4 giorni vista oceano.
Pros:

I bungalow sono sulla spiaggia con una vista sull’oceano bellissima. La camera e il bagno sono spaziosi. Personale gentilissimo e accogliente. Cibo buono. È un posto che mi sento di consigliare agli amanti del kite surf o a chi vuole passare dei giorni in relax. Ottima posizione per visitare le 3 baie a piedi e non molto lontano dal villaggio di Ramena da cui partono le barche per le escursioni.

Cons:

La doccia, pochissima pressione e poca acqua calda.

Pros:

It's right on the beach. Arranged an airport transfer with the hotel. Restaurant area and pool are nice with plenty of family dogs around. We had the half board and both breakfast and dinner were good and there was an abundance of food. The serving ladies are so sweet. The hotel can organise kite lessons. Also, the owner helped us find a driver for our excursions.

Cons:

The bungalows could do with a little upgrading especially the bathrooms. Really old shower and sink. Get your earplugs for a good night's sleep. Even though our room was next to reception, we had no internet in the room.

Une bonne adresse
Pros:

Super séjour (3 nuits) au Royal Sakalava !
Emplacement idéal sur la baie. Avec une piscine (ce que n’ont pas les quelques autres hôtels de la plage)
Très bon petit déjeuner, bon restaurant également !
Service agréable
Les bungalows sont simples mais propres et fonctionnels (eau chaude, ce qui est rare à Madasgascar !)

Cons:

Seul bémol qui a gâché l’expérience : pendant notre séjour il y avait un homme européen d’une soixantaine d’année qui était ivre à chaque dîner, se comportait bizarrement (crachat, hurlement), et surtout ramenait des jeunes femmes malgaches différentes dans son lodge tous les soirs. Intolérable.

Posizione straordinaria ma rustico
Pros:

Lo staff è amabile, la cucina molto buona e la posizione è straordinaria con affaccio diretto alla spiaggia.

Cons:

Le camere sono molto rustiche, il WiFi è disponibile soltanto vicino alla reception e non in camera, non è presente l'acqua calda e nel bungalow non è possibile utilizzare Phon o apparecchi potenti perché l'alimentazione è via batterie e pannelli solari.
