It was super noisy (loudest music I ever experienced) by the nearby night clubs till 2:30am, with no sleep and waking up early to do excursion. I was super tired due to lack of sleep that I had to cut my paid tour activities.

Response from Yves on 14 Nov,2023
Nous sommes bien évidemment désolés.Mais aussi surpris, car nous distribuons dans les chambres, le week end, des bouchons d’oreille qui permettent à nos hôtes de dormir même en cas de volume sonore musical intense. Peut être ne les avez vous pas remarqués?Cela est vraiment dommage car nous les importons spécialement de France et ils sont très efficaces pour préserver le sommeil de nos hôtes en toutes circonstances.

Don’t go if you are not French
We expected 3 relaxing days at the end of our Madagascar holiday. The hotel was not what we expected at all. We were treated differently than the French speaking people. We were unable to book an excursion, because all were presented in French and the reception was unable to explain in English. The restaurant had a special daily menu which which was in French only. The staff didn’t even present it to us because they were aware that they couldn’t translate it. The location was bad and not as beautiful as the pictures we saw of Nosy Be. We rented a motorbike and drove to the north of the island. Nosy Be was indeed beautiful, but not at the location of this hotel. The bungalow was overpriced. Very dark and humid, mosquitoes, ants and other insects everywhere. Compared to other Madagascar hotels, this hotel was not worth more than Euro 40.00 a night while we paid Euro 100.00

Enjoyable stay
Beautiful eco style resort. Two great pools and an alfresco style dining/bar area. Nice views. Good French style food. Would highly recommend a half board or full board package. Well priced drinks and cocktails. Most staff speak English and are pleasant and engaging. As this is an eco style resort there is no air conditioning in the rooms. Also there was no hairdryer in the room. I would stay here again!

A worthwhile stay
L'Heure Bleue is a beautifully built and well maintained eco-resort. The position is excellent with the seaview rooms perfectly situated to take in the shifting scenery. Staff were very helpful (reception staff, wait staff and manager were all engaged and willing to support and translate when necessary). Pools are excellent. Food was generally very good, with a good range of choices, but there were a couple of dishes that 'did not quite' work. Note - no air-conditioning. We presumed a resort would be air-conditioned and did not read the fine print as we hurried to book. We should have been more thoughtful, given the term 'eco'-resort :). This worked out ok. Just something to think about in relation to the season and when humidity is ridiculous.

Excellent, private beach resort
We recently stayed at L'Heure Bleue and can't say enough good things about it. Beautiful hotel grounds, very clean, lovely rustic cabins. The hotel itself is very quiet and private. Food is excellent and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Stays omewhere else but eat at the restaurant
The check-in staff just she you to your bungalow, no information about the facilities, services or meal times. The bungalows are small, basic and dark, partially compensated by the relatively large outside seating area. The resort overlooks a popular beach with a number of bars which play loud music till the early hours if the morning on certain evenings. The staff are not interested in providing any assistance in fact it seems an imposition. The only redeeming aspect is the restaurant which serves god food.

Nosy Be - L'Heure Bleue
Stayed at L'Huere Bleue for 5 nights while on Nosy Be and would definitely recommend staying here to anyone thinking about visiting the island. The hotel's grounds were beautifully kept, the manager was very friendly and spoke with me every time we ran into each other. There were no complaints from this stay and would do it again!

Charming quiet hotel, go for deluxe room
Beautiful hotel. Deluxe room on the water is well worth it. Understated elegant decor with beautiful deck for lounging. Shade covers the decks by 3pm but it's hot enough still for that not to matter. Also, the tide goes very far out each day so beach swimming is difficult. Their two pools are marvelous, however. Clean with one by the dining area and one an infinity overlooking the beach. 15 minute walk down the beach to town with some eating and drinking options. Only downside is the town fills up with hookers after dinner time. Lots of them.

Great place.
I really liked L'heur Blue. Firstly, the food was great. Really tasty. Secondly, he staff were friendly, attentive and flexible. One of the nightmares of travelling to Madagascar is the unpredictability of Air Madagascar. Flights are often changed with little or no notice - some times delayed and some times advanced. It is a nightmare especially when it means connections are missed. But the staff at L'heaur blue maintain calm, get good information on flight details and are flexible on check in check out times that are thrown in a mess by he airline. My only real down point is he lack of wifi in the rooms although it is in the common areas.

15 Days at L'Heure Bleue
We absolutely had a ball. The weather was beautiful and the sky was blue. We stayed there for 15 days and loved Nosy Be. The location of the hotel was fine with easy access to many restaurants and the beach. The staff was very friendly and the landscaping was beautiful. The only complaint I had was the food which is very French. I am from Texas and I like good tasting food not pretty food that does not taste good. We solved that problem by eating at another place down the beach. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Avons passés plusieurs nuits dans cet établissement. Absolument parfait, que cela soit au niveau des prestations d’hôtellerie que des prestations culinaires. Sommes restés suffisamment longtemps, pour goûter à tous les plats de la carte, ainsi que les menus du jour. Absolument parfait! A conseiller sans problème.

OTTIMO HOTEL STILE AFRICANO
ottima struttura, posizione molto buona, personale molto gentile in particolar modo i ragazzi della sicurezza molto disponibili e premurosi. hotel curato nei particolari e pulito ma in pieno stile africano. ristorante molto buono anche se più caro dei ristoranti nelle vicinanze. consiglio sicuramente questa struttura. unica pecca il mare che non è eccellente ma avendo girato tutta l'isola di molto meglio non ne abbiamo visto. un saluto a tutto lo staff dell' herue blue. a presto simone e giada

Cadre magnifique
Dans un cadre magnifique, cet hôtel à un plus réel, c'est la qualité de son restaurant. Une cadre magnifique, des personnels à l'écoute du client, la beauté de la baie de Madirokely complètent la qualité du restaurant de l’hôtel. Les bungalows sont confortable mais manquent d'un peu de rangement et de prises électrique. Hormis ces petits détails tout y est parfait.
