We arrived from Nosy Be, picked up by the owner, following the interesting experience that was being fleeced by the Nosy Be ferry taxi....We opted for travel by car as we were able to feed the holy crocs on the way (very impressive) and see the Tsingy's (equally impressive). I forget how much it cost now, it wasnt cheap, but worth it for that once in a lifetime trip. On the journey, we had ample time to meet the hotel owner who was a very agreeable chap.

The hotel is located on a hillside with very nice views over the sea. It is quite large/spread out if a little dated. Room was spacious with a suspect nautical theme going on. The food is good, with the added entertainment of a live jazz band in the evening. Quite a nice touch by the owner who likes to circulate around the diners in the evening, having a chat will his current crop. The hotel also offers quads to rent , which we tried out on one of the maped routes, very good fun! Overall a pleasant stay for 5 or so days, however not sure that the premium asked is merited.
