Ivato Vacations from $2,921

The hotel staff were great. Kind and friendly and most spoke English, so that was very helpful for me. The room was great. Only complaint was the shower doors were grinding on the floor when opening and closing, so it made a loud screetch everytime. My view from the room was spectacular. There are some bars and restaurants close by. I felt safe the whole time walking alone at night, but it is through some dark and dirty streets with the homeless around. But this might not be a good option for women traveling alone and wanting to walk everywhere. However, i felt really safe.

We enjoyed our stay at ILO. The kids loved it too. The pools are really nice, there are some safety regulations that may need to be considered in and around the pools. The steps into the pools are too deep and often people fall there. The vibe at the pools were a lot of fun, the restaurants were great. The service was great. We even saw a lemur early morning at the breakfast. Our rooms were on the first floor, and it was super noisy luckily at around 11 PM with quiet down. But then early morning and throughout the night, we could hear people walk past the room and the cleaners talking so our sleep was heavily interrupted by noise and we felt quite tired the next day. The breakfast was great. There was a wide variety of savory braids, croissants, pancakes, etc. The egg station was very popular as well and they were fresh fruit cold cuts, and cheeses. Overall it was a great stay and I can see that the people that work there really care about doing a good job and giving guests a good experience.

This property is excellent and value for money. The staff are nice and friendly and willing to help at all times.
