Holiday Beach Hotel

"Great hotel lovely and quiet and staff were very helpful and very friendly couldn’t do enough for us"

Palm Beach Resort & Spa ★★★★

"We discovered this hotel because it had been a while since we had been to Nosy Bé. We absolutely do not regret our choice. From the arrival shuttle to the departure shuttle, everything was perfect. A beautiful structure, a beach cleaned every day, the staff always smiling and competent, the good food, the activities offered, the pool facing the sea and the superb sunset. A quick word also for its very accessible and caring manager. In short, all this to say that we will return and recommend the Palm Beach Resort and Spa in Nosy Bé"

Andriana Resort & Spa ★★★★

"**Outstanding Refund Ignored Despite Repeated Follow-Ups** We are a South African tour operator specialising in Madagascar travel. We made and paid for a booking with Andriana Resort & Spa in Nosy Be, which was later cancelled within the permitted cancellation period. The hotel acknowledged that a refund was due, requested Malagasy bank account details, and confirmed that the refund would be processed “within the next few days”. Relying on this assurance, we refunded our client in full, in good faith, before receiving the funds back from the hotel. Unfortunately, despite numerous follow-ups over several weeks, emails to the General Manager, telephone calls, a detailed written timeline, and a final deadline for payment, we have received neither the refund nor any meaningful response. This is extremely disappointing and concerning from a business perspective. As a travel company, we depend on suppliers who honour their own cancellation policies and communicate professionally when issues arise. In this case, Andriana Resort & Spa has left us carrying the financial burden of a refund that they acknowledged was due. We regret having to post this publicly, but after exhausting every reasonable private avenue, we feel other travellers and travel professionals should be aware of our experience. Should Andriana Resort & Spa resolve this matter and process the outstanding refund, we will update this review accordingly."

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!"

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 ★★★★

"Thanks to the staff, but especially to Guillaume and Magalie, who are always available to customers and especially attentive. I recommend this hotel for its calm, its cleanliness and its excellent cuisine. Very interesting excursions are available for customers. Lemurs, swimming with turtles, big game fishing..."

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!"

L'Heure Bleue ★★★★

"We arrived mid afernoon and were shown to our room - which was quite small, very dark, with a concrete patio with no real view, and a dodgy front door :-) It was, to say the least, disappointing - we hadn't booked a budget room but it felt like we had. Yes, the beach is a few minutes walk away, the bar and pool area look lovely - but the room we were offered didn't quite cut it! So yes, my review is based on first impressions but having asked to be moved and not being offered anything that resembled some of the nicer photos on the website, we decided to move that night to a different hotel :-("
