A lush and calm place  - We spent a week on the Seychelles and choose Les Lauriers after some research.

Superb experience when making the reservation and before our stay at the hotel, Sibylle was attentive and helped us along the way.
Les Lauriers is located at Anse Volbert-beach, where you can find a few restaurants, some supermarkets all within walking distance.

The hotel grounds are amazing, clean, well kept, green and lush with palm trees, plants, bushes and trees all over. The rooms are big, well cleaned, huge bathroom and a nice patio outside.

When it comes to the staff, we found them to be really friendly and welcoming but what was lacking was the service at dinner time, more than often items were forgotten, and we could end up waiting up to
an hour for our food. We brought this to the senior staffs' attention a couple of times, and we saw some improvement, but sadly the day after it was back to the same problems.

The food itself is ok, i would have wanted some more "local cuisine" and some food with more "zing" or taste, the best dinner experiences we had were the barbecues that was
held a couple of times. No complaints there.

Prices at the hotel are as the rest of the Seychelles, really high and expensive, this is nothing to blame the hotel for though since the prices are at this level
all over the island.

The beach, Anse Volbert is somewhat shallow, we visited a couple of times but found Anze Lazio up north to be worth the cost of a rental car.

All in all, a nice hotel that would have been 5 stars if the service at the dinner serving was up to par with the rest.

  Nice hotel, good location  - The rooms at this hotel were fantastic. Really big, well equipped with 2 person washbasins and walk-in showers.
I loved sitting on the terrace and watching the birds in the garden. We were welcomed at the hotel with a drink, our bags were taken to our room and we were given a tour of our room. The boat trip to Curieuse island was fantastic value and we really enjoyed it. The hotel also arranged a hire car for us at short notice. I loved the hotel pool and gardens. The swim up bar looked fun, but was unmanned every time I was in the pool.

 · Breakfast was good, but you had to find a suitable vessel like a glass for milk to go with tea and coffee. I think they should provide small milk jugs with tea and coffee. The night porter, cleaners and Edwin, the owner were friendly, but there was a European lady at reception who was not very helpful and whom I found quite scary. The other lady at reception was very helpful and efficient. Some of the staff in the restaurant seemed subdued and quiet. I think the biggest area of improvement for this hotel is in customer service and injecting some of that characteristic warmth and charm that the Seychellois are famous. The creole buffet was delicious, but the price as provided in the room information folder was incorrect and I found the bill confusing ( incl or excl tax ?) A much better experience is to be had at the Asian and Creole buffet nights at the nearby St Pierre Beach restaurant at the Paradise Sun hotel.

  Just perfect.  - Beautiful small hotel, pool and restaurant which was recently renovated before Covid. Gorgeous plants everywhere and a lovely team of staff. We stayed as 2 adults and 2 kids, we don’t normally do half board but we did at Les Lauriers as the restaurant has such a good reputation. So happy we did, the fish bbq, amazing salads and staff were all fantastic. On days when the buffet’s not on they include a la carte (with a small supplement on some dishes). Sybille and Edwin have done an amazing job building Les Lauriers into what it is today. We loved our room.. spacious with an amazing new bathroom with stylish polished concrete and an awesome rain shower. Anse Volbert beach was a lovely surprise too, very calm and we loved chatting with the locals and our day trip over to Curieuse. We hired a car locally (Steve @ no.1 cars also highly recommended). Very happy family and if we come back to Praslin we’d definitely stay at Les Lauriers.
