Holiday Beach Hotel

"Surprised and delighted. The hotel, however, was empty. Two out of four days, there was no one else there. Transfer from/to the airport. Gifts upon check-out. Welcome juice upon check-in. Polite. They try to please. That's rare these days. Safe."

Palm Beach Resort & Spa ★★★★

"I just got back and ... I want to say a few words about this trip that I will always carry in my heart! I'll start by saying that visiting Madagascar is impossible in a few days because it really offers so much, it has a lot of small and wonderful islands around and a mystical hinterland that although very poor offers those who travel a different vision of the world ... perhaps the real one ... that of people who with little manage to smile, get excited and say thank you again! The village is on a human scale, strategically positioned with respect to the city and the market and therefore to real life! Attention to every detail offers large and modern rooms overlooking lush gardens. The cuisine, thanks to Nicola, executive chef, was excellent! The best I've found in a village to date (and I take at least 4 trips a year!) Very fresh fish, fruit of all kinds, wide variety thanks to themed evenings! There is no complaint for any palate ... two choices of first courses made at the moment, grilled meat and fish for both lunch and dinner, vegetables and fish appetizers ... truly excellent! The sea point is unfortunately not the best but it takes a back seat because the days are spent out on excursions and I recommend you visit the nearby islands and the hinterland because they are really worth it! Excellent assistance from Alessio, always present and available! A person of high professionalism and competence that I hope to meet again around the world! Thanks also to the entertainment ... in particular to the two local boys who are formidable and to our little Sabina (now we have adopted her) an explosive girl, always present and with a great desire to do! A suggestion for those who visit this land .. bring clothes and school supplies for the children with you .... They are really necessary!"

Swisscocobeach ★★★

"Nice and little gem resort right on the beach, limited number of rooms with pool a direct access to the beach. Owner and staff very friendly and helpful, good trips to the islands by private boat. Small restaurant but delicious food, with menu changing every day. Breakfast available almost all day!"

Hotel-Residence Au Sable Blanc ★★★

"A majestic site nestled between the lake and the ocean. A large white sand beach on the lake side. Clean bungalows overlooking the beach offer good value for money. A boat shuttle is included, taking you there in 210 minutes from Manambato, located just opposite. We ate at the restaurant under a kiosk on the beach. Tasty dishes at a good price. Very helpful and responsive staff. A must-see!"

Nosy Be Hotel & Spa ★★★★

Hôtel Villa les Orchidées ★★★★

"Pros: Spacious room (we had a Big Panoramic Suite with Sea and Garden View) with a large bathroom (shower) and a huge terrace with a stunning view! The room has everything you need (air conditioning, fan, kettle, refrigerator), and the bathroom fixtures are new and in excellent condition. The bed is large. Everything is great. The hotel is very clean and tidy. The hotel staff is very friendly and eager to please. They arrange airport transfers (80,000 local), and you can book excursions (the price is the same as everywhere else). They try to help with any questions. Cons: There's almost no private grounds, only a small but lovely pool with 5-6 sun loungers (always available). It's a 6-minute walk down to the sea, but the sea isn't beautiful; the bottom is muddy, so no one swims. Cons: The breakfast is very poor (pancakes, yogurt, samsa, buns, some fruit, drinks); you have to pay extra for scrambled eggs and omelets (5,600 local). Water is not provided in the room. The toiletries provided are only soap. But the gorgeous view and huge room make up for the downsides :)"

Manga Soa Lodge ★★★★

"We spent 15 unforgettable days in a relaxing and rejuvenating place. Océane and Romain, thanks to their kindness, their attentiveness and their advice, allowed us to fully enjoy this stay. The staff (reception, maintenance, kitchen, cleaning, etc.) is wonderful and contributes to the well-being felt during our vacation. We were looking for a natural and preserved place and we found it without air conditioning and the weariness of large hotels in France, sometimes. I hope this place will remain this beautiful for a long time to come."

L'Heure Bleue ★★★★

"L’Heure Bleue is in a beautiful spot, with a stunning patio over looking the bay. Two pools one overlooking the bay. The staff are excellent and service was very good. The food was first class. I had the garden budget unit, but there are lovely chalets overlooking the bay. Edith at reception, the Manager and the owner went out of their way to accommodate me due to a flight cancellation. Thanks to the hotel for looking after me"

Anjiamarango Beach Resort ★★

"My partner and I stayed here for 4 nights and had a wonderful time at the idyllic resort. The bungalows were spacious but cosy, with direct access to the sea, which we loved. Delicious food and friendly staff, great excursions and a fun social program!"
