Independent Nosy Sakatia hotels

"Upside: clean room! However, the overall service is average for the price you pay. Basically you paying european money for services that are a quarter of the price anywhere else in Madagascar. Breakfast is expensive and you get served barely anything. I got sick from their mango juice. Do not hire their taxi service because it is well overprice. We orgaised the taxi ourselves and spent about 30 percent of what the hotel wanted to charge. You can get better and cheaper hotels in Madagascar,"

"Staff were super friendly and gave us welcome drinks when we arrived. Food was really nice and they had a large selection of cocktails and mocktails. Only issue was sometimes they would make the cocktails ridiculously strong and the pillows were too hard/large for my liking"

"Yes very nice"

"Pleasant rooftop restaurant and helpful staff. Room was spacious and clean. Was surprised to learn that A/C was only available at an additional cost of 25000 Ariary (about $5 USD), and there was no fan in the room to make the heat bearable without A/C. The room had two beds in separate sleeping spaces, but the A/C was not powerful enough to cool anything other than the bed next to it. There was an electrical panel just outside the louvered door by the bed, and some circuit on the panel beeped incessantly. It would not have been possible to sleep without earplugs. Shower was spacious and provided multiple showerhead options, but there was nowhere to hang a towel in or near the shower room. Nor was there anywhere to set a bar of soap or bottle of shampoo. The space could be made more functional with the addition of a small shelf, two wall hooks, and an A/C unit in the second sleeping room."

"From the moment I arrived (3 members of staff met my boat on the beach) until the moment I departed I was met with excellent service. I stayed two nights at Sakatia Passions for an unforgettable experience. Marianna in guest services is an absolute treasure. She is one of the most kind and genuinely caring people I have ever encountered. Roger took me out on the boat to go snorkel with the turtles. These beautiful giant creatures are not to be missed. But please - look but don't touch. Last but not least Dominic is an incredible chef. Every meal he prepared was comparable to fine dining - both taste and presentation were phenomenal. I had the privilege of being the only guest over Christmas and they made it feel like being home over the holidays - without the family drama. I highly recommend booking this place. You won't regret it."

"Beautiful hotel set in nature, lovely and helpful staff, very clean. Really enjoyed the stay and will miss this place. "

"The had the most amazing time at Voi Amarina resort. It’s like a little paradise on earth. The staff was great, especially Samuela the front of house manager, she assisted us with all the requests. We loved our stay to the bits. The food was delicious. And my birthday dinner at the beach restaurant was fabulous! "

"We would definitely recommend the Royal Beach Hotel if you're thinking of staying in Nosy Be. As well as being a lovely, clean and enjoyable place to stay, the staff were what made it for us. Everyone from the team on reception, the dinning staff to the gardeners, everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. They all made sure we were well catered for. The staff also really showed up for us when our flights were cancelled. They went above and beyond to help us find alternative routes home and made sure to keep rooms for us in case our flights were cancelled again...which they were. Our only note would be, if you go for the All Inclusive package, confirm with the hotel that it includes everything you are expecting from the package. We decided against the All Inclusive on arrival and the hotel accommodated us and refunded that part of the bill. The hotel was great and there's lots to do around the area. Go for the experience and stay for the staff. Have a great time in Nosy Be. "
