"Our stay at the Exclusive Resort in Nosy Be exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for.
A special thank you to Andrea, the Operations Manager, who personally welcomed us and checked in throughout our stay to ensure everything was perfect. His warmth, professionalism, and genuine care made a real difference. He is a tremendous asset to the resort.
The entire staff was friendly, attentive, and always eager to help. The resort is immaculate, with beautifully maintained grounds and a stunning private beach. We enjoyed kayaking, paddleboarding, and other complimentary beach activities, while the spa and gym were excellent. The entertainment team created a fun atmosphere during the day, and the evening shows were professionally performed.
We also booked three excursions through the resort. Alessandro helped us choose the best-value package and organized everything flawlessly. The transportation, boats, guides, and lunches were all excellent, making each trip a wonderful experience.
The combination of beautiful surroundings, exceptional facilities, outstanding service, and genuine hospitality made this one of our best vacations ever. We highly recommend the Exclusive Resort to anyone visiting Nosy Be and look forward to returning."

We had a fantastic stay at the Veronika. The staff make this resort incredibly special. Everyone was so friendly & kind it felt like home for the 6 nights we were there. Our room was kept very clean by the lovely cleaning ladies, the whole place was immaculate. We enjoyed the food, the flexibility to have pizza/snacks if we didn’t want a full meal was great and the Pizzas/pastas were delicious! The views from the pool and our balcony were breathtaking. We watched some stunning sunsets, and thunderstorms cocktail in hand. They also arranged our trips out & our guide Romrik (?) who came with us each time was fantastic! We really enjoyed his company such a lovely guy, so knowledgeable and kind. Also can’t forget to mention to resident Lemurs, Lori & Dori we miss them so much. We would love to return to the Veronika one day! "
"Absolutely incredible experience! It’s so clean and the rooms are stunning with the best view. The dinner was delicious and so was the breakfast! And there are no words for how wonderful the staff are. There English is amazing! The classes are definitely working and they went out of their way to ensure you had an amazing time and had everything you needed. As a solo female traveler this is one of the best places I have stayed! "
"What can I say? WONDERFUL!
Teresa and Pino have truly built a little paradise.
We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days and everything was just perfect.
Our flight was rescheduled and everyone was so kind to arrange a late-night transfer for us, give us the room early to rest, and even offer breakfast. The staff is simply amazing.
The food was excellent — Teresa is an incredible cook — and Pino kept us company with many fascinating stories about the place and Madagascar itself. The bungalows are beautiful, equipped with everything essential, and we immediately felt at home. Direct access to the beach and the Lokobe forest behind, where we went on an excursion and saw boas and lemurs — everything was just perfect.
In the afternoon, lemurs would come near our bungalow to keep us company — such a unique and magical experience. It was a true oasis of relaxation, exactly what we needed after 20 days on the mainland.
We also bought their local Malagasy Rum — it’s something you will never forget, simply EXCELLENT ❤️. And during our stay, we were accompanied by 5 wonderful dogs, which made everything even more special!
Finally, thanks to Teresa and her passion for scuba diving, we even got our diving certification! Trust her guidance — it’s a beautiful journey!
Thank you again for everything!! 🌺"
