Hotels with Swimming Pool in Madagascar

"The checkin process could’ve been easier if the “manager” wasn’t money hungry and lied to my face about the price per night I was being charged. She thought I wouldn’t catch it but it wasn’t my first time in Madagascar. I brought it to her attention and she lied repeatedly. She used a higher exchange rate than it was supposed to be. Blatant lies to my face and via WhatsApp. I was definitely overcharged which is what the booking site I used said as well. She tried to say my bank charged international fees which is crazy because how does she know who I bank with and their policies. That tells me she overcharges people regularly. There was no international fees. The final amount I was charged was exactly the amount she inflated. I went to the ministry of tourism and they didn’t help. They just called them and were in cahoots with them telling me I’m wrong. Numbers are numbers using exchange rates or not. I told her via WhatsApp that it’s a police issue now and suddenly the next day “accounting” corrected the problem and they gave me a refund of the difference. Aside from the blatant robbery the breakfast was subpar and I was there a week before my room was cleaned. Once I brought it to their attention they told me I had to leave the room key with them and let them know I want the room cleaned, which is odd for a hotel. They didn’t tell me that prior to checking in."

"This property is excellent and value for money. The staff are nice and friendly and willing to help at all times."

"Great hotel, value for money, the staff are friendly, rooms are reasonably clean, and the management are fair to the client, they allowed us to check in quiet early without surcharge. Highly recommended property, minutes away from the airport with free aiport shuttle."

"Stuff was wonderful "

"The room was nice but had bad smell of dead animal."

"Clean, friendly, fun. Made me feel like a family member"

"The room was clean and spacious "

"The hotel staff were great. Kind and friendly and most spoke English, so that was very helpful for me. The room was great. Only complaint was the shower doors were grinding on the floor when opening and closing, so it made a loud screetch everytime. My view from the room was spectacular. There are some bars and restaurants close by. I felt safe the whole time walking alone at night, but it is through some dark and dirty streets with the homeless around. But this might not be a good option for women traveling alone and wanting to walk everywhere. However, i felt really safe."

"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. "
