Hotel L'Archipel

מלון נפלא, צוות מקסים, חדר דה לקס מפנק, חדר רחצה גדטל, מיטה גדטלה, מרפסת נוף מטריף לים.חוף יפה ממש, לשים לב לעונה שיש בו אצות, בספטמבר היו. היתה חוויה נפלאה.

Location, staff, rooms.

We sent an email in advance requesting transport from the airport. We didn’t get any reply.

Beautiful location, spacious rooms and super friendly staff!

Lovely quiet hotel in an amazing location at the end of the Cote D”or in a sheltered bay. Kayaks and paddle boards are provided and we swam in the pool every morning when it was empty. Completely relaxing, the staff are there if you need them but leave you to your peace and quiet. Only ate dinner once which was nice, lunch was really good and very good drinks. Very nice breakfast pastries. The sheltered bay seems to be a nursery for small sting rays and the odd baby shark which is amazing and can be seen without a snorkel. For good snorkelling a short car journey to Anse Lazio for all the reef fish and sea turtles. I would recommend car hire here to see the best of the island but we also enjoyed the walk into Anse Volbert along the amazing white sands. The gardens in the hotel are beautifully maintained. Accommodation is spotless and spacious. A special mention to Marcus who was so friendly during our stay.

Beautiful location and beach!! Staff were very helpful. Food was delicious!! Beach was very beautiful and calm water. There was not much to see under the water, but the water was very warm and relaxing!!

Beautiful resort, with a wonderful calm bay to swim in. Theres not really great snorkeling, but the water is great to wade in. The people are wonderful and food is delicious. The rooms are very large with plenty of space, absolutely loved the bath tub! Pool is nice and warm and was never busy! Place is nicely located, but you would need a car hire or taxi to get to restaurants or shopping. Highly recommend!

Nous avons tout aimé, l'emplacement, les villas, la vue, le personnel, la propreté, nous avons visité beaucoup d'hôtels lors de nos nombreux voyages et L'Archipel restera dans nos top hôtel ! Le côté intimiste et la tranquillité des lieux, nous avons adoré. Nous reviendrons certainement... Merci à l'équipe de l'hôtel et bravo.

Beautiful setting, great accommodation, very clean and comfortable rooms, meals excellent and staff extremely friendly and attentive.

Nothing.

We had a truly wonderful stay at Hotel L’Archipel and can wholeheartedly recommend it. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly well taken care of. The entire team is exceptionally warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making each guest’s stay special. A heartfelt thank you to Benson, Edward, Fiona, Jessy, Kevin, and Lukas, as well as the wonderful sous-chefs who prepared our breakfast omelets every morning with such care. These personal touches made a real difference. We would also like to warmly thank the reception staff and Florent and Isuru at the bar, who made every evening so enjoyable with their friendliness and excellent service. The setting of the hotel is simply breathtaking. The beach is exceptionally beautiful — peaceful, pristine, and perfect for relaxing or enjoying the stunning natural surroundings. What truly sets this hotel apart is the combination of its idyllic location and the sincere hospitality of its staff. Every request was met with kindness and a willingness to go the extra mile, which made our stay not only comfortable but memorable. We leave with very fond memories and would return without hesitation.

Went there for cocktails... best of the Seychelles islands

LÅNGT ATT GÅ

Die Bewertungen über herumfliegende Vögel und mangelnder Hygiene beim Frühstück hat das Hotel offensichtlich ernst genommen. Die Speisen waren alle mit Tüchern oder Folien abgedeckt, insofern war Problem gelöst. Gleiches gilt für den Seetank am Strand, auch dieser wurde vom Personal ständig zusammengeräumt. Das Frühstück auf der Terasse ist wirklich sehr schön und lecker. Auch die Buchungen von Ausflügen, Booten oder Schnorcheln verläuft problemlos.

Die Lagebeschreibung könnte genauer sein. Für Einkäufe, Essen gehen oder andere Unternehmungen benötigt man einen Mietwagen. Der Weg von der Hauptstraße zum Hotel ist gerade im Dunkeln schwierig. Dort benötigt man eine Taschenlampe. Und Freundschaft mit den vielen Krebsen.

Beautiful beachfront grounds. We had the most perfectly located beachfront room, with beautiful sea views. It consisted of a spacious semidetached bungalow, but it felt very private and we never noticed the neighboring room. The small and bay and beach are beautiful, we were not so lucky with the weather and sea conditions, but it must be gorgeous with calm weather conditions. Breakfast was excellent, served beachfront, buffet style, and there is a great egg station. We did not have any meal plan, so we had to use the ground floor restaurant, where the menu was simple but the food was good. One evening there was a creole buffet for all guests and we loved it. There is a diving school right on the premises, and the hotel has a few other boats on site for excursions too. Staff was always very friendly and helpful, they went out of their way to organize everything we asked for, including late check out. You can walk to the next village in roughly half an hour. For Praslin, we found it to be good value for money.

