Charming hotel

Fantastic bungalows at the beach of Saint Marie. A great restaurant with good drinks. Whale safaris start directly from the hotel. With tuc tucs the habour, diving trips and the airport on the south tip of Saint Marie is easy to reach. From there, Iles aux Nattes is a good day trip.

Fantastic bungalows at the beach of Saint Marie

We have ben here for two days so far. We would leave if we could but we have already payed in advance so we have to stay another 5 dsys...

You can't swim in the sea at the beach because of urchins. That was a big disappointment for us when we arrived. You can swim around the rocks out in the sea but thats barely possible with little kids. Other hotels seem to clean their beaches from urchins but not this one. The pool is nice but quite chilly.

There are multiple roosters around the property. They start screaming at 3am and keep going until 6am to make sure you cant even dream of going back to sleep again. 

Many of the staff are not very friendly but seem unmotivated. There are exceptions, e.g. the receptionist. Also they are not very attentive. We are a family with toddlers and we had to ask for the high chair and a spoon instead of cutlery every meal - they would not bring it themselves. 

The food is tasty but the menue is quite small. Dinner starts at 7pm the earliest. You have to preorder your meal and they give you a timeslot. If you aren't the first to order, you can't choose your slot but have to take what is left. Sadly they were always late for our meals - starting dinner at 7.30pm with two tired toddlers is just a pain. 

The rooms are spacious, the shower is hot. There are no mosquito nets at the windows. So in the evening you basically sit in your bed under the mosquito net or you get stung. In our house some of the lamps were broken so it was quite dark.

That's it. I suppose Libertalia is a good place to go for couples that are not light sleepers and don't expect too much from the staff. We think it is not great with little kids and for people who want to have a good sleep here - because you most likely wont.

We can't recommend Libertalia

My husband and I spent 4 nights at Libertalia and would definitely recommend. Friendly staff with good customer service. Beach front bungalows had amazing ocean view (we saw whales jumping and amazing sunsets). The accommodations were simple, but clean and well appointed. Our only complaint from the room was the mattress quality, which after 4 nights caused some minor back pain. The ambiance at the hotel was fantastic, with plenty of options for beach front lounging with good music, a long dock heading out to a rock island (best place for sunset), and a nice infinity pool. We enjoyed kayaking, playing pool and doing yoga in upstairs common space, and getting massages. Only a short taxi ride from airport (15 min?) and even shorter ride to the main town (5-10min). We opted for half-board and while the breakfasts were a bit monotonous, the dinners were fantastic. We also highly recommend the whale watching expedition. They even do an educational presentation the night before.

Comfortable, clean hotel with great ambiance!

We absolutely loved our 4-night stay at Hotel Libertalia! All our needs were taken care of by the comfortable facilities and friendly staff. The airy bungalow had direct access to the sandy beach, lounge chairs on the porch, roomy shower, and comfortable bed. We ended up eating all our meals at the hotel restaurant because the food was so good -- fresh seafood, delicious sauces, French and Malagasy cooking styles. The owners offer a reputable whale watching excursion right from the hotel. In addition to beaches and sunset, we enjoyed the swimming pier, the "private island" (where we explored tidepools), the infinity pool, and seeing whales right from the shore. We were happy to relax for 4 days in this great environment!

Best beach getaway

Stayed at Libertalia on several occasions as I travelled the islands.A great place to base yourself and a lovely hotel ,great restaurant and wonderful staff.Aurelie helped sort out my trips and it was better and cheaper to go through hotel than trying to do things independent.Thanks guys.

WONDERFUL STAY

Stayed here with my friend for 4 nights and had a great time. It was very quiet as it was the beginning of the season so we had the place mostly to ourselves. The bungalows are simple but comfortable and clean. The location is beautiful although to swim you have to go to the deeper water at the end of jetty to avoid the sea urchins. The staff in particular Auriele made our stay very pleasant with their friendly and helpful attitude. The in house massage was good and the food excellent. I would definitely recommend this place whilst on Nosy Boraha.

Lovely little place on the beach

If you are wanting to stay near the airport of ferry port than stay here for one or two nights max.  The hotel is well appointed and the rooms are good.  The service, from management all the way down, is only average.  The hotel also backs on to the road meaning that you have a lot of traffic noise.  The pontoon out to the small island is great for swimming, especially on the east coast which generally has very shallow lagoons.

Very average service.

The hotel is located in an amazing place,it have a so beautiful coral to make snorkel, kayak to rent and a beautiful pool next to the sea. The bungalows are so beatiful,confortable and clean, the food is so tasty,but the best are the staff...So friendly and professional!!! Thank you for make me feel like home!!!

An Amazing hotel and staff!!!

We really liked our stay at Libertalia.
Bungalow are nice, clean and directly on the beachfront, food is excellent, staff is lovely and always happy to help. We were having a problem to book our boat with Condor and they get to the agency for us to buy the tickets...very helpful.
The view is also amazing and you can see the whales jumping from your table!
There is a nice swimming pool as well, that seems very clean but we did not try.
