Itsandra Beach Hotel & Resort

The accommodation features a stunning beach, friendly multilingual staff, and exceptional cleanliness. Guests appreciate the comfortable rooms and superb breakfast buffet. However, no disadvantages were mentioned.

This place mirrors in perfection what's the state of Comoros: incredibly beautiful scenery (the sea, the garden), lovely and friendly people (at the restaurant), but terribly managed. The rooms are dirty and with maintenance that probably never happen, the beach (and the sea) has trash that goes from plastic bottles to car tires or just clothes, and it's not like they dont have the money to clean the property: both room rates and food have western prices (a beer costs 10$!). So it's sad they dont invest it on making it a clean place. If you come here in the next months, be aware they have construction going work so you will hear loud, repetitive and horrible noise from 6 am to 8pm, so it will follow you in breakfast, dinner, even at the beach, where construction workers will be there looking at you while you're sunbathing. It will definitely last for months. I believe the lack of care is because this is the only "modern" hotel in the island, i hope when the one in the north opens they will change due to competition.

I enjoyed my stay (6 nights in a Luxury room with sea view). The room was pleasant though not at all luxurious. Bed very comfortable. Missing obvious things like a bedside light or even a bedside light switch. Bathroom basic - just a handheld shower, toilet which was very high off the ground and sink, inside a glass cubicle. Bathroom floor very slippery when wet. One towel, and that often disappeared for hours while they washed them. Frequent power outages (easily 10 some days, 10 mins - 45 mins long) but room air con good when power working. No air-conditioning anywhere else. Small balcony with lovely view, table supports has rusted through. Lots of flies at breakfast. Cooked eggs always excellent, pastries mixed quality. Pool had been drained which was a major disappointment and hadnt been advertised as such. Beach lovely however. Some building works going on - digger making lots of noise. There was no transport provided to Moroni, it's a shame there wasn't a shuttle or tours offered. Instead, hotel books you a very expensive and relatively low quality driver if you want but it feels quite a bit of hassle. Outside restaurant did excellent and reasonably priced food and drink. Grounds quite well kept though it was odd when they started screwing down the decking, in the middle of dinner, when it was dark. Plenty of staff who were polite though not proactive and sometimes didn't appear to be doing anything useful. Rooms quite expensive for what they were.
