Cote d'Or Lodge

This place has the makings of being a really nice place to stay, however misses the bar in several ways. The wifi is terrible and expensive. Even after paying the high rate, it was unusable. I get connectivity can be difficult on Praslin, maybe not charging for substandard things would be a good choice. The restaurant charged double for drinks compared to what was available in town, and didn't include anything without charging, including water. ($9 USD for a bottle of water is crazy) We ended up walking to the mini-mart nearby and stocking up on gallons of water we kept in our room. We did the same with beer & wine. The food was average, after a few meals we were no longer interested in their offerings and found interesting places to eat instead. The grounds were kept clean, except for the beach. To go beyond average, they should clean the beach daily. It's would not be a huge effort to rake it clean when the tide is low. Other hotels along the same beach did a much better job in this, noted as we walked it one day. The staff was indifferent on the issues, but the worst experience with them was the checkout, in which they insisted we pay the Seychelles taxes in cash. This wouldn't be an issue if they had an ATM on site instead of being a 40 minute round trip walk on a busy road. They made no attempts to solve this self-imposed problem. Being an average hotel is one thing, being an average hotel in the Seychelles is another. It's an expensive trip, the last thing travelers want is to be nickel and dimed at their lodging. I wouldn't say don't stay here, but I would say lower your expectations if you do.

It is a really nice hotel on the beach . It's all very clean and the staff are nice. We had half board. Breakfast was rather boring but ok. Dinner was really delicious (lots of Italian cuisine) . The hotel was very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The staff were very helpful and helpful. The somewhat boring breakfast with not-so-good coffee and the extra cost for Wi-Fi are the reason for four and not five stars

Given that the islands are a dream and that the beach where the hotel is located is wonderful, the holiday would not have been perfect if it were not for the structure that in its simplicity has everything you can look for in a hotel structured in bungalows on the beach, managed by a perfect owner like Maurizio who is always present, but never intrusive, and led by a very friendly and prepared staff, ready to meet every request in a short time. Fabulous food and always varied. You can not ask for more, we left the heart!!! And in fact we will be back in February!!!!!

Come to 8 with family, we spent an idyllic stay at the Gold Coast lodge. If it weren't for a few minor inconveniences (false contact with the hairdryer, no TV, pay wifi, door that scrapes the floor), this hotel would deserve5 stars. Directly on a heavenly beach with lovely bungalows, a superb pool, not too close to the road, with charming and attentive staff. On the last day, we were given a room for free because the plane was leaving at 9:30 p.m. In short, everything is beautiful and the beach sublime. Thank you to the manager and all the staff.

Fantastic location, Maurizio (the director) and 'attentive to everything in particular care the kitchen as few or no one can do, I would return to this property also because it is positioned on a beautiful stretch of beach.
