L’hotel migliore dell’isola, staff rincoglionito, posizione spiaggia pessima
Pros:

Pulizia, struttura nuova, campi da padel e tennis, piscina

Cons:

Staff lento, colazione preparata sempre in ritardo, problemi al check out col pagamento per € a loro dire vecchi e non accettano le monete, spiaggia inesistente e zona non bellissima per la balneazione, molto meglio il Princess Bora anche se di qualità più bassa

Excellent hotel & management.
Pros:

Really excellent Hotel! The suites are right on the beach. Nice restaurant / bar in the facility. Tons of activities available - whale watching, snorkeling, kayaking, etc. The manager Shanna checked in daily to see how the stay was going and offer local advice. She was exceptionally personable and made the stay memorable.

Cons:

La meilleure décision pour des vacances au paradis !
Pros:

Le meilleur séjour rapport qualité prix ! Foncez !
Au départ nous avons réservé 3 nuits en demi-pension au Mantis Soanambo, puis, nous avons rajouté 3 nuits supplémentaires. Ce fut une expérience formidable pour nous, qui sommes des grands voyageurs. Cet endroit nous plonge totalement dans les valeurs de Madagascar, tout en étant dans un confort inouïe. Nous avons tout adoré ( l'équipe du restaurant au petit soins pour les allergies alimentaires ( Mialy, Tahina, Annie, Jenna, Nicolas, Donale,.. ) les buffets au petit-déjeuner et déjeuner...les soirées et les cocktail à ne pas manquer, la tisane offerte du jamais vu sur l'île. Pareillement, l'équipe de l'hôtel ont été incroyable, nous avons pu faire pleins de choses à Sainte-Marie grâce à leur super recommandation ( Sarah, Shanna, Castelano, Ismael). Nous reviendrons de sûre !
A faire absolument aussi avec eux , l'excursion baleines, ils sont top avec des guides et ecovolontaires très professionnels.

Bonus : Ils ont des 🐢 🐢 🐢 🐢 🐢 dans leur jardin

Un hôtel si charmant et luxueux avec des personnels 100% Malagasy c'est un grand privilège.

Merci pour ce séjour magnifique !

Personal touch, caring, very good value for money
Pros:

There is an open concept with original art and handicrafts that make it feel modern but authentic. Location is very close to airport and ile de Natte. It’s very close to the main road, so some noise, and opposite a field which is used for public festivities. The rooms are comfortable and good storage.

Shana the front of house Manager made us feel welcome and looked after. She heard about our interest and activism for marine conservation and invited us to attend a local CÉTAMADA conference which was very insightful.

The whale watching activity was amazing!

Cons:

We had a few ups and downs with things not working in the room, but they were resolved immediately and to our satisfaction.

The hotel is very close to the main road so it is noisy, but you get used to it.

Un séjour de rêve à Sainte-Marie
Pros:

Superbe vue sur la mer depuis les chambres. Bon restaurant, personnel très attentif. Tout les équipements fonctionnaient bien..

Cons:

Le lagon devant l'hôtel est vraiment magnifique mais la profondeur est vraiment très basse. Difficile donc de vraiment s'y baigner.

Fint , koselig , god mat og atmosfære
Pros:

Hyggelig personale , de hadde skilpadder på hotellet, paddel , vann aktiviteter som kajakk og kano som var gratis, god mat

Cons:

Dusj hode sprayet vann i alle retninger og det kom små dyr inn på natten , men det var nok vår feil siden vi hadde døra åpen. Bassenget står også foran ved lobbyen noe som var litt rar plassering så følte det var rart å bade og sole seg der
