Hôtel La Pirogue

The location of the hotel is amazing, surrounded by palm trees in a big white sand beach. Not many people around, beautiful sunset and sunrise. Careful with currents in surrounding of hotel but at hotel no problem. The gardens and trees around hotel are great. Room is correct, shower has almost no water running when warm/hot. Dinner (specially the tuna, pasta and desserts) was amazing but it took more than one hour to arrive. Recommended completely. They have petanque.

The food is delicious (and we're really picky), and we made a mistake walking down the road the first night to eat at another restaurant, due to reviews saying wait times were really long here. The chicken in coco sauce was deliciously flavorful and rich and the chocolate eclair was perfectly decadent. Eggs at breakfast have been perfectly cooked for sunny-side up with yolks still runny, as requested. (this was a first! in nearly a month of requesting this style). The rooms are clean and large but very spare. The mosquito netting had some holes. The water gets hot, but the pressure is low and the shower is awkward, trying to avoid wetting the entire bathroom. Service is super friendly and accommodating, despite our lack of speaking French, and their limited English.

Over priced overall and food at the restaurant was very bad. We had shrimps and vegetables that were not fresh at all. Rooms are old. We wanted to cancel a night from our trip ad they never wanted to refund us. There are other hotels that are much better than this in Mahambo!

We booked a standard room because we hoped the weather would be nice and we would mainly be outside. It rained for 24h straight. Shower with 6 cockroaches when we arrived. Everything smelled and was humid. Sink not draining. Staff not much on the side of pleasing the customer. The bright side was the food: expensive but very tasty. Nice atmosphere 👌 by the dinning room. And that was the only place where we could seat without being soaked wet. Don't be fooled by the advertisement for the billiard, it's been broken for 3 months.

Awesome experience in La Pirogue, everything was perfect: the view, the room, the staff and the food. I would definitely come back anytime! snorkeling and kayaking are included in the price! Thank you for the amazing experience!

Had only one night stay at this hotel and felt it deserved a longer stay. The restaurant and the lounge area, and the outside areas were exquisite. The dinner we had here was amazing and I think the freshly squeezed juices they do have been the best ones we tasted in our 18 days vacation in Madagascar. 💙

A little heaven on earth, super service and staff really good price. Perfect to disconnect

Beautiful garden resort! The only place who had an open restaurant during low season. Very open air bungalows that are clean and have a Malagasy interior design to it. The team was fantastic at helping us find an alternative route to Sainte Marie when our boat got cancelled. Many thanks and all the best
