Exactly, the hotel is too expensive, the restaurant is not cozy, but you have a lemur island all for you. In the island you can feed several lemurs from your hand. They jump all around you, even on your head. They also have a diademed sifaka dancing. In the price of the ticket (quite cheap) you can also visit a... More

My husband and I went here as our first stop in Madagascar for our Honeymoon. We wanted to come to see the Indri Indri and only had time for one night. The room was great and the hotel property is beautiful. The dining room is great and they reserve you a table that is "your table" for while you stay... More

Before you arrive in the Forest Lodge you... More

Excellent quality, location, ambience, facilities and food (great confit of duck and lamb stew – very tender). Inclusive meals are limited choice but a good range. Friendly staff. Excellent roomy lodges, with patio. Hot water and power all day (occasional glitches), unlike many of the remote lodges. Swimming pool. Free wifi in the reception – not very fast but it... More
