After various research and evaluations we decided to spend part of our holiday at the Laguna Blue Resort and.... we left our hearts there! This resort is a true pearl and oasis of peace in one of the most beautiful seaside areas of Madagascar! The managers, Emanuela and Ernesto, are adorable and have managed to give the right Italian touch even if, being a fairly remote place, it is certainly not easy. The bungalows are very simple but have everything you need, there is also a bidet which is very important to us Italians. Bathrobes and a hairdryer are also provided (the latter on request). Acceptable cleanliness. The beach is wonderful, talcum white and walking lovers will be able to make the most of it! There is the phenomenon of the tides but in my opinion it is not a negative point on the contrary... it is very fascinating and you can walk among the pools that form to observe shells of all kinds, starfish and small fish! We went on several excursions and without a doubt the day in the canoe spotting the whales thrilled us, we saw so many of them, even very close, jumping, flapping their tails and fins, there were also mothers with their puppies. Then still by pirogue we reached and spent a day at Baia degli Assassini (wonderful place to be on the beach in complete relaxation) and on foot (about 20 minutes from the resort) we reached the beach with starfish visible at low tide. The wind, more or less strong, was almost always a constant but when not too strong it was pleasant. The sea was a little cold for our tastes for long swims and/or snorkeling so I recommend a light half wetsuit. And now we come to the other strong point: the kitchen and the food! Ernesto is a very good chef and manages to enhance the raw materials that arrive fresh every day (we saw lobsters, various fish, tomatoes, etc. arrive) so you will not miss our food. The wifi is only present in the restaurant area but with connectivity very limited data. To get there it takes about 4/5 hours of off-road driving on "non" sandy roads among vegetation, mangroves and villages. To conclude, we highly recommend this wonder and we sincerely thank Emanuela, Ernesto, Michael and all the staff for their kindness, helpfulness and the fantastic days spent together ❤️
