    Beautiful and good location

    The rooms were quite small. There were some bugs in the bathrooms. There were local kids playing nearby which was lovely, however, they would "invade" the private beach and your personal space. This could be a bit annoying when you wanted to relax and enjoy the sun.

    Excellent location, nice private beach, great decoration and atmosphere! Staff were helpful and friendly, especially Sam who made the best cocktails!

    • Treehouse with Sea View

    Infront of the treehouse there is a local lady selling some crafts which made me feel a little uncomfortable although she did not bother beyond asking once and offering massage. Personally I would prefer none of this within the resort boundaries. Breakfast is basic and not the tastiest so this could use improvement with more choice. Also as mentioned in other reviews no onsite dinner restaurant only snack food (a little pricy for what it is) and this closes along with beach bar at 7pm, which is very early. So you need to go find proper meals elsewhere. A big shame and really missing a trick here. WiFi is only in the breakfast/lounge area so unfortunately your hopes of working by the pool/beach is not achievable. It's a very small resort where WiFi could easily be made to reach all areas and rooms, something to improve on to offer a better experience for future guests. The resort is located right beside local houses and especially for the treehouse you will be woken up by children early morning, so it's not the most peaceful. Generally during the day its ok however on one day the beach on the resort had many kids who were loud and would swim very close to you, not ideal. With all that being said it is still a very nice place and if those few minor things were improved on it could be a great place.

    I stayed in the treehouse which was a magical set up. You have your own little beach area with loungers which is great to have. It's a perfect location if you are flying as it's right beside the airport. If arriving by boat it's a bit away and you'll need a tuk tuk for 25k. The snack food is nice that I tried. Nice long stretch of beach you can walk along. The snorkeling is fabulous just out the front of the resort off shore. So much to see and very little urchins. Make sure to bring your own snorkel as the resort did not have any (currently broken). There was one lady staff member (apologies I didn't get her name) but she was so helpful on reception/breakfast? Very happy to help and helped me arrange my issues with the ferry company to leave the island. She spoke a little English., Enough to understand and very friendly.

    Heavenly stay in Ibiza / Bali style hotel
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Bungalow with Sea View
    • Stayed 4 nights

    The hotel is located between local people so you could hear children or occasionally a rooster in the morning. It didn't bother us sincy you can drag yourself to the beach and enjoy a siesta there. The internet is only available in the lounge but nonetheless way better than several other places in Madagscar. It has no restaurant, so you hav to go out for dinner. But there are several restaurants and gargotes nearby.

    Staff was very friendly, especially Sam did his utter best. Rest was willing to accomomdate our wishes and needs. If we wanted to make an excursion, they were always ready to help us. The location is on the beach and marvellous. The bungalow was magnificent with 2 bathrooms and stylishly decorated. The hotel has a kind of Ibiza / Bali style and feels very relaxed.The snacks and fresh coconuts are delicious.

    It was good due to location and mainly staff members. Was treated like a family member.

    The rooms are very old, needs renovation. Smell of mould and burning rubbish coming from neighbours next door. The smoke was really bad sometimes. The mats also had a bad smell and needed a good wash. The shower was really bad. You have to hold it with one hand to try to have a shower. It wasn’t clean.

    The staff were amazing. Great personality, very friendly and helpful. Could not fault the staff members. Breakfast and food was also very good.

    Great staff, good location but wasn’t our favourite stay whilst on the island

    It felt a bit like a Thailand/Bali hotel. Although I have no problem with this, it feels unnecessary given the beautiful surrounding and culture. Also, it was our most expensive stay yet they didn’t give any complementary water and the bar/restaurant closes at 7. This caused a problem on our first night as we got back after 7 and were incredibly thirsty. In addition they didn’t recommend any local restaurant to compensate for the fact they they don’t actually serve dinner on site (only ‘snack’ meals).

    The swimming pool is a great luxury to have and the location is ideal as it’s walking distance from the airport. The staff were all lovely too (especially Sam). The beach front is beautiful and it’s endearing watching the local children playing after school.

    There's no real restaurant. Only snacks like hamburgers are available but the quality is good.

    The staff was the best ever! We booked a room that we didn't like because it had no view at all. Our fault of course but the staff changed us to a different room to our liking without problems. They really make your stay the best they can. The place itself is also very beautiful and well maintained.
