Heliconia Grove

Heliconia Grove is a great place, also because of Hazel, the manager, and her team! Hazel is very welcoming, always smiling and pulled strings to make our holiday truly memorable! She even managed to Organise a birthday cake for our little daughter within two hours. Her team is also friendly and helpful, they showed the kids how to open coconuts and explained about the island. The location is great, beachfront, you see and hear the sea from every room (villa no 7). Shops and restaurants within a short walk on the beach (take a torch with you, walking on the beach in the evening is nicer then along the road, and it is safe!). Kayaks are for free and great fun. We would suggest two improvements: better lights on the terrace and more space for the turtles! They are quite hidden in a corner of the garden, we felt a bit pity for them, and it would also be more attractive for the guests if they could come closer to the footpath behind the villas. Thank you Hazel and your team - we will be back!

Everying was just great! Οn the best location,close to the beach, spacious, beautiful self-contained bungalows, all fully equipped with kitchen, small private pool, good air conditioning, very nice, smiling and helpful staff. A lot of thanks to Hazel, was a lovely, welcoming host, and made our stay perfect.

Our stay at Heliconia Grove was above and beyond anything we could’ve hoped for- not just because of the luxurious suite, equipped with anything and everything you might need to make you feel at home, and the perfect location, but even more so thanks to the absolutely incredible owner, Hazel! No matter what inquiries we had (and we had MANY!) regarding dinner recommendations, excursions, even car rental- Hazel assisted us (always with a smile, patience and a great energy) through everything and curated the most perfect vacation for us, no matter what last-minute changes we had and taking into consideration all our needs preferences and limitations (traveling while pregnant and all that jazz :) ). Heliconia has a grill area, kayaks and direct access to the beach and each villa even has a small pool which is pleasant to dip into..or admire from the private patio. The place is easy waking distance (by beach or road) from a couple of nice restaurants (which Hazel helped us discover and book) takeaway trucks and some supermarkets (should you decide to cook some things up in your fully stocked kitchen). Cote d'Or is a beautiful beach and although the tide may reduce it in size (also season dependent), we found it to be one of the better Praslin beaches with great sand, nice shade and not packed with people. We would absolutely recommend anyone visiting Praslin to stay at the wonderful Heliconia Grove- you’ll be guaranteed to have an incredible stay and a perfect vacation!

Réveil aux sons des vagues et des oiseaux; l'accès à la plage en quelques secondes pour profiter de l'eau turquoise et du sable fin. La villa, de style colonial, dispose d'un grand salon, d'une kitchenette équipée (vaisselle comptée) et des très grandes chambres avec dressing/douche/toilettes séparées. Sans oublier la petite piscine privée. L'ensemble est très propre. La situation est parfaite : Le restaurant ''La Goulue'' (excellent) et supermarchés sont à 10 minutes à pied. C'est un séjour enchanteur et nous avons été admirablement accueillis par Hazel, notre hôte. Elle était superbe. Bravo à toute l'équipe pour votre travail! (Un grand merci aussi à Joel) Nous recommandons cette adresse pour la tranquillité, le confort et l'accueil qui vous seront réservés. Allez-y les yeux fermés, vous ne serez pas déçus!

Experience sensationnelle dans notre petit bungalow en bois. Nous ne regrettons pas d'avoir réservé dans cet établissement. Tout était parfait ! Dépaysement assuré ! Le style des bungalows, le confort et le niveau d'équipement, la plage à deux pas, les canoës disponibles gratuitement, les barbecues, la petite piscine privative, l'extrême gentillesse de Hazel à la réception, les nombreux restaurants accessibles à pied.

Une gérante disponible et sympa. « Bungalow » très bien conçus. Idéalement situé (attention, d’après ce que j’ai compris Anse Volbert est nickel quand les vents dominants viennent du sud et c’est le cas au mois d’août ;-) important d’identifier ce paramètre en fonction de la période de vacances !) Au centre de l’hôtel des barbecues « à partager » en libre accès La plage est vraiment à côté ! Le moins : manque un peu de végétation
