The good: The lady at the front desk was very nice Needs improvement: Room and property were run down and a bit dirty, air conditioner was not powerful enough to actually cool the room, all four pools were green with algae, food was quite bad and there were few dining options (no room service, very limited ability to eat outside of the buffet)

Le Vanila Hôtel & spa est exactement comme présenté sur le site d’Expedia. Nous avons apprécié la qualité de l’acceuil dés notre arrivée et le personnel à notre disposition pour de très bons conseils. Les excursions proposées nous permettent de vraiment découvrir l’ile de Nosy Be et les îles paradisiaques environnantes avec un très bon rapport qualité/prix D’autre part, on se sent en sécurité la nuit dans cet hôtel en bord de plage ou le personnel de sécurité y est présent en permanence Côté restauration, on dira qu’au bout de 5 jours il faut obligatoirement passé au menu du jour Le menu à la carte étant vite parcouru.

Comfortable - nice hotel - but restaurant average

Nice hotel, very comfortable and clean. Beach is reasonable, but not excellent. Upgraded room on arrival which was lovely. Negatives : the food was great, but lacking in choice. 2 out of the 4 white wines were unavailable, as were other simple ingredients which were on the menu: i.e. vanilla ice cream! The service in the restaurant was inattentive. Everything was quite pricey in comparison to the rest of Madagascar (and indeed Nosy Be)

Spacious room - nice hotel

The rooms are the best thing about this place! Very large with huge balconies with drying racks and a large bathroom. Lovely decorations. The spa is also quite nice and the landscaping well done. Don't eat at the restaurant. Some staff in the bar are surly and the orders and bills were always wrong. They try, but for the price it is not worth it. There is a cute beach-front café less than five minutes walk down the beach (next to Sakalava Dive) that has good, inexpensive food and a big menu (though service is also slow). Hotel is good for breakfast though. The desk staff were always pleasant and helpful. There is a well-stocked gift shop and a tours desk where it is easy to book excursions for the next day or later in the week. They have two pools, but chairs in the shade are limited.

Un bon rapport qualité-prix

Bonne localisation. Accueil agréable. Personnels souriants et attentifs. Bel espace bien aménagé et entretenu avec soin. Pas de WiFi disponible dans les chambres, mais seulement dans le restaurant. Piscine un peu limitée en taille. Plage à marée basse un peu trop vaseuse, et sans aménagements particuliers pour la baignade.

Hôtel de charme tres classe

Super belle hôtel. Personnel tres tres simpatique mais cella ne sadresse pas au responsable d'accueille le monsieur tres orgueilleux et aussi avec c'est collègue . La chambre toujours impeccable et si vois êtes un jeune couples belle attention du personnel il vous deposeron sur votre lit 2 signe avec les serviettes et des fleurs . Repas tres bon mail les prix sont trop cher . Cadre idéale reposant un endroit de rêves . Attention : Si vous souhaitez donner un petit pourboires faite le discrètement et de main a la main . Car si les chefs d'équipe le remarque votre pourboires ira dans une caisse commune et adieux la bonne attention.

Ｗｉｆｉ有料が残念

現在ホテルの増築中。あいにく増築している脇の建物の部屋に泊まったが、騒音は気にならない。どちらかというと、その離れの建物はWifiが入らないことが問題。また、レセプション付近でならWifiも使用可能だが、まさかの１日２０ＭＢまでで、それ以上は有料。折角、料理も部屋もプールも庭もよいのだから、ここだけ改善してくれれば完璧なのに。

Obstructed Ocean View

Perfect location, gorgeous setting. The hotel itself needs a major upgrade (i.e. decaying wood around the pool area; cheap, unattractive room decor). Looking shabby with the years. The personnel were friendly enough but we felt we were being fleeced at every encounter & transaction. So-called room-with-an-ocean-view had a ceiling overhang that obstructed half of the view. Restaurant menu was sparse, food quality mediocre and quality to price severely lacking. We were very disappointed overall with the experience. We would not go back to this hotel.
