The restaurant is highly recommended, but we only had dinner there the first night and were disappointed. That happens sometimes, and we didn't give it a second chance. It's easy to walk up the beach and there are lots of simple places right on the beach serving excellent fresh seafood, and that seemed more fun than eating at the hotel. It's a bit cheaper to eat on the beach, but to be fair to the hotel's restaurant it really isn't that much more expensive. The wifi only works in the restaurant, but there's a comfortable sitting area so that wasn't the end of the world.

We had two different rooms because we extended our stay. The first (#5) was close to the pool and better / more private than the second one (#6). The hotel is set 200 meters back from the beach which we liked but some might prefer to be right on the beach. When you get to the beach you are at the far end of the busy part of the beach. Turn left and there's a gorgeous stretch of almost totally deserted soft white sand with warm crystal clear water. Turn right and it's the same beach, but it gets gradually busier, and soon you get to the village of Ramena where you'll find dozens of small restaurants serving excellent seafood. The hotel also has a small swimming pool which is nice for cooling off. It's easy to arrange excursions from there. We went to the Montagne des Francais - it's well worth the effort to climb to the summit where you have a stunning 360 degree view of the bay. You can also walk to Baie des Dunes and Baie des Pigeons - it's a hot sweaty walk but totally doable. However, despite all the fuss about the Trois Baies, the beach at Orangea which is just around the headland from Ramena has got to be one of the nicest beaches in the world.

The sharp gravel!

Quiet location close to a lovely beach. Nice pool & garden with morning visits from some lemurs! Good bungalows. The double ones are newly refurbished & very nice & the family ones are a bit tight for space with older bathrooms but still comfortable & clean. Staff were helpful & the food was good. Very glad we chose to stay here.

If you stay 2 nights , this hotel has everything. For longer stay the hotel may consider refurbishing their pool table, perhaps add other activities like a ping pong table etc and more chilling/comfy area close to wifi ( some of the couches are a bit hard to sit on for more than 15-30min).

Really good hotel for the price you pay. Very clean with everything you need. Travelled with 2 kids and they love it. breakfast is great also for Madagascar with lots of fruits.

Lakana exceeded our already high expectations. Superbly located 100m away from Ramena beach, with a nice swimming pool, and sun loungers available both at the pool and on the beach. The food and drink were fantastic, I'd particularly recommend the lobster and the Caiprihinas were the best I've ever tasted. The bungalow was spacious, with a warm shower, enough fans to keep you cool and a big, comfy bed. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was nicely decorated for Christmas.

they couldn’t exchange money, but away from the village but that’s probably not a bad thing, just need transport, mosquito’s in the restaurant and humidity is something to keep in mind (but obviously not much they can do about it)

nice pool and restaurant area, walk to a private beach and you could potentially walk to nearby village along the beach, comfi cabins, lemurs running around :)

a bit remote perhaps but not much of a problem, they could not exchange money

lovely little pool, comfortable cabins, you could walk to town (not recommended at night), lovely semi private beach, good restaurant on site, the lemurs hanging around

Very slow in the kitchen and for breakfast. 1.5 hour after ordering when it was no one at the restaurant. No ac, extremely hot, overrated

Nice location close to the beach. Friendly staff

-No air con only a fan. Prepare for a sleepless sweaty night! -The hut is open. Impossible to keep mosquitoes and bugs out. Thankfully our hut had a net over the bed.

+Close proximity to the beach +Food was tasteful +Fairly quiet place
