Le Grand Bleu

This is a lovely hotel with a gorgeous infinity pool and dining area. The staff could not have been more friendly and kind. Thank you Dany!! The only reason we did not stay longer is because we wanted to be directly on the beach. The views of the water are fantastic so if you don’t want to be directly on the beach then this is a great spot!

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 atmosphere. 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.
