We spent 10 marvellous days on Praslin at the Villa Flamboyant and enjoyed the hotel's superb beach , simple but warm family friendly atmosphere and of course Rosemary's creole succulent cuisine and her elaborate stories of the island life . We do recommend this place for your holidays. more

We spent few days in Villa Flamboyant in September 2008: it looked nice from the web-site, but unfortunately it wasn't! The main problem was that nothing was clean: forks, knives, glasses, plates were always "oily", as if they had been washed without any soap. The same we can say for the room: bed-sheet didn't look tidy and soon start smelling.... more

We stayed at the Villa Flamboyant in July and I would like to warn others not to stay here. The rooms were not nice, tiny ants in the sink and all over the towels and a musty smell. The beach was tiny and full of seaweed, you cannot sunbathe or swim here. The food was the most disgusting food we... more

I have just returned to Ireland after a wonderful three week visit to the astonishingly beautiful Seychelles island of Praslin. I am happy that I chose to stay at Villa Flamboyant for the duration, where I experienced the most wonderful Creole hospitality from Rosemary Cobian and her staff. Each part of Praslin has its own special character and beauty and... more

I spent 4 nights at Villa Flamboyant in Praslin, Seychelles Islands. The guest house is in an isolated area of the island, you MUST rent a car if you don't want to remain only on the beach of the guest house and have all the dinner and lunches there, that you must pay in Euro or Dollars (23 Euros for... more
