Our stay was extremely disappointing due to serious hygiene, food safety & service issues. We felt completely at the mercy of the staff rather than cared for as guests. We repeatedly found insects in our food—ants, gnats, mosquitoes & beetle like bugs across multiple meals. I have a plethora of photo/video evidence. After sending dishes back the issue continued & staff denied responsibility. We eventually ate in the kitchen to inspect food immediately & still found insects in several dishes + ants crawling in the sugar containers. The hygiene situation extended beyond food, with cockroaches, centipedes, ants & mosquitoes present in our room throughout the stay. Service was consistently disorganized, with basic requests taking 40–90 minutes or being misunderstood entirely even though my husband is fluent in Malagasy, he lived on the main land for 3 years. We were told 3 dishes would be refunded due to contamination but were still charged. Our final bill also showed clear overcharges compared to our own records. Access to the property was deceiving, it takes 1.5 hours to get to town. They didn’t mention the road is damaged. So you’re trapped unless you pay them for a long motorboat + tuk-tuk journey with a strict 5:30pm curfew that limits your day. Otherwise you’re stranded or have to pay to row a canoe in the dark for 45min. I am currently pregnant & became seriously ill during this trip, testing positive for both E. coli & Giardia after a week of vomiting & diarrhea.

What can I say? WONDERFUL! Teresa and Pino have truly built a little paradise. We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days and everything was just perfect. Our flight was rescheduled and everyone was so kind to arrange a late-night transfer for us, give us the room early to rest, and even offer breakfast. The staff is simply amazing. The food was excellent — Teresa is an incredible cook — and Pino kept us company with many fascinating stories about the place and Madagascar itself. The bungalows are beautiful, equipped with everything essential, and we immediately felt at home. Direct access to the beach and the Lokobe forest behind, where we went on an excursion and saw boas and lemurs — everything was just perfect. In the afternoon, lemurs would come near our bungalow to keep us company — such a unique and magical experience. It was a true oasis of relaxation, exactly what we needed after 20 days on the mainland. We also bought their local Malagasy Rum — it’s something you will never forget, simply EXCELLENT ❤️. And during our stay, we were accompanied by 5 wonderful dogs, which made everything even more special! Finally, thanks to Teresa and her passion for scuba diving, we even got our diving certification! Trust her guidance — it’s a beautiful journey! Thank you again for everything!! 🌺

It takes a certain type of person to enjoy this place. Small isolated property. No air conditioning or fans. Individual chalets open to the air. Units 1 and 2 share an outside bathroom. Food was good, prices were reasonable. I thought transfers to and from the hotel were a bit pricey. Staff spoke very little English but we were able to communicate.

Les.bungalows sont propres. Personnel super gentils ainsi que les propriétaires. Tout était tres bon.les visites guidées de lhotel super sympa. On reviendra cest sûr

Surrounding special natural resources, as beautiful beach, gardan,wild forest. The lemurs come to just behind the bangarows! And owners and staff are warmly care every guest. And foods are awesome especially seafoods. We need to take a boat to reach and it's relly good excursions. I wish I would've stay longer, actually I was there only two nights. They have many tours to enjoy your stay. The transportation to the airport was 20 EUR.
