I had a really hard time picking a hotel in Nosy Be based on the reviews. I finally picked this little gem and we were thrilled. Local design with three small pools one above the next, in one area, and an infinity edge pool in the central area. All had great views out to the ocean. The room was basic... More

My Wife and I recently experienced a wonderful Holiday at this Hotel. We went as part of a dive group and I wasnot expecting too much as it was rated as a 3 star Hotel and after having had recent dissapointments in Kenya and having seen reports on the beach not being a swimming beach I was not expecting much....

Wow! Excellent stay in this beautiful hotel. Thanks for the warm welcome! I went there to celebrate my birthday and they organised a fantastic private party for my friends and I !! The ocean view rooms offer a marvellous sunset behind Sakatia Island (even more when you’re having one of those great cocktails). Thanks to Nosy Be Original for the... More

Not exactly what we expected, had an ocean view room three flights of stairs up and not very close to the sea. Beach is not a swimming beach! Food very average. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and the diving was outstanding.

I was really impressed by the service, cleanliness & decor of the rooms, food and attitude of the staff. Marc the F&B manager took us under his wing to welcome us in English and make sure our group of 10 had a superb stay. The Ocean rooms on the upper level, where we stayed were beautifully decorated and the little... More

This place is ideal for honeymoons. The location (overlooking the Indian Ocean), the resport (beautiful Polynesian wooden buildings, gorgeous landscaping, several infinity pools, several bars, a gorgeous restaurant) and the rooms (spacious, well decorated and very comfortable) all make for an ideal honeymoon resort. The place really does take your breath away. However, it has some odd qualities to it.... More

Food poor and very pricey, and hotel isn't near anywhere else to eat. Every lunch for 6 days consisted of the same garlic fried vegetables, potatoes and rice served with each dish. In the end you find yourself eating because you're hungry, not because the food is good. Budget for €140 a day in all. Pools lovely, but beach is... More

Wonderful resort on the tropical island of Nosy Be, probably the best hotel on the island. This is a beautifully landscaped beach resort with gentle breezes and gorgeous views. The staff is terrific - they are very responsive to the every need of the guest. Food is great and there are two restaurants to select from. And, all of the... More

It is a very elegant hotel on the beautiful isle of Nosi Be. Rooms are well equiped, new and clean. It has 2 nice pools and eveything is very well kept. The resurant à la carte is very good. On the contrary, the one with the buffet is a bit disappointing. Unfortunately the beach nearby is not particularly nice. So,... More

A perfect oasis of calm. Following our stay in Tana we arrived here looking to relax a bit more....which we did in abundance. From the pick-up at the airport with garlands, to the drink at the arrival to the amazing views, 10 days very well spent. The rooms (the ones with the balconies) were excellent, spacious and clean and fairly... More
