The chalet was clean and well equipped. It is on the beachfront and it has a garden fully equipped with tables, sunlougers and hammocks. It's not cheap but accommodations in Praslin seem to be more expensive than in Mahe or La Digue. The location is a bit remote but Pascal picked us up at the jetty and drove us around when needed. There is also a bus stop at a 5 mins walk so you can get around the island quite easily. Tatiana and Pascal were very kind hosts, they let us check in early the first day and keep the room late the day we left which was really helpful as it allowed us to pack and take a shower just before going to the airport (assuming it was only possible because the room wasn't booked). Thanks again both. ##### Olivier ### 8/10 Good #### Pierre May 21, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sejour couple VDN +les équipements disponibles (cuisine tout équipé, sèche-cheveux, lampe torche..) +Possibilité d'aller avec une carte d'accès gratuite à Grand Anse et Anse Georgette (2 superbes plages) -pas grand chose dans les environs si vous n'avez pas de voiture (le seul et unique resto est à 15min, la 1er plage à un bon 20min) -rapport qualité prix moyen -la petite plage privée mériterait d'être nettoyé des petites algues et branches qui traînent ##### Pierre Stayed 3 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony Dec 2, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Private Beach on a Movie set!
