    The cocktails are very basic, almost not good.

    The beach is great as well as the pool, the rooms are comfortable. Overall I would recommend this place.

    Quiet hotel with the most comfortable beds on Nosy Be!

    There is certainly room for improvement. We stayed in a 'deluxe room', which whilst more modern and possibly slightly larger than the standard room, they weren't as nice as the standard rooms. The location is a modern block on the edge of the property and the outlook over, what feels like, an unfinished pool area is not very nice. The rooms on the bottom floor have no view and no privacy. We moved to a room on the floor above which was better. The food was very disappointing. Trip Advisor mentions different menus and specials. That isn't the case. The menu remains the same and is fairly limited. This was the worst food we experienced during our stay on the island. The breakfast in particular was really lacking. Expensive and 80% was pastries. The beach is lovely, but if you are looking for that clear sea and the chance to swim, then this isn't the best location. The tide goes out a long way and as it is very shallow, the sea often looks dark and cloudy with the sand being disturbed. There was also a snooker/pool table which we thought might be fun in the evening, but it remained covered up and out of use as the cues were apparently broken.

    We stayed at this hotel at the end of our trip, so had other places and accommodation to compare it to. The location is very quiet on a nice sandy beach. The restaurant/bar/pool area was very attractive. The beds and linen were the nicest we had during our stay on Nosy Be and were very comfortable. There were some beautiful sunsets.

    Food was uninspired (especially breakfast which was very overpriced for a selection of mini pastries and eggs)

    A certain lowliness of restoration personnel who probably needs more training. But it's madagascar, and we don't have to forget. There's a work attitude that is very common in that area, not owners' responsability

    Contacts with the owners, so nice and friendly people, the location, rooms, outside peaceful space, clean context tours leaving from the hotel, very good food and cocktails

    The hotel manager (owner?) was not very polite, felt as if she was watching us all the time. The restaurant is not very good, the staff are very slow and the food is good but not exceptional, better to eat somewhere else most of the time. The chairs on the beach were very uncomfortable. The massage oils and the spa overall didn't smell very nice. The pool is rather small.

    Lovely hotel, comfortable beds, great massage, nice staff, very clean, great beach, very calm, beautiful garden, decent location, warm welcome upon arrival.

    Nothing.

    This is like a home from home, Elma, Scott and the team make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The food, particularly the pasta, was incredible. Beautiful decor, immaculately presented, perfectly situated, on site help to plan excursions and the friendliest staff ever. Absolutely loved my stay here. Couldnt recommend more highly.

    Not enough variety for breakfast options. Room doesn't have hot water in shower.

    The rooms are spacious and clean. Love the private beach access. Staff are very responsive for both prior to check ins and during the hotel stay. Our flight back to Tana actually got delayed multiple times and the owner (Elma) and her staff were keeping us informed and arranged us to stay for one more night. Much appreciated! Location is great what what we wanted to do for excursion (scuba diving, whaleshark snorkelling, etc.)

    A lovely beach hideaway with excellent food but possibly a bit short of four stars.

    Service or communication among staff seemed a bit lacking. We requested an airport pickup but none arrived, we requested twin beds but the hotel said they did not have the request, and we asked for late checkout and then were unceremoniously asked to leave so the maid could clean the room. The restaurant, while excellent, was not as accommodating as one would expect for a four star: dining hours were short, handling food allergies was limited, and many of the items on the menu were actually not available.

    The food was excellent. The Malagasy chef must have been trained in Italy and the seafood was amazing. The location was wonderfully remote - no other hotels nearby, and at low tide I got in a nice 5 km on the beach. Don't miss the pizza- handmade and very tasty.
