The good: The lady at the front desk was very nice Needs improvement: Room and property were run down and a bit dirty, air conditioner was not powerful enough to actually cool the room, all four pools were green with algae, food was quite bad and there were few dining options (no room service, very limited ability to eat outside of the buffet)

Comfortable - nice hotel - but restaurant average
Nice hotel, very comfortable and clean. Beach is reasonable, but not excellent. Upgraded room on arrival which was lovely. Negatives : the food was great, but lacking in choice. 2 out of the 4 white wines were unavailable, as were other simple ingredients which were on the menu: i.e. vanilla ice cream! The service in the restaurant was inattentive. Everything was quite pricey in comparison to the rest of Madagascar (and indeed Nosy Be)

Spacious room - nice hotel
The rooms are the best thing about this place! Very large with huge balconies with drying racks and a large bathroom. Lovely decorations. The spa is also quite nice and the landscaping well done. Don't eat at the restaurant. Some staff in the bar are surly and the orders and bills were always wrong. They try, but for the price it is not worth it. There is a cute beach-front café less than five minutes walk down the beach (next to Sakalava Dive) that has good, inexpensive food and a big menu (though service is also slow). Hotel is good for breakfast though. The desk staff were always pleasant and helpful. There is a well-stocked gift shop and a tours desk where it is easy to book excursions for the next day or later in the week. They have two pools, but chairs in the shade are limited.

Obstructed Ocean View
Perfect location, gorgeous setting. The hotel itself needs a major upgrade (i.e. decaying wood around the pool area; cheap, unattractive room decor). Looking shabby with the years. The personnel were friendly enough but we felt we were being fleeced at every encounter & transaction. So-called room-with-an-ocean-view had a ceiling overhang that obstructed half of the view. Restaurant menu was sparse, food quality mediocre and quality to price severely lacking. We were very disappointed overall with the experience. We would not go back to this hotel.

Incredible and lovely attention to detail
I found the hotel's decor very attractive. The dark lacquered wood on the main hotel walkway, kept up immaculate created a luxurious feel. The room was a good size, it was spotless and the terrace overlooking the ocean was superb. The decorations in the room and the main lobby were outstanding. The toiletries in the bathroom however, were inadequate and did not correspond to the status of the hotel as a spa. I could not use them. The personnel overall were friendly and attentive. The restaurant was very good, too.

Our ocean suite room was located in front of the beach, so we could enjoy our morning walk & watch sunset in the evening. We also enjoyed some excursion tours booked through the tour desk. Quality of the buffet foods were nice, but it would be even better if there's an option of a la carte menu as we ended up to be tired of buffet dinner. All the staffs were very friendly and we had a great time on New Year's Eve. Overall, we were very happy to stay at Vanila Hotel.

Top Quality Resort great for Families
The rooms were clean and the service was friendly. The restaurant also offered a more private alternative to the buffet and served great food. The hotel was very well maintained with a beautiful garden and several sparkling swimming pools. There is an onsite travel provider for easy arranging of excursions around the island. If you like quiet resorts then you will probably be quite happy here. The only drawback was the wifi access which was relatively expensive and needed to be repurchased every 20 MB.

Comfortable Lodge With Lovely Gardens
Hotel is situated about 45 mins from airport, 20 mins from Hellville. Not really much else nearby but its a nice hideaway with clean and comfortable rooms ... we stayed in the most basic class of huts which were comfortable but not luxurious. Main pool is small and right in front of the dining room which is odd, but there are other options in the lovely gardens at the edge of the property. Also a nice bar/cafe near these. Food was good, catering manager very enthusiastic and informative.

Le Vanila Hôtel & spa est exactement comme présenté sur le site d’Expedia. Nous avons apprécié la qualité de l’acceuil dés notre arrivée et le personnel à notre disposition pour de très bons conseils. Les excursions proposées nous permettent de vraiment découvrir l’ile de Nosy Be et les îles paradisiaques environnantes avec un très bon rapport qualité/prix D’autre part, on se sent en sécurité la nuit dans cet hôtel en bord de plage ou le personnel de sécurité y est présent en permanence Côté restauration, on dira qu’au bout de 5 jours il faut obligatoirement passé au menu du jour Le menu à la carte étant vite parcouru.
