    Matress was not too comfortable in one of the rooms. The other room had windows towards the inner yard, not a great view The other appartments were better

    Nora the manager is very friendly. The place has an authentic feel It is fair value for money

    Very large, comfortable and very clean house, equipped with all the necessary dishes. Nora very hospitable, always ready to solve small requests and for various information. Having a late evening flight allowed us to use another apartment.

    I cannot recommend this guesthouse more. Nora and her staff are super friendly; the guesthouse contacted us before our arrival to confirm when we were going to be there, and if we would need a transfer, and then when we were checking in, Nora provided all the information that we needed for our stay, including where to go, when is the best time to go, how to avoid tourist traps. She booked some places to visit and helped us find a car. We also enjoyed wonderful home-cooked dinners with local cuisine, which was a nice surprise after our stay in Mahe, where it was hard to find good quality food. The location is also great - a very quiet place, but just a couple of minutes walk from the dive center and from the beautiful beach. I happened to have forgotten my shoes when we checked out and only remembered when we made it to another island - LaDigue, and I was really upset because we were not planning on returning to Praslin. But when I called Nora, she made an effort to get to the boat the next day (which is 20 min drive from the guesthouse), and she sent me the shoes that I picked up at the boat station in LaDigue. This shows how Nora cares about her guests - she makes you feel very welcomed.

    The place is very close to Cote d'Or beach, but it's overlooking the main road and you have to walk a little in order to reach the beach.

    Nice guesthouse with very friendly and helpful staff. Spacious and extremely clean. They give the option of a dinner service, which was very good. On our last day, they kept our luggage and even let us take a late shower, which was really appreciated.

    The apartment was super big, clean, comfy and offering everything you need on holiday. However, the best thing about it is Nora. She takes care of you since you arrive and assist you in all situation. Anytime we need some information or help, Nora was avaliable. Moreover, they allowed us to use the room even after checkout as the boat was leaving in the evening.

    Nothing. Acquario is managed by Nora. She is very thoughtful and we felt at home.

    Acquario GuestHouse is a super stay in Seychelles. We have been for 10 days, in two large apartments, one for our children and one for us. Everything is perfect, Nora (the manager) is always available and talkative, the staff cleans the apartments everything. The location is also cool. 5 minutes from the Cote d'Or beach, close to Anse Lazio, not far from going to Valle del May. Further, just behind the Cote d'Or beach, there are many restaurants to go to. But we also eat once at the Acquario, Nora cooked for us fish and vegetables (super). We have been in April, so no mosquitos, little rain. Acquario is safe, wi-fi and air condition work perfectly. In very short, we strongly suggest to be at the Acquario for your holydays in Praslin.

    Great value for money at a very nice location. Nora the manager and her staff was very friendly and helpful. She organised a last minute car rental that we could not achieve via emails from home. If you are open for local food, her Kreol dinner is a must :)

    What can we say... We Stayed at Nora's place for 4 nights. Houses are in very clean and quiet area of Praslin. PLace was cleaned everyday - fresh bed linens, fresh towels, cleaned worktops... Amazing. We had free upgrade from Nora as place was not fully booked. And at the end we had opportunity to enjoy true Kreol cuisine made by her - which completed experience. If we will ever decide to go back to Praslin, it will be at her place. !00% reccomend !

    Nothing really. We were very happy staying here

    The Staff is very friendly and the place has everything you need and is very clean. We went chose the place because of its proximity to the diveschool^^ its not as loud here, as down on the beach, since you dont have the loud music from the Cafe des Artes.

    700m from the first restaurant/shop, dark, no light on the way, the house was almost the last one on the property and there was no light and road, next to a forest. For 3 nights we heard some noises in the ceiling coming from a rat or bird. Also, Nora, the owner offered to prepare us fresh fish dinner for 300RP/p (600 in total), we accepted, and then the next day to find out that the exact meal that we have eaten was at a take away near, but with 250RP for 2 persons. The furniture was old.

    The house was spatious, good wi-fi and air conditioner in each room.
