Overall Ratings & Reviews Acajou Beach Resort

You arrive as a guest ,you leave as a friend Having just spent a week at the Hotel Acajou Beach resort and I have to say Joanise and her team really go out of their way to make their guests feel special . Set on the beautiful Cote D’or beach every little finishing touch has been thought of , but what makes it extra special are the friendly ,hard working staff. The food courtesy of chef Indika and his team was always a delight and as well as tasting delicious was presented beautifully. As I previously said all the staff were absolutely first class with nothing ever too much trouble but a special mention has to go to Andrew, Indika and most of all Suresh whose smile is almost as bright as the sunshine and is one of the most pleasant ,happy, and helpful people I have ever met. The rooms were very clean and equipped with everything you need and also a super efficient air conditioning . There was never a problem getting a sun bed either at the pool or at the beach ( although little side tables at the beach would be nice ) Would I stay here again ? In a heartbeat .

The overall stay was fine and pleasant. The property and room was clean, though a little patchwork was visible on the walls. The spa and massage was very nice. The staff was friendly but had some weird policies like not giving water except on the first day of stay, so had to buy water, which is normally expected from a hotel to be provided. The pool was okay, not exactly infinity but serviceable. There were not many beach view apartments which was a bummer, but the balconies and surrounding nature made up for it. The attached beach felt private and clean. Please go in expecting an apartment instead of a standard resort room with an in-room kitchen and utensils, and you'll be fine. I won't call it value for money because despite paying a lot of money, breakfast was not included in our stay, but the overall standard was nice and warm.

Property was clean and the staff were welcoming . Creole buffet/ barbecue and breakfast were also good

Lovely hotel, excellent room, beautiful beach (we thought best on the island) and extremely helpful staff

Good value for the money. Food was good, ample selection and decent quality

This hotel is very well managed and everything seems so very local. It took us about 20 minutes or so to reach the hotel from the Ferry terminal using a cab. Although one could book a fairly good car at the ferry terminal, we chose not to on the first day but in hindsight this may be the better option instead of spending on a cab as car rentals are very inexpensive on the island. The check-in process was very smooth and they gave us a welcome drink and a wet towel to freshen up. As the room was not ready, they gave us help with the location and explained what we could potentially do. There is a small village nearby (about 10 minutes walk away either on the road or on the beach) where there are shops (most essential to buy a SIM card) and other restaurants. The local PADI dive centre is in that village too. There is a food truck which sells some good local food and a fruit vendor where one can have cooonut water and other exotic fruits. The room was ready by the time we got back and it was a great room with a view of and direct access to the beach and ocean. The beach is great for long walks at any time of day or night. Breakfast was really superb with a wide selection of all sorts of local/western cuisine and the bar and restaurant served some really good local delicacies for lunch/dinner like Octopus curry (best on the island) and mixed vegetable curry. All the staff were very friendly and the hotel is very well managed.

The hotel is set on a gorgeous beach (although you may get very itchy from sand fly bites if you happen to be allergic to them). The breakfast and dinner buffets are very good (and dinner ones are varied), the spa is totally excellent and is reasonably priced (although open until 6 pm only). Rooms may not be luxurious but are spacious and perfectly functional with kitchen facilities. A dive center is walking distance down the beach.

While its a nice hotel, close to the beach with a decent pool, its very over priced and not worth it at all. At this rate you could book several fancier options.

Well positions close to beach and amenities on Cote D'or. The hotel was excellent, very clean with a good pool and friendly staff. We stayed in an apartment in the hotel grounds. The bed was very comfortable but the seating area in the lounge was very uncomfortable as were the breakfast bar stool. The kitchen was well appointed with a big fridge and new cooker but lacked a lot of the basic equipment you would expect.

Beautiful resort and rooms. Welcoming staff who all willingly go out of their way to ensure your comfort and convenience. Gorgeous Beach particularly at low tide. Tasty food at the beach side bar/restaurant. ATM and bus stop a short walk away. Wifi in room. We had to check out early despite a late departure and the hotel was more than accommodating with a room to shower and luggage storage. The only thing I can really criticize is that the dinner buffet was ok ( perfectly good but nothing memorable). Overall I would look forward to returning to Acajou on my next trip to Praslin!

Jewel of a hotel, located on Cote D'Or - one of the best beach stretches on Praslin. The hotel and rooms are well equipped and can handle your every request. The breakfast (especially eggs to order) are fantastic. The main manager was very very helpful. We asked her only once for organising cars/ excursion and though there was no availability, she made a couple of calls and made sure she helped out. The other junior ladies would do well to follow her lead in customer delight. There are good restaurants at 10-15 minute walking distance. Bai saint Anne (so called downtown and ferry terminal) is 10 minutes away. Anse lazio/ Valle de mai both equi distance from Acajou. So actually this is the best location to stay on the island. The gardens are beautiful and you will wake up to birds chirping....

Very helpful staff, excellent rooms, good time off from worldly hassles!

Large rooms, cleaned daily. Good breakfast. Helpful reception. Great Diving centre (Octopus Diving) at the other end of the beach and they will collect you from your hotel in a morning. We only ate dinner in the hotel on BBQ night and it was very good. Drinks are expensive as they appear to be on the whole island. Sand flys are a problem, my husband was bitten a lot , but that wasn't hotels fault he could have got them anywhere. Nice pool and pool bar. You have the beach to yourself, very safe to swim. A great week.

Nice beach, nice staff, I would probably want something nicer for the price next time

Hôtel au calme situé dans un jardin tropicale. Grande plage de sable blanc isolée au pied de l'hôtel. Dommage qu'il y ai quelques algues mais c'est naturel. Chambre parfaite et propre. Prendre la demi pension (dîner) est plus que nécessaire. Petit déjeuner et dîner sous forme de très bon buffet. Belle piscine à débordement. Wifi pas très performant. Si vous prenez une voiture de location attention. Conduite à gauche et route très étroite, mais c'est jouable si vous êtes prudent.

Trevligt mottagande. Rummet hade en fantastisk utsikt mot havet. Placeringen av hotellet vid stranden var fantastiskt . Supertrevlig personal. Åt buffén några kvällar men var inget speciellt . Hotellet var rätt slitet men skulle tydligen renoveras. Tycker att priset var väldigt högt för standarden.

A wonderful place to stay in Praslin

Les buffets à themes différents tous les soirs est une excellente idée. La plage de l hôtel est tout simplement magnifique.

En av de bästa vistelserna någonsin. hotellet hade en väldigt positiv dynamik, alla var bra och roliga. Maten var outstanding. Beach nära med bekväma solstolar.

Super sejour a l Acajou. Tres bel hotel, le jardin est superbe et tres bien entretenu. Les chambres sont agreables. Petit dejeuner tres copieux et varie, un regal. Service de massage tres bien. Personnel tres agreable. Seul Bemol le WIFI qui fonctionne vraiment tres tres mal
