“Really enjoyed a birthday get-away”
Fabulous place that is very homely. If I had to pick a negative it would be that my husband and I were eaten alive by sandflies and mosquitoes but that is an us problem and not the property. No one else seemed to be affected! The food was excellent and they were very accommodating.

It's right on the beach. Arranged an airport transfer with the hotel. Restaurant area and pool are nice with plenty of family dogs around. We had the half board and both breakfast and dinner were good and there was an abundance of food. The serving ladies are so sweet. The hotel can organise kite lessons. Also, the owner helped us find a driver for our excursions.

“Great hotel and restaurant at the beach”
Great hotel and restaurant at the beach. Good room with warm water and fan, kite school and rental available. It was possible to pay by bank transfer which was very helpful. The mobile signal if you bring a Telma SIM card is good enough to work.

“Relaxing stay on the beach with excellent staff.”
Beautiful set timing in Sakalava bay. Stunningly remote but plenty of excursions to be had which include visits to Diego or the port where you can travel to the Emerald sea by boat. It’s a real family environment which we loved and the staff and hosts are very caring and helpful. The rooms are great with mozi nets and spacious bathroom and veranda. The food is excellent. Fresh fruit was delicious and the fish fresh and tasty. We come from a home with dogs and we really like the Labradors which hung out with you and enjoyed a walk and a swim if you wanted company. They also keep tortoises which were amusing. I recommend a stay here for sure.

I had a wonderfully relaxing three nights at Royal Sakalava. The bungalows were spacious, clean, and comfortable, the staff delightful, and the location beautiful. They also serve a very good breakfast with a (very much appreciated) ample serving of coffee.

“We are not coming back to Sakalava. There are better options close to the hotel, along the beach.”
