Excellent Rooms and Service!
Loved this hotel! Was greeted at the front desk by the lovely receptionist and staff members. They welcomed us to paradise at the Paradise Sun Hotel. Service here was incredible!! Staff at this hotel were friendly, kind, able to make us feel welcomed and helpful. The room was spectacular, large, able to see the ocean from our front porch and very clean & tidy. Food here is definitely delicious!! Every evening for dinner is a different theme night for their buffet. Lots of delicious food. Waiters and Waitresses were lovely and gave excellent service! Receptionists were friendly, helpful and really enjoyed talking with them. There was not much of a beach while we were there. During the Spring season, the tide was a high, so there was not really a beach to walk on. Only able to walk on the beach at certain times. But the view of the ocean and other island was spectacular!! I would definitely recommend this hotel to family and friends. We are already planning our next trip to stay at this hotel again!

Tucked away at the end of the bay, this is a slick run operation with excellent food. Activities and live music, great options for adventures in the surrounding areas - it's all you need for a special Seychelles vacation. Thank you paradise sun!

Regret...
Compre to other hotels what we paid and what we got this hotel totally disappointed me. First of all, no welcome with smile on the face even though our honeymoon. Better talk to robot. No pick up service ,Dirty shower screen, no water for shower had to stand to wait with soap on whole bady, wifi often discounted, not enough beach towel, many times kayaks were not available, activity tools broken or missing part. No infomation for what kind of theme dinner. Wait for concierge for 10 min even though they know what time i check out. This hotel old but im not complain about small room, small pool or old style. Just not good enough customer service. I dont know how people pay that amount to get these service and gave them 10 out of 10??? I would not recommend this hotel. Pay more and stay the best one praslin or stay smilar level hotel on other island.

Nice hotel with very attentive staff
Great location with an amazing beach! Staff is really really nice and attentive. The food is good, with decent amount of local dishes! We especially enjoyed the local fruit! Only a couple of suggestions for the management: - put the sunbed pillows away in the night so they will be dry in the morning - have some simple printed news in the morning to go along with the breakfast. Seen this in couple of hotels in Seycheless and its a nice feature. - as far as food, perhaps a bit more vegetarian options wouldnt hurt, and some rustic whole-grain bread, especially in the morning

3 star hotel, 5 star price.
Paradise Sun is a decent resort but as all hotels in this area, it is very expensive. The resort is next to a nice beach, and does include ½ board. Rooms are okay – not luxurious - more of an average hotel. The resort website does a great job of hiding the fact that most of the cottage style rooms are actually four-plexes. They show two rooms side by side in a bungalow style, but our room we had noisy upstairs neighbors and the rooms are not sound proofed. Most of the resort rooms are like this. We had a small deck, but the room was far away from the ocean so we mostly spent time on the provided beach chairs when it wasn’t pouring rain. The “included” activities were worthless. The snorkel tour has a 400 rupee surcharge, supposedly for park fees, and we weren’t told that we needed to pay cash upon our return from the trip – we signed up with our room numbers and thought they would just charge our room. I thought the guy was going to break my knee caps to get payment from us since we didn’t bring rupees with us. Very poor and we only got to snorkel for ½ hour. We took a private snorkel tour for 800 rupee pp for the whole day, the boat took us to two islands and we snorkeled for hours. Plus, the park fees are only 200 – so it’s a total snare that the fee was just to cover that. They should just charge 500 rupee to your room. Skip it. The free sunset cruise was so overcrowded that my poor father was smushed onto a bench meant for two or three people with four people. Miserable

Nice resort and very kind staff. I would recommend it, as it allows to get a good compromise between comfort, nice beaches and costs. My only suggestions worldwide be to add some mosquitos protections on beds (as in many other similar places around the world) and bit more variety in the dinner menues. But these are details, the overall rating si very good.

Lovely hotel on a beautiful beach
Hotel is on a fantastic beach. The staff are wonderfully unobtrusive. We had ground level bungalow that was perfect for our young family. The room was very well appointed. Not your typically carbon copy hotel room. Lots of wood...a real "islandy" feel. The food breakfast and dinner buffets were above average for a resort buffet. The chefs and waiters were very cheerful and helpful. Babysitter was one of the housekeeping staff who was very lovely. You must go to Anse Lazio Beach (in the morning) which is close by and to Le Digue is you stay here.

Paradise
This hotel is very well situated with many amenities and restaurants close by. Although, the food is quite good at Paradise and cheaper than the surrounding restaurants. The grounds are very well maintained and most importantly the staff could not be more accommodating specifically with our 1.5 year old. This was a pleasant surprise as our previous visit to a 5 star in Seychelles (Mahe) was somewhat ruined by the unfriendly staff. The rooms are bungalow style side by sides or quad 2 storey complexes. Ours was the smaller room, but still very accommodating and clean. Walking south down the very nice beach, you will notes a parallel road where you will find shops to get any additional goods and even gelato. Excursions to the surrounding islands are easily booked by walking south down the beach and striking a deal with the local guides.

