Very friendly and helpful personnel that looks not only after the accomodation and meals/drinks but also organizes and participates in excursions etc. Nicely situated on a - when we were there - rocky beach (apparently depends on currents).

A few days in paradise
I stayed for three days in March 2023 at Manga Soa Lodge. Like most hotels in Nosy Be the road leading to the hotel is not the best. But once you arrive you instantly feel that your are in paradise. I had my own lodge that the personnel kept very clean and tidy. The restaurant served excellent meals, needless to say the seafood is incredible. The staff will help you with arranging trips to other parts of the island. I had a great time in the Lokobe National Park. I hope to visit this amazing place again.

Bra
Fantastiskt! Enda minus är frukosten, hade förväntat mig bättre utbud. Dålig information om vad som ingår i frukosten. Och det finns inga restauranger i närområdet.

Struttura immersa nella natura, lontano dal caos
Resort immerso in una natura lussureggiante, lontano dal caos dei villaggi turistici e dalle spiagge più affollate.
Il personale e’ attento ad ogni esigenza del cliente; i 6 lodge sono confortevoli e quelli con vista mare godono di un panorama unico. La colazione e la cena varie e di gusto.
La spiaggia in bella posizione, ma purtroppo a causa della bassa marea non e’ possibile fare il bagno se non nel pomeriggio....... e l’acqua non e’ trasparente.
Per raggiungere i luoghi di interesse l’unico modo e’ la macchina, che peraltro la struttura mette a disposizione, ovviamente pagando.
La sera, stanchi delle escursioni era comunque un piacere rifugiarsi e godere della pace e del silenzio di questo resort.

Un petit coin de paradis
Même le chemin de terre quelque peu chaotique pour arriver à l’hotell est très vite oublié grace a l’accueil et la gentillesse de son personnel en particulier Dîna et Stevio. Un cadre traditionnel en bois de palissandre pour des lodges cachées derrière une forêt exotique méticuleusement entretenue. Ce lieu respecte les traditions tout en y ajoutant un grand confort .
Tout est fait pour rendre votre séjour inoubliable et la cuisine est d’une qualité digne d’un grand restaurant. un « must » pour un séjour loin de tout. Faisant face à l’ocean et les pieds dans la piscine n’oubliez pas de déguster un cocktail concocté par Stevio. Bravo Jean pour cet hôtel et pour votre gentillesse Merci à tous !

Away from it all
It is off the beaten track surrounded by beautiful gardens and highly perfumed flowers, a small hotel, it is secluded and very private but will all the requirements you need. Food is excellent, all kinds of facilities are available you only have to ask. It has a secluded private beach, a small infinity pool overlooking the sea. Scuba diving is amazing and local tours are amazing.

Fantastic!
This is a true paradis! A small Hotel/Lodge, with a very nice atmosphere. It is located far away from anything else and on the waterfront with an extraordinary view over the Indian Ocean.
The villas are very nice, large and secluded.
Very helpful and friendly staff. Professionally managed with a highly personal touch.
Very good value.
Exquisite cuisine with a varied menu.
I highly recommend Manga Soa Lodge!

A piece of paradise in Madagascar.
10 nights in Manga Soa lodge is a complete peaceful relaxation after working as volunteers in Arusha. The owners and staff accommodated all our needs and requests. Nothing is too difficult for them. The location, foods and accommodation is just perfect. Highly recommended to anyone who wants high quality service at very reasonable cost. Merci Elizabeth et Jean!
