Villas de Vohilava

An absolute gem in Ile Sainte Marie! Can totally recommend it. The location is excellent (right on the beach), the bungalows are cosy and very clean, the food and drinks are delicious and the staff (including the owners) are very welcoming and client oriented! A real good value for money :)

Our stay at Vohilava was perfect for our family of 4. It is located conveniently close to the airport and day excursions including Ile Aux Nattes and Pirate Island. The staff was superbly hospitable, especially Kate and Josia who both spoke very good English. They were invaluable in helping us plan our itinerary and made us feel comfortable and safe. We look forward to returning in the future.

The beachfront can be tricky to swim in without water shoes although there is a nice swimmable section at the end of the hotel's pier. La Pointe Sud is a beautiful beach that isn't far to get to by Tuc Tuc.

Beautiful, spacious rooms right on the beach. Delicious breakfast, good range of drinks at the bar. Nice welcome juice.

The manager was away for several weeks before and during our stay and didn’t leave anyone in charge of emails or booking messages, so we just kept getting out of office responses. Lots of our questions before our booking went unanswered, including wanting to organise a transfer from the port as well as excursions. When we arrived, there was no one at reception to receive us and we had to wait around for a long while to be ‘allowed’ into our room. This was part of our honeymoon (we messaged this on booking) and as a result of the above felt that the customer service was really lacking. The other places we stayed in really made the effort to celebrate our special trip, but this went completely unacknowledged and even like we were an inconvenience.

Such an amazing place, so welcoming and warm staff, always with a smile on their faces and always ready to help you. The food was delicious also! We had such a good time with Kate, the manager, who organized a nice trip on the island for us, helped us with buying good quality vanilla, and pretty much helping with everything we needed ☺️ Emil was also super nice and prepared some good cocktails. You have to try their rum arrange (we ended up buying 3 bottles for taking home) and their puch coco 😍🍹 Definitely stay here when you are in Saint Marie!

Staff was great. Food was amazing. Best value for the price of amylase I have stayed in the past 5 years

Nothing

The service was wonderful … the staff were super amazing (all of them). The ambience and atmosphere were also very lovely and the sunset (Katie’s favorite) is definitely worth it. If one needs a tranquil place, this was certainly it. I had a really great time and certainly hope to come back. Oh and the food I also really enjoyed.

wonderful location and perfect views. Right on the beach and well placed for discovering the island. The staff were all excellent, friendly and attentive. Kate, the manager was superb. The food was great. We loved the island and didn’t want to leave.

Certainly one of the best places to stay in Sainte Marie, very helpful and kind staff with English language available, excellent restaurant with very good quality meals provided, frequently cleaned bungalows with all the amenities needed, spectacular beach front and extra services by requests, this is all for a reasonable price

The guests could encounter some of the fauna mostly common in Madagascar, but that just comes with the gig I guess

We had a fantastic stay at Villas de Vohilava. We have been looked after from the time of check-in till the transfer to the airport. We had our own villa with a living space, separate bedroom and a bathroom and a toilet. Villa is situated right on the beach and facing the ocean. The bed equipped with a mosquito nett which was very important for us and it gave us possibility to sleep with an opened window and enjoy the noise of the ocean. To all of these you have your own outdoor space where you can chill after your day. There is a restaurant withing the villas where we enjoyed our daily breakfasts and dinners. In addition, there is a pantone which you can use for sun-bedding and a swim. The last but not least is a staff! Everyone from the team was looking after us, listening our favours and anticipate with all our needs. During our stay we had a great birthday celebration, orginised by the team - private apero on the pantone, followed by dinner with a speacial menu. I can definitely recommend this place and hope to come back again!
