Positif : L'hôtel est d'un excellent standard, avec un confort, un environnement (jardin, plage, piscines, ...) et un service de très grande qualité. Très belles vues sur la mer et Nosy Sakatia. La chambre (501) est très confortable, calme et avec une très bonne Wifi. Le personnel du Spa est très agréable et propose des massages de très bonne qualité à des prix raisonnables. Donc, globalement, une très belle prestation (un peu) négatif : l'absence de restauration à la carte, personnellement je ne suis pas du tout un fan des buffets et un avis encore plus personnel : l'ambiance de l'hôtel est très occidentale, on n'y trouve pas le charme et l'atmosphère tellement sympathique des lodges malgaches

The good: The lady at the front desk was very nice Needs improvement: Room and property were run down and a bit dirty, air conditioner was not powerful enough to actually cool the room, all four pools were green with algae, food was quite bad and there were few dining options (no room service, very limited ability to eat outside of the buffet)

Le Vanila Hôtel & spa est exactement comme présenté sur le site d’Expedia. Nous avons apprécié la qualité de l’acceuil dés notre arrivée et le personnel à notre disposition pour de très bons conseils. Les excursions proposées nous permettent de vraiment découvrir l’ile de Nosy Be et les îles paradisiaques environnantes avec un très bon rapport qualité/prix D’autre part, on se sent en sécurité la nuit dans cet hôtel en bord de plage ou le personnel de sécurité y est présent en permanence Côté restauration, on dira qu’au bout de 5 jours il faut obligatoirement passé au menu du jour Le menu à la carte étant vite parcouru.

Comfortable - nice hotel - but restaurant average

Nice hotel, very comfortable and clean. Beach is reasonable, but not excellent. Upgraded room on arrival which was lovely. Negatives : the food was great, but lacking in choice. 2 out of the 4 white wines were unavailable, as were other simple ingredients which were on the menu: i.e. vanilla ice cream! The service in the restaurant was inattentive. Everything was quite pricey in comparison to the rest of Madagascar (and indeed Nosy Be)

Spacious room - nice hotel

The rooms are the best thing about this place! Very large with huge balconies with drying racks and a large bathroom. Lovely decorations. The spa is also quite nice and the landscaping well done. Don't eat at the restaurant. Some staff in the bar are surly and the orders and bills were always wrong. They try, but for the price it is not worth it. There is a cute beach-front café less than five minutes walk down the beach (next to Sakalava Dive) that has good, inexpensive food and a big menu (though service is also slow). Hotel is good for breakfast though. The desk staff were always pleasant and helpful. There is a well-stocked gift shop and a tours desk where it is easy to book excursions for the next day or later in the week. They have two pools, but chairs in the shade are limited.

Un bon rapport qualité-prix

Bonne localisation. Accueil agréable. Personnels souriants et attentifs. Bel espace bien aménagé et entretenu avec soin. Pas de WiFi disponible dans les chambres, mais seulement dans le restaurant. Piscine un peu limitée en taille. Plage à marée basse un peu trop vaseuse, et sans aménagements particuliers pour la baignade.

Hôtel de charme tres classe

Super belle hôtel. Personnel tres tres simpatique mais cella ne sadresse pas au responsable d'accueille le monsieur tres orgueilleux et aussi avec c'est collègue . La chambre toujours impeccable et si vois êtes un jeune couples belle attention du personnel il vous deposeron sur votre lit 2 signe avec les serviettes et des fleurs . Repas tres bon mail les prix sont trop cher . Cadre idéale reposant un endroit de rêves . Attention : Si vous souhaitez donner un petit pourboires faite le discrètement et de main a la main . Car si les chefs d'équipe le remarque votre pourboires ira dans une caisse commune et adieux la bonne attention.

Mooi hotel met schitterende tuin.

Ik miste roomservice en een waterkoker voor koffie en thee op de kamer. Het ontbijt was ook erg sober, er waren bijvoorbeeld geen vleeswaren of kaassoorten.

Ｗｉｆｉ有料が残念

現在ホテルの増築中。あいにく増築している脇の建物の部屋に泊まったが、騒音は気にならない。どちらかというと、その離れの建物はWifiが入らないことが問題。また、レセプション付近でならWifiも使用可能だが、まさかの１日２０ＭＢまでで、それ以上は有料。折角、料理も部屋もプールも庭もよいのだから、ここだけ改善してくれれば完璧なのに。

ハートウォームなもてなし

チェックインをした後、自家製のウエルカムドリンクをいただきました。ホテルについての丁寧な説明をしてくださり、それ以外にレセプションに何度も質問にいってもとてもすばらしい対応でした。ただ部屋には蚊がいたり、スタッフの話す声が聞こえたり、ｗｉｆｉがつながらなかったりとちょっと不便なところが残念。ほかお庭もきれいで、ゆっくり読書をしながら過ごせたので総合的にはまあまあでした。