Most of the rooms seem to be scattered up the hill in the gardens, and while they probably have a beautiful sea view too, we would not have enjoyed being on the hill. Our room was spacious, but some things like the bathroom or the furniture on the terrace were a bit outdated, like 1980s, and quite standard, instead of high end. The aircon was functional but a bit old, and very loud, so we had to turn it off at night to sleep. They apparently have 2 restaurants; we had to use the restaurant on the ground floor, for guests with no meal plan; the menu is simple and never changed; the food was good, but it got boring after two days. Half-board guests use the other restaurant, upstairs, but we didn't really understand the difference since both restaurants are connected in the same space, and there seems to be only one kitchen, and on buffet night we got to eat upstairs too. We had the feeling the separation is artificial and unnecessary; the hotel doesn't really have 2 restaurants, and doesn't need them anyhow. The pool's position is a bit unfortunate, a bit hidden at the back, with restricted views, so not so attractive, but we don't need to use the pool on Seychelles anyhow.

Tutto perfetto

Wunderschöne ruhige Lage direkt am Strand. Liebevoll gestaltetes Hotel, Restaurant für Frühstück und Dinner direkt am Meer. Personal sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Alles läuft sehr gut organisiert und relaxt ab.

Die Liegestühle am Balkon sind nicht besonders bequem.

Vi elskede beliggenheden som var for enden af en vej og for enden af en strand, meget privat og roligt. Selve hotellet er meget roligt, I en skøn have med et rigt fugle liv. Store værelser, dejlig strand og pool. Maden var virkelig god og personalet havde gjort meget ud af at der var mange veganske muligheder.

Badeværelset var stort, men lidt sparsomt indrettet, ikke så luksuriøst og det kunne have været renere.

L'Archipel could be described also like a small boutique hotel, as a excellent one for a 4-stars category. And a hotel's beach covered by a fine white sand almost dream one if there was less seaweed. But luckilly there is very nice and clean infinity pool with the view of the laguna. Special compliments deserve also hotel restaurant which is very good. During our stay we ate only a'la carte and the meals especially

We just completed a lovely 2-night/3-day stay at this beautiful boutique property, and it felt ideal for a romantic getaway. Set on the slopes of a hillside, every room offers breathtaking views of a pristine private beach, creating a very intimate and serene atmosphere. The service was excellent throughout our stay, with the entire property impeccably maintained and spotlessly clean. Our checkout happened to fall on a weekend when ferry services to Mahé are limited, and the team graciously offered us a complimentary late checkout, which made our departure completely stress-free. The onsite restaurant and bar are fantastic—perfect for relaxed, candle-lit dinners with great food and a peaceful ambience. Overall, this is an understated yet luxurious property that’s ideal for couples and honeymooners looking for privacy, comfort, and memorable views.

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.

Everything. This hotel is in the perfect location and offers everything you would need. From a beautiful pool and sun deck. To a private entrance to the sea, together with magnificent food and very friendly and accommodating staff.

Just need to increase the water temperature for the both and shower

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

This is a loveley small private hotel at the end of o road. The rooms are banked up the side of a natural bowl, so steps are inevitable for the higher rooms but the views are woth it. The beach and bay are lovelry with th sea shallow. If sea grass bothers you, proceed out of the hotel and 300yds along the road is a lovely beach with no see grass (unfortunately no beds) The staff are wonderful and very helpful and the food is marvellous. Having a drink in the bar in the evening is magical as thr fruit bats fly from the trees behind the hotel. The cocktails are marvellous. We were in room 802 (there are not that many rooms) which has spectacular sunsets and a great view across the wider bay. A trip to Curieuse is a wonderful experience, but if you walk across to the next bay be sure you are fit enouch as it can be hard going! a visit to the Vallee de Mai is also a must. We would return to this lovely hotel if we are able. We reccommend it to anyone.

Petit déjeuner excellent face à la mer ! Cocktails fabuleux à savourer au bord de la piscine. Chambre très spacieuse , au calme avec une vue splendide sur la mer

RAS

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!

Freundliches Personal, sehr zuvorkommend.

Strand sollte besser gereinigt werden, zu viel Seegras am Strand

מיקום יחודי, צוות חברותי , שמח לסייע. חדר מרווח ונקי . סמוך לשמורת טבע ובמרחק נסיעה של כחצי שעה, לחוף מהיפים שראינו. וכמובן, מרכוס הכל יכול, שעשה הכל כדי לסייע ולעזור..

תחום האוכל דורש שדרוג . ארוחת הבוקר סבירה וכך גם ערבי ה Buffet.. ארוחות ה a la cart, צריכות רענון ושיפור.

Personnel très accueillant, très bons équipements, restauration excellente

RAS

Idyllique, petit déjeuner en bord de plage.

