Coco de Mer Hotel and Black Parrot Suites

We visited on our honeymoon and had a wonderful stay. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and we felt like they really went out of their way to ensure guests have an enjoyable stay. We also loved the food at the hotel, particularly the breakfasts, and also the complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits offered every afternoon which we thought was a lovely touch. The sunsets from the pontoon are also fantastic! At the time we visited (in early September) this part of the island was very windy and unfortunately it was not possible to use the hotel's beach or swim in the ocean, however I imagine this would be lovely at other times of year. I would also recommend hiring a car if possible, because there is not much within walking distance of the hotel - however many places are just an easy drive away. Thank you very much for a lovely stay!

The location is amazing. The staff was 5 stars, professional, kind and always there to assist. Despite the size of the hotel, you get the feeling of a family hotel. Everyone greets you with a smile and is very attentive to the guests needs. To me that is the most important part. We were so pleased that we ended up staying longer than planned. The danger is that you won't want to leave! The facilities were also superb, from the room, to the pools, the beach, the watersports, the excursions. Everything was amazing.

We visited Praslin to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary, and our stay at Coco de Mer and Black Parrot Suites made it truly unforgettable. The staff went above and beyond to make our celebration special, surprising us with a beautifully crafted cake and a heartfelt, handmade card. It’s these personal touches that made our trip so memorable—thank you to the entire team! What truly sets this hotel apart is its outstanding staff. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Ahmed, who greeted us with a refreshing welcome drink and thoroughly explained the many complimentary activities available during our stay. His attention to detail and genuine hospitality made us feel right at home. I highly recommend opting for the half-board option during your stay. First, the food is absolutely incredible—delicious, varied, and full of local flavors. Second, the hotel is somewhat secluded, and navigating Praslin in the evening can be a bit challenging due to the narrow, unlit roads. Having dinner at the hotel is not only convenient but also a culinary delight. One pleasant surprise was that the drink prices at the hotel were quite reasonable compared to other places in the Seychelles, and the variety of beverages was impressive. Special thanks to Ajay, who took care of us at every meal. His friendly conversations, helpful suggestions about the island, and thoughtful attention to our preferences made each dining experience a pleasure. I also want to acknowledge the rest of the dinner staff, who were equally welcoming, although I regret not remembering all their names. Anura and Nirakar at the Mango Bar also deserve a mention for their attentiveness during our visits. A unique highlight of our stay was feeding an eel in the hotel’s natural stream—a truly amazing experience made possible by Raien, one of the chefs, who kindly guided us through this.

This was our second time at Coco de Mer, and we'll definitely be back next time we come to the Seychelles! Most of the staff were the friendliest people we met in all of Seychelles during our 3,5 week stay. They went above and beyond to help (especially Harry!!), and were always happy and smiling, polite and kind. They were so attentive to our 11 month old baby as well, and he loved all the attention! Our room was great, the premises were great. Unfortunately we had pretty terrible weather, and there were a LOT of seaweeds on the beach and in the ocean, however this is not exactly something the hotel can control - just our bad luck.

We had half board (breakfast & dinner) and the food was very delicious, diverse and fresh. We had different food options every day. The view and location of the hotel were amazing. Also liked the rooms how they were decorated and how well maintained and cleaned. Staff were very helpful and kind. The beach was very clean and had chance to see many fishes with snorkel & mask.
