The setting in a beautiful garden filled with birds away from the village was amazing. Beach is a five minute walk. Bungalows were comfortable & stylish. Dinner & breakfast were delivered to our veranda & were delicious. Nice homemade rolls at breakfast. Very nice friendly staff. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Beautiful location right on the beach and into the hillside gardens. Our family bungalow was really well appointed with 2 separate bedrooms and a big bathroom with lots of indoor and outdoor sitting space. We were direct on the beach to swim, kayak, play games and watch Komba life go by. The food was excellent - fresh and tasty and served in the communal area at the top of the resort where you can also relax, read, play games and drink cocktails. There are only 4 bungalows so it’s very peaceful and the service is very personal. Special thanks to Bruno and Franco for accommodating all our needs and taking us out on such special trips to Lokobe and Tanihely and to see the lemurs in the next village. The boat trip on our last evening to watch the sunset was particularly memorable.

We stepped off the boat onto the Coco Komba beach to a wonderful greeting by the owners followed by a family of lemurs. Our boys even got to feed them bananas (the lemurs, not the owners 😂). The family accommodation is really well designed and comfortable with 2 separate bedrooms divided by the bathroom and an outdoor sitting area. It’s located in the beautiful gardens and a fine viewing spot for the lemurs once more. The food was exceptional. Very thoughtful, very tasty and very well presented and served. We particularly enjoyed the whole crabs and the homemade bread, butter and jams. We really liked spending time relaxing at the beach, snorkelling out to the fantastic reef, the amazing sunsets and all the games and books provided. Big thanks to Patrick, Naik and the rest of the staff for making our stay so special and memorable!

Short version: stop looking and just book this amazons place. Longer version: we travel a lot and are a bit picky. This place really surprised us and was far beyond our (pretty high) expectations. Property: As there are only 4 chalets, it gives a very private and exclusive feeling. The chalets are simple but classy and beatiful and with amazing balconys and views. You could stay there all say - but don’t :) The outside environment is lovely with a beatiful garden with lots of trees, flowers and plants. The beach area is very pretty with comfy sunbeds and umbrellas perfectly placed in privacy. There are SUP boards and kayaks free of charge to use and you should! The sea is lovely, warm and safe and you can see fish and some turtles just swimming off the beach. The main building terrace where you have your meals is stunning with the most amazing view over the sea. If you are like us interested in birds you will be able to see some beautiful ones in the garden and from your balcony ! Food: We stayed for 9 nights and were never bored of the food. Breakfast is lovely with eggs, fruit and bread with a variety each day. Dinner is three courses and of course lo of focus on fish. Great, tasty and fresh food with lots of local produce. You can also get light lunches like a salad or a burger. Really good and very affordable. Service/staff: What makes this place so great is the people. Owners Sunette and Isak are just amazing warm and friendly hosts (and even more amazing persons !)and they Will make you feel like home (but better). Nothing is a problem, great attention to details and help with anything you need. For example great excursions for snorkeling and other stuff. Rest of the staff is also really great and you will be very well looked after. We really didn’t want to leave !! We had our last nights in another place on nosy be , was nice but far from this place. If I knew before I had definitely stayed here instead.

This place went behind our expectations. First of all the location:even if there is a path for the local people in front of the lodge, you practically have like a private beach for the resort itself. We must say we visited in November and the first 2 nights we were the only guests ( what a treat). The sea view bungalow was clean and spacious , the veranda and the sun beds a DREAM. We experienced a high level cuisine thanked to a very young talented chef. Maurice took care of us in a very good way. We appreciated the high speed free internet , the sunset, the perfect massages, the snorkel just in front of the lodge and the private atmosphere of the 5 bungalows. We are happy to come back. The owner Berenice helped us solving a small issue, she was very kind even if we only just spoke on the phone. I hope this place will stay like this, secluded and peaceful. We slept very well . I m a host too , working in tourism since 25 years and appreciate the commitment of the other host like Mme Berenice.
