I was a bit disappointed by Nosy Be itself, didn’t feel comfortable there on the beach in bikini and all the sex tourists in town. It therefore was so amazing to have a private beach (felt like a private island) at the hotel, it is so secluded, beautiful and the staff is so incredible sweet and welcoming! I had a beautiful sea view from my room, I saw lemurs and a baby lemur, the food at the hotel was delicious and varied (they made special vegetarian for m). I had the most relaxing massage and a snorkel trip (just me on the boat) where I saw gigantic turtles. Really a holiday feeling! Stay here for sure!

The hotel is situated on the West side of the island with fantastic view of sunsets. It is secluded in its own bay. They have some bungalows with ocean views and I would highly recommend that you try to get one. You will have an unobstructed view of the sunset. The only downside to these bungalows is to get to the highest one it is a hike up the stone stairs but it's worth it. The bungalows vary in size and priced accordingly. The food is ranges from good to great. Great Staff. All speak French and Malagasy. English fluency ranged from good to just a little. The entire staff is Malagasy. The grounds are well maintained as well as all the structures.

Lighting on the paths at night could be improved in some spots but nothing dangerous.

The hotel ground are quite literally stunning. You have a private beach with incredible sunsets every night. There is a pool and the dining area looks out over the ocean. The staff are so so helpful and sort out everything for you and all of your itineraries. They also sorted all of our transport to and from the hotel. There are turtles in the water which you can snorkel and see and you can also take boat trips around the island. I really recommend this place, it’s totally unique!

Nice place to disconnect a couple of days from the outside world. The hotel is located on a secluded beach with wonderful crystal waters. Staff is very friendly and food is ok. Walk to the village is very easy and no paid excursion is needed for that.

To see the turtles you actually need to join an excursion since they are not in the bay in front of the hotel. Experience is anyhow worth it. Food could be improved. Though very fresh it is very ripetitive and rather dry

A beautiful place, a beach right next to the hotel, a bay for snorkeling, beautiful corals, turtles and fish. If you are in the right season, you will see whales, dolphins and maybe even a giant shark on your trip. Patrik prepared the food excellently. The house for accommodation is stylish. We only spoke English, which is generally a problem on Nosy Be, but we were looked after very well by Sara. A romantic place, but with a caveat. Overall, I recommend the hotel.

The hotel is very closely connected with the local residents. So there are children on the beach and adults on the bench. In the same way, the hotel area is constantly accessible and someone can wake you up in the morning. The garden and the houses are well designed and very nice, but someone needs to take care of them further.

The staff are amazing and work very hard to give you a great experience. Especially Sarah, she is very attentive and helps in every way she can. The dinner on the beach I did several times , which was special and the food delicious. I had the best shimp cocktail I have ever had .. The bay is beautiful and you can see turtles there and walk a path to another bay with more turtles and a village . It is perfectly quiet and safe , so I could sit under the stars alone at night . The room is big and beautiful with a sea view.

Nothing ,

As everyone has commented, the food was fantastic. Very fresh fish and zebu steaks prepared with fresh vegetables and nice sauces. Great breakfast with both coffee and tea, fresh juice and fruit and crepes. Although probably expensive by local standards, it felt like a very fair price for a full day of food. The Island is beautiful, very quiet and well kept social space and beautiful gardens with flowers, palm trees, banana trees etc. You have access to your own private beach with deck chairs, towels and umbrella and the view from the bungalows is beautiful. This is a place to relax but wifi is very good - better than in a lot of places. You can hike around the Island and go into the village which is on a beach (30-35 min walk) and also the manager is good at organising activities such as boat tours around the islands and to swim with turtles! All the members of staff are really great and try to engage in conversation- both French and English if possible. I needed to head to the town for medicine and I was kindly escorted by a member of staff for which I am very grateful and appreciative.

I would advise to prepare before coming - some of the mosquito nets are ripped but even without this, the bungalows do see a lot of insects inside so bring insect repellent - I believe you can ask at Reception for mosquito incense (otherwise really difficult to sleep). Do come prepared for unforeseen emergencies as there is only a small dispensary in the village and no other access to pharmacy / doctor on the island itself but rather on Nosy Be which is not too far but far enough to take a full day to get to and back again.

Amazing stay the staff are always ready to help you and have basic English. The cheff cooks what you like and converses well about the options. And a bonus is that the food tastes delicious. Amazing views everywhere you look. Just be prepared if you go on the walking tour it is amazing but not easy especially if it is raining. Take good shoes a hat and lots of water. Be prepared for some bugs but that is part of it's beauty being out in nature. The boat tour around sakatia was a highlight swiming in the coral and with turtles.

Everything about our stay was spectacular. It felt like the type of holiday big shot influencers get paid to have. Private beach, room with a view of it, chef would approach us before every meal to give us a menu of the day and take our order, welcome drinks, everything was stunning

Nothing! Except that we didn't have more time

The location was fantastic, super quiet, and the staff was very friendly and attentive.

Although chef Patrick actively discusses the menu and caters to your wishes (ingredients permitting...), the variation could be increased. The bay and beach are really nice, but the number of beds and parasols to enjoy it are limited.
