"The resort was beautiful. The beach, the pool were fantastic and the rooms were good. They offered some good excursions and the kids club team were great with our daughter.
On the negative side, Andilana Beach Resort targets a very specific demographic, Italians. This should have been highlighted as everything was in Italian, including all the entertainment, which limited our enjoyment. The language barrier was also a bit of a challenge, as we spoke very little Italian and most of the staff...
"Lovely we’ll run hotel. Owner very pleasant and involved with ensuring guests are comfortable.
Food amazing. Ambience relaxing and comfortable. Staff extremely helpful and pleasant. Would recommend this hotel highly."
"I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the airport transfer service arranged by your hotel this morning.
The vehicle provided was simply unfit for service. It broke down multiple times along the way, and the driver was forced to take highly unsafe measures—such as reversing up hills or coasting downhill with the engine off and no brakes. This level of risk is completely unacceptable, especially for a journey that takes between 45 minutes to an hour. Passenger safety should never...
"Beautiful place. Perfect for solo travel. Love the vibes and is perfectly placed right on the corner of the busy trip. Would definitely stay here again. The room is also cleaned daily which was a nice touch due to being at the beach all day the room gets sandy quickly so it was a pleasant surprise to have the room cleaned to perfection everyday. They also have laundry on site and many restaurants near by. "

"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.

"Top notch food, customer service, facilities, and atmosphere. The food is delicious and rotates every meal. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are clean. Customer service is great and the staff do their best to accommodate. We had a 4 year old and a 9 month old and they put an extra bed in the room for us. I highly recommend the excursion to Nose Iranja, not only will you see a beautiful beach but you’ll also get a fantastic seafood lunch arranged by the hotel.
Fabrice saved us as we were struggling to communicate with the staff in French. He checked on us regularly and helped us with special arrangements that we needed.
The hotel offers several entertainment activities including aquatics, dancing, and fire show at night.
Highly recommend this place especially for families."
"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. "

The language barrier was also a bit of a challenge, as we spoke very little Italian and most of the staff spoke limited English.
The food was also specific to the demographic with more pasta and pizza on offer than we could handle. There were a few other options, but the quality was average.
The resort could benefit from incorporating more local cuisine more regularly. We did get local options on the excursions, which was really good.
Overall, the resort was great, the staff were great, but we struggled with the fact that everything was in Italian, which we did not expect from a French speaking territory."
"I must admit that I was a little concerned that staying at a resort so isolated we might be “ prisoner “ to over priced food and drinks. My fears could not be further from the truth. The food and drink here is very reasonably priced, and very good. The chef comes to you, yes he comes and finds you, then you order your meal, and arrange the time you would like to eat and you sit down, the meal arrives. Everything here is done with the guest in mind. The day trips offered cover everything you would want to see, the resort has its own boat, so it’s easy to arrange whatever you would like to do. Phillip is always available to answer your questions. He’s been doing this a long time, there are loads of staff on the property. If you would like to spoil yourself in an unspoiled paradise book book book"
"Lovely stay, beautiful hotel and location. Super attentive staff and very helpful. Delicious food and lots of it, great evening performances and overall a fabulous and highly recommend resort. "
