"This is not a nice hotel! The pictures are misleading, it looks like they are probably several years old. The hotel is much less inviting now. I guess it would be fine for travelers on a limited budget who don't mind very basic accommodations. The grounds were untidy with visible piles of garbage, the rooms were spartan and uninviting - the place looked more like a barracks than a hotel.

I just returned from a 9 night stay avdchete are my observations:
The hotel is very centrally located and just seconds away from the beach and the main bars and restaurants.
It has good sound proofing so no disruption to sleep or rest.
They have backup power generators so no disruption to air conditioning, hot water etc.
There are lots of stray dogs around but they don't bother you. The area felt safe but Blue Velvet has 24 hour security for peace of mind.
The restaurant staff are great...

It is off the beaten track surrounded by beautiful gardens and highly perfumed flowers, a small hotel, it is secluded and very private but will all the requirements you need. Food is excellent, all kinds of facilities are available you only have to ask. It has a secluded private beach, a small infinity pool overlooking the sea. Scuba diving is amazing and local tours are amazing.

our experience from check-in to check out exceeded our expectations even though we’d read all the great reviews from previous visitors.

Amazing place... best hotel here. Narindra is so kind and helpful and speaks amazing english. Anything i needed help with Narindra helped with. She introduced me to a guide and a dive company both were brilliant. Not sure what I would have done without her.

What can I say? WONDERFUL!
Teresa and Pino have truly built a little paradise.
We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days and everything was just perfect.
Our flight was rescheduled and everyone was so kind to arrange a late-night transfer for us, give us the room early to rest, and even offer breakfast. The staff is simply amazing.
The food was excellent — Teresa is an incredible cook — and Pino kept us company with many fascinating stories about the place and Madagascar itself. The bungalows are...

The best thing about this hotel is undoubtedly the staff, especially Eric and the two lads in the restaurant. They take what is already a decent hotel and make it an amazing one.
Unfortunately, the airline lost our luggage, but Eric immediately stepped in and helped us. He personally came out with us to help us find everything we needed, expecting absolutely nothing in return. Five days later, when our luggage finally arrived, he went above and beyond once again by accompanying us to retrieve...
