This is a great hotel with good location and food. It is also a good place to anchor yourself when discovering Diego and its surrounding. Everything works fine, the hotel is clean with great views and a nice pool.

This was definitely the biggest hotel room I have ever stayed in. Since tourism in Madagascar is a little slow at the moment, the owner was able to upgrade us to better rooms that opened up onto a huge living room with extra bathroom, shower and balcony.
The food and service were irreproachable.

Having stayed @ this hotel in mid- Feb. of this year, I feel compelled to relay that it is a great place to stay if you are heading up to the Antisarana area of Madagascar and Amber Mountain. We encountered the owner , Mr. Michel Desclaux, when we arrived @ the local airport, and he was very kind,put our minds to rest about our transfer and organized excursions, and was there @ the hotel,when we arrived -to greet us,and upgrade our accommodations, which were more than you could ever expect for the area and country.
Mind you-this hotel is not near the town, needs a bit of polish here and there,but the view of Diego Bay,and the restaurant food , as well as the staff make up for it.

I found this hotel when I was staying in the actual city of Diego Suarez (Antsiranana). It is one of the finest if not THE finest in Madagascar. I have stayed there three times in the last two years. The owner, Michel is well traveled and speaks excellent English. Be sure to bring you jazz CD's for him to burn when you come. He is a huge music fan!
The staff is very attentive but never in your face. The food and wine selection is like an oasis. Even the Rose's from the Provance have weathered the trip.
This year there will be a small zoological park next door and you can see lemurs there.
You may hear some of the best live jazz in the Indian ocean while you are there.
Go ahead and spring the big bucks for the Presidential suite if you like. It is a great value!
See a guy named Diny for the best sapphires in town. The hotel will direct you...or ANYONE interested in Madagascar travel can contact me. I have a tourism business there since 2005.
