I have never seen a horrible place like this, wherever in the world. The "room" had dirty sheets, dirty towels, dirty curtains, dirty forniture and it was full, really full, of spiders and webs. The bathroom had not been cleaned before of our arrival, the WC had undoubtfully been used by someone else.... The narrow shower was broken, the sink... More

There's nothing outside villa, beach isn't good for swimming, if you'd like to eat out you should get a car or bus to get somewhere. So if you are looking for solitude and unpretentious concerning rooms this place will be ok. Though unpossibility to swim... More

This stay was not like our previous wonderful visits to Villa Flamboyant. Sadly we won't be returning unless there is significant quality maintenance and more attention to detail. Natalie is welcoming and knowledgeable about how to get around. The chef was also very friendly and hard working. More

Rosemary is serving fresh fish each day! In the morning you will taste wonderful marmelades in front of the sea.Go there if you're looking for... More

We spent 10 marvellous days on Praslin at the Villa Flamboyant and enjoyed the hotel's superb beach , simple but warm family friendly atmosphere and of course Rosemary's creole succulent cuisine and her elaborate stories of the island life . We do recommend this place for your holidays. More
