My son and I went on a father/son adventure back in 2007. First on Safari in Zambia, than to Madagascar. At the end of our 3 week trip, we stayed at Princesse Bora. A place straight from those fancy magazines. It was end of June 2007 and at the beginning of the whale season. Rates are a bit easier on... More

After an amazing tour around Madagascar it was a pleasure to arrive to pretty Ile St Marie and spend a lazy week. Earlier when I booked Princess Bora it was top ranked on the island, but since then it has dropped to (currently) 4th place on Tripadvisor. And I think I know why. The surroundings are still beautiful, but I... More

Fantastic location. I found the comfort villa to be more than adequate, and the spa was first class. One of my favorite parts of my stay was seeing where the hotel grows its fruit and how it is using its "plantation" to restore the land from slash and burn agriculture and educate the local population. Staff was great! I was... More

My wife and I stayed here for a full week at the beginning of October, as a luxury end to our Madagascar trip. The room was great, really comfortable with views straight out to sea, and the staff were lovely. The whale watching trip was excellent, and Francois the dive instructor was really professional and patient with us. The food... More

This place is a real treasure to find at the end of our stay in Madagascar. The staff are friendly and helpful. Food and wine fantastic. Our executive suite was outstanding. Sunken bath with candles, His/ her showers and sinks, comfortable bed and the decor was outstanding. It also was quite private with ample spacing between each accomodation. Comparing it... More

This is a place to put on your "Bucket List". Accommadation fabulous - if you can upgrade to an executive villa. Hospitality and service faultless. Great food and a very good selection of French, South African, and South American wine - just go into the cellar and make your choice. Right from the start we received a very friendly welcome...

Having booked our trip through Imagine Africa (who I would not hesitate to recommend) we stayed at Princess Bora for 7 nights during our Madagascar honeymoon and honestly cannot think of a single bad point about the hotel, its location and amenities, the food and most especially, the staff. On our arrival at the airstrip commonly known as Saint Marie... More

The Princess Bora turned out to be everything it promised to be. Idyllic setting on Sainte Marie's south, attentive staff giving you outstanding service throughout your stay, amazing sunsets and one of the biggest wine cellars in the entire country. Our executive suite was not only the best room we stayed at in Madagascar but probably one of the best... More

As others have described there are a range of bungalows at Princess Bora - we were fortunate to have an Executive Villa (named 'Charette') which was right on the beach, spacious with quality fittings - would highly recommend such a villa. We also had use of one of the other villas slightly back from the beach and although smaller it... More
