Description

The Islander Hotel is a three-star property located in Grand Anse on Praslin Island, Seychelles, offering a variety of room types from standard rooms to villas and cottages. Guests can choose from accommodations such as Superior Apartments with kitchens and spacious patios, or family apartments with multiple bedrooms. The hotel features a private beach area, a restaurant serving Creole cuisine, and amenities including WiFi, air conditioning, laundry, and luggage storage. Many reviewers highlight the spacious rooms with both air conditioning and fans, and the relaxed atmosphere by the beach. Some guests appreciate the set menu for half board and the convenience of nearby shops and takeaways. The hotel has received mixed feedback on housekeeping and insect presence, but the friendly staff and peaceful surroundings are often praised.

Location

The Islander Hotel is situated on Anse Kerlan beach, only 240 meters from the shore, providing direct access to a private beach area. It is 2 kilometers from Praslin Island Airport (PRI), making transfers relatively quick. The hotel is near local shops and a popular takeaway within walking distance, and a bus stop is located just across the street, connecting guests to other island attractions like Anse Georgette beach and the UNESCO World Heritage site Valle de Mai. The location in a quiet area makes it suitable for travelers seeking a peaceful stay while still having easy transport options.

Tips

Bring water shoes for safe swimming due to local marine life and occasional strong currents at the beach.
Use the nearby bus stop across the street to explore other beaches and island attractions easily.

We had a great time, it's wonderfully relaxed and quiet its own little private beach (depends on sea), very friendly staff. A good set menu for half board, staff were all friendly. The room was very spacious, a great bathroom inside and outside private seating ac and fan. Convenience store a couple of minutes walk and great lunch takeaway a few minutes further.

The place is so beautiful and clean nice beach and friendly staff .We took bed and breakfast and sat outside the restaurant where the view is so beautiful it’s real paradise couldn’t ask for more

We stayed at Islander Hotel for 5 nights. While check-in was pleasant, the overall experience was disappointing for the price. Cleanliness was poor — rooms were only cleaned every other day, and there were no housekeeping staff regularly present. The receptionist was friendly at first but largely unhelpful afterward.

We weren’t informed that water supply stops during the night. While we understand the water scarcity in Seychelles, most hotels have water storage solutions — this one did not. There were also insects and reptiles in the villa, which made the stay uncomfortable.

The restaurant had very limited variety and hardly any guests, so we often had to cook ourselves or travel far to find decent food. The lighting inside the villa was extremely dim, creating a gloomy and depressing atmosphere in the evenings.

We didn’t feel especially welcome overall, and guest support seemed minimal. The beach shown in photos isn’t usable due to strong currents, so we had to travel daily to other beaches. The property has potential but is poorly managed. It feels like the owner is absent and the current team is disengaged. We definitely overpaid and wouldn’t recommend this place in its current state

There are some Bad reviews online about this hotel. None are real. Internet was good, and food was great. There is a clean pristine sandy beach in front of the house.

The hotel is super good from check in was smooth and the welcome drink amazing.
The rooms are very nice and natural good. The breakfast and dinner was beyond our imagination.
The beach is 2minuttes walk and you can also go to shop close by or take a bus for experience 2 minuts away fromani road.
The owner Mr Patrick meet us so lively and amazing staff and who serbed dine r and breaksfast .

Located in a quiet area, has its own small private beach area (sadly weather meant sea was a bit rough for the latter part of our stay), but for the first part lovely for a dip, with nobody else around. The room is a semi bungalow, very spacious, comfy bed, good bathroom, with both AC and fan. WiFi was good with no issues. Breakfast is basically set but worked well for us, and same for dinner. The half board kept us well fed and costs down. There is a nearby takeaway, very popular with locals, for lunch and a convenience store at the end of the road. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout. Only negative was housekeeping not consistent on being done, but this was not an issue for us. A great place to stay to avoid the crowds.

I booked a superior one bed room, which consists of very good sized double bedroom, kitchen with microwave, grill, oven and hot plate and everything you need for your stay (including a kitchen table if you wish to eat indoors!), bathroom with double sinks and shower and a great patio with table and chairs. There are ceiling fans and air conditioning. Everything was spotlessly clean with daily cleaning and linen and towels were changed every two days. Miette and her team were great and Miette was able to arrange taxis and excursions for me as I needed them. The bungalows are opposite the on-site restaurant (which serves Creole style food all day) and adjacent to the private beach. There are local shops and a takeaway within 5-15 minutes walk (dependent on what you want). Apart from the hotel’s own beach, you are only a short walk away from Anse Georgette, which the guidebooks mark as one of the two best beaches on the island. It’s accessed via a luxury hotel, which houses the Seychelles only 18-hole golf course and is a beautiful walk in itself. You can also get the local bus (which stops outside the hotel) around the island to visit many of the other beaches and villages, including the UNESCO world heritage site of Valle de Mai. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Islander and am happy to recommend it to fellow travellers. Anse Kerlan is a quiet area of the island and ideal for a relaxing break, but you also have the option of easily visiting other areas should you wish.

After arriving and paying for 5 nights we were shown a stinky bungalow where shortly we found several cockroaches in the bed and bathroom on the same day. Owners claimed this is normal as we came to Seychelles so we should have "expected cockroaches are here". They said we can resign but they will not return our money and that we will find cockroaches in all next hotels as well so no point. We resigned and never slept in this nightmare place, and they never returned us money saying we can publish pictures and videos of cockroaches and they do not care. This shows 620 Euro is more important for them than avoiding this review you are reading which says a lot about these people. Also they said we should know that having light on in the room and open windows are reasons why cockroaches visited our bed. I asked how on earth that could be prevented as there is no glass in the windows or doors of the bungalows so you can not close the place to prevent insects and lizards from entering. In fact you can easily put your all fingers through each window and the doors. They had no idea how to respond to this argument and said we should not use light in the room when it is dark outside (if you like siting in dark after 6pm this may help) ! At some point they said we must have put these cockroaches ourselves into the bed and bathroom on purpose and made a video of them as we did not like their place and wanted to get our money back this way as other guests they had in the past (I have a recording of this surreal conversation). We never got our money back for these 5 days we have not spent there and we had to pay again for the next hotel (obviously not a single cockroach there). They obviously lied to us saying each hotel will have cockroaches trying to manipulate us into staying at their place which would ruin our holidays. Avoid this place and their owners at all costs!

The bed is so comfortable it just swallows you to sleep. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The meals are tasteful and well flavoured. The ambience is calming and relaxing. There's a stretch of beautiful white sandy beach for lovely morning walk.

Great accommodation on Praslin
Excellent self catering accommodation with plenty of space in a lovely location. The private beach is delightful and the hotel is well located to explore the rest of the beautiful island. Really helpful staff and clean, comfortable rooms. Breakfast was really good everyday, perfectly cooked eggs!