Tout était parfait

Pretty spot

Limited kayak area and not good beach for swimming

Widok z pokoju, cisza

Widać było, że hotel nie jest świeży, w łazience była pleśń na ścianach, jedzenie raczej średnie

Views, beach, room

Lunch information and lack of information in room

Emplacement de rêve, plage sublime, service de plongée à l'hotel (PADI), location bateau / taxi bateau (SeaHorse) sur la plage pour aller voir les autres îles. Equipé dévouée, cuisine 1 soir sur 2 faite en menu par le chef, serviettes plage changées chaque jours, mise à dispo équipement Snorkeling/Paddle/Canoë.

L’emplacement est super, la plage est top

La nourriture proposée n’est pas terrible

Das Frühstücksbuffet hat uns gut gefallen. Die Auswahl empfanden wir als gut, mehr aber auch nicht. An den Abenden, an denen das Essen à la Carte serviert wurde, fanden wir die Speisen sehr gut. Die Wohneinheiten sind gross und die Betten bequem. Die Lage direkt am feinen Sandstrand war beeindruckend.

Die Mahlzeiten abends am Buffet fanden wir nicht so toll und die Auswahl war sehr überschaubar.

L'emplacement, l'accès direct a une plage splendide, les 2 restaurants vraiment succulents (merci aux chefs), et un personnel agréable autant par le service apporté que leur gentillesse. Je recommande cet hôtel.

L’hôtel est situé à 10 minutes du Ferry, donc très pratique Chambre spacieuse et agréable Personnel très sympathique Petit déjeuner au top

La demi-pension et notamment le buffet qui n’est pas terrible Les boissons payantes au restaurant comme l’eau. L’hôtel est un peu isolé

Excellent hotel, nice location, good breakfast and dinner, alternately buffet and à la carte, very nice garden villas with a lot of space and own terraces. We really enjoyed our time at L’Archipel. Keep the good service and familiar atmosphere!!

Wonderful hotel. Very well located, includes a private beach with turquoise water and white sand. Just 5 minutes from the port and with amazing views to the ocean. Kayak equipment included and amazing breakfast.

We booked our stayed with half board, still do not understand why normal beverages are not included with the dinner (not even water), it is obvious that everyone drinks with his dinner. This kind of details prevent a hotel from being a top one.

Absolutely beautiful hotel in an idyllic location. The rambling grounds are full of flowers. Knowing that some rooms are quite a way (and uphill) from the main area we had requested one lower down and we were given a lovely one just above the beach and close to the main area. Spacious, comfortable room, bathroom with bath and separate shower, large veranda with view through palm trees to the beach - very relaxing and tranquil. Pleasant swimming off the beach. The staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we found the food very poor, both at the casual beach restaurant and the more formal dinner one, which lets the hotel down somewhat.

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.

Sea turtles? Live local music over dinner? Peace and tranquility in nature? Huge rooms that are spotlessly clean and with mesmerising views? Long romantic walks along the spotless beach. The friendliest service ever? Just book, you won't regret it.

Lovely and quiet, with a great beach.

Everything was excellent.

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.

This hotel is one of the loveliest hotels I've ever stayed in. If you want buzzy and lots to do, this hotel isn't for you, but if you want incredible rooms, a paradise beach, great food and amazing personal service, you'll love it here. From the moment we arrived we were treated like long lost family, shown to our 2 bedroom family suite which was spotless and huge with a beautiful terrace with comfy sun loungers to stare at the beautiful views. Breakfast was delicious, as was the food at lunch and dinner, but what makes this hotel a place we will return to again and again is the genuinely warm, friendly and helpful staff. Can't wait to come back again.

Thank you very much Patricia for the great service. It was a great experience. We liked the location of the hotel as it has good views of Dubai Ain and Jumeirah Beach Residence. We also appreciate Madinah, Hsu, Jumei, Rój, Sean, Sujan, Mr . Naveen and Mr. Sandeep. We have been around for 10 days and the hotel is nice. We will soon come back and this hotel will be our home again. Thanks

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

Personal was good

Pretty old

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

We have loved our stay at L’Archipel. So relaxing and peaceful at all times of the day. Great setting with the most amazing views from our cottage of both the bay and the stunning gardens. Flowers, birds and fruit bats abound. Delicious food and very friendly staff. Our cottage has been perfect and Jerami has done a great job of looking after us. Plus his skills with towel art have been much enjoyed on a daily basis. Thank you everyone for a beautiful stay in Paradise. Sarah and David P

Absolutely beautiful hotel, stunning beach and gardens, friendly helpful staff, very clean, good food. Couldn’t ask for more we highly recommend a stay here. Staff make it easy to go paddle boarding or canoeing from the hotel. Depending on sea conditions the water can be a little cloudy for snorkelling but there is so much wildlife around the hotel I wasn’t disappointed. A car is useful to get anywhere, driving is easy around the island. We visited Anse Georgette and Anse Lazio and loved them both.

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.

none

The view,, wow. The cocktails were unbelievable.

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.
