problema sulla prenotazione, per uno dei due giorni prenotati l'hotel era già al completo, lo staff ha proposto la soluzione collocandoci in un bellissimo appartamento non troppo lontano dall'hotel e ci ha comunque garantito l'utilizzo dei servizi dell'hotel, facendoci scegliere se stare entrambi i giorni nell'appartamento oppure farne uno in hotel e l'altro nell'appartamento. Inoltre lo staff si è prodigato per cercarci un alloggio presso l'isola di la dighe nei giorni successivi e ci ha consigliato il noleggio di un auto per andare a visitare l'isola in autonomia. In generale è un buon posto per soggiornare a Praslin, il mare è molto basso e se si vuole nuotare c'è la piscina dell'hotel. La colazione è molto buona. Consigliato

Bra läge på strand
Enkelt, gammalt och slitet hotel i kolonialstil men därmed inte sagt dåligt. Vi trivdes jättebra men vill man ha lyx är detta inget altenativ men bra läge direkt på stranden på Grand Anses södra ände. Tidvatten gör stranden bred dagtid. Frukosten väldigt enkel med toast, flingor m mjölk, juice och en trevlig kock som gjorde ägg efter tycke o smak, man fick även en tallrik med frukt. Vi åt middag en kväll men just det vi åt var lite smaklöst. De hade menyer olika för varje kväll men även ala cart, ville man ha det sistnämda var väntan 1 timme, så det får planeras. Kort gångsträcka till byn, ta med ficklampa kvällstid för inga gatljus eller trottoarer. Vi kan varmt rekommedera Breeze restaurang som även hade Take away, cirka 4 min från hotell. Mycket hjälpsamma i receptionen med tips samt ordna hyrbil. Kan rekommenderas men förvänta er inget lyxhotel.

Séjour agréable
4 nuits dans cet hôtel. La bâtisse est magnifique . Le personnel est d.une gentillesse et la patronne Natacha est toujours prête à vous trouver des solutions . L.hotel est sur une plage mais effectivement la baignade n’est pas facile par contre vous pourrez admirer de magnifiques couchés de soleil de votre transat et profiter de la piscine. La nourriture est correcte. Il faudrait juste lui donner un petit coup de jeune dans le mobilier, repeindre les façades . Et modifier les draps un peu courts et les serviettes de toilette et de plage très usées . Mais je crois que Natacha met tout son cœur pour y arriver. Je recommande ce charmant endroitt.

Clean, small and tranquil hotel just next to the sea. Incredible sunset view. Extremely kind and good-hearted staff, and really nice and tasty breakfast. We missed a bit the small bottles of shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom. The hotel is situated away from rush and tourist stuff, so you really can see and feel the vibes of Seychellian life just outside the hotel.
