It is very beutiful and it feels like you are on paradise on earth. The service is really good. Especially by the server Dinesh and Sakeem. Both dinner and breakfast is lovely. The food taste amazing and the service is on top. We really enjoyed the fresh fruit and fish. Everyone that works on the hotel, the garderners, cleaners, chefs and servers were all super nice and welcoming.

Our stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful! 🌴✨ Our villa was perfect spacious, beautifully designed, and with a breathtaking view that we could admire every single day. It was exactly what we needed for a truly relaxing getaway.
The food was top-notch everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Every meal was a real pleasure.
The service deserves special recognition professional, warm, and always with a smile. The best was Stephanie B. 💕 Thanks to her, we felt truly special and well taken care of.

We was at the Le Duc October 25 for our honeymoon.
It was breathtaking.
Outstanding food, rooms had such special touches. We specially liked that the owner Robert walked around the hotel to make sure everyone was enjoying their stay.
We was always able to get a spot by the pool, the beach was amazing and the beach bar was great specially the beach party we found this great fun.
We booked all our trips from the hotel with Janine, she was great help and recommended really good trips.
Walking distance to a small shopping strip that we did use a few times.
We would definitely recommend and so glad we picked this hotel for our honeymoon, we’ll look forward to returning one day.

Our stay at Le Duc de Praslin was truly unforgettable. This beautiful boutique hotel has a soul — a perfect blend of elegance, tranquility, and genuine warmth. Every detail is thoughtfully curated, everything is of the highest standard, yet the atmosphere feels intimate and welcoming.
The staff are the heart of the hotel — exceptionally kind, caring, and professional. We would especially like to highlight De Silva, whose professionalism, attentiveness, and sincere kindness truly touched us. This level of personal care makes all the difference and is something truly special.
The ambiance of the hotel is magical, the food is outstanding and prepared with great love, and the rooms are tastefully designed with warmth and attention to detail. The location is perfect, and the beach in front of the hotel is simply stunning — peaceful, pristine, and postcard-worthy.
We felt genuinely welcomed, cared for, and pampered throughout our stay. This is a place that stays with you and calls you back. We will definitely return — and very soon. 🌴❤️

Avoid. The only good thing is the location. We sat down and waited almost half hour that the waitress brought us the menu. There was only two other tables besides us. I got a feeling that stuff must be seriously underpaid and they don't enjoy their job. We left before we ordered...
28.03.2017 Krisztina
Avoid this place unless you want to pay double price as it is stated on menu. Orange juice on menu 55, they asked me to pay 110, more over we got half glass of water with ice and half orange juice. (Far more not 100% juice ) We requested confirmation - thought maybe it is an unwanted mistake, but they said that's the price, no mistake. Very disappointed, not happy with this quality and service.
