I can recommend the “Anjiamarango Beach Resort” situated in Befotaka, on the north-west of the island, with beautiful giant bungalows, a wonderful swimming pool and fantastic meals!

I have to disagree with Paolo about the diving around Nosy Be. Whilst the immediate vicinity is a bit disappointing there is nothing in the world that can compare to the diving (and even snorkelling) of the reefs around both the Radamas and the Mitsio islands. However, these are mostly inaccessible if you are land based and you need a charter yacht to take you to these sites.
you can look at http://www.madagascatcharters.co.za for information on charters – and they are not just for divers but fishing and just relaxing in the comfort of your ‘own’ catamaran complete with crew and chef! Get away from the tourist side of Nosy Be and explore the distant islands.

Hello, just arrived from Nosy Be. Some information.
- A very good local travel agency is Escapades – http://www.nosybe-madagascar.com;
- Espace Medical offers a very good medical service, even in the hotel room; it is located in Androkaroka (phone 0320443115); the cost for a visit at domicile is about 50,00 Euro;
- about 6 months ago a new small diving centre opened close to Vanila Hotel: Mitsiky Plongée – http://www.123plongee-madagascar.com; the owner (Math) is very friendly; unfortunately the reef or the wrecks are not so good like in other tropical destinations (Red Sea, Maldives, Caribbean, etc.);
Best regard
