3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2012

We were there from 30 Oct to 4 November. The owner, Patrick, had my last review pulled by apparently claiming to Trip Advisor that we never stayed there. Unfortunately he just didn't like what we had to say and couldn't take the criticism, much the way he is in person. Our own, first-hand experience with Patrick is consistent with the... More

After a horrible drive we where very surprised about this nice place. The bungalows are lighted, clean, good situated. The beach is nice, the stuff and the owner are helpfull and obliging. A nice place to stay for one ore two nights for relaxing during a Madagaskar Trip.

What a bad experience this one! Pros: the beach (nothing special but at least OK). Cons: far from the town, lower than average structures, not always clean, French owner mistreating (local) personnel and very very very unpleasant with clients. Service is so slow you would not believe it. Overall, not a good place.

After reading all the bad critics I was a bit sceptic. Fortunately, we had a very positive surprise. The service in the restaurant was maybe somewhat slower than at other places we have eaten in Madagascar. However, the quality of the dishes is really outstanding and worth the extra waiting. There are no lemurs in cages anymore. They have been... More

Really really a pity. Place is OK. No frills, no luxus, things fixed as good as they can. But overall nice for the beach and location. Yet, the management of the hotel is a nightmare. Personnel is so slow you just can't believe it (even for African standards). The owner then is quite rude : any small demand is troubling... More

The hotel is OK, on a nice beach. Clearly do not expect luxus, nor any special comfort. But Ifaty is a nice place and this hotel is on an OK beach. However, maintenance should be improved. Moreover, service is super super super slow (breakfast, other meals, drinks). And the owner is a very unpleasant person. Definitely someone that should not... More

We had to go in a backyard bungalow with no further compensation for 1 night -owner is awful and awkward -service is incredibly slow (we reserved bfast at 730 and it arrived at 845.... and... More

Hotel has a nice location with a beautiful beach. The food was good even the service was slow (mora mora). The bungalow was comfortable execpt for the curtain- instead a door!- used to separate the room from the bathroom. There were mosquito nets on the bed. I really disliked seeing lemures in a cage, it's very sad seeing imprisioned animals.

The place is on a very nice beach, not far from Ifaty. The structure is simple but well done. Generally also clean. Staff is however slow. Moreover, what makes very unpleasant the stay is the owner: impolite, unsympathetic, at times even aggressive. Also, tariffs (room, meals, trasports) are never clear and you end up being overcharged. It is not a... More
