Guest Reviews

Kite spot is amazing ,
Good selection of daily meals , bar 😎, makes it a unique place there you really want to go back to again .
Great ownerships keeps an eye on all aspects of service and safety , very clean.
- Rizcate (8/5): Super séjour et le personnel de l’hôtel est formidable. - Le cadre est magnifique L’hôtel est isolé et difficile d’accès ce qui rend la marche impossible pour en dehors de l’hôtel pour rejoindre la route principale. La route est également compliqué à prendre.
- Joséphine (10/5): -
- christelle (9/5): - Le personnel, notamment la personne qui m'a accueillie a été formidable ; attentive, accueillante, disponible... Le chef cuisto particulièrement doué avec une cuisine très fine, des repas succulents. Le lieu isolé, calme et très beau
- Alexandra (10/5): Superbe - Le staff et la vue Pas de savon, la douche à l’eau salée un peu dur si on reste longtemps
- Asia (10/5): - Отель расположен идеально в середине лагуны, отличные условия для катсерфинга.
Ресторан с разнообразными блюдами, меню меняется каждый день. В номерах идеально чисто. Территория отеля не большая, но все бунгало расположены обособленно, перед каждым есть небольшая приватная площадка с диваном , не большим столом и сушилкой для вещей. Отличный массаж
Персонал помогает во всем, очень очень приветливая атмосфера!!!
- Carina (10/5): - The location right next to the beach was amazing. The food was great and the personnel was very friendly No wifi in the rooms
- Hanta (9/5): Malgré tout, on a passé un agréable séjour. Le personnel est au petit soin. - La propreté, les équipements et le personnel L’hôtel est éloigné de la ville et il faut marcher au moins 700 m avant d’arriver à l’hôtel
- Arianna (9/5): Kite paradise - Hotel proprio sullo spot kite. Location perfetta. Bello il box kite per lasciare attrezzatura. Ristorante molto buono con tre scelte ogni sera. Staff carino e attento. Ottimi cocktail Purtroppo non c’è acqua dolce ma solo acqua salata.
- Mattia Francesco (10/5): - Perfect position to the kite spot Nothing
- JEAN RENE (6/5): Séjour agréable et reposant - Le cadre et la vue des skysurf La sécurité au niveau des chambres
- Goran (8/5): Fantastic for kitesurfing as the wind always blow. - Friendly staff and close to beach. Only saltwater in shower.
Road to get there.
- Fanny (9/5): Superb -
- Melody (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marcel (10/5): Great stay :) - Emma and Ariane were so nice :). Food was also very delicious.
- Adonis (9/5): Wingfoil & kitesurf paradise - Madakitecamp felt surreal right off the bat. I was a bit nervous because the photos and reviews looked too good to be true, but they were exactly as described. When you're brought there on the Sakalava Bay it feels like you've arrived in paradise. White Sand Beach, beautiful sunrise, and glistening still water.
The staff were extremely friendly, and spoke enough English to make conversation. The manager spoke fluent English and french, and was available to help. I did wingfoil lessons and really enjoyed the coaching that the English teachers Stan and Romain provided. The latter even showed me the old baobab near the village. I've also heard from my brother and other people that this is an amazingly unique place to (learn to) wingfoil, kitesurf or windsurf. The huge bay is not busy at all (max 20 people. Usually <10) so it's easy to get into.
There was a daily menu with about three starters (-+€3) , plates (-+€6) , and desserts (-+€3) each to choose from. There is a wide arrangement of cocktails (-+€3) and fresh juice from local produce.
The bungalow itself was nice and clean. We were with three people in a bungalow with an ocean view, and it truly was an ocean view. It didn't take more than 20 steps to be in the water. Everyday you have the option to give off your key, which allows the staff to clean your bungalow, this is a thorough cleaning as they even fold your clothes (takes about an hour). Clothes can also be cleaned for about 5 euros. The only downside about it is that the toilet is not fully closed off to the bathroom, and the bathroom only has a curtain separating it from the living room. Although there are enough windows to open to let everything air out. We also never had any problems with the wifi. It was stable and fast. Also available throughout the restaurant and nearby beds.
We also didn't encounter any mosquitos (august/september), but even if we thought they might go in, there is a proper protection around each bed. There are some minor downsides. The place is not easy to access. It takes about half an hour through rough terrain (offroad) to get to the bay area. This also means that if you want to do anything other than explore the area you need a taxi. The hotel does provide this for a price. (-+€25 round trip to the city). Furthermore, as I've said previously there are only about three options for a main dish and pizza (you can ask for something else but you need to do that the day before or get lucky) so that means that sometimes there is just nothing you really like on the menu. Sadly there is no refrigerator in the bungalow so trying to make something ourselves was also out of the picture. These are just minor inconveniences though, as we were there for almost three weeks so they are bound to show up.
An important tip that we learned a little late is that you can order your lunch and dinner ahead of time so that they already start cooking and reserve the ingredients. This reduces waiting times by a lot and ensures that your favorite meal is still available!
- Lara (10/5): Possibly one of the most amazing places I've ever been - This was one of the most amazing places I have ever stayed in.
When we arrived, I was stunned at the beauty of the Bay of Sakalava... and then met by the kindest staff, welcomed like family and handed a delicious fruit juice :)
The whole stay was amazing, from the kite surfing lessons in such a safe environment, to the amazing food and honestly the best hotel team ever.
I would HIGHLY recommend Madakite camp and I cannot wait to come back - I'm already planning my next trip!
It's the kind of place you can't quite believe exists and you wish you could stay forever.
- Sara (1/5): Wouldn’t stay here for free - Nice view. Nice room. Good kite school. Ok food. We booked to stay here 3 times and 3 times Jerome the owner cancelled on us a few hours before even though we had booked a week in advance. We met a lot of people he does this to and he works with Royal Sakalava and has guests stay there instead for 84€. He picks and chooses whoever pays more or longer and whoever books directly at his website.
He threatened us with “we should have booked at his website instead, there is no guarantee with booking.com”
Lots of guests have problems with him and he is probably one of the top 10 rudest people I have ever met. And I work in hospitality and customer service business for over 18 years now. Really a shame for this hotel to even be on booking.com if the owner is entitled to cancel on customers a few hour before and have such utter disregard and disrespect for customers.
Raphael a hotel next door at kiteparadise gave us his emergency room and says he constantly has people coming over upset.
Shower pressure is really bad in upper rooms.
- Julianne (10/5): Excellent location and rooms, great food, and very friendly staff and clientele! -
- Ning (9/5): Superb - I enjoyed 2 nights in Madakitecamp. Very nice view and friendly and helpful staff.
