Patatran Village Hotel

Spent 3 glorious nights/days here at the end of september, and would have stayed longer given the chance. On arriving at the airport in our taxi, the drive towards the hotel was simply breathtaking with the bluest ocean on your left, white sand beaches dotted with colourful reggae bars..and jungle on the right interspersed with small guesthouses The view of Patates beach as you arrive at the hotel is like something from a movie set...swaying palms, white white Sand, the huge granite boulders and the bluest sea. The excitement set in and all tiredness from the 30 hour journey from Liverpool UK vanished! Just wanted to get down there on that beach and in that sea!! We were greeted from our taxi by the staff, who took our cases from us and sat us down in the reception area with a refreshing cocktail and ice cold cloth. After completing formalities (reminiscent of long haul holidays 25 years ago...handwritten duplicated forms!) we were taken to our rooms..."Buisson" was our room!) And although basic and quite old fashioned , this I feel is the general style around the island unless you're prepared to pay a few thousand euros for a week in one of the top end hotels. Although a little dated, there was certainly nothing wrong with it... it was comfortable and clean with a good working shower and very comfortable beds and pillows. And a view that was worth every single penny of our money! And I think all of the hotel rooms have a similar view, so there is no paying extra for an "ocean view room" here. Our balcony had a table and two chairs and also one sunbed. Could Literally sit on that balcony all day listening to The waves and looking out at the ocean. Air conditioning worked well too. The rooms have a mini fridge, where you will find a couple of beers, Fanta, coke and some water. Prices pretty much in line with what you would pay in bars elsewhere on the island. Staff at the hotel were very friendly and I did not feel that they were expectant of tips. Particularly friendly were the restaurant staff. Talking of the restaurant, we were half board and this meant we had breakfast and evening mail. Now I have been to half board and all inclusives hotels around the world and this is probably a score of 4 out of 10 in comparison to them! However.... This doesn't mean it was bad, It just does not compare to the European / Turkish half boards/all inclusives. Breakfast was nice...chef cooking eggs to your liking, sausages, potatoes, curry, ratatouille etc. Generally there will be different hot offerings each morning based on what was had for dinner that evening before... There are also some fruits, cereals, yogurts, toast, croissants and cakes. It was sufficient, it was tasty enough and it would last us through the day until dinner time. Dinner was pretty similar, with a few hot offerings, some nice salads....again...not fantastic, but sufficient. And being self-catering for the next 4 days of our holiday, and eating rubbish meals in restaurants f

The hotel doesn’t deserve more than 2*. The only pluses of the hotel are a beautiful small intimate beach right next door and service people who really try to be nice. The hotel should have undergone a major renovation a long time ago. The rooms are old, dirty. There is mold in the room. The water pressure in the shower is a failure. Internet access only in the room. Beach towels are dirty, damaged and stained. Food is not good. Definitely not worth believing the photos from the Internet.

My wife and I had the best experience here. The reservation manager was very helpful and understanding and allowed us to change our reservation date without any fuss. When we arrived, we were given a refreshing welcome. The room was large and comfortable and the views of the ocean and the distant islands on the horizon were stunning - probably the best view from any hotel in Seychelles! Above all, the staff was so friendly, helpful, courteous and kind. We had a late boat departure and they were kind enough to extend our check-out time without us even having to enquire about it. Overall, we had a fantastic time there, and would definitely visit again!

for the first time in a hotel it feels like home! wonderful hotel, wonderful place that takes your breath away, uniquely kind and smiling staff. Thanks for everything and I look forward to returning again! the dinners, when they were a la carte, looked like they had a Michelin star. They try to make everything look good and it's very tasty

This hotel offers breathtaking views of the ocean from the rooms and you hear the waves thunder. It made me feel close to the nature of the island. I think the small beach by the hotel doesn't get the credit it deserves. It's really beautiful. The waves can be rough but the conditions varies over the day (and over the year). Anse Severe which is nearby is also a very beautiful and great place to spend time in the water. There you can also find juices and snacks. I recommend bringing swimshoes because there are corals. The pool is beautiful but I didn't end up using it much. The breakfast is great and staff friendly. There is affordable bikerental at the hotel. Although the hotel is quite close to the jetty I definitely would go by taxi (and not walk). One thing to think about is that there are stairs to the beach adjacent to the hotel and to most rooms. This place is a gem.

Super nice place on the wonderful island of La Digue, all rooms with beautiful views, located on a small beach that looks like a postcard picture. Very friendly people, extremely welcoming - all requests immediately addressed. Location very nice, everything can be reached by bike which can be rented in the hotel. Try the restaurant - we liked the food there both from the buffets (particularly seafood or creole) or a la carte. You can sit outside or in an open dining room overlooking the pool and the sea

Our third visit to amazing Patatran but not the last. The setting is perfekt with stunning views and its own lovely beach. The rooms are beautiful with comfy beds, well decorated and very clean. The breakfast and dinner is very good with a large variation. The staff is fantastic, so helpful and always with a smile. Thank you so much to Lindy and the rest of the staff for once again making our stay at La Digue and Patatran Village amazing♥️ Lotta and Hakan in Tanmarin

Beautifull located with nice (small) beach. The personell of the hotel is great. Always frienly and helpfull. Beautifull room with outstanding views. Not so expensive as other hotels and posibillity of halfboard wich is great.

We chose that hotel as the reviews were in general very good. Also, considering the very high price per night (we booked in May, but maybe there were already not many rooms left making prices higher), we expected a clean room with normal, functional facilities. We got a room called "flanboyant ", which we thought was a joke when we entered the room. A dirty bathroom with blue broken tiles, lights with spiderwebs, air conditioning making noise like you were in a butchers cooling room, a scandal. We asked to change rooms and the room were were given was clean. I therefore can only assume that that hotel has still a couple of old dirty rooms left that will be refreshed, as analysing reviews, I have the impression some did the same experience than us. But it is not only the room. They charge the cocktails as expensive as in a five star hotel, you have to drink it at the table as there is no bar lounge, food was just above the acceptable, we had a fish curry mixed to spinach where there were more fishponds that flesh in it. We definitely do not understand the good reviews, this is a total mystery to us as that hotel nearly ruined our stay in la digue.
