A wonderful hotel. The location is perfect- fairly close to amenities and yet secluded. The ambience of gives a true tropical vibe with hibiscus in bloom. The room was spacious, inviting and clean. The food - what can I say - it was exquisite, flavourful and homely. I loved the Creole night which offered a taste of local food and culture. Highly recommended!

Lovely quiet resort on Praslin
Does what it says on the tin. Private beach, great location, helpful staff - only slight drawback is the food options are a bit limited. This was our second visit and it lived up to our expectations.

L'Archipel is the only hotel in a very nice beach (Anse Gouvernement) so you will be able to enjoy this natural wonder without disturbance. The hotel is well integrated with Praslin natural beauty. Hotel staff is very friendly and happy to help with any of your requests - from excursions to taxi arrangements. Rooms can be located quite close to the beach, so you can fall asleep while listening to the sea and the sounds of all the island birds. I was impressed with the high cleaning standard and the two daily upkeeps of our room - as this hotel is integrated with nature it is quite difficult to keep the insects at bay, something that the hotel managed quite successfully.

It was a good stay, the staff friendly just that the kitchen closes early for dinner n you cant have late food after 9;30pm. Also the lady at the reception,Christa is very rude and shouts at us. That was a turn off as the receptionist should be warm n accommodating.

Place needs renovation
Place was accessed through bush trail. One of the oldest resorts on Praslin is long overdue for a relaunch. Small pool. Air conditioning did not work well, Internet was awful slow, and did not work 50% of the time. Little effort was made to keep beach free of weeds. Water in bay was very murky, and could not see bottom.

Great Resort; Management Needs Improvement
Stayed for four nights. Pros: Great views!!!, lovely breakfast and service from staff with delicious warm pastries each morning, amazing location near downtown, beautiful rooms. Cons: Communication with hotel, beach was very pretty but its swimming condition was just ok and snorkeling was non-existent due to the very low visibility, no fitness room, got the impression the management was more interested in $$$ than making sure you had a pleasant experience. Mini fridge didnt work and needed to be replaced which they did so quickly, but only after suggesting we weren't using it right. Room was missing robes and luggage rack which is totally fine, but when we called to ask for these, they were adamant they were in the room, but they weren't. Just a lot of back and forth. Overall, the stay was okay. It had its ups and definite downs. We had a booking miscommunication which was eventually worked out, but could have been handled a lot more professionally by the management team. The poor communication left a very bitter taste in our mouths and unfortunately, it was hard to enjoy the rest of our say.

Amazing ocean views!
The staff was amazing! Everyone was so nice and very accommodating. However, even better was the view. Each room looks out over the ocean and breakfast is served right on the beach. I would stay here again and again.

Nice hotel on the beach.
Most rooms have a view of the ocean. Staff was helpful and friendly. Buffet breakfast was bountiful with tables set on the beach or just on the veranda. The hotel was a little ways from the village but it didn’t bother us.

Wonderful boutique hotel on the beach.
We stayed at L'archepal for 4 nights. It is beautifully situated on the water. There are several deluxe rooms that are right on the water - I would recommend asking about one of those because your experience will be more magical. The beach at the hotel is private and beautiful, but to get to other places on the island you will have to rent a car or hire a taxi. The service at the hotel was awesome from check in, throughout meals and checkout. Geoffrey, Alicia and Pierre were huge standouts on service. The only thing I think needs improvement is the food. Because if it's "secluded" location we ended up eating several meals at the hotel. Dinner was a pre fixed menu most of the night we were there, without the option of ordering ala carte. I cannot say that any dinner I would rate higher than average. Mixed drinks are around $20USD- but your alcohol at the local supermarket and mix drinks in your room. The excursions were great - if you plan on snorkeling bring your own mask. The masks do not have change out mouth pieces and we're pulled out of a barrel. We spent time sterilizing ours pre trip on our own with antibacterial wipes we had. Overall a relaxing hotel with great service situated on a beautiful beach.

Peaceful and beautiful
Peaceful hotel in a beautiful garden setting and on its own beach! My eight night stay could not have been more perfect. Set in a sheltered cove with its own beach and excellent restaurant everything I needed was there. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant seafood was delicious and the buffet nights amazing! cocktails before dinner by the pool was a highlight. Many thanks to all the staff.

quiet get-away for couples
We picked L'Archipel as it looked to be reasonable quality (and price) in a good location with its own direct access to the beach. The hotel did not disappoint - my wife and I had a super, quiet week when we did not need to stray far from our room, the beach, the pool bar and the restaurant. In general, the staff were outstanding, always happy to help. Our only frustration was the inattentiveness of some of the bar and restaurant staff - we could have died of thirst waiting for the barman to look around and survey his customers. In the room the only disappointment was the bed - the mattress was cheap, seemed old and creaky and hard. All in all, we had a great time and we would happily go back again and recommend it to others - but it is definitely a couples hotel and not the place for children of any age.

The rooms are good but the staff are not really professional. First of all when they say free wifi, they mean only at the restaurant and not in the room. They charge you for using wifi at the room. Also, we requested for an internal flight to be arranged and they said it was done but on the day of the flight they said the booking has been cancelled because we didn't pay...however we had asked if we can pay on the day of the flight and we were told that's fine!!

Not very happy to stay at this hotel
Room was quite pretty & comfortable. However there was no hot water on the arrival & could not have shower or bath after the long trip from Hong Kong. Hotel staffs ( starting from the arrival, the staff at the reception & the staffs at the restaurant.....etc.) were not very friendly & pleasant. No smile, not happy so much......
