Pros:

Le cadre est exceptionnel, les deux piscines sont magnifiques. La chambre offrait une vue imprenable sur la mer, elle était impeccable et la literie très confortable.

Cons:

Le buffet n’est vraiment pas à la hauteur du lieu (même s’il reste très grand et copieux). La salle, bien que dotée d’une vue sur la mer, est grande et sans charme.
Je trouve cela vraiment dommage de ne pas avoir un vrai restaurant..

Cons:

Food wasn't great. A staff member stole my airpods out of my jacket. I had left my jacket at reception, and forgot about it. They realized it was my jacket because my passport was in my pocket, as were my airpods. I realized my airpods were missing out of my pocket, and then watched them travel to hellville.

Beautiful setting, lovely staff, very relaxing
Pros:

The staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was very big with a huge balcony and its own jaccuzzi, with beautiful views over the sea. The two pools were very nice and it was great to be able to swim in the sea at high tide and to be able to walk along the beach. The excellent Sakalava dive centre was just a very short walk away. Breakfast was good, lunch and dinner were excellent.
