L'Heure Bleue

Best place to stay in Madirokely - at the quiet end of the ***** beach, and with a large elevated deck that gives amazing views of the all the activity in the bay. We had a beach bungalow (8) and while it was smallish, with no air con, the ceiling fan and freestanding fan kept us from overheating during the night. Bungalows are rustic, and you may get a gecko or 2 inside, however the grounds are beautiful, all very well cleaned and serviced, and the saltwater infinity pool plus the 2nd pool, make this an awesome place to stay. Excellent food and cocktails in the reataurant and the Manager Marika personally made us feel welcome. Highly recommended.

Not sure why the negative reviews but each to their own. We unfortunately only stayed two nights at the start of a two week break and was the best easily out of the 4 hotels we stayed at. We were in room 6 overlooking the beach and near the pool/restaurant. The food was 5 star as well as the service. Most of the staff spoke English which was a help and always had a smile. The surroundings are surreal and well kept. The room was on the smaller side but cosy, not too hot and had a nice terrace. After leaving for another hotel which was completely opposite, tried to re-book but it was unfortunately full. The location is the best on the island as not only by the beach but a short walk to town. There is a party on Sundays and they even give you ear plugs which is cute. The negative reviews may have been a while ago and I would highly recommend staying at l'heure bleu as we are fussy and could not find a fault. Shame we left early, if we knew then what we know now we would have stayed 2 weeks within a heart beat.

We stayed here for 2 nights in order to do a whale shark excursion. The hotel is at the quieter end of the bay (no disco noise when we were there). We had one of the newer lodges with a sea view but not over the water (number 14). It was up on the hill with its own little garden and great views. The room has mossie nets on all the slatted windows so you can leave them open for fresh air. There is also an overhead fan and a free standing one. Mini bar but no hairdryer or kettle. No complimentary water. Cold towel on arrival and invited to go to the bar for a welcome drink at our convenience. Breakfast was good - fruit, juice, rolls, pastries plus choice of eggs or pancakes. Dinner choice from a fairly wide menu. We ordered from the snack menu however and had a very good burger and fries! Drinks reasonable. Staff very friendly. The bay itself is a bit seedy and downmarket but if staying for a couple of days to do an excursion I would stay again

Pour notre voyage familial à Nosy Be, nous avons opté pour l’hôtel L’Heure Bleue et en sommes ravis. Les bungalows se fondent harmonieusement dans le jardin luxuriant. L’hôtel propose deux superbes piscines très agréables. C’est un petit établissement à l’écart de la foule touristique, offrant une vue imprenable sur la baie. Le personnel est accueillant et le service impeccable. Le bar et le restaurant méritent cinq étoiles, avec un menu varié et délicieux qui change chaque jour, concocté par des chefs attentifs à nos besoins alimentaires d’européens fragiles, sans parler des cocktails exceptionnels. Un très bon rapport qualité prix! Bon emplacement pour les excursions! Bravo à toute l’équipe!

La jolie Édith nous a réservé un accueil des plus agréable suivi par le reste du personnel vraiment charmant. Cet établissement est un endroit de rêve où tout est aménagé et décoré avec goût. Nous avons eu la chance de séjourner dans un bungalow luxe. Quel bonheur de se réveiller avec la vue sur la baie de profiter de la terrasse privative. Le restaurant propose des menus de grande qualité, servi par un personnel charmant....seul bémol les serveurs ont parfois du mal à donner des explications sur la composition des plats. N'oublions pas Marika, la cheffe d'orchestre de ce lieu. Bienveillante attentionnée avec ses hôtes. Nous n'espérons qu'une chose, pouvoir y revenir.

Super experience, je reviendrai ! Un personnel très serviable, un établissement propre et bien situé (accès à la plage direct) ! je tiens à souligner la qualité des repas servis. Un remerciement chaleureux également à la directrice de l'établissement avec qui nous avons passé un bon moment musical autour du piano de l'hotel!
