"This is not a nice hotel! The pictures are misleading, it looks like they are probably several years old. The hotel is much less inviting now. I guess it would be fine for travelers on a limited budget who don't mind very basic accommodations. The grounds were untidy with visible piles of garbage, the rooms were spartan and uninviting - the place looked more like a barracks than a hotel. I took one look at the place and my room, and left to find another hotel, even though I had already pre-paid....

Had a beautiful stay at Maison Charrette. The hotel grounds were peaceful and charming. Our room was bright and airy and had a private porch. Food was great and the staff and owners were so warm and kind. We wish we had more time there!

Perfect place for a relaxing holiday. The bungalow was well-designed, with an amazing view of the sea and a pleasant breeze. Helpful, friendly staff. Meals at the on-site restaurant are fresh and flavorful. Highly recommended!

It’s just a beautiful property right up against the rainforest. We heard the call of the Indri lemur in the mornings. Everything spotless, the manager is wonderful, rooms had all we needed. Great stay.

We loved our stay at Soanambo. We were greeted with floral crowns and fresh coconuts on our arrival to hotel. The dinners were great, every night was a new, well-crafted 4 course meal. Breakfast options were the same every morning but consistently delicious. Staff members were all high quality and especially our breakfast friend, Judicael, gave us good recommendations for activities on the island. Unfortunately I got pretty sick for two days but the staff were all very helpful and even brought...

A 5 star hotel in ANTA. The reception staff was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We ate at the upstairs restaurant, food was incredible, staff amazing, they went far and beyond to make us had an incredible night; the Maitre D was extremely nice and professional.
I think this is one of the best hotels in ANTA. We will definitely stay here again.

Almost everything was great. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The room was great. The pool was nice as it's very hot in Nosy Be.
Exchange rates were reasonable, and the prices for souveniers and food was no higher than on the main drag.
The only surprising thing was that the less expensive rooms included breakfast in the price, while the expensive rooms did not. Very strange.
The breakfast was only OK.
Strong recommend.

The hotel was clean, convenient, updated, and quiet. The staff was wonderful and the free airport shuttle is a HUGE plus, since the taxis are opportunists and airport staff are overwhelming and insistent.

This place was beautiful and the staff is amazing. My favorite things were listening the the waves at night and then having fresh fruit juice in the morning for breakfast. The ONLY thing I didn’t like is that it was about an hour taxi ride to the town of Hell-Ville which is where you can actually experience some of the Malagasy culture. However, the staff made great arrangements for us and the taxi always arrived on time.

The staff was simply amazing. They were incredibly helpful and friendly.
The only recommendation for travelers would be to bring any cash you need with you as ATM's were not easily accessible.

The property was very well located if you go on a business trip to Tana. And the hotel itself was modern, clean with a very friendly staff. Everybody was always smiling and ready to help.
And they accept dogs which was very important to me.

We had a wonderful experience here! The staff went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful! The rooms all have large terraces that face the ocean providing wonderful sunsets. All meals are delivered to your table on your terrace and they make a lovely presentation. The rooms are large and clean. Shower is large with good water pressure. We stayed a week and used it as a base for excursions. The infinity pool is delightful and the gardens are beautiful. Beach is a 12 minute walk so we only...