Beach Front bungalows, perfect for divers, family
We stayed at Paradise Sun Hotel for a week in early June. Room was very nice, amazing showers. We have 2 small children so the staff moved us to a ground floor room on request and were very helpful throughout our stay. I had a low expectation for the food, but it actually offered a lot of variety. Drinks are on the expensive side. Beach is great for kids as the waves are small and water shallow. If you are a diver this is a great place as the diving company is located just off the hotel property. Would definitely recommend to all my friends.

Great Experience
We stayed at Paradise Sun for a week in November of 2015. We were treated well with friendly staff. The room was nice and close to the beach. It was very quiet and the service and staff were both very good. The food was good with some nights better than others. I cannot think of anything that would need to be changed in my opinion. We would definitely stay there again. Special thanks to the Hotel General Manager and Samantha. There was also a very friendly smiling younger gentleman in the dining area at night I don't recall his name but he made us feel welcome and comfortable.

Couldn't ask for anything more!
My wife and I stayed at Paradise Sun for a week long holiday. We serve with nonprofits in Uganda, and this holiday was just what we were looking for: a peaceful, picturesque, secluded holiday! The location is just awesome. Off the main island, not commercialized, and quiet. Every morning we stepped out of our ocean view room and walked 20 meters to our lounge chair on the beach. Just ridiculously awesome. We also enjoyed the stand up paddle boarding and kayaks! The staff is truly great. They absolutely enhanced our time there. Jimmy was particularly great -- he even took us on a hike across the island! Trevor arranged bikes for us to rent to explore the island! The food was delicious and plentiful! If you want to pick up supplies for your stay, a supermarket is a 5 minute walk away! Sunset cruise was great! We recommend Paradise Sun to any and everyone! We hope to return one day! Thanks again Paradise Sun!

Nice hotel with a lovely beach area
We really enjoyed our stay at Paradise Sun. Our whole family dives so the easy access to the Whitetip Diving Service was fabulous. The other ocean activities such as snorkelling, wave board riding etc, are all readily available so if you love the beach and the sea this is definitely the spot. Our only down experience was the dining experience. Its a buffet every night and the staff go to a lot of trouble to provide a great variety for everyones taste. The food is fine. However, the dining area is incredibly hot and getting a seat near the "windows" become ones aim at dinner time. Sadly there are only a few of these. There should be some form of ventilation inside the dining area for those less fortunate who were unable to grab a seaside seat. Fans overhead of mounted on the beams inside may help to make dinner a little more enjoyable because eventually you just give up eating in an effort to get outside into some cool air. The air conditioner in our room leaked a substantial amount of water whilst it was running. This was picked up when we got to our room initially but was never repaired. We used the hand towel to soak up the water at night. This soaked towel was left on the floor and when we came back from the beach later in the afternoon it was really smelly in the room from the wet towel that had not been removed. So we got another towel and took care of the problem ourselves alternating the towels every evening and hanging them out to dry and air during the day.

A REAL PARADISE !
We went to Paradise Sun for 4 nights and 5 days for our honeymoon ! The 1st room which was provided was not up to the standards we were looking for, after having complained with the management the Duty Manager Ms. Wendy was kind enough to fix everything for us ! They placed us in a renovated room the 2nd day morning ! With a honeymoon decoration and a plate of fruits alongside a 30 min massage to make it up to us for the 1st night ! They made sure we are satisfied for the rest of the stay !

Paradise by name...
...and by nature. With its fantastic beach location, superb facilities and attentive staff it's a little hard to be completely objective about Praslin's premier hotel, The Paradise Sun. OK, perhaps the room could have done with a lick of paint and one or two of the bathroom fixtures have seen better days but this is nit-picking in the extreme. Worthy of particular mention is the food which was well-presented, varied and most importantly, consistently delicious! Rest assured, a great stay awaits you.

Le personnel de l’hôtel est très serviable, petite mention spéciale à John qui est le « « « « rayon de soleil de l’établissement », merci à lui pour son professionnalisme et sa bonne humeur! Nous avons passé un bon séjour, l’hôtel donne un accès direct à la plage, c’est très pratique surtout lorsque l’on a des enfants. Cependant, attention lorsque vous vous vous baignez il faut mettre des chaussures puisque qu’il y a des raies rouges qui peuvent vous piquer si vous marchez dessus (elles sont cachés sous le sable). Le petit déjeuner est très bon, cependant le buffet du soir est bas de gamme, si nous avions su nous n’aurions pris la demi pension.
