This is a Beautiful location on Nosey Be. Rooms were nice. Pools were nice. Gift shop didn't take visa cards or dollars but had som neat stuff. Bar service slow as they have an antiquated system to charge items to room. It's very relaxing to hang out there and they offer lots of excursions. you can get massages on the... More

Stayed for 2 nights at the end of Sept / beginning of Oct. Nice stay, prompt service. We arrived quite late (about 00:30) due to delays by Air Madagascar (what a terrible airline, stay away from them if at all possible), service was still 100% even that time of the night. We had a problem with the aircon on the... More

Lovely location and delightful garden, friendly staff and great food. Excellent spa facilities too. This is the perfect place to get away from it all and relax. Don't expect too much liveliness in the evenings as this isn't that sort of place. Excellent choice of excursions too. Highly recommended

After leaving Andilana Beach Hotel, we used Trip Advisor again, and checked into Hotel Vanila. Tried to pay for 6 nights using our credit card, but because their signals are intermittant, the payment didnt go through. I had to subsequently pay with travellors cheques. It was better than Andilana for sure, but not much. The pool area and garden was... More

Dear customer, Thank you for this review. In fact our garden is one of our strong points. Thank you for mentioning it. Debriefing on your comment, Marc, our restaurant Manager was astonished you found our meals “bland” because you showed much enthusiasm on our buffets. As you wrote, Marc “did his best to please” you. He does it with each... More

I had a really hard time picking a hotel in Nosy Be based on the reviews. I finally picked this little gem and we were thrilled. Local design with three small pools one above the next, in one area, and an infinity edge pool in the central area. All had great views out to the ocean. The room was basic... More

Wow! Excellent stay in this beautiful hotel. Thanks for the warm welcome! I went there to celebrate my birthday and they organised a fantastic private party for my friends and I !! The ocean view rooms offer a marvellous sunset behind Sakatia Island (even more when you’re having one of those great cocktails). Thanks to Nosy Be Original for the... More

Not exactly what we expected, had an ocean view room three flights of stairs up and not very close to the sea. Beach is not a swimming beach! Food very average. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and the diving was outstanding.

Marc the F&B manager took us under his wing to welcome us in English and make sure our group of 10 had a superb stay.

This place is ideal for honeymoons. The location (overlooking the Indian Ocean), the resport (beautiful Polynesian wooden buildings, gorgeous landscaping, several infinity pools, several bars, a gorgeous restaurant) and the rooms (spacious, well decorated and very comfortable) all make for an ideal honeymoon resort. The place really does take your breath away. However, it has some odd qualities to it.... More
