Loharano Lodge

We chose this hotel based on its high rating on this site and we were right. We booked a deluxe room (bungalow), a very spacious room with panoramic windows, a wide and very comfortable bed, a very large bathroom, beautiful room design. Hot and cold water flowed well. The Internet worked in the room. It is nice to sit on the sofa or in the hammock on the terrace in the evening. We were very pleased with the room, it fully matches the picture. I recommend booking only a deluxe room (a separate bungalow). There are swimming pools next to the bungalow, there are several on the hotel grounds, a few minutes along the path to the beach. The bungalow is quiet, you can't hear or see your neighbors, privacy is ensured. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners were held in the restaurant at a certain time, excellent fish, I highly recommend the seafood salad, a good omelet in the morning. The general manager of the hotel Alberto was always interested in the guests, their stay, he cares about everyone, is involved in the work of the hotel, he also reported on the renovation of the rooms and territory. Very green territory, looks well-groomed, lots of plants, trees, flowers, everything smells delicious and blooms. It's nice to walk around the territory, took lots of beautiful photos. The staff is constantly doing something, trimming, cleaning, caring. There are comfortable chairs and a rocking bed on the beach. Every morning a boat is organized to Sakatia Island for hotel guests, where you can swim and sunbathe. The hotel is very good and fully meets its rating, in some respects - even higher. The hotel organized a transfer to the airport, a good car and a polite driver. Our recommendations for a vacation.

Discovery of this hotel for the day with lunch, a park and a breathtaking swimming pool, just huge and spotless, all this by the sea. At the table it's not the same music, a menu poor to die for and no fries!!! Incredible, despite an advance order we have lunch 45 minutes late, god it's long long long......zero organization on the other hand food quite decent, shame in this magical setting, many possible avenues of improvement on the catering side, a beautiful day all the same.....

The Loharano is a small, delightful hotel where a magical atmosphere reigns. Clean, impeccable service, excellent food. The bungalows are really nice. The very well-kept garden surrounds a swimming pool where in the afternoon you can relax after spending an intense day touring enchanting places. If you want, in the morning, for free, a boat will take you to the beach of Sakatia, a small island right in front of the hotel so as not to be affected by the tidal phenomenon that is present on the beach in front of the hotel. What can I say, a corner of paradise where silence, tranquility and relaxation reign. The only thing they could have offered is free wi-fi in common areas, something that is found in other hotels. As for excursions, however, as we know there is always indecision about who to trust. The staff you find in the hotel or the beach boys? Nothing against the beach boys. On other trips I have also happened to trust them and I have not had any problems. But this time I had no doubts, not even for a moment. The prices have a non-substantial difference and both the staff that accompanies you and the boats used to reach the islands that are sometimes even an hour and a half away by boat, must, in my opinion, be reliable and up to the task. Furthermore, missing the opportunity to spend a few days in the company of the guys from Loharano Excursion is truly a shame. They are wonderful, really. A special thanks therefore goes to Paolo, Nestor, Adolf and Nicoletta who with their professionalism, enthusiasm, cheerfulness and joy of living have made this holiday unforgettable. It is not the first trip I have taken in my life and I have also had a good time in other places, but this time it went beyond expectations. Without you, Madagascar would not have had the same flavor. I will be back very soon!!!!!

We spent an unforgettable week in this fantastic place, pampered by the people who work there, especially by Tina, the manager, always attentive to our needs. The bungalows are beautiful and well furnished in full Malagasy style, the resort is very well cared for in detail and very clean; the two swimming pools are located in the center and are surrounded by the bungalows. Access to the beach is direct and you can use hammocks, sunbeds, deckchairs and even double swing beds! The resort offers a free shuttle service to go to the splendid beach of the island Nosy Sakatia; because due to the alternating tides some beaches are not the best. The kitchen, while maintaining traditions, offers a varied menu that adapts to the tastes of the guests, always fresh fish, vegetables and various meats including zebu. The best was our romantic dinner on the veranda of the bungalow, served by Ronaldo with a lot of lobster! To complete it all, the friendliness and professionalism of Paolo and his team who accompanied us on the various excursions, absolutely not to be missed Nosy Yranja, Nosy Tanikely and Nosy Komba, the Lokobe forest is also beautiful; what struck us is the passion with which these guys make you immerse yourself in the culture and traditions of these people. Recommended for everyone, especially those who want to spend a holiday in complete relaxation, totally immersing themselves in the knowledge of the places and in close contact with nature and animals. Thanks to all the guys on the Loharano staff, we hope to come back soon to visit you! Ludovica and Michele
