"As soon as our payment left our account, we immediately received a message saying there will be works at the property from Monday until Wednesday to install new batteries as a back up for power cuts. Why was this not advertised prior to taking our money, underhanded in our opinion. As we run a business it was essential to have a good WIFI and concerned of the work, asked if it would affect the signal. We were then offered free simcards to connect on mobile data and free breakfasts while the works were been undertaken. When we arrived at the property through a gate only to be met with people cooking on the left hand of the reception and people doing their washing on the right with water spewing towards the accommodation. No mention of the simcards which we thought would be available when we arrived. Next day we asked for the sim cards only to be asked for 12 euros to purchase? Not only that but breakfast was added in the evening bill. When questioned about the charging of the sim card, miraculously the works had not started therefore we needed to pay “in contradiction to Swiss Freds message”. Strange as they made such an effort printing out on paper in the hotel room advising about the works. They finally agreed to give the sim cards however one apparently was not working but it transpired they were only willing to give one not two. One of the staff even promised to have the other sim card working next day but then decided to take the day off, fanning the flames of frustration. After spending £420.00 for 5 nights you would have thought the owner would honour his offer and provide both cards, as promised. Quite happy to sell 2 cards for 75000.00mga each but once realised they offered for free only prepared to give one. Fred also has mentioned he has fibre installed into the property but with speeds mainly at 1.9mbps and connecting to the Alma Hotel next door is very unlikely. Thursday after the alleged works the island suffered a power cut and low and behold no backup power kicked in. A couple of hours after the power came back on (the island) we returned to the hotel to be greeted by darkness. The only property without power was the only one that even mentioned about Powercuts and how they have all the backups in place. Fred said he had spent 50’000 on solar panels etc, probably best to get a refund then. In the end we went to a hotel a few doors down which had excellent Wifi and worked from there. I advised Fred that we will be giving a poor review and his response to this is in the picture, make your own judgement. This is the response from a child and not a professional hotelier. The accommodation has severe design flaws. If staying below with the swim up pool there is nowhere you can sit to admire the view, you either have to sit in the cold pool with a concrete slab looking at deckchairs or the seating area staring at the wall. The shack like restaurant is also set down so you have a nice view of the verge, not much else. "

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 :)"

Nosy Be Hotel & Spa ★★★★

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!"

Royal Andilana Resort & Spa ★★★★

"A wonderful vacation for a family of four. Pool, beach, and top-notch activities. Delicious, varied food. Very nice people. Sylvestre is the best sports animator and a great guy!"

Blue Velvet ★★★

"Lovely hotel, in central location, very close to the best restaurants and the beach. The decor and finishes were pretty decent. The room had all that was needed and was well cleaned. The staff was excellent. The restaurant had good food and quick service. The only downside is that the restaurants and bars nearby can get quite noisy until 1or 2am, but that didn't prevent me from sleeping."

Andriana Resort & Spa ★★★★

"设施一流，景色迷人，但服务人员真的很非洲，不要期盼太多。 Facility is great.nice infinity pool to swim and fabulous bey view. Room also big with a very good bathtub . Try their massage you be surprised. Let’s talk about things need improvement. 1.mid night to 2am there’s construction knocking on going in restaurant which is right beside my room. I heard it loud and clear i just didn’t dare to believe this is what happened in a high end hotel. It’s common sense not to make noises during night time any level hotel. in the end i ran out 2am to restaurant to order them stop make noises at this hr. so they stopped. 2.then again 6am gardener is walking around besides my room several times. I can hear very clearly he is walking around and watering. Is that necessary to do gardening so early when ppl still try sleeping? really needs to train their employees to v some basic knowledge what not to do."
