Dhevatara Beach Hotel

we enjoyed our stay in this 10 roomed boutique hotel. our junior suite was clean with a comfortable bed with some quirky bits. for example the wifi and shower were at times temperamental . i measured 1mbps download on their hotspot system. to get thru the site you walk over the water on square blocks with 100mm gaps , it works but its an example of art over practicality. ( I would eliminate the gaps and put in a handrail ) TIPS 1. the restaurant is really very good so do get half board, there is a nice pizza place opposite incidentally but not much else around to eat 2 for getting something actually done speak to tahami, the full figured lady on reception, she runs the place in truth. she can sort out your trips and hire cars etc. without her we would have struggled. masons travel may be an alternative to arrange trips. 3 you really MUST arrange a trip every day, you can swim in the pool and walk on the beach but thats about it. like much of seychelles the sea here is full of seaweed 4 4/5 nights should do it here to see main sights and trips on/ from praslin. 5 no its clearly not 5 star, maybe 4 , ambitious marketing there, its a friendly quiet lodging place with a surprisingly good restaurant. 6 general: taxis are expensive, car hire is around €50 per day with €1000 excess, buses are infrequent. they included airport/ferry transfers which was nice
