Amazing rooms!

The room we got at Le Duc were above all expectations, like a little villa with a huge bathroom. It was so good that we actually extended our stay. The beach just 10 meters from the room was amazing so it's lovely to stay there or it's possible to go on excursions to different beaches and islands. The only thing the wan't super, was the evening food (we're no big fans of buffets) and our last evening we had a really bad experience at the Tapas restaurant at the beach (belongs to the hotel if I've not mistaken) with terrible food and service.

Bel hôtel avec une bonne restauration, une salle de sport bien équipée et l'une des plus belle plage de l'île. Personnel attentionné. Plutôt bons cocktails au bar de la plage (le Café des Arts). Attention : l'hôtel fait discothèque le week-end. Si la musique vous dérange, évitez les nuits des vendredi et samedi ; choisissez-les, au contraire, si vous appréciez les soirées festives.

Un hôtel merveilleux, une superbe communication, un accueil chaleureux. Un large choix d’aliments de qualité pour le petit-déjeuner ainsi que pour le dîner. Une jolie chambre décorée avec soin Hôtel très bien placé, un accès direct à la magnifique plage Côte d’or. Gros pour le propriétaire M. Payet qui prend le temps de saluer ses clients. Étant un couple de voyageurs, c’est la première fois qu’un hôtel mérite 1000/10 ! Un réel coup de cœur, nous y reviendrons, c’est certain. Merci au Duc de Praslin et aux habitants de l’île de Praslin d’avoir sublimé notre voyage de noces.

We were in Seychelles for a week-long honeymoon in September 2021 and we stayed in a different hotel room each night. This was no question top 3 for us. The views from the resort are incredible, the two pools (especially the hang out area on the water with the plunge pools) were a huge perk, and they had some of the best food/drinks of anywhere we stayed. The rooms were clean and modern, and the staff were all very friendly. Highly recommend if you plan to visit Praslin!

Nagyon kiábrándító volt... Ezzel a mondattal tudnám összefoglalni a lényeget. A személyzet képzetlen és rendkívül udvariatlan volt (tisztelet az egy két kivételnek) 4 napból 4x nyitottak ránk a szobában. Megdöbbentő volt, amikor két szobalany kopogas nélkül nyitott a ferjemre

Many extra hidden charges

Very expensive for what it’s worth, they make you pay for espresso coffee in the room. I was charged for 2 water in the mini bar when I only drunk 1. The charge is for the drinks when It was supposed to be free because the room came with a half board but they didn’t inform that drinks are separate.

Le Duc de Praslin is truly beautiful. 5 star property. You can have it all at Le Duc from a long white sand beach to sparkling clean pools, a new beachside club with music and dancing and comfortable rooms. The design of the buildings and gardens is stunning with beautiful driftwood and plantings and more. We completely enjoyed our stay. The food is very good and a selection that should make everyone happy. The staff is quick to be helpful and the owner Robert is always around checking in with guests. A special thank you to Rawan who always remembered how we liked our favorite cocktails :)

Nice hotel

Our experience was overall very good at Le Duc hotel. Food, restaurants, and beach were in high standard. Breakfast was not very diverse. There were ants in our room from the second we enter the room, and it took 3 days for the maintenance to seel the shower (they were only in the bathroom). Also, we had one day and a half with no hot water in the shower. The service was very good. I would like to mention the receptionists, Hillary and Jenne for there kindness, they help us a lot with finding cool places on the island and the area.

Dès notre 1ère nuit dans l’hôtel nous avons subi un gros problème de fuite d’eau au plafond dans notre chambre. Le matin, après avoir signalé la situation à la réception le directeur de l’hôtel nous a immédiatement proposé de changer de chambre et nous a fait choisir entre 2 propositions. Nous avons été relogés dans le tout nouveau bâtiment dans une Chambre neuve et magnifique. Tout était parfait. Nous recommandons vivement cet établissement parfaitement situé : personnel très accueillant et professionnel, buffets de très bonne qualité : jus d’orange frais le matin, grand choix de plats le soir. Très bon établissement. Merci

The Duc

We enjoyed the Duc. The staff were outstanding. This was really the strength of the operation. The location was also terrific. We stayed in the just-opened new complex. The rooms were ok but the new swimming pool was very, very nice. The new complex also features a very complete exercise room and even had a trainer available. The cafe next to the Duc (and run by them) had a very nice porch just above the high tide line on the ocean. We enjoyed that tremendously. There were a few negatives. Like almost every place we visited in the Seychelles the internet was sporadic and unreliable. All but the most basic browsing or email was generally not possible. When we did complain, however, the staff worked hard to improve what they could. The breakfasts offered by the hotel were generally good, but we didn't like the dinners which seemed very meat-heavy. There was generally no vegetarian option. (That having been said, I'm sure the staff would have done something had we asked). Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
