Le Duc de Praslin

We had a great experience! We went to the “villa 180” and it was stunning and perfect for us. Suganthan and Deepth were always at our service and were as nice and kind as could be. The hotel was clean and lovely, food was good and the view from the villa is unbelievable. A lovely family vacation :)

We have just had a lovely stay at Le Duc. Overall, the stay was great - almost perfect.

We were greeted by the friendly Florea who provided us with a welcome drink and a nice cool towel. She was a friendly presence throughout our stay.

We were delighted to be upgraded to the Honeymoon Suite which was a very beautiful room. However, we found it lacked seating options for the two of us as the outside courtyard had four very different seating options for one, (bean bag, hanging chair, rocking chair, sunbed) meaning we could not comfortably enjoy a drink out there together. Each of these seating options didn’t lend itself well to the table outside and so we used the single inside chair out there. Additionally, the outside shower was not practical as no shower gel or shelf to put things, so after a first shower running between the inside and outside, we only used the inside one. Despite this, the room was nice and we appreciated the pillow menu, which when a different pillow was requested, this arrived rapidly.

The food was very good. Special shout out to Chef Dharani who went above and beyond for me as I have allergies and dietary restrictions, making me off menu items and ensuring she knew what I wanted each day. She also checked in on us at our table. In addition Chef Mahesh was also very helpful and friendly, but all in all, every member of staff was very friendly and very helpful. The service is second to none. Each day the chefs would show me what I could eat and it was always delicious. I felt safe eating here and would not hesitate to return. The buffet changes daily so there is plenty of variety, and the quality of the food is good in contrast to other hotel buffets. Only point for improvement for the food would be more protein in vegetarian / vegan options, and more variety in dessert as only vegan option is sorbet (although there was an agar agar dessert one day).

The hotel reception was very good at organising our transfers and car hire, and they were very responsive and helpful on the phone.

The resort is beautiful, with lots of flowers and it is well maintained. The beach is stunning and the beach staff very friendly.

We did struggle to fully relax inside the resort during the day due to noise - there was a mixture of constant pop music, maintenance and construction meaning we could not comfortably relax. However we did not spend much time in the room anyway.

Overall, we would not hesitate to recommend this resort and we would love to come back.

Thanks to everyone for making our stay so memorable.

Very nice service from our majordome Deepthi Tharindu. The view of the villa 270 and the pool are marvellous!
