Acajou Beach Resort

Acajou is a great hotel! Very clean rooms with cozy interior. Nice green territory with good swimming pool and access to the sea shore. There are several restaurants in the hotel with delicious food and pleasant service. Buffet breakfast is very tasty. The staff shows great hospitality, especially we would like to mark the work of Eranda, Aruna and Amila. These guys do outstanding job! It was very nice to have friendly conversations with them. Amila always was attentive and gave special service. We definitely can recommend Acajou hotel and truly hope we will come back one day. Thank you!

The ladies on the reception ar very helpful. The Room is perfekt. Acajou Poolbar Dilhan and Kuruppu Nice Cocktail and good Service. It's a beautifull Beach direkt on the hotel. The Service in the Restaurant is very good.

We stayed last week at Acajou Resort Hotel and we were very satisfied. My aunt already stayed at Acajou few years ago and recommended it. Perfect location to explore the Island by car or bus. The property is well maintained and very green with lush vegetation. It is located directly on the beach. The sea was a bit rough during our stay but the swimming pool with plenty of space and many beach chairs was a perfect way to relax, too. We stayed in the front part of the resort (yellow buildings which looked more recent) in a superior room which had a large size and was comfortable (from our understanding, standard rooms seem to be in wooden-style buildings which looked older). The breakfast and dinner buffets were both very good and fresh and we had the opportunity to greet the Cook everyday. The staff was very professional, always smiling and greeting guests and always eager to help for a perfect stay. On Tuesday, we had the opportunity to attend the General Manager’s party at the pool bar with Seychelles music and a dance show. It was a great way to socialize with other guests in a relaxed atmosphere. During our stay a gifted local musician also played music hits with a Seychelles flavor during dinners. I highly recommend this hotel. It is a family managed hotel and you can feel the difference !

I was in Acajou in this year and I liked it very much. Unfortunately few staff members was much nicer with alone women guests. This made me feel scared an unsecure, because in last year my Mother was also insulted by a member of Acajou, when she stayed on the Island, and like she said, this happened to other women also.. Fortunately that member was not there during my stay. I think, such a nice hotel should not allow such behaviour.

Acajou Beach Resort is Special in just so many ways. It is known as "Praslin's Green Hotel. " Passionate Nature lovers will be delighted to hear that there are numerous eco-friendly practices in place. Acajou is owned and managed by a charming Seychellois family whose patriotism and love for their Island nation is contagious. This stunning 4 Star Gem is a haven of peace and tranquility. Acajou grows on you! You will feel you never want to leave, but when you do, you will be richer by the wonderful new friends you have made there. Acajou welcomes young and old. It's a safe haven for solo travellers. What a thrill it was for us to return in February  for our 7th visit. It was heartwarming to see a comfortably full hotel and the joy on the faces of families being welcomed back after all the uncertainty of COVID lockdown and travel restrictions.  My husband is 94 and we live in Cape Town, South Africa  yet nothing will deter him from taking 3 plane trips each way, to enjoy a dream holiday at Acajou which has a very special place in our hearts and which we have come to regard as our Home from Home on Praslin. The hotel is blessed to be positioned on the beachfront on Côte d'Or, a glorious 3 km stretch of beach, regarded by many visitors as one of Praslin's most beautiful beaches. Acajou is built close to the sparkling turquoise waves that lap the dazzling white, powdery sand.From early in the morning it was a joy to watch from our balcony as pre breakfast swimmers bobbed in the gentle waves enjoying the blissful  28 deg.sea temperature. Get fit enthusiasts jogged along the 3km stretch and dog walkers let their boisterous dogs prance in the waves and chase the bubbles as they broke on the glistening sand. After a blissful stay at Acajou Beach Resort you will soon discover why it's very hard to tear yourself away.  At this tranquil little beachfront Gem you will be welcomed warmly and cared for throughout your stay by some of the kindest and most hospitable hotel staff you will ever encounter. The General Manager, Ms Joanise Doway, is elegant and charming.She is loved and respected by her staff of 70+  because she is a Hands On GM who leads by example. Several staff made a point of telling us how they had been supported and cared for during Lockdown. We were impressed by their enthusiasm and fine work ethos. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble. They remained cheerful and went the extra mile to please their guests. Many of the staff made a point of learning our names which made us feel very special. We loved the way in which the staff complement represented a number of nations yet they all worked together harmoniously. Ms Doway's sister, Barbara, plays a key rôle in the hotel and her brother, Mr Claude, is a master photographer and has been the overseer of charming beachfront weddings. Folk from all over the world love the idyllic beach front setting and the fine culinary experience offered to their guests.The glorious Seychelles sunsets and

Our only remark is that Wifi connection is very poor or unexistent. The "solution" provided by the staff was not working at all. I think the hotel should either improve this or not offer wifi at all.

The food was delicious, tasty, good vibes, had to ask for extra rice for my curry, but no fuss, the chicken and chips needed a bit more chicken. Great bar service and amazing margaritas. It's a nice location, able to walkin without prebooking.
