Amazing villa and location, shame about the staff

Having travelled around Madagascar and had the most friendly welcome with reasonable customer service even in basic accommodation, I was slightly surprised by the 'can't be bothered' attitude of staff here. We had a welcome drink at check in but then were traipsed around the premises by someone who made no effort to talk to us, only to end where we started having carried our huge bags around with us. Perhaps rethink the order of this... Air Madagascar was on strike so we were struggling to get off the island but getting information from reception was like blood from a stone. They were also no help in helping us find a hotel in Tana as we had to leave a day early when our friends were in a much cheaper hotel down the road and the staff called around and found them somewhere. We asked if there was any chance of a refund as it was beyond our control. The answer was 'no' and a look like they'd just scraped something off the sole of their shoe.. the answer we expected but delivered in a shocking way!! The one time we wanted to use the pool they were using it for a diving lesson (3 groups in a small pool).

Excellent séjour dans un cadre magnifique, un site fabuleux, zéro moustique, un potager bio, le spa est de très haut niveau, le service excursion propose énormément de visites aussi bien terrestre que nautique, le propriétaire est très accueillant et au petit soin pour ses clients, le personnel est agréable et souriant, donc je repars avec pleins de bons souvenirs. De mon point de vue, il y a des petites choses à améliorer comme par exemple le wifi dans les chambres (uniquement présent au lounge) manque également la télé dans les chambres.

Esperava-se mais …

Hotel com necessidade de renovação dos quartos (antigo, espaço do duche pequeno, com as águas do banho a saírem facilmente do duche e com entupimentos constantes, cama desconfortável e almofada igualmente). Os pontos de rede de Wi-Fi existentes são muito fracos (mal vale não contar com o acesso). Foi solicitado que nos verificassem a questão da casa de banho, nada foi feito ou nos transmitido. Contudo, staff simpático.

Hotel da luna di miele su di un'isola sperduta

Il Princesse Bora è il classico hotel da sogno o da luna di miele, se vogliamo. Tutto è stato curato nei minimi dettagli fin dal nostro arrivo. Il direttore della struttura ci ha accolto con un the freddo fatto con frutta tropicale e ci ha spiegato tutto quanto potesse tornarci utile. Ci ha accompagnato in un breve tour dell'albergo e si è reso disponibile per qualsiasi nostra richiesta. La struttura è molto grande, fatta in stile villaggio. Include innumerevoli bungalow, tutti distaccati tra di loro, una bellissima SPA, tre bar e un paio di negozietti dove poter acquistare souvenir o escursioni. La camera non è grandissima, ma è davvero curata e ricorda i soggiorni che si vedono spesso nei film. Qualsiasi cosa è bella e funzionale. I bar e il ristorante sono ben forniti e offrono una cucina ricercata e gustosa, davvero non potrete mancare una cena presso l'hotel! La spiaggia è piccola, ma abbastanza curata (forse girando per l'isola si trovano angoli più paradasiaci). Se proprio volessi trovare una nota dolente, il wi-fi non funziona granchè bene, ma siamo pur sempre su di un'isola dispersa nell'oceano!
