Our two-storey bungalow was very spacious and featured two double beds, two single beds and one balcony with sofas. The staff is simply exceptional and responsive, willing to fulfill every single request. You can book at the reception the most popular excursions on the island at very honest prices. Its small and cosy restaurant is open for breakfast (which is included in the bungalow rate), lunch and dinner. Wide choice of tasty, simple dishes at very modest prices. A big thank you to Iacopo and Diego who made my holiday on this fantastic island one of the most beautiful memories I will cherish forever thanks to their great helpfulness and kindness! Real value for (little) money, absolutely recommended!

Giannie, the host, was incredible. She took great care of us during our stay and then went above and beyond afterwards. We had mistakenly packed a couple of their towels which she came to collect from the next hotel we stayed at. She organized an airport transfer at a much better rate than our next hotel offered. When our next hotel couldn't arrange a babysitter she found one. And, lastly, when our son left his small suitcase in the taxi that we took to the airport, she arranged to get it back and hold it at Villa Vintana until we returned again. Gracious and cheerful from start to finish. The common areas are limited, but they make the best of them--some board games, games for the kids, TV and lounge area. And they organized tours at a much better rate than other hotels. Food and drink prices were also better value than other restaurants or hotels we went to.

we had a very large room right on the beach with a terrace with table and chairs and deck chairs! it was furnished and decorated with lovely African touches! the bed was comfortable, plenty of hot water and a fan! the whole property was kept spotless by the wonderful friendly staff! Patrique and his lovely wife and team were so welcoming and we felt right at home having breakfast on the balcony overlooking the sea. Patrique was so helpful with local information and any questions you may have. There is a kitchen to use which is well equipped and very clean too! There are a few eating options in the area and you are right in the little village too (but it is very quiet!) We did not want to leave but sometimes you just have to move on! A great budget option! Thank you Patrique and all at Villa Mena!

From the moment I arrived at Les Chalets de Melinda, Captain and Tata welcomed me with genuine warmth and kindness. Their hospitality is truly unparalleled. Despite my limited French, Tata went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and ease, even providing me with a list of item costs and a converter for my plug. Captain, with his charismatic demeanor, is the epitome of a cool host. Together, they form a dynamic duo, embodying the true essence of kindness and sincerity.   The chalets are nestled in a serene location, offering tranquility while being conveniently close to everything one might need. The facilities are well-equipped, and I honestly didn't find myself missing a TV at all during my stay. Cleanliness is evidently a top priority here, as every corner of the chalet was spotless.   If you're looking for outstanding value for your money, Les Chalets de Melinda is the place to be. It's not just a hotel stay, but an experience, thanks to Captain and Tata. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine and memorable experience.

    The Villa is a small bed and breakfast with only a few rooms, beautiful views and facilities including the infinity pool. The hosts are welcoming, friendly and helpful. The rooms are private, very well equipped for self catering. We stayed 10 days and had a few work calls from there, for which the internet was good. They served fresh juice and breakfast, with lunch and dinner available at the hotel down the road.

    The staff are amazing and work very hard to give you a great experience. Especially Sarah, she is very attentive and helps in every way she can. The dinner on the beach I did several times , which was special and the food delicious. I had the best shimp cocktail I have ever had .. The bay is beautiful and you can see turtles there and walk a path to another bay with more turtles and a village . It is perfectly quiet and safe , so I could sit under the stars alone at night . The room is big and beautiful with a sea view.

    Beautiful room, pool and location in a quiet bay. Very peaceful with very friendly staff. Easy to get onto the next bay for more choice of restaurants and to change money etc but it’s a bit seedy there. Ambondrana where the hotel is located is not like that at all. The beach is stunning and all the locals super friendly. We were there to dive and there were 2 centres within a 5 min walk. The room was comfortable with a huge bathroom, hot water and the swim up pool.

    I stayed a few days ago in one of the hutes. At first I wasn't sure whether to book that or a normal room in the house, but I decided to take a chance, and it turned out great. Waking up there was amazing, it gave an inexplicable peace and quiet. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. I will always be grateful to Natalia, the hostess, for all her advice.

    Last week a friend and I spent a night in Corto Novo. We rented one of their "hute". Without a doubt the best choice we could have made, it was a totally new experience. We would definitely repeat, we would have liked to spend more time there but we were leaving 🥲. The hostess, Natalia, was very attentive at all times and the explanation of the hute she made before arriving was totally precise and it corresponded to reality.
