Hotel ECOLODGE LE RAVORAHA

The staff were amazing. Great personality, very friendly and helpful. Could not fault the staff members. Breakfast and food was also very good.

The rooms are very old, needs renovation. Smell of mould and burning rubbish coming from neighbours next door. The smoke was really bad sometimes. The mats also had a bad smell and needed a good wash. The shower was really bad. You have to hold it with one hand to try to have a shower. It wasn’t clean.

Excellent location, nice private beach, great decoration and atmosphere! Staff were helpful and friendly, especially Sam who made the best cocktails!

The rooms were quite small. There were some bugs in the bathrooms. There were local kids playing nearby which was lovely, however, they would "invade" the private beach and your personal space. This could be a bit annoying when you wanted to relax and enjoy the sun.

I stayed in the treehouse which was a magical set up. You have your own little beach area with loungers which is great to have. It's a perfect location if you are flying as it's right beside the airport. If arriving by boat it's a bit away and you'll need a tuk tuk for 25k. The snack food is nice that I tried. Nice long stretch of beach you can walk along. The snorkeling is fabulous just out the front of the resort off shore. So much to see and very little urchins. Make sure to bring your own snorkel as the resort did not have any (currently broken). There was one lady staff member (apologies I didn't get her name) but she was so helpful on reception/breakfast? Very happy to help and helped me arrange my issues with the ferry company to leave the island. She spoke a little English., Enough to understand and very friendly.

Infront of the treehouse there is a local lady selling some crafts which made me feel a little uncomfortable although she did not bother beyond asking once and offering massage. Personally I would prefer none of this within the resort boundaries. Breakfast is basic and not the tastiest so this could use improvement with more choice. Also as mentioned in other reviews no onsite dinner restaurant only snack food (a little pricy for what it is) and this closes along with beach bar at 7pm, which is very early. So you need to go find proper meals elsewhere. A big shame and really missing a trick here. WiFi is only in the breakfast/lounge area so unfortunately your hopes of working by the pool/beach is not achievable. It's a very small resort where WiFi could easily be made to reach all areas and rooms, something to improve on to offer a better experience for future guests. The resort is located right beside local houses and especially for the treehouse you will be woken up by children early morning, so it's not the most peaceful. Generally during the day its ok however on one day the beach on the resort had many kids who were loud and would swim very close to you, not ideal. With all that being said it is still a very nice place and if those few minor things were improved on it could be a great place.

The swimming pool is a great luxury to have and the location is ideal as it’s walking distance from the airport. The staff were all lovely too (especially Sam). The beach front is beautiful and it’s endearing watching the local children playing after school.

It felt a bit like a Thailand/Bali hotel. Although I have no problem with this, it feels unnecessary given the beautiful surrounding and culture. Also, it was our most expensive stay yet they didn’t give any complementary water and the bar/restaurant closes at 7. This caused a problem on our first night as we got back after 7 and were incredibly thirsty. In addition they didn’t recommend any local restaurant to compensate for the fact they they don’t actually serve dinner on site (only ‘snack’ meals).

Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Great cocktails at beach bar. Fresh homemade bread for breakfast.

More greens and salads on the snack menu. Restaurant closes at 19h00.
