Absolutely scandalous. By law, all beaches are publicly accessible, except at Anse Petit Cour, privatized by le domaine de la Réserve. At the entrance, the guard told us we cannot access to the beach. He told us to go around to access the beach, which is not possible, there are fences all around and then a wall... Looking at the picture, we dud not have our rockclimbing gear to go down...After loosing 20 minutes, we came back to the same guard and told him this action is breaking the law, he responded this is the rules of the management. Therefore, we conclude that the management of le domaine de la Réserve is breaching the law of Seychelles which is very serious.

We stayed in a different hotel each night of our honeymoon, and this was probably the most unique (in a good way) stay of them all. The mountains feel close enough to grab, there's snorkeling right on the property, and the design of the rooms all feel like you're living in the middle of the jungle. The food was great, and staff was very kind. My only complaint is that the beds were not comfortable.

Stayed there only 2 nights. Place is nice but after gor back to Eden Island..we both needed to see a doctor. He said 100 % sure that it was bite of bed bugs from previous 2 nights..after contacting the resort later..they said cant be?? Anyway..place and staff were nice.

Great place great staff.
Some problems in the toilet but they try to fix right away.
On the way back to the check out they just broke my bag bad luck for the guy.
Amazing beach surrounding and great beach village near. Just need to be aware that being there to visit all the island you will need 2 full days .
The restaurant dinner use to be thematic days and has great food.

Built in 1980, starting only with 4 bungalow units, this Hotel has made use of it's perfect location! It is now one of the best Hotels in Seychelles. Owned and operated by Joseph Albert, it is now the sister hotel of Le Domaine de L'Orangeraie.

Amazing experience. From check-in to check-out the team went out of their way to facilitate the process. Their rates included transfer to and from the hotel. The establishment is neatly tucked away is a subtle and peaceful location with a private beach. Offering buffet breakfast and dinner is a very good move. The rooms were spot on clean and great outside landscaping to match. Affordable lunch option as well. The ladies were very polite and helpful in every manner. Lastly their covid19 procedure is very strict which is good knowing we are in a global pandemic. Keep it up guys!!!

The most beautiful hotel to stay on your vacation. Loved each and every bit of the stay here. Rooms are widely spacious and we got the beach front room. Excellent view from your room. Complimentary breakfast had various varities of dishes. Different set of Dinner menu for each day of the week. Dinner was tasty too. The hotel is situated in such a beautiful location it itself looks like an tourist spot. Huge swimming pool. If it rains during your stay here , consider that as an complimentary view. We had a rejuvenated stay here. Staff here are very kind and polite.
