Sambatra was the best experience from our whole trip by far. The place is great for relaxing but according to Vincent, the lodge owner, you could have a party atmosphere too..it depends on the people really, because Vincent doesn't run the place in a way like a regular hotel owner would. That is the most appealing side of this place.
You could share some, all, or none of your meals with him and the rest of the guests.. It's up to you. Vincent would sit down and have lunch with you like if he's another guest, bring his laptop and play some after dinner movie.. And things like that create a great atmosphere.
You'll have the opportunity to ask him many questions regarding the island and what to do or where to go.
Food is really good, don't expect quite elaborated dishes though, but then again..if these sort of things concern you, then you should be looking for a different place to go.
If you are looking for a very enriching experience this is your place in Île aux Nattes But if you are expecting the sort of comfort you'll find in a resort in the Caribbean for example.. Don't go there, and I mean don't go to Île aux Nattes at all, or Sainte Marie for that matter. If you enjoy simple things, simple but really good food, and the company of very interesting people then this is a wonderful place.
Be sure about the raining season before planning your trip, we had quite a lot of rain but we knew that before, so for us it was ok.
I'll be posting a complete review in TripAdvisor soon.response / report this review -

Super cozy place by the beautiful (and often empty!!) beach with nice clean bungalows and good vibes. Met amazing people and Vincent is a truly caring host. Definitely the highlight of our trip!

Best place on earth! Please end your Madagascar trip here! There are a few bungalows ON the white beach with coconut palms! Food is very good and the owner is a cool English speaking guy who like to enjoy his guests!
He have his own big motorboat and is a member of the responsible whale watching group. So you do your own whale watching by Vincent!response / report this review -

Spent 4 nights here, and it was the best way to end my holiday in Madagascar. The bungalows are right at the beach with an amazing view. The owner Vincent or Jackson or Lina are always around and can help you with everything. They are friendly, helpful and very relax. You will have diner with Vincent and the other guests at one table which I enjoyed. If you want you can go with Vincent on a boat trip to see the whales, but you can also see the whales from your bungalow.
About the facility's;
- hot water
- electricity from 0800 to 1000 and from 1730 to 2200 (or longer if your still having a nice conversation with Vincent)
- no wifi
- good food
- double bed and a single bed in your bungalow
I really can't find any negative things to say about this beach lodge.response / report this review -
