After staying at a few indifferent hotels (as expected) on our wildlife tour of Madagascar. It was good for the soul, to stay a few days at a hotel where all was as you wanted it to be. Gorgeous setting, stylish comfortable accommodation with lovely touches and excellent service. The gardens and grounds around the hotel were almost as rich... More

Superbly designed to fit into the rocky surrounds of this magnificent area in Madagascar. The individual chalets are well appointed and beautifully set in the grounds of the main hotel. The food was all well-prepared though we had the occasional problems ordering for a group (of 13) where numbers and choices became somewhat mixed up. This could probably be overcome... More

Comfortable room, lovely setting, good food, attentive and helpful staff - they even went to the trouble of cooking vegetarian Malagasy food for me. The patio outside our room was a sun trap, very welcome on a chilly afternoon. The rooms are cleverly laid out so that the patios feel very private, though they are actually very close to each...

It was the best hotel we stayed at in Madagascar, comfortable room, lovely massage, beautiful pool, friendly staff

This hotel was the highlight of our trip to Madagascar. Beautiful location, very good food and friendly staff. Excellent access to the great hiking area of Isalo, including the Piscine Naturelle, Blue Pool and Black Pool. Lemurs were plentiful on the hikes and I even got a mid-air shot of a sifaka leaping from tree-top to tree-top across the stream.

Never expected to find this kind of hotel in Madagascar... Surrounding is absolutely magnificent and hidden in the hills is this beautiful little retreat... I felt a bit out of place entering this classy place in my safari kit but lucky for me I brought some nice skirts and a clean shirt along. The rooms are 4 by 4 in... More

This hotel suffered a tragic fire in their main lobby, bar and restaurant in July 07. They are currently rebuilding. For the meanwhile everyone staying at the Relais the opportunity to eat their meals at the much superior Jardin de Roy. The Jardin in a newer and more luxurious property. If you can afford it (paying with euros and not... More

It was probaly the most amazing hotel we saw during our 2-week vacation in Madagascar. It is composed by various units, all build in natural stone which matches perfectly with the naked mountains surrounding the hotel. Yet, the rooms are large and with all comforts. The view from the hotel is breathtaking. Quality standards are very high under all perspectives.... More
