  This was the fourth stop on an extended Madagascan holiday. On arrival were met by owners and staff. The lodge is nestled between two rock outcrops, with lush mountain behind which gives an idilic private feel.
  
  The room (think there are 8/9 units) and bathrooms are spacious, well maintained and the housekeeping is good. Ceiling fan which runs all evening is great, complementing the sea draft during the very hot and humid days (December).
  
  The lodge claim to fame is undoubtedly the 3 course meals for lunch and dinner. The dishes are delightful, more so given the difficulty obtaining supplies.
  
  WiFi is free, mostly good but slow as more guests log on. The lounge area is open, with amazing sea view. Service to the tables are good during meals. English is not spoken in general, but we could converse to a degree and make it work. Canoes are available, free of charge.
  
  There are issues I think potential guest need to be aware of.
  
  The small beach front, at first quient, soon becomes inhibiting. Long walks are not possible, and there is a real lack of things to do at the lodge itself.
  
  The cost of drinks are really high, as is laundry prices (priced per garment). The excursions as well, true European prices.
  
  On review, the lodge feels more like an overnight destination. It lacks character of a holiday place, offers nothing quient nor memorable. The drinks cost prohibits a splash of holiday indulgence.
  
  I have only mentioned this once before..the feel one gets is the owners are in it for the money. An example; serving at breakfast. No buffet setup, everyday you are asked if you want yogurt, fruit juice to accompany the breads and coffee offered. If you want fruit (plentiful and in season) be sure to ask for it, it is not offered. The same with milk. Having to ask for everything everyday, we were reluctant to stretch it to a boiled egg for example.
  
  The seating in the lounge is not plush nor comfortable, same as the couches and chairs on our veranda. No board games were offered to alleviate the boredom.
  
  The need to profit from the business override the desire to offer the guest a memorable holiday.
  
  To end, the owners are friendly, the lodge units spacious and clean. Lunch and dinner very good and staff fine. Consider the negatives above so you know what to expect.

  Un hotel au charme fou et reposant.
  Au départ de Doany il faut 10 minutes de bateau ou 25 du port de nosy be pour arriver sur cette magnifique plage privée ou sont posés 7 bungalows et l'unité de vie.
  Nous sommes accueillis par Christine et Houby des notre premier pied sur le sable, on boit un cocktail d'arrivée et nous découvrons notre bungalow. Superbement bien aménager, plancher en bois ciré et terrasse également avec vue et accès direct sur la plage.
  Les repas sont un régal produits frais et fait maison.
  Philippe et Christine (les boss) sont très sympa ainsi que Philippe et Houby qui les seconde.
  La plage est magnifique ensoleillée toute la journée et nettoyée tous les jours, la mer translucide et chaude ou nous avons eu la chance de voir des dauphins.
  Jolis coucher de soleil pour les amateurs de belles photos
  De belles ballades en mer sont proposées, mais épuisé de 20 jours de circuit, nous avons joué les lézards.
  kayaks et paddle mis à disposition
  Que 2 jours malheureusement
  Vraiment mieux que les plages de Nosy be remplies de touristes qui ne sont pas vraiment la pour faire de la bronzette et boites de nuits bruyantes.
