excellent hotel great setting, top service !
I loved the beach the restaurant, the bar, the staff were very friendly, helpful and spoke good English all which is a bit of a premium in Madagascar. I love it and think it is a perfect weekend getaway from Tana, I will definitely come here again. Many thanks to all for making my stay such a great experience. The Wales, quad biking, the boat trips ... all great !

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).

Das ganze Personal ist sehr bemüht und freundlich, wenn man über kleinen Unzulänglichkeiten hinweg sieht, ist das Princess Bora auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Vor allem die Lage der Strandvillen ist ein Traum. Das Frühstück könnte ein wenig umfangreicher sein.

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.

bungalows noyés dans la verdure face à la plage: détente au calme assurée, avec couchers de soleil depuis la varangue de la chambre! Ni télévision ni wifi dans les chambres: on profite de la nature, des amis et des activités proposées par l'hôtel (sorties en mer, excursions en 4x4, etc) Très bonne cuisine servie au restaurant face à la mer par un personnel attentionné et toujours souriant.
