Royal Andilana Resort & Spa

Had the most phenomenal stay at Royal Andilana! The property is beautiful, with a stunning beach and hibiscus flowers everywhere. You'll also see turtles, bunnies, and even chameleons roaming around which is something I really liked. Rooms are spacious as well, with nice balconies, and they provide guests with a beach bag too. Then there's the staff who really made my stay special. Shoutouts to Landricia and Tatiana from the animation team for their kindness and also to Lyana at the front desk for being so helpful.

I spent one week together with my wife in January 2025, room 127. I would say, that the cleanliness of the rooms, amenities and the garden maintenance is definitely - 5 stars. Comfort of rooms and sleep is however not perfect, as the ac is to small for the large room area - 4 stars The food quality is average and variety small. There is only one restaurant open daily and one bar on the beach. One more restaurant is on the beach which is open once a week but we didn’t go there. All inclusive is in fact not all inclusive, as you have to pay extra for water and coffee. Some alcohols like beer and cheap spirits are free but I didn’t drink alcohol, as I was on detox routine, so paying extra for bottled water and coffee is not what I would expect in all inclusive good hotel - 2,5 stars The area is very small and surrounded from all sides by local people living there in tents, huts. They are quite noisy, doing their tasks, making food on fire (smell of smoke is a regular thing there). Cottage animals like cows and sheep’s over the wall wandering around etc. - 2 stars Swimming pool - very small - 3,5 stars Gym - it is not a gym, it is a small room with no ac and some old and random equipment. Even the place is small it is constantly occupied by two big assistants. The place of no sense - 0 stars The beach - nice beach but it is not private, many local people walking around and try to sell their goods or services; ferres and boats come and go, water in the is not clean as it is polluted by local people (there is no sewage treatment) - 3 stars. Generally it is 3 star hotel at most.

Everything in this hotel was top-notch: the beautiful, spacious rooms, with comfortable beds, wonderfully soft pillows and a helpful hotel staff. The real delight of the three of us was the hotel restaurant - with a wide selection of local and Italian dishes - no wonder, since an Italian chef runs it. Every day, during breakfast, lunch, and dinner, delicious fresh fruits and ice cream were available. Both the chef and the GM could be found in the restaurant area greeting guests, ready to listen to their opinions or wishes. If there were no word limit, I could write much more such praises about this hotel.

Great setting, completely new, stylish, clean and very spacious rooms. Superb food. Guarantees a very relaxing & comfy stay. The place to be for relaxing after a Madagascar road trip. The buffet restaurant is Italien inspired, but tastes like in Italy. There is a gym, an additional sport pool, a large swimming pool and a really great beach with clear water without waves. We could have stayed longer.

Excellent experience at the royal andilana. I spent a week there in september. Check in was seamless. Rooms large and well appointed with good functional air conditioner. The large balcony affords enough space to dry diving equipment or bathing suits. The gardens are immaculate. Every variety of colourful flower, chameleons, tortoises etc. The pools are well maintained and they have inflatables. Beach area is beutiful and there is no shortage of shade cover. There are always activities- pool aerobics, yoga, volleyball etc. Animators were genuinely friendly and non intrusive. Daldo was very friendly as were others who were happy to share facts about life in madagascar. The all inclusive dining option is good value. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are buffet but varied and genuinely a gastronomic experience and I am a mighty fussy eater. Seafood galore and delicious pastas, pizzas, malagasy options and decadent desserts. The evening entertainment was of an excellent quality. I particularly enjoyed the fire show, live singers and movie night. By far what puts this resort head and shoulders above many (including 5 star in Maldives, zanzibar) is the staff - Torin at breakfast, Antsu at meals, Oliver at the gym and a smiling lady at the bar I dint get the name of, all so friendly and eager to help. Franco was also very friendly? As were the gardeners and cleaning staff. Bar service at pool qnd beach always prompt. A few things that need improving: 1. The wifi - it's a 5 star hotel in the 21 st century. Cannot have unstable internet connection. Local tour guides said that they had no data issues at they homes with orange network. 2. There is no moisturizing cream in bathroom even after request - Very unusual for 5 star hotel. 3. Room sound insulation isn't the best. Occasionally heard quite a lot of outside noise. 4. Bed is a bit firm and pillows too soft - no pillow menu. All in all superb holiday experience, just some minor points to improve on to make the experience perfect.
