Coco de Mer Hotel & Black Parrot Suites

Some places are beautiful because of their location. Others become unforgettable because of the people who work there. This hotel has both. Our stay on Praslin was one of the most memorable travel experiences we have ever had. The breathtaking tropical scenery, peaceful atmosphere, and beautiful surroundings created the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday. However, what made our stay truly exceptional was the incredible hospitality of the staff, especially Anura. Anura is one of those rare people who naturally make others feel welcome. His kindness, warmth, professionalism, and genuine smile brightened every day of our stay. He was always attentive, caring, and happy to help, making every meal and every interaction a pleasure. It never felt like simple customer service—it felt like sincere hospitality from someone who truly enjoys making guests happy. People like Anura are the reason guests leave with wonderful memories and a desire to return. He is a real credit to the hotel, and we hope his dedication and outstanding work are recognized because he truly deserves it. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We will always remember the paradise-like views, the peaceful surroundings, and above all, the kindness we experienced every day. We hope to come back one day. Until then, we will recommend this hotel wholeheartedly to our family and friends.

Veronia at the reception of Hotel Coco de Mer deserves special recognition. When we accidentally left a bag behind after checking out, she informed us promptly, and took the initiative herself to contact Creole Travel Service to arrange its return to us on Mahé. On top of that, even though we were still on Praslin, Veronia arranged an excellent rental car for us on Mahé, organizing it so that it would be handed over to us right at the ferry terminal upon arrival, with the flexibility to drop it off at the airport at the end of our trip. Thanks to her efforts, we’ve been able to make the most of our remaining 1.5 days in the Seychelles without any hassle. Service like this makes a real difference to a trip. Many thanks, Veronia!

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and had a wonderful time. The staff were kind and helpful, and our suite was kept clean every day. We also had a beautiful view of the ocean. The location is on the quieter side of the island, but there is a free bus to take you to the busier side a few days a week. There is plenty to do with watersports and other activities. The food was delicious, and there was entertainment during dinner. It was a lovely trip, and I would highly recommend this hotel.

We had the most relaxing time here. The property is simply stunning. When we arrived we decided we’d like to upgrade to the Black Parrot Suites as we were staying for our honeymoon, we thought why not make it more special. The staff were very kind to show us around the suites before making the decision and let us pick between two rooms. We got a discounted rate and felt it was well worth the extra. The suites are a private area of the property where you have a separate pool and bar. The rooms were amazing with a spacious balcony spanning the most spectacular view of the mountains and ocean. We loved watching the sunset here every evening. We enjoyed the bath and the outdoor shower was a treat. The rooms were modern and spotlessly cleaned every day. We had access to the facilities at Coco de Mer and enjoyed the infinity pool and lunch & cocktails at Mango Bar, which we found very reasonably and fairly priced compared to prices in Mahé. We had half board, so had the breakfast and dinner buffet included in our rate. Breakfast was really tasty and varied every day, the freshly made omelettes were wonderful. The dinner was varied every night too. Staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. We enjoyed the live music on Friday night, it created a lovely atmosphere. We didn’t venture out too much as this was the relaxing part of our honeymoon in the Seychelles. We did go to Anse Lazio which is a 30 minute drive from the hotel. We had a rental car, but the hotel runs a regular shuttle to the beach free of charge. We also did the Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve which is only 10 minutes up the road. We enjoyed our tour here. The hotel offers free stand up paddle boarding and water sports. We rented snorkel equipment from them to take to Anse Lazio with us. It’s in a quieter area of the island but we loved this. You wouldn’t need to venture far as the hotel has everything you need.

This was our second stay in the Black Parrot Suites after our honeymoon 22 years ago!!! From our contact prior to arrival to our leaving for home we were made to feel so special. A lovely welcome from Fiona who showed us to our suite and was there at our previous stay. We also had a welcome bottle of champagne!!! We again took advantage of the free bus transfer to the beautiful Anse Lazio Beach which has changed a lot since our last visit. We also took the three island trip and the day trip to La Digue which again didn't disappoint. The hotel and suites have been completely refurbished to a modern fresh standard with everything you needed in the room. They were cleaned daily and we had a turn down service in the evening. The buffet was incredible with a good variety to suite everyone's needs. Bar food and drinks were very reasonably priced. The staff made you feel so welcome throughout and couldn't do enough for us. The atmosphere was very relaxed and extremely quiet, ideal for a romantic getaway. We renewed our wedding vows whilst there and didn't disappoint. Philip made sure everything was planned during our briefing upon arrival. My hair was done by Anne from the spa and she also helped with my make up and dressing. Photographs done which we have to look back on. We were both made to feel so special on the day. Thank you so much for our stay and would highly recommend this resort either for a special holiday or as your wedding venue!!!
