Being on transit between La Réunion and the Comoros this hotel very close to the airport (just a short walk) was ideal for us. The whole place has an attractive and spacious set up with a quite large swimming-pool (which we had no time to use) and plenty of seating around it. There is no direct access to a beach, since the hotel is completely fenced in, probably good for this island known for a rather high crime rate. Staff at reception and in the restaurant was okay, but nowhere near the friendliness we had encountered everywhere in Madagascar. Most disappointing was the room, a 'Chambre Double Standard avec Vue sur le Lagon' for originally EUR 215. Cancelling it and booking again a few weeks later it was EUR 140, which was still too much. The quite small room was very basic with limited storage space and with the washbasin by the bed, while it had a separate toilet and separate shower. The dispenser in the shower was empty, but there was a small bottle of shampoo and shower gel. At least it was quiet at night. Breakfast buffet is included, but not very rich. For dinner there is just a limited choice and what we asked for, like Ceviche, was not available. We ended up after some starter like a 'Meli Melo de Betteraves' (Red Beet Mishmash) with a 'Romazava de Poisson' with almost too much of tuna in it. There was no salt or pepper on the table and to ask for it we had to get up and request it from the not very motivated waitress. Also, unlike our hotel on the Comoros (and naturally on La Réunion), there is no bar and no alcohol available here.
