What an amazing hotel resort! This is one of the swankiest places we’ve ever stayed. Staff were very attentive and friendly. The restaurant has a great menu. We spent most of our time by the swimming pool. There’s even a swim up bar. Very nice Totally recommend.

A great lodge. Set amongst spectacular landscape, this isolated luxury lodge provides a great haven and rooms with spectacular views. Staff were helpful and the food very good. They cook their own bread. An excellent location from which to explore the area.

The lodge was beautiful, the staff was very courteous and helpful, and views were awesome! There was some confusion about the type of room we were booked for through our tour company, but all was worked out to our satisfaction and the staff was accommodating! Additionally, I had an accident and injured my fingers. The manager, Severon, was very quick to effective and efficient first aid with all of the needed supplies. Thank you, Dr. Severon!!! It was a wonderful experience and I would not hesitate to go there again!

This is a beautiful hotel situated in a great location, with picturesque views of the surrounding landscape. All the rooms have great views of the rock formations to the east, providing excellent sunset photo ops via sliding glass walls. The rooms are very spacious, and the bath area is impressive- a nice rain forest shower head (plus handheld spray), complement a very big, concrete soaking tub. The architecture for the lodge is modern, with lots of exposed concrete, accented with wood touches. The rooms have A/C, and it was able to maintain a comfortable temp even during the hottest part of the day. At night the temp drops, so the supplied duvet is appropriate. There is adequate storage for large suitcases, and suitable clothes hanging area, plus open shelves and a small safe. The room has a mini fridge is stocked with soda, water and beer, for a fee. I used it to hold a few bottles of soda we had acquired earlier. Breakfast was limited but good- breads (including Danish or pain au chocolate), a small bowl of fresh fruit, a choice of two fruit juices, yogurt, and, if desired eggs (scrambled, omelet, etc.) Unfortunately, lunch and dinner were disappointing. On our first day my wife’s chicken brochette pieces were dramatically undercooked, so they had to be sent back, Even the kitchen’s second try was disappointing. My dinner main course was described as a pasta carbonara, but instead of bacon the kitchen substituted ham cubes, and there was almost no sauce. Because of these and related food service issues, our guide changed our plan from full board to half board (room and breakfast only) and enjoyed lunch at two nearby French hotels with associated restaurants for the remaining 4 days.…

WOW! That is a word to describe this magnificent resort! In the middle of nowhere you drive down this dirt road to a gorgeous oasis in southern Madagascar. This resort is absolutely gorgeous. The views are strikingly beautiful from a room that has everything you could as for. Outdoor deck with views, huge bathtub, very comfortable bed, and as clean as you could hope for. There is a beautiful infinity pool making our morning trek in the nearby National Park even that much more refreshing. The lodge’s design is top rate. The natural beauty with fantastic staff, excellent restaurant with delicious food make this I place to put on your bucket list.

At first: Dont pay them before you are there. They Scam. I paid my trip infront of the stay with the correct amount and exchange Rate. After that they complained that i sent 20% to less Money and wanted more Money. They said it would be the exchange Rate of the Bank. For shure 20% would be the exchange Rate. Thats a Joke. Second: After five times asking about a transfer from Toliara they could deliver something. No other Hotel in Madagascar had so long.

Responded 27 Apr 2023
Dear Sir I am very sorry for the happening. But you have booked on the basis of a non refundable rate to be paid in advance. Unfortunately you had to cancel both the hotel and the taxi from the airport on last minute and nothing we could do to help your unlucky event. Booking.com itself is strict upon the international rules. As in other occasions with few days of notice we helped the Clients. Sorry for the difference on exchange rate; for this I blamed my reservation team since could have been solved at your arrival. But for the rest, including the fee for the driver of the taxi that somehow we have to compensate, i do not think we merit your comment. Nevertheless should you decide to come another time you will have a voucher which we can calculate on what is left. Best regards

We were here as part of a pre-booked tour, so we did not make the choice of this accommodation. The location is very scenic and peaceful. The room was attractive and generally well-kept. But the first night we discovered quite late that the bed-sheets were dirty. Also the areas around the sink drains were rather grungy (but not as negative a problem as the dirty sheets). We were too tired to deal with it that night, arranged things so we could sleep on what we hoped were clean sections. We spoke to a receptionist the next day. The sheets got changed, but the sink drains still could have used attention. This is a country lacking much of what we consider basic in the west, so it's possible there is not access to certain types of cleansers that could have taken care of the grime. The food here didn't appeal to me, but my husband thought it was okay.…
