Overall Ratings & Reviews Pied Dans L’eau Holiday Apartments

Wow wow wow!! This place exceeded our expectations! The staff is friendly and helped us on eateries to try. Location is excellent and everything you can think of is in the apartment! It also has a lovely beach and we enjoyed the kayaking. Thank you for a memorable stay!

This was the most amazing place located on one of the most beautiful beaches. The staff were so friendly, nice, and helpful. The rooms were spectacular, spacious, and clean. It had a nice kitchen and deck that overlooked the ocean. I could go to sleep at night listening to the waves. It felt so safe too with a gate that protected our car and next to a police station. It was walking distance to the nearby grocery store and restaurants. I really had amazing memories here! Thank you!!

We stayed in the main building and it was excellent being on the beach. Rooms are super huge but only the bedroom had AC. Went in February, was super hot. The ability to cook your own food if needed was fantastic. Will stay again

Lovely stay on the south east of Seychelles. The hotel is set right on the beach of Anse Royale. Lovely beach and nice calm water for swimming. Beautiful apartment with plenty of space. Great air conditioning in the main living area and bedroom. The view of the beach is obstructed by large trees for most of the rooms. Very friendly and helpful staff. Quite a busy area with locals as opposite the Hospital and University which gives it a more local flavour . People were very friendly.

Excellent location. Staff friendly and willing to help if there is a need.

Nice place.Very good host. There is no CCTV in hotel or other safety items.

Easy to mix with the locals, great food, interesting and friendly fellow guests

We booked a two bed family apartment "beachside", so were initially quite disappointed to find this was located down a lane about a 100 yards from the sea (..not to cause alarm, the main hotel is on the sea). BUT...the apartment was newish, spacious and clean; had every conceivable extra provided; had great wifi; and was located in lovely gardens. Anse Royale is a bustling little community with a few shops, well placed to tour the south of Mahe (hire car is recommended). The beach is great and, compared to Beau Vallon, virtually deserted!

Very nice and beautiful place.

Found this place through reviews on another website. So glad I trusted their reviews. Our corner sea facing one bedroom apartment was very large, clean, and property was right on beach. Some trees protect from being fully exposed to beach goers. Patio provided perfect place to have a few drinks and listen to the ocean when the kids fell asleep. The on-site restaurant was delicious, including morning breakfast (included with room). This is in a local place so does not have a touristy vibe. We liked that. The beach is a good beach for kids with coral and rocks further away from coastline so less likely to step on urchins. Location is perfect for exploring south Mahe. After seeing rest of island I am convinced this is the best place for value on island if you like smaller, non-touristy experiences. Also makes me feel good that my money helps this company protect local dolphin populations and other conservation projects.

This is a new property. We enjoyed our stay in a two bedroom apartment that was well equipped. Very clean and kids friendly. We enjoyed the free kayak trips.

Absolutely loved this appart/hotel. Warm welcome, with a fruit juice and smile. The room (Aldabra) was spacious and the kitchen well equipped. You could walk straight onto the beach 10m away. Fabulous beach that goes on for miles and even on a Sunday, when lots of locals head there, it is fairly quiet. The food in the restaurant was excellent and good value for the Seychelles, where eating out is very expensive. We went on Saturday night and thoroughly enjoyed the live music entertainment. Local food shops across the food, and fresh fruit, fish and vegetables 100m away meant self catering was easy. The room was serviced every day and left spotless. I would definitely recommend Peids dans l'eau.

The pictures of this hotel don't do it justice. It is really lovely, and right on the beach. Our room was on the first floor, so we could walk right out our patio door onto the beach. Amazing view. The beach is lovely and the water is totally clear here. There were no peddlers on the beach trying to sell anything. The room was very spacious and kid-friendly, the beds comfortable. There was an air conditioner in the bedroom, but not one in the living area, which is the only thing I would change. There is a ceiling fan, so it didn't get too warm. We loved the staff- they are incredibly nice and helpful. We rented a car at the airport and they gave us directions to the hotel, which wasn't hard to find. The roads are very narrow and steep, so in retrospect, we probably would not have rented a car had we known how stressful the driving was. The restaurant attached served great food and we found the prices reasonable. We enjoyed everything we tried- especially the famous banana jam. I cooked one night in our room with food purchased right across the street. We didn't find anything overly expensive, except the cab rates to get to the hotel. Really enjoyed our time there and would definitely recommend this hotel.

Our stay was amazing. The staff were very hepful, keeping the room clean and supporting us with our requests. They were discreet. The rooms were spacious and airy. The internet was not so good, so it may be improved. Loved the quiet nights, sitting under the stars on the beach or on the terrace. very, very secure. It was a restful time. Should I visit Mahe again, I would certainly stay there. The tiger prawns were my favorite meal...

When we walked into our room for the first time, we were overwhelmed with the ambiance and the views of the ocean. The beach was right outside our back donor, so we started the day by swimming, kayaking, and in the evening by walking on the beach. Be sure not to miss their Sunday Buffet. The staff was helpful, and fun.

Had a great stay. Friendly and helpful staff. Conveniently situated in a little village.

Wonderful little place right on a gorgeous beach with great snorkeling and swimming. A good beach for kids with calm water. We stayed in the "Farquar" apartment and it was more spacious than expected. Very comfortable for 2 adults and 2 kids. If you are looking for a smaller self catering accommodation rather than a large resort, this is a great choice. Small shops with groceries right across the street. The street is a bit noisy but it didn't overly bother us. As others have said it gives you some taste of the local culture. We only ate breakfast at the restaurant, which was delicious but pricey as all meals were in the Seychelles. Our only complaint about the room was poor water pressure and temperature control in the shower, but it was a minor issue and did not affect our experience. The rooms were spotlessly cleaned everyday. Very comfortable to come home to after a long day in the sun.

The hotel is in great location, the apartments are big, clean and well equipped, the staff is very nice and the owner is wonderful. the only thing I can think of that the internet is very very slow (if this is important to you). In overall a great stay for great price.

We had an excellent 3 night stay here. The rooms are very nice and well kept, the location is great and the staff was wonderful!

The wi-fi signal could be better in the rooms. The beach is amazing. Breakfasts are "cute" and nice. Staff more than friendly. :)
