Andasibe Lemurs Lodge

This was the first stop on our 2 week Madagascar trip. My friend booked the entire trip, so I had no idea what to expect. After a long travel day from South Africa to Madagascar, we had about a 4 hour drive from the airport to this spot. Our driver got us in at dark. We still had time for dinner (dinners & breakfasts were included). The lady at the front was very helpful and got us checked in fast. The cabins are cute and have nice showers and comfy beds. The food was great and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Justin was exceptionally helpful and spoke a good amount of English. The bartender also spoke a good amount of English and can make you a good drink:) We went to the national and local park, along with the night hike. We used the tour guide Tu Chu, which is the best tour guide out there. He speaks very good English, and can find the smallest Lemur or lizard. We saw so many Lemurs on our 3 separate tours with him. He is very accommodating on what type of tour you are looking for. I would highly recommend him:)

Rooms are spacious but there is a lack of appeal and attention to details. Several things were broken in the room, hand towels were missing, the mirror is way too low, there was a big stain on the sofa and everything looks very cheap despite the price. Food at the restaurant is very expensive, small portions and not particularly good, and service very slow. The pool is nice.

We had a very good time at Andasibe Lemours Lodge during our visit to the National Park. The rooms were very spacious and the hotel enjoys a very nice setting, near a river and green woods. The restaurant was a very good surprise - the food was excellent, both for bearkfast and dinner. Some of the facilities - bridge at the main entrance - were still being repaired due to the cyclone that had hit this part of Madagascar a few months before our stay. The rooms were a little bit cold. A couple of extra heaters would make them perfect.

New and luxury hotel in Andasibe but the road to go there was smaller and always need 4x4 car. Price bit expensive for us but we was on holiday so that's ok. The hotel accept credit cards and has helpful employees very important for us.
