The property was good, clean and staff reasonably polite. Food was buffet style, tried a decent mix of international dishes. Location is good, walking distance to the Cote d' Or beach and also close to Anse Lazio by car. Definitely expected a bit more from the common areas for a 4-star hotel.

Excellent hotel in Praslin
We had a fabulous stay at Le Domaine de la Reserve, the location, staff and room were excellent. Although, 8 days was probably a bit too long as the food is quite repetitive. it’s an easy walk to Côte d’Or beach where you can pick up a water taxi and some beer/wine for your room!

Relaxed small resort/hotel in beautiful location, set in it's own private bay with private beach. Brilliant snorkelling from the beach. Light, spacious room with huge shower and separate bath. Attractive villas (4 bedrooms in each) scattered around the grounds. Fabulous huge pool. Staff really nice. The main restaurant/bar is set on a pier jutting out over the sea, so mealtimes were a particular delight, eating great food, looking out at the tropical fishes in the shallow waters below.

Negatives outweigh the positives
Positives - clean rooms, well kept grounds, beachfront location Negatives - rude staff on reception, frequent power cuts, poor quality of food at dinner considering the cost (breakfast was better), broken fan in room, no wifi in rooms Overall the negatives outweighed the positives and i would not stay at this hotel again especially given the cost.

Ennie should get fired, Say no to room 101
Wifi works in a tiny area near the pool, rude receptionist (Ennie?), room 101 is terrible, non-private and our bathroom smelt like sewage. Ennie didn't care and lied that the hotel was booked and couldn't move us. We talked with other employees that showed us it wasn't. Pool was very nice, but that's about it.

Nice hotel, food is excellent
We stayed during Christmas. It's a nice hotel. Needs a bit more attention regarding refurbishment. Lights at the restaurant are just awful ( too bright) however staff is amazing. The food even better. The beach, pool are stunning. Definitely would go back. Nice for children too. Rooms are spacious and have a nice terrace.

Relaxing, nice location, good service - with birds
We've spent two weeks in this Hotel and enjoyed much the relaxing atmosphere, great spaces and superb view. It was fully booked but we had always the feeling that it's like off-season. Rooms are spacious and nicely decorated in Seychelles style. It's not on the main beaches, so you need a bike (can be rented free in the hotel) to get to other beaches or shops. Staff is very friendly and helpful, even if the service is not always professional. The hotel is offering some excursions, which are highly recommended, they are well-organized boat trips with snorkeling/hiking. The hotel has officially two restaurants, but one is only serving breakfast and dinner, the other one is only open for lunch. There are 3 bars, but one is only open in the daytime, the other one at dinner, the third one was closed during our stay. Dinners are good, with thematic buffets/menus. What we didn't like: breakfast is pretty boring, every morning the same: two sorts of cold cut, cheddar cheese, smoked fish, the same "home-made yoghurt" (put out without any cooling), powder-milk, pancake, eggs, a small selection of fruits,fruit juice out of the box. You get 2 bottles of water on arrival and after that each bottle will be charged - at pretty high price. And the birds: everywhere in the restaurants, on the tables, on the breakfast buffet, literally everywhere, and they are "dropping" everywhere, on the tables, chairs, even on us, guests. The hotel has obviously no solution to this problem.

В целом хороший отель
Брали сьют с выходом к морю. Номер хороший, всё продумано, отличная сантехника и система кондиционирования. Выход из номера на террасу с которой лесенка прямо в воду, на террасе есть диванчик и качель. Пляж у отеля просторный, но много кораллов и в отливы купаться невозможно. Из минусов - это не очень вкусная еда и птицы на шведском столе, которые едят всё, что могут, буквально приходится их отпугивать, чтобы положить еду. Ещё неприятная история - уже в последний день вечером обнаружили на террасе здоровенную крысу, именно крысу с хвостом. Это подпортило впечатление, хотя в отеле нас и пытались убедить, что это водяная выдра из ближайшего леса.
