Coco de Mer Hotel and Black Parrot

We had the most relaxing time here. The property is simply stunning. When we arrived we decided we’d like to upgrade to the Black Parrot Suites as we were staying for our honeymoon, we thought why not make it more special. The staff were very kind to show us around the suites before making the decision and let us pick between two rooms. We got a discounted rate and felt it was well worth the extra. The suites are a private area of the property where you have a separate pool and bar. The rooms were amazing with a spacious balcony spanning the most spectacular view of the mountains and ocean. We loved watching the sunset here every evening. We enjoyed the bath and the outdoor shower was a treat. The rooms were modern and spotlessly cleaned every day. We had access to the facilities at Coco de Mer and enjoyed the infinity pool and lunch & cocktails at Mango Bar, which we found very reasonably and fairly priced compared to prices in Mahé. We had half board, so had the breakfast and dinner buffet included in our rate. Breakfast was really tasty and varied every day, the freshly made omelettes were wonderful. The dinner was varied every night too. Staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. We enjoyed the live music on Friday night, it created a lovely atmosphere. We didn’t venture out too much as this was the relaxing part of our honeymoon in the Seychelles. We did go to Anse Lazio which is a 30 minute drive from the hotel. We had a rental car, but the hotel runs a regular shuttle to the beach free of charge. We also did the Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve which is only 10 minutes up the road. We enjoyed our tour here. The hotel offers free stand up paddle boarding and water sports. We rented snorkel equipment from them to take to Anse Lazio with us. It’s in a quieter area of the island but we loved this. You wouldn’t need to venture far as the hotel has everything you need.

This was our second stay in the Black Parrot Suites after our honeymoon 22 years ago!!! From our contact prior to arrival to our leaving for home we were made to feel so special. A lovely welcome from Fiona who showed us to our suite and was there at our previous stay. We also had a welcome bottle of champagne!!! We again took advantage of the free bus transfer to the beautiful Anse Lazio Beach which has changed a lot since our last visit. We also took the three island trip and the day trip to La Digue which again didn't disappoint. The hotel and suites have been completely refurbished to a modern fresh standard with everything you needed in the room. They were cleaned daily and we had a turn down service in the evening. The buffet was incredible with a good variety to suite everyone's needs. Bar food and drinks were very reasonably priced. The staff made you feel so welcome throughout and couldn't do enough for us. The atmosphere was very relaxed and extremely quiet, ideal for a romantic getaway. We renewed our wedding vows whilst there and didn't disappoint. Philip made sure everything was planned during our briefing upon arrival. My hair was done by Anne from the spa and she also helped with my make up and dressing. Photographs done which we have to look back on. We were both made to feel so special on the day. Thank you so much for our stay and would highly recommend this resort either for a special holiday or as your wedding venue!!!

We spent 4 nights in this beautiful hotel in Praslin. We had a junior studio suite at Black Parrot, which is part of the hotel located on a hill overlooking the sea. It is about a 5-minute walk to the lobby where check-in is done, and where the pool, dock, bar, and restaurant are located. There is parking available, and in the Black Parrot area, there is also a terrace and a small pool. The place is beautiful, very quiet, but a car is required to reach all the famous beaches and the dock; the island is not that small and has hills, slopes, and narrow roads, which gives it a particular charm. We dined several nights at the restaurant that had both a la carte and buffet options; I recommend the buffet more. There are no other restaurants nearby, but since we were at the beaches all day, it was perfect not to go out and have dinner at the hotel with excellent service. The rooms are large, modern, and well-decorated with everything that a high-end hotel offers. The dock is very nice with the white awning, and you can see the sunset. It has its own beaches, but there were many seaweeds, and there are many infinitely more beautiful beaches, so we did not spend the beach day at the hotel. I absolutely recommend it!
