Nadia and Bernard are so kind and lovely! The house is beautiful and the room is so comfortable, clean and perfect for the setting. Nadia makes delicious dishes and even catered for my vegan diet. Bernard organized local tours and gives the best advice. They even cared for me when there was a tropical cyclone and I needed to stay another evening. It is like being with family friends, warm and caring (especially with the warm welcomes of Mouffa the sweet family pet!). Highly recommended!

Offering a garden, Les Hibiscus Nosy-Be is set on a hill near Ambondrona and 10 minutes' walk from the beach. Free WiFi is available in public areas.

The accommodation offers ventilated bungalows and rooms. Some of them have a hot tub.

Our stay at Les Hibiscus was everything we expected and much more. Our host Solange, warmly welcomed us with refreshing cool fruit juice. Our room was very tastefully furnished, replete with a Krups coffee maker (the capsules are not gratis). The attached and private plunge pool was perfect for taking the edge off the warm afternoons or for a bracing morning 'swim'. The self-catering area was deluxe and had all we needed to make cooked breakfasts or full meals. It's style and class were, like our room, something out of a home and leisure magazine feature. The entire spacious property is immaculately landscaped with solar lights to lead one back from the hill overlooking the sea and Nosy Tanga after watching sunsets in comfortable recliners. The various rooms on the property are all separate and private. Solange was generous with her local knowledge and her staff looked after us very well. There's also a night watchman who let us in and out of the property when we ventured out and back. Les Hibiscus is centrally located and close to a motorcycle rental, a supermarket, the bustling village of Dzamandjar, fifteen minutes stroll from the beach and catching a tuk tuk to places near and far. We can only highly recommend it for anyone visiting the Eastern side of Nosy Be for business or pleasure whether alone, as a couple or in a larger group.

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 staff was exceptionally friendly and helpfully. Nathalie is a great host and really gave insightful information regarding the island. The girls working there was always close by to assist with anything and they go above and beyond to help with any questions even if there was a slight language barrier ( we are not French speaking)

    Villa Tonga Soa was definitely our best accomodation in madagaskar. The owner and the personell are really kind people, the dinners were by far the best in madagaskar (ask for the vanilla chicken!), everything gets cleaned daily, its really quiet. It's an oasis!

    We loved everything about this place; the spacious room, the fabulous views, the excellent food prepared fresh for us every evening and the warm welcome from our hosts and their lovely staff. It was a home from home, but in paradise. Thank you Nadia and Bernard for a wonderful and very special few days in Villa Tonga Soa.
