Antsohihy Vacations from $2,444

This hotel is a true paradise. I cannot recommend highly enough. Everything and everyone were perfect and I will definitely be looking to return in the near future

Manga Soa is as close to paradise on Earth as you will find! It is a friendly, French-managed small lodge set in the most exhuberant tropical gardens imaginable! Every tropical flower & plant are found here. The managers, Roman & Ocean, are a competent, friendly can-do couple who can handle any request. Their staff is impeccably trained, yet friendly & personable. We loved the French-inspired food! With tasty tropical touches, every meal was a delight! The chef's brioche rolls were scrumptious! This is the perfect paradise! Each oversized bungalow is masterfully made from local hardwoods with true island touches. We loved the huge bed with crisp, cool linens. Lying in bed looking out over the Indian ocean is true luxury! The beach is beautiful but not always swimmable with the low tide. Ask Roman to arrange for their boat to take you to a reef or one of the nearby islands! Don't miss having a massage or 2! Prices are so reasonable & the ladies are very knowledgeable! We loved everything about our stay here and were treated like VIPs! It is a shining gem on Nosy Be. The road is now paved & it's a smooth & easy trip to the airport or Helleville.

We stayed at Ravintsara Wellness Hotel for five nights on a half-board basis and had a wonderful and very relaxing stay. The dinners were excellent throughout, with beautifully prepared food and a good selection. A special thank you to the restaurant team for taking such good care of my husband's dietary requirements. They were extremely accommodating and made sure his needs were catered for every evening. The spa was definitely one of the highlights. The treatments were excellent and the prices were surprisingly reasonable - considerably less than we normally find in hotel spas. Dina gave me an amazing facial, and the massages with Tendra and Patina were extremely professional, deep and incredibly relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed the spa and would highly recommend it. Our bungalow had a beautiful view of the sea. Nosy Be has an extreme difference between low and high tide, but we found the view beautiful at both times and really enjoyed sitting and looking out over the water. The only negatives were a couple of unusual extra charges. We were surprised to be told that there would be an additional charge if we wanted to use the Jacuzzi bath in our own room, and there was also a charge to have an iron. For a hotel of this standard, we felt that both of these should really be included in the room rate. These were relatively small issues, however, and did not detract from what was otherwise a lovely five-night stay. Excellent food, a fantastic and reasonably priced spa.

The ocean was right in front of me. Absolutely Wonderful!I have had the most wonderful week on this little island. Beautifully exotic, Sea is fabulous. I spent my days in the sea, the snorkelling is great and the hotel takes us every morning ( No charge) if you want to see other snorkelling area around the island... I walked round the island, found more beautiful little and quiet beaches. Life over there is so peaceful. My little bungalow on the beach was perfect, lovely decking area, air conditioning working really well. The meals, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner were all of good quality and good choices. Staff is wonderful. Elena manages her team beautifully well. Eric, Hubert in the restaurant and Anita in the Spa, all brilliant! All so kind, so polite, helpful. I was on my own and I felt very welcome. I was never bored either. The atmosphere is so relaxed. Never worn shoes for an entire week! The bar at night has a great atmosphere. I also went fishing one morning and it was very good. What a treat to stay at Tsarabinjana. And I cannot wait to go back ( I want my name engraved on the bar!). I was sad to leave, I would have stayed longer. Thank you to Elena and all the staff, I have had the most beautiful week on Tsarabinjana.
