    They should remove Zazamalala park excursion: animals there are not wild and not sure it is worth doing. Much better doing the Kirindy park and Baobab Alley: amazing!

    Very nice hotel. Considering the location (cabans are direcrly on the beach) superb cleanliness inside and no insect whatsoever inside. Cabanas are spacious and toilets up to western standards. Food is very decent and they provide everything cooked (vegetables as well) if you don't want risk getting sick. Staff is very caring and they organize tours for you (decently priced).

    The breakfast is a bit lacking and the food portions are quite small and sometimes not a lot of variety. Mattresses are old and hard, should be upgraded

    Great property and staff. The rooms are large and airy, it’s a great base location to explore other areas.

    From the moment of pick-up at he airport until the drop-off back there I have been given a VIP treatment. A welcome drink by the pool made my check-in seamless, unnoticeable. The bungalow, situated at the feet of palm-tree clad dune provided cosy and comfortable shelter. Oh, the owner and the entire personnel kept on making sure my stay was care-free. Even Santa popped in at the right time. Absolutely recommended for gourmands and afficionadoes of strolls along the sea shore.

    Food at Palissandre was INSANE, like Michellin star restaurant! The room was super nice, on the beach, with a cozy patio. Super cool area around the swimming pool to enjoy sun and sunset. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

    The wifi doesn’t work in the rooms which can be a good or bad thing depending on why you are visiting. We found that we really had to be sitting close to reception to get good enough wifi to send emails and catch up on some admin/ work tasks. Also, the hot water in the rooms takes forever to become hot - like 10 mins of running the water before it starts turning warm and then hot. We didn’t realise this at first but what I would suggest is turning the water on and letting it run for like 10 mins, do something in the meantime and then by the time you check it again it will be good to get in. Just told expect to jump into a nice hot shower straight away ☺️

    Right on the beach front. Very easy to organise day trips via the reception without pre- booking.

    I‘ve lost $200 cashes, which was put in my tiny bags in the room. So I recommend that everyone should keep their money in the safety box.

    The hotel offered an exquisite fine dining experience every evening, which made us look forward to dinner each day.

    Any negative comment!

    Jean-Louis and his team really take care of their customers : top-service, great kitchen, perfect accomodation (very comfortable spacious bungalows, 2 big pools with towels on the seats and a nice cocktailbar), friendly staff. I took the half pension formula so I could choose lunch (from an exquisite menucard) or dinner. We arrived after midnight and a fine dinner was still offered. Quiet place very near to the city (15´ walk or 5' ride with the bicycle taxi) which offers the live music bar from Jean le Rasta or the fresh icecream at ´Chez Patricia´. Very recommended, correct price for the offered top accomodation, catering and services ! The hotel has also a very qualitive sisterhotel in the capital Tana, must certainly try it!

    We didn't have hot water, but with temperatures in the 90s, we didn't miss it that much!

    What a great place to spend my birthday/New Year's eve! It's a lovely property with bungalows right on the beach. While we did have working A/C, the mosquito nets on the bed were still appreciated, since the windows don't have screens (or glass - they're covered with wood shutters). What else can I say? Staff was lovely, the food was INCREDIBLE and the New Year's party was a lot of fun.

    That there aren't pathways to the rooms to avoid getting sand everywhere and they need more stuff to do at the hotel like games or activities.

    Property was, mostly, clean and quiet.

    The location was great, the food even better, and the pool was perfect. The staff was also friendly and helpful (especially Tina!). The AC could have been m but the room was lovely, well appointed and spacious. Don't count on the wifi, as it's pretty slow, but that has more to do with the area than the location.
