Le Grand Bleu

Absolutely awesome place. Hotel personal is very friendly and helpful. If you need anything, don't be shy to ask. Owner of the place is absolutely great in accommodating your every demand. Please say "HI" to him. :) Room was super clean. Hotel ground is very well taken care of. It's not a Marriott, you will possibly have geckos in your room.

Lovely bungalow with sea view, hammock on the terrace and a comfy chair. Bar was peaceful with a nice a**osphere. Manager was very helpful and friendly. Assisted us with transport for when we went diving. Had tortoises to watch and plenty of different flavoured runs to try.

After a physically gruelling two and a half weeks of hiking, climbing, driving, snorkelling and boating in Madagascar, we arrived at Le Grand Bleu, Andilana, Nosy Be. Nestled away from the dusty roads, throngs of people, hawkers and beggars, we were thrilled to find an idyllic oasis where we could relax and regroup before our seventeen hour flight home. For two full days we luxuriated beside an infinity pool that overlooked the Indian Ocean. We feasted on delicious breakfasts and dinners. The half fare, excludes lunch, was well worth the 24 Euros. The hotel which is run by a fellow Canadian, as we found out, exudes a level of tranquillity and hospitality that is perfect for rest and relaxation. Denys and his wife are very welcoming as are their staff. Each bungalow has its own porch with a hammock that rocks you to rest as the gentle breezes blow in from the ocean. The room itself is simple yet very comfortable. The a/c is on from 6:30pm to 6:30am to guarantee a pleasant night although we really didn’t need it. Much as we wanted to get home and be with our families, we found it very hard to leave this delightful place; we could’ve stayed an additional week there. For anyone travelling to Nosy Be, Madagascar, we highly recommend you stay at Le Grand Bleu. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip.

Up a hill on a 2 track road, then lots of solid stone steps to a breath taking hilltop view of the ocean and other nosys (sp?) - this is a great little hotel. The scale is just right for some R&R (which we did for 2 days) or as a base to explore the area (most other guests). Our bungalows were close to the lobby/bar/ dining room and pool, and were adorable! Quiet, clean, windows on 3 sides, a porch with a hammock and a view of the ocean. Food was good, a choice of 2 or 3 entrees, staff were lovely - competent, assured, and kind. The hotelier, Denys, was very much on hand, and that involvement showed in how seamlessly things seemed to run. All in all, a terrific little hotel.

Lovely we’ll run hotel. Owner very pleasant and involved with ensuring guests are comfortable. Food amazing. Ambience relaxing and comfortable. Staff extremely helpful and pleasant. Would recommend this hotel highly.

I stayed here with my wife for our honeymoon. The experience was nothing short of excellent. Our hosts Dany & Aria really went the extra mile at every turn. The food was very good. The staff were excellent especially Thor and Letitia. Our hosts organised some really great excursions for us and a fantastic live music evening. The days spent by the pool in the sun were the best. Very peaceful. Rooms were quaint and comfortable. I would stay here again and recommend the hotel to friends.

We had a wonderful stay at Le Grand Bleu Nosy Be. The staff is welcoming and very friendly. We enjoyed the swimming pool and the excursions from the hotel (VTT, boating and snorkeling). Thanks to Dany and his team for a memorable stay.

We loved our vacation at Grand Bleu Nosy Be. Thank you to Dany and Aria who took such good care of our family. The food was delicious, the activities were fun and the pool is lovely. We'll be back next year! I recommend without hesitation ＜3

Wow wow, our stay here was incredible. My husband and I came here on our honeymoon and this experience was incredible, beyond our expectations. The staff were so friendly and attentive, the hotel was so beautiful and personal. Special mention to the owners Dany and his wife Aria who went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay. The food was delicious and we were able to order fresh seafood every day. Cocktails were delicious too. Dany organised so many excursions for us so we truly had a remarkable experience in Nosy Be and saw so many islands. We went snorkeling with turtles and there were so many species of lemurs! The view from the hotel pool was spectacular and our room overlooked the ocean with a hammock to relax in. This place was paradise and it made our honeymoon so special.
