The Islander Hotel

After arriving and paying for 5 nights we were shown a stinky bungalow where shortly we found several cockroaches in the bed and bathroom on the same day. Owners claimed this is normal as we came to Seychelles so we should have "expected cockroaches are here". They said we can resign but they will not return our money and that we will find cockroaches in all next hotels as well so no point. We resigned and never slept in this nightmare place, and they never returned us money saying we can publish pictures and videos of cockroaches and they do not care. This shows 620 Euro is more important for them than avoiding this review you are reading which says a lot about these people. Also they said we should know that having light on in the room and open windows are reasons why cockroaches visited our bed. I asked how on earth that could be prevented as there is no glass in the windows or doors of the bungalows so you can not close the place to prevent insects and lizards from entering. In fact you can easily put your all fingers through each window and the doors. They had no idea how to respond to this argument and said we should not use light in the room when it is dark outside (if you like siting in dark after 6pm this may help) ! At some point they said we must have put these cockroaches ourselves into the bed and bathroom on purpose and made a video of them as we did not like their place and wanted to get our money back this way as other guests they had in the past (I have a recording of this surreal conversation). We never got our money back for these 5 days we have not spent there and we had to pay again for the next hotel (obviously not a single cockroach there). They obviously lied to us saying each hotel will have cockroaches trying to manipulate us into staying at their place which would ruin our holidays. Avoid this place and their owners at all costs!

Un endroit reposant avec en guise d'apéritif le coucher de soleil. Le bungalow (certains son entièrement rénovés, les autres le seront au fur et à mesure) est fonctionnel et équipé pour ceux qui souhaitent rester indépendant. Petit déjeuner copieux, et pour ceux qui se lèvent tôt pensez à demander le plateau petit déjeuner la veille. Pour le diner le restaurant Le Capricorne propose une cuisine créole. Possibilité de louer une voiture sur place. Au final un endroit agréable comme point de départ pour découvrir l'île de Praslin.
