Cozy Beachfront Bungalow

I stayed in a bungalow that had a lovely view of the pool and the beach. It was simple yet clean and provided everything I needed, including hot showers and comfortable beds. I loved being just steps away from the ocean, enjoying the tranquil atmosphere at Bamboo Club Ifaty.

Amazing Infinity Pool

The infinity pool here is simply stunning! I spent many afternoons relaxing by the pool, taking in the beautiful sunset views. It was a perfect escape after a busy week of traveling around Madagascar. The ambience was serene, making it a lovely spot to unwind.

Delicious Cocktails by the Pool

While the on-site dining options were a bit subpar, I absolutely loved the cocktails prepared at the pool bar! They were perfect for sipping while enjoying the sun. I'd recommend trying them, especially after a day of exploration.

Fun Activities Available

I had so much fun renting paddleboards to explore the ocean! The hotel offers various activities, including snorkeling and dugout canoe rides. It was great to have these options available right at my doorstep, adding to my beach experience.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with its perfect beachside location and a range of activities to enjoy.

While the cocktails were fantastic, I found the food to be somewhat mediocre, prompting us to explore other places for meals. Overall, the experience was relaxing, making it a nice escape despite the culinary shortcomings.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, which is a hidden gem right by the beach. The bungalows are cozy and offer stunning views, making it a wonderful relaxing escape. However, the dining options weren't the best—while the cocktails were great, the food was only decent. The Wi-Fi was a bit troublesome, only working at the restaurant, which wasn't ideal.
