Hotel Gerard et Francine

For the team of the Hotel Gerard and Francine in Nosy Be, Madagascar, reception is an art and you will be received with all of our attention, treated like family; for you we offer a comfortable atmosphere, our reputation for this style of work is irrefutable and has been for the last 25 years in Nosy Be. It is a charming establishment made of modern, cozy, clean guest rooms; snuggle up between the Crater cliffs, the long beach of Ambatoloaka and its lagoon. More than the charm of the hotel here is the charm of an extraordinary garden on one of the most beautiful beaches of the Indien Ocean where you can watch the sunset. It is on this beach, each day, that the Hotel Gerard & Francine was constructed in 1988 amongst the tropical flower gardens and the palms where we enjoy the company of freedom, lemurs, hummingbirds, chameleons. One particular area of attention is providing the decoration of your rooms, using typical Malagasy architecture, traditional construction with wood floors and creole ceilings. Suggested thoughts before your visit here: The sexual tourism is an attack on human dignity, condemned by Malagasy law and International law and the Hotel Gerard et Francine does not tolerate any such violations.

Garden Oasis in a Strange Village

Reviewed By Eric R

The garden at G&F is tremendous, and the breakfast offered yummy mango and pineapple jam. I had the impression the bill included breakfast, but the hotel applied extra charges at check-out. Also, the food was très French--heavy on the carbs. The bartender, Usa, makes an excellent mojito though. While most staff were friendly, my travel speaker was stolen out of my room when I went to the beach. Luckily, I used the hotel safe for other valuable items. The owner and manager were pretty ambivalent and dismissive of the loss which was quite disappointing. Theft has the tendency to make you paranoid and feel vulnerable. At the same time, even though the town had some excellent dining options, the village is absolutely overrun with older European men exploiting younger Malagasy women or to be honest, vice versa. If you are not into sex tourism (or some sort of related theme), you are an outlier in Ambotoloaka. I would highly suggest staying further up the western coast of the island and visiting the town for a nice meal.

Nice location away from the town. Excellent pool. Good food. Nice staff. Thatched roof bungalows. Reasonable wifi. Verraux’s Sifakas come down to the hotel. Worth a few days stay if in the area. We used it as a base for birding and boating.

Reviewed By Sally R

We really enjoyed our stay at ylang hotel. The owner is lovely and couldn’t have been more hospitable and welcoming. You can tell the place hasn’t had much use since the pandemic however if you are looking for somewhere simple and homely to stay this place is perfect.

Sambatra Bed & Breakfast

Small Bed & Breakfast located right on the beach of Ambaro in the north-west coast of Nosy Be, in front of the island of Sakatia and the sunsets of Madagascar, 40 min from the airport and 20 min from the town of Hell Ville. The restaurant/snack bar is right on the beach where, in a warm and relaxed ambience, you can taste the dishes created by the Chef François or just have a cocktail while watching the beautiful sunsets of Madagascar. All the rooms are equipped with mosquito nets, fans and hot water.

Very friendly staff

Reviewed By aprilcrabb

Reasonably priced and cleaned rooms. The wifi that's available isn't always working or that fast, but they do offer it free. The staff are so friendly and helpful and went out of their way for me, lovely ladies! The hotel is also in good location close enough to everything but strategically located to also be quiet.

La Case Sakalava

Unique place to make the most of Nosy Be while relaxing

Reviewed By Mic_Or_Mac

We stayed 5 days but we could have stayed 500. The “Case” is located on top of a small hill at just 10-15 min walking from the beach, on the North of the island, which is beautiful and very quiet. Our room was simple, spacious, clean and overall very nice (if you open the door, you can see the ocean from the bed). The view from the rooms and the terrace where meals are served is gorgeous and sunsets over the oceans and Sakatia island breath-taking. Coralie makes very good meals, which change every day. The staff is very friendly. Natalie, the owner, knows everything about the island and is very helpful in providing information and organising activities/excursions. This is the perfect place to make the most of Nosy Be while relaxing in a unique and peaceful place.

Reviewed By Mat2818

This place is Great! Each bungalow overlooks the sea and garden which is full of beautiful, colorful plants everywhere. South Madagasy land turtles roam freely throughout the property and are not afraid of people. A cat family also lives here as do wild birds who come and feed from the perch set outside the dining area. The sunset is beautiful with a wide arrangement of colors like a rainbow and can be seen from most rooms. The rooms have been renovated with strong water pressure, hot water on demand and huge clean bathrooms furnished with towels, toilet paper and soap, and buckets to wash clothes or gear. The rooms open up to the garden, each with a private porch and lounge chairs with a table. Lots of places to hang wet clothes. The sleeping area has NICE new mattresses with fitted mosquito nets, lots of shelves that provide ample space for your things, a table, chair and safe. Two electric sockets are provided and also a fan. Filtered water is available in the kitchen. Bring your own water bottle. The staff in incredible! They will help you with anything you need. They are all friendly and keep the places looking clean and good. A short walk to the main street, but far enough to get away from the noise. TIPS: Bring mosquito repellent and your own water bottle.

Great owner

Reviewed By James R

This was a great find, it had a comfy bed, a good hot shower. Though famed for its pizzas we went when pizza was off the menu, however we had some very fine french dining. Located close to a bustling market (though up the hill, so not noisy etc) I would go if you get the chance! Like most of the places to stay in Madagascar this is great for a one night stay on a road trip!
