Fabulous stay thanks to Emir
Posted 26 Aug 2019 on HotelsWe stayed at La Modestie for 2 nights this augest.From check in we had an amazing experience as even though we arrived well before check-in time, Emir had a room prepared for us which was much appreciated. He told us lots of helpful information about the island and advise on where to see and what to do.
The room itself was spacious, clean and comfortable.
The location is perfect, with restaurants and a bus stop 2 minute walk from the guesthouse.
Breakfast is served between 8am and 9am and is light and refreshing. On our second morning we had a trip booked to La Digue and had to leave the guesthouse before breakfast was being served. However Emir went out of his way to ensure breakfast was served to us before we left for the day.
On our day of departure, we were allowed to checkout late and Emir personally offered to drive us to the airport.
Would really recommend staying at La Modestie while visiting Praslin.
Thanks a lot Emir for a fantastic stay!

A thief in the night
Posted 22 Apr 2018
Pros: Manager was helpful, the internet not bad for Praslin, the apartment clean and tidy, the bed made daily, the aircon worked well, breakfast was good.
Cons: Outdoor lighting and ideally a video surveillance system!
Location: Inland of the main road. A peaceful spot.
I was woken at 3am by what sounded like a key being turned in the door to our apartment. I sat up, touching my wife to rouse her. She said her bag was missing from where she had left it, beside the bed, with her purse inside. She found the bag by the door, the purse on top, open, with 350 rupees in notes missing. I was alarmed for my own bag, which I had left lying on the floor by the door, containing a treasure trove by comparison. It was still there, with nothing missing. The window over the kitchen sink was closed but unlocked. The door was also unlocked, with the keys in place. We had got off lightly, though the more we thought about what the thief had done, creeping over to our bed, where we lay naked, with not even a sheet over us because of the heat, the more uncomfortable we felt. I was certainly at fault in failing to check the kitchen window but I don't think this would have mattered so much if we hadn't been in the last apartment in a row of three, well away from the main accommodation block. There was no external lighting at that end, and anybody could have approached unseen. We didn't sleep so soundly after that. Often, during the night, I would hear a sudden noise, and sit up, alarmed. I was also very mindful of the fact that during heavy rain – of which there was a lot – the noise of the downpour would have totally obscured that of a forced entry, never mind whatever feeble cries of alarm we would have been capable of!

Quick overnight stay
Posted 14 Apr 2017 on HotelsWe were only there for a night but Emir was very kind and the accomodations were exactly what we needed during our overnight stay in Praslin. My only gripe was that the wifi was not working for the duration of our stay. It was only a big deal because we didn't have local SIM cards.

Charmant établissement bien situé
Posted 15 May 2024 on HotelsNous avons passé quelques jour sur Praslin dans cet établissement. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour à la Modestie Villa. Le cadre était charmant, la chambre spacieuse et confortable. L'établissement est très bien situé, très bien tenu et le personnel très sympa. La présence des tortues un vrai plus. Nous recommandons chaleureusement cet établissement plein de qualités.
