Andilana Hotel with Pool

"The staff here are fantastic! I swear some of them must work 24 hour days as they are always there an available. They are quick with a smile and assistance, even in English, which was limited on the island. They were helpful in arranging transport and laundry as well as just checking in. The room was spacious, impeccably clean and the balcony was a real treat with views of the ocean and a warm breeze. I chose not to have daily service on my room, just occasional. I liked having a choice. Included breakfast had lots of options, some consistent and some that changed day to day. The crepes were delish, as was all the fresh fruit. The same kitchen and staff also serve lunch and dinner, which I took advantage of several times. The menu changed daily and everything I had was excellent and I would order again. The hotel is just up a small hill from a very busy tourist area, Ambatoloaka, which has lots of restaurants, shopping and essentials like pharmacy and ATM. It's a happening area. I'd recommend a lamp or flashlight for the dark hill walk. I always felt safe walking there alone. "

" I enjoyed my stay"

"This was my first visit to the island resort. They were very welcoming from the start. Even though I didn’t speak the local language, they were very pleasant and polite. The accommodations were very nice and private. The food menu had many choices and appealed particularly to the French and Italian people. They only suggestion I would give is to have another menu to rotate into the mix. The beach was beautiful and very accessible to the hotel guests. The walk to the beach is super close. There was always a tuk-tuk driver available to take us to town and they were always friendly and accommodating. I do recommend this hotel but be prepared for the many short “normal” power outages that occur daily. "
