The best choice to stay in Ifaty
Pros:

During our 4 nights in Ifaty we choose to stay at the Bella Donna and we didn't regret it! The accommodation was even nicer than we thought. The rooms were spacious, clean and had all we needed (such as AC and hot showers). The staff and owner were super friendly and catered to our every need. The swimming pool was amazing, the food was delicious and we could undertake several excursions with local guide Pedro who showed us amazing places such as the spiny forest and the Tortoise Village (which I both highly recommend). Next time in Ifaty we would definitely stay here again!

Cons:

The wifi didn't reach into the rooms and the shower made the whole bathroom wet. But those are minor things in this incredible hotel!

Just perfect.
Pros:

There is a diving center next to the hotel, which I highly recommend. Diving in Ifaty was surprisingly good. The night dives were better than in Nosy Be. The hotel is in a beautiful garden. The restaurant is very good, and the staff is excellent. I really enjoyed the pool. The hotel has won an award recently, and it deserves it. It was the best place I stayed at during my trip to Madagascar. Very good value for money.

Cons:

The WiFi was only available in the restaurant and by the pool.

Best Hotel in Ifaty and one of the best on our roundtrip through Madagascar
Pros:

Location (literally on the beach and surrounded by trees/palms), great food (e.g. zebu stew on tagliatelle), friendly staff, modern rooms (our room had even a very silent air condition - highly recommended), the beach (small as we like it and not just for tourists, beach was mostly used by the locals). If coming back to Ifaty, this will be our first choice hotel.

Cons:

just some little things, that could have made our stay perfect : )
- staff was sometimes a little bit unorganised/unconcentrated (e.g. it happened regularly that orders were mixed up);
- lack of amenities in the room (e.g. no shower gel)

Fantastisk.

Meget hyggeligt. Mange træer og blomster. Der boede en muse lemur, som kom frem om aftenen på vores terrasse. God restaurant med meget lækker mad. Lige ned til stranden. Hjælpsomt og venligt personale.

Cons:

Mange sælgere lige udenfor stedet, som var meget pågående.
