The room was good, clean and the hotel is overall nice.
The beach is amazing, just a. Minute from it our room, also the beach activities are available free of charge..
Beach is very Big, Calm with white sand and turquoise water...
Staff were amazing especially Christopher and the management were amazing especially Veronica.. Food breakfast is a la carte however u can choose all the menue.. Overall was acceptable however if they were changing the daily buffet options that would be a plus..
During our check out we were waiting7 am for the breakfast to eat something before we travel but the waiter told us that the restaurant will not be ready till 8 am which was quite disappointing...

It is a long, white sand beach with beautifully blue clean water - the cliche confirm many tall palm trees. It is practically empty nowadays. The water is clean, no stones or algue. There are almost no waves as it is a small bay - no sellers, jet skis or boats. Just bring your drinks and umbrella and enjoy !

We went 2 times here during our 14 days stay at Praslin Island. The first time was in the morning with low tide and the next time was in early afternoon with high tide. Must be seen and perfect for swimming - we have no kids (grown up) but we recommend this beach for small ones. The sand is almost like golden dust. A dream

The 1st beach we visited: long shoreline, calm and without too many waves, water temperature is good, and the water is clean.
You can take cruises from the beach, and you can find a few restaurants/bars along the shoreline.
You can also find your corner between the tries and relax.

Beautiful beach with crystal clear water and white sand. Now during Covid-19, it's completely deserted, so chances are you will have the beach for yourself. No dangerous currents or waves like in other parts of the island, ideal for swimming.
Be aware of sand flies though. We got bitten by a swarm of them, ruined the last part of our vacation.

Truly one of the best beaches in the world. Water was nice and calm and the weather was amazing. The tide was nice and calm to be able to swim and it was not crowded at all. You could have a whole section of the beach to yourself. Fishermen came in with the day's catch and were selling it at a stall nearby. Amazing.

Icing sugar type sand. Beautiful clear turquoise water. Simply amazing and super long beach with no one on it. We had miles of beach to ourselves. You can't miss it it is on the way to Anse Lazio.

Pay attention to the beach by called Roger, promised a BBQ on the beach, then disappeared,I got his picture if needed. Then promised to give us money back but no facts, we went to the police and they succeeded to give us back half of money. Everybody knows him and everybody criticize him, but at the end they support each other. Try not to give money in advance, but it's difficult because they have a sort of coalition making same prices and same way of business. I got his picture if needed.

Beaches in Praslin has lots of seaweeds. The best beaches on Seychelles is on La Digue island. We stay in a resort which is three minutes walk to Cote d'Or beach, in fact, we haven't swum here.
Cote d'Or has a wide sandy beach with lots of seaweeds. But it is a lovely place for a walk and to watch a sunset in the afternoon. You can do an endless walk on the beach, and if you go inland you'll arrive at the center of Praslin, there loads of shops and restaurants.
Walking at Cote d'Or beach, you'll approach by a guy selling tours. Don't be a fool booking a trip from him. Our hotel host warned us about him! Be aware!

Bonjour, Je crois avoir compris votre question...Si vous parlez des algues du nom de "Sargasses". Non, il n'y en pas sur la Côte d'Or de Praslin.

I am planning a trip to Seychelles in July or August 2017 and am thinking about staying at the Cote d'Or. We are travelling with a baby and want to stay close to a nice beach. I know that there is a previous questions about whether or not there is seaweed on Cote d'Or during this period. The only answer says that there is none. However, when looking at photos people posted it seems like there can be a lot of seaweed during July and August. Now I don't know what to think. My questions are.
1. Is there seaweed on the beach during this period?
2. Is there a problem with stingrays? This is of particular concern since we are travelling with a baby.
3. I have read that it is more windy during this period of the year. Are we talking about serious wind or just a pleasant breeze? Will there be waves or is the water calm?
4. On photos there seems to be no lounge chairs or umbrellas? How can we protect ourselves and the baby from the sun? Can you rent an umbrella somewhere?
5. What area of the beach is best to stay? We are primarily concerned with the beach being as beautiful as possible and easy access to the water.

As far as I know there is no living coral arpund Praslin. But you can see som fish at the rocks. St Piere might be a better option for snorkling and seeing fish (so no coral). We were warned for stingray near the beach, but we didn,t see any during our one week stay in march. Some seeweed around this period, but beach is kept clean by hotels.
