Guest reviews for CaranaBeach
"-Hospitality and service from Staff -Fine Dinning experiences - View from hotel/room"
"Aucun."
"The beach at the hotel was absolutely beautiful, and the location was perfect. Our room was stunning and the entire property was well maintained, with lush, beautifully kept grounds. The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive—they went above and beyond to assist us with transfers from Mahé to Praslin and even helped us arrange a rental car. We also arrived earlier than expected, and they kindly allowed us to check in early, which we really appreciated after a long journey. Overall, a wonderful and seamless experience."
"While the room was beautifully decorated for our honeymoon, it would have been lovely to have a few extra touches to make it feel more special—like a complimentary glass of bubbles or a small welcome treat. Also, the bed was a bit too soft for our liking. That said, overall we had a wonderful stay and truly appreciated the warm hospitality."
"We really enjoyed our stay at carana ! We booked a chalet with pool.. The photos were quite similar to the reality. The room was pristine clean. And spotless after every cleaning service. Since the occasion was our wedding anniversary, we really appreciated that the hotel offered a nicely decorated room, sparking wine, a free dinner and cocktails and a reduction on the spa service ! Also, we found the staff at the restaurant quite nice when they we were a french speaking couple, they automatically switch to french to make us feel welcomed. Also, wonderful beach !!! 5 stars with enough shaded spots to feel like you are alone."
"The view from our chalet was obstructed which was quite unfortunate. We could barely see the ocean. In that sense the chalet was overpriced. The prices for the a la carte menu were quite high, not a good quality/price ratio. However the daily dinner theme done by the restaurant was a mean to make a quite digest check. Doing that, the ratio became relly good. Its therefore recommended to only have dinner (and breaskfast) at the hotel. For lunch, you 'll find better options in town !"
"Everything. This is a 7 star property. The location, the view, the familiales, the attention to detail, the staff…all was great"
"Nothing."
"Amazing place, really a luxury boutique hotel, cosy and out of the beaten track. Marvelous beach (one of our favorite in the island) and awesome staff always friendly and smiling 😊"
"Basically all is great, i would just highlight some improvements in the quality of the pastry. All the rest is perfect 👍"
"Everything was perfect. Everyone is so kind over there. The hotel is very lucky to have Bernadette as an employee!!!"

"Very well designed hotel on the beautiful beach. The rooms are a comfortable, well appointed with big terraces overlooking the ocean."
"Inconsistent service and food choices for dinner. Extremely overpriced cocktail and wine list along with the limited and overpriced lunch menu!"
"One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. A perfect choice if you’re not looking for activities, but simply want to enjoy the beach, great food, and a peaceful atmosphere. • Good breakfast buffet — plenty of fruit, fresh baked goods, some cheeses, and eggs cooked to order. • A different dinner menu every day, so we were able to try something new each evening. It included four courses: starter, soup, main course, and dessert. • Friendly and helpful staff — they even helped me organize a birthday celebration. • The hotel is slightly remote, with no shops or cafés nearby. However, this makes the beach quiet, uncrowded, and very cozy. It’s a calm and relaxing place overall. • For the beach, aqua shoes are recommended. To the left (closer to the rocks) it’s great for snorkeling; to the right the entry is gentler and safer if you just want to swim or jump in the waves."
"Minor note: You can sometimes hear conversations from the pathway outside the room. However, it’s not an issue since the hotel is small and there are no crowds passing by — most of the time it’s very quiet."
"Excellent location, fantastic beach area, wonderful food & accomadation."
"No toilet on the ground floor bar area"
"Location is great, love being so close to the sea. Very nice pool and lounge area with sound of breaking waves. Beautiful rooms, very friendly staff. We’ve spend a night before going out on a catamaran and again after. That was perfect."

"Everything about the apartment is 10/10 everything there is neat and the attend to you very well and they make you comfortable as family and if I am going back to seashells again, I would love to stay in the same apartment.😊"
"An amazing view from the balcony, the apartment is well equipped and very affordable for this area. It was quiet and peaceful. 5 minute drive to Anse Petite (but you have to leave the car at the hotel parking and walk 10 min to the beach) and 5 minutes to Anse Soleil (can drive almost to the beach). About 40 min from the airport. We spent a week there and truly enjoyed it. The hosts are super friendly and helped us a lot with bookings, taxis, appliances etc. They also brought us fruit from their garden, which was very nice. Would definitely come back!"

"Excellent modern apartment in the SW of Mahe! Perfect setup to explore the area from Grand Answer to Answer Royale. Strong stable WiFi. Fully stocked kitchen. Good AC to cool the apartment down from the Hot and Humid condition outside. Comes with a washer that was very helpful for cleaning swimming wear and sweaty clothes. Plenty of private parking for the 4 units. Our favorite was the super comfy bed! Slept like babies. Therese was an awesome Host ensuring that we had a great stay. Thanks so much Therese! 😘😘😘 We will stay again when we return to Mahe."
