Hotel Océan Beach Sakatia

As everyone has commented, the food was fantastic. Very fresh fish and zebu steaks prepared with fresh vegetables and nice sauces. Great breakfast with both coffee and tea, fresh juice and fruit and crepes. Although probably expensive by local standards, it felt like a very fair price for a full day of food. The Island is beautiful, very quiet and well kept social space and beautiful gardens with flowers, palm trees, banana trees etc. You have access to your own private beach with deck chairs, towels and umbrella and the view from the bungalows is beautiful. This is a place to relax but wifi is very good - better than in a lot of places. You can hike around the Island and go into the village which is on a beach (30-35 min walk) and also the manager is good at organising activities such as boat tours around the islands and to swim with turtles! All the members of staff are really great and try to engage in conversation- both French and English if possible. I needed to head to the town for medicine and I was kindly escorted by a member of staff for which I am very grateful and appreciative.

I would advise to prepare before coming - some of the mosquito nets are ripped but even without this, the bungalows do see a lot of insects inside so bring insect repellent - I believe you can ask at Reception for mosquito incense (otherwise really difficult to sleep). Do come prepared for unforeseen emergencies as there is only a small dispensary in the village and no other access to pharmacy / doctor on the island itself but rather on Nosy Be which is not too far but far enough to take a full day to get to and back again.

The staff is very friendly and the chef’s cooking is just awesome. Thank you chef Patrick!

The manager was very helpful with everything we wanted and needed. We had beautiful bungalows with sea views up on the hill. The beach was clean and there were shaded places to lie on beds on the beach. The cove is lovely and private and we watched turtles come up for air in the bay. Welcome drinks and hot cloths were a nice touch. We walked to the village which is on a stunning beach, 30 min walk where you see Lemurs, chameleons, frogs, crabs etc. take the time to look for wildlife. At the beach village there are a few places to get a drink and a meal. take a boat to swim with the turtles at high tide as they are massive and just hang out eating the sea grass. It’s magical.

Staff was nice

Location not good for Snorkeling, you have to cross the entire island to find good spots. Good food but Overpriced.

The location is great in terms of sea and the little bay where is located. There are no amenities around a part a small villagge accessibile with 30 min walk or by boat. I liked the nature.and possobiluty to see turtles,whales and shark whales. I found it great for few days relax and sea activities.

Not ideal if you expect any sort iof sociale life. In the island there is only small local village. The bungalow are spacious but more care should be put in ensuring functionality including Matteesses, towels door safe. In general the services was BASIC and not muvh care given by the manager to improvvisamente itm

staff are so nice, quiet location no atms far from other areas but super nice for relaxation time! beautiful area and great apartments

wifi isn’t great and they don’t accept card payments!

Very nice place, friendly people!, great service and food. The cook is really really good and a very special person ;) Thank you!
