Recommended for comfort, service, view.
Lovely set of bungalows, very comfortable. Main restaurant/bar is elevated with a great view down to the sea, both from the tables and sofas and from the infinity pool which is right there (the Grand Bleu is not itself actually on the beach). The hosts were attentive and the service was excellent. Accommodation prices were on the low side for this level in Nosy Be (which is all expensive by Madagascar standards); food and drink prices perhaps a little higher. Food was excellent. Side services were excellent, for example they will stamp and post your postcards.

Fantastic hospitality and lovely hotel
Jacques and Celine ensure that you always feel welcome and you can undertake all your desired excursions. Even before you arrive, they check-in with you to determine any needs you may have and arrange and are available before or when you arrive at the hotel to assist you and provide you with recommendations on activities and excursions. Their attitudes and assistance make this a top rated hotel. The location is near the beach and if you are looking for peace and quiet it is definitely the location you would be looking for. The hotel is nice and clean and has a beautiful view of the ocean. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.

Great place - I extended my stay
Great place to stay with nice views to Befotaka Bay. You can visit Atsoa Volcano nearby, Andilana Beach is 3 Km away, Mont Passot is nearby and you can also do a boat trip to Nosy Fanihy. As the aere is a bit isolated it's better to have own transport (scooter or car). Friendly owner.

Bello!
La piscina con vista sull’oceano è meravigliosa. Pulizia ottima, personale cortese e disponibile. La stanza era un po’ piccola e ubicata un po’ lontano dal ristorante, e avrei aggiunto una sdraio per stare fuori dal bungalow, ma la pulizia è stata perfetta. I proprietari sono cordiali e disponibili, Celine è davvero gentile e premurosa!

Hotel tranquille dans le nord de l’île, les hôteliers sont aux petits soins pour vous faciliter les excursions et les sorties dans l’île. Le site est très agréable, aéré et la vue est imprenable. Des travaux de rénovation sont entrepris. Le personnel local est très agréable et professionnel. Bref, je recommande vivement!.

Immerso in verde e calmo, alternativa ai villaggi
Una struttura immersa nel verde, vicino al mare (anche se la spiaggia selvaggia sotto albergo non e’ un gran che). Quest anno volevamo trovare un alternativa al solito villaggio vacanze dove tutti parlano italiano e abbiamo scelto quest alternativa; si dorme in bungalow abbastanza basic ma con tutto quello che ce bisogno (e se non ce, basta chiedere). Dopo che avete prenotato, venite contattati dalla struttura x offrirvi pacchetti per i pasti; non abbiamo trovato particolarmente buon valore in ‘all inclusive’, visto che e’ costato piu di soggiorno e non c’era tanta scelta (menu, non ce buffet) e qualche volta non c’eranno neanche le cose in menu, comunque il cibo non costa tanto (in media 20€ a pasto per 4). Poi spesso si va in gita quindi si mangia pure fuori. Comunque personale extra carino, bambini si sono divertiti tanto anche in piscina. Come alternativa di una gita si puo andare al Andilana beach resort, 10 min da Le Grand Bleu dove ce tutte le strutture All incl resort. Sicuramente consigliato di vedere le isole intorno al Nosy Be e Riserva Lokobe! Grazie Jacques e Celine!

En "must" oplevelse.
En helt unikt sted med ro og overblik. Fantastiske personer der ejer stedet og som hjælper med udflugter og information. En smuk udsigt over bugten og hele dalen. Kun 700m til nærmeste strand. Køkkenet leverer velsmagende mad og hele stedet oser af hygge. Desuden har stedet nok den mest velplacerede swimmingpool, med en ubeskrivelig udsigt.

un paradiso francese in terra malgascia
Salve abbiamo prenotato questo resort con Expedia Naturalmente il costo è veramente basso per una situazione del genere:ottima posizione,vista,confort del ristorante,piscina in posizione originalissima,pasti curati e personale gentilissimo Il primo giorno abbiamo avuto una sistemazione veramente spartana,quella relativa alla nostra prenotazione Struttura veramente bruttina,tutto vecchio e rotto e la notte pioveva a dirotto anche se il panorama era lo stesso e comunque bellissimo La proprietaria ci ha cambiato di collocazione e ci ha dato un bungalow splendido senza chiedere il sovrapprezzo con molta professionalità Non so forse per evitare malcontenti si dovrebbe sottolineare il tipo di sistemazione o far vedere delle foto,così si capisce la differenza

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.
Non è sicuramente un villaggio turistico, ma si mangia molto bene ed è una ottima base per le escursioni. Non ha una propria spiaggia, o meglio ce l'ha ma è come se non l'avesse, ma l'andilana e'a meno di 2km. Parlano solo francese e non si può pagare con carta di credito
