Berjaya Praslin Resort

An average, dated hotel with limited amenities, but good value for money thanks to its excellent location.

👍 Pros

• Excellent location: Directly opposite beautiful Côte d’Or Beach, which is the resort’s biggest advantage.
• Good swimming pool: Well-maintained and comfortable.
• Helpful staff: Bilal from concierge and Shafiq from security were courteous and helpful.
• Excellent dining: The Pizzeria restaurant offered the best food and service during our stay. Chef Manjit stood out for his excellent cooking and personalized attention.
• Good value: A reasonable choice for travelers who prioritize location and spend most of their time exploring Praslin.

👎 Cons

• Dated property: The rooms and facilities are old-fashioned and need modernization.
• Limited amenities: The resort lacks the facilities and contemporary feel expected of a modern resort.
• Poor toilet flush: The outdated system often did not work properly.
• No extra drinking water: This was inconvenient in the tropical climate.
• Rigid pool towel policy: Despite having paid for the service, we were refused a towel later in the day because we had not collected one earlier.

⭐ Final Verdict

Berjaya Praslin Resort is not a luxury property, but it is a practical, reasonably priced option if location and value for money are your priorities. I would recommend it mainly for its proximity to Côte d’Or Beach, rather than for its rooms or resort facilities.

As soon as we arrived at the hotel, our luggage was taken care of immediately and we were welcomed with drinks. After a long journey, this was such a nice touch.

After check-in, Bilal gave us excellent recommendations about what to do in Praslin and La Digue. He explained everything on the map and also sent all the details to us on WhatsApp in our own language. He made everything so easy for us and we never had to worry about planning anything ourselves.

I think the hotel’s Google photos are a little outdated, so they don’t really give you a clear idea of what the hotel is like. That’s why I added some more recent and varied photos.

The breakfast is a standard hotel breakfast, but it is filling and sufficient. The rooms are a little old-fashioned, but they were spotlessly clean. Everything you might need is available in the room, including shampoo, shower gel and lotions. The hotel also provides beach towels in exchange for a deposit.

The beach is just a 5-minute walk away, and the hotel has sun loungers there. The only downside is that the loungers don’t have cushions, so they can get a little uncomfortable. :)

Everything else you could want — great service, peace and tranquility — is here at this hotel.

Thank you for everything. We truly enjoyed our stay!

—— Bilal, I had accidentally left some of my belongings at the hotel, and he kindly arranged for them to be delivered all the way to the Berjaya Hotel in Mahé, where I’m staying now. I’m truly grateful for all his effort and kindness. This level of helpfulness and genuine care is exactly what makes a hotel special. Honestly, this kind of hospitality alone is a reason to stay at this hotel! 🙏🏻❤️
