We only stayed one night here as a stopover between Andasibe and Sainte Marie. I'd have liked to stay longer if we'd had more time. The garden is full of interesting plants, including vanilla creepers, and an odd collection of corals, fossils and other collected bits and pieces. The bungalows are lovely palm & bamboo buildings, simple but elegant and... More

We spent a weekend here in February. La Pirogue is the perfect place for a quiet and peaceful time. The beach is very picturesque and stretches curvaceously on both sides of the property and the water is calm and warm. As previous reviewers have stated; the bungalows are very rustic and sparse with intermittent power. The restaurant menu is extensive... More

A pleasant looking coastal resort set on a quiet beach. The cottages are pleasant if sparingly furnished. There is a bar and restaurant on the premises, and resident pet lemur. The chef present's his dishes amazingly well however, the substance failed to match the presentation. The juice we were served smelt off and the fruits were past theire best. My... More

We only stayed one night on the way to Sainte Marie, so not much to say. It's a beautiful location, with well-decorated basic bungalows. The view from the restaurant at sunrise is stunning. The staff were always smiling, but we seemed to be an afterthought. Reception wasn't aware of the transfer booked the next morning, which took some pushing to... More

I stayed here on a business trip (to remote rural areas), and was sad to not have more time to spend on the beach! The hotel comprises lots of individual bungalows which are sparsely furnished but traditional and clean and functional. The grounds are beautiful with many of the unique fauna for which Madagascar is famous, and the location on... More

Beautiful white beach, cleaned and raked, with very comfortable bamboo sun lounges and cocktails served to you...a good start! The restaurant is high standard, and the lobster true to indian ocean expectations and size! accompanying wine fabulous! The lemurs in the hotel bar are the attention seekers and make it a truly special visit. The resort is familial with a... More

Le Pirogue is perfectly located on a small bay along the beach from Mahambo village. The beach in front of the hotel is protected by a reef so its generally shallow though there did seem to be some strong currents so you‘d need to be careful with children.. Mahambo itself is also a nice little village where fishing is the... More

We spent our honeymoon at La Pirogue... What a dream!! A true paradise! Not to forget the staff kindness, the parties at night, the cocktails and especially the delicious cuisine at the restaurant. The bungalows are the cutest ever, welcoming and clean, always full of fresh flowers and the beautiful beach is more than inviting. We also loved the authentic... More

The grounds were beautiful. The people were very laid back. All rooms were less than 100 yards from the beach. if you are into quite beaches go for a walk on the sand and you find it. If you are more adventurous and enjoy surfing or any type of boarding they have that too. We spent 17 days in paradise!... More

My husband and I spent Easter there, it is a real tropical paradise, the food and seafood is fresh and excellent, music entertainment every night with a local band, karaokes was a lot of fun. Full bar overlooking the Ocean with exquisite cocktails. Great sandy beach, and cute bungalows with awesome decoration. We had a wonderful time. More
