Away from it all
It is off the beaten track surrounded by beautiful gardens and highly perfumed flowers, a small hotel, it is secluded and very private but will all the requirements you need. Food is excellent, all kinds of facilities are available you only have to ask. It has a secluded private beach, a small infinity pool overlooking the sea. Scuba diving is amazing and local tours are amazing.

Fantastic!
This is a true paradis! A small Hotel/Lodge, with a very nice atmosphere. It is located far away from anything else and on the waterfront with an extraordinary view over the Indian Ocean. The villas are very nice, large and secluded. Very helpful and friendly staff. Professionally managed with a highly personal touch. Very good value. Exquisite cuisine with a varied menu. I highly recommend Manga Soa Lodge!

10 nights in Manga Soa lodge is a complete peaceful relaxation after working as volunteers in Arusha. The owners and staff accommodated all our needs and requests. Nothing is too difficult for them. The location, foods and accommodation is just perfect. Highly recommended to anyone who wants high quality service at very reasonable cost. Merci Elizabeth et Jean!

Manga Soa Lodge, NosyBe
Manga Soa Lodge was a good getaway and probably quite competitive in comparison to the other hotels/resorts at NosyBe. This is surely an eco lodge and the gardens are in a great condition and is looking great. The resort is very secluded - very good. The attention to detail, level of consistency in service and English communication could be an area for development for this resort. Also, all exclusive resorts/lodges we have ever stayed at had the airport transfers included. However, Manga Soa charged us approximately 20 euros for this. I feel this should be complimentary especially as they are so close to the airport. We also booked a day excursion and asked to visit Nosy Iranja, but then ended up visiting Nosy Komba and did an island tour etc. Having said all this, I celebrated my birthday there and they made an effort to made this special for me. I would recommend this lodge, but it is rather pricy.

A few days in paradise
I stayed for three days in March 2023 at Manga Soa Lodge. Like most hotels in Nosy Be the road leading to the hotel is not the best. But once you arrive you instantly feel that your are in paradise. I had my own lodge that the personnel kept very clean and tidy. The restaurant served excellent meals, needless to say the seafood is incredible. The staff will help you with arranging trips to other parts of the island. I had a great time in the Lokobe National Park. I hope to visit this amazing place again.

Struttura immersa nella natura, lontano dal caos
Resort immerso in una natura lussureggiante, lontano dal caos dei villaggi turistici e dalle spiagge più affollate. Il personale e’ attento ad ogni esigenza del cliente; i 6 lodge sono confortevoli e quelli con vista mare godono di un panorama unico. La colazione e la cena varie e di gusto. La spiaggia in bella posizione, ma purtroppo a causa della bassa marea non e’ possibile fare il bagno se non nel pomeriggio....... e l’acqua non e’ trasparente. Per raggiungere i luoghi di interesse l’unico modo e’ la macchina, che peraltro la struttura mette a disposizione, ovviamente pagando. La sera, stanchi delle escursioni era comunque un piacere rifugiarsi e godere della pace e del silenzio di questo resort.

Un petit coin de paradis
Même le chemin de terre quelque peu chaotique pour arriver à l’hotell est très vite oublié grace a l’accueil et la gentillesse de son personnel en particulier Dîna et Stevio. Un cadre traditionnel en bois de palissandre pour des lodges cachées derrière une forêt exotique méticuleusement entretenue. Ce lieu respecte les traditions tout en y ajoutant un grand confort . Tout est fait pour rendre votre séjour inoubliable et la cuisine est d’une qualité digne d’un grand restaurant. un «  must » pour un séjour loin de tout. Faisant face à l’ocean et les pieds dans la piscine n’oubliez pas de déguster un cocktail concocté par Stevio. Bravo Jean pour cet hôtel et pour votre gentillesse Merci à tous !
