Each room has mosquito netting, standing fans, and a private bathroom, plain furnishings suited to the heat. The arboretum itself holds more than 900 plant species, most endemic to southwest Madagascar, and a night walk can turn up grey mouse lemurs moving through the branches. You can hear little else after dark but insects and the arboretum's own birds. The hotel sits along the Route Nationale 7, near the Mozambique Channel, with a lagoon offshore that has kept its reef largely intact. Reaching the sea means a drive along the coastal track through Saint-Augustin. A freshwater pool and a small library give guests somewhere to sit out the midday heat, and the kitchen works from local produce, including a goat's cheese made on site. Rooms range from standard doubles to family and triple bungalows, six configurations in total. It is a quiet, plant-filled base. Excursions run from the property to Nosy Ve for its red-tailed tropicbird colony, to the mangroves and cave at Sarodrano by traditional pirogue, and to the beaches around Ifaty.

The coral reef running between Salary and Andavadoaka lies about a mile offshore, cut by a deep channel that lets larger boats pass safely through. It is a compact stay. Rooms come in two forms: a double bungalow that sleeps up to three, and a family bungalow that sleeps up to five with one double bed and three singles. Each has a ceiling fan, a bedside table with storage, mosquito netting over the bed, and a safe. Diving, snorkelling and fishing trips run from the lodge, along with excursions by pirogue with local fishermen and a boat trip to Manjaboake, a rocky island known for its cliffs and clear water. Between July and September, whale-watching trips can be arranged offshore. Diving programmes, including certification courses, require a minimum of four people and advance notice of at least 20 days. Room service runs on request, and the setting stays informal throughout, closer to a working fishing coast than a resort strip.

The sand runs for 500 metres along its front. Five bungalows sit within the dunes, each angled differently so no two share quite the same view of the lagoon; four add a second terrace facing east, for sunrise over the water. Wooden shutters let the sea breeze move through each room, and bathrooms are finished in polished concrete with a walk-in shower. Beyond the bungalows, a handful of other stays extend the property: the Alizé Cabin near the main house, the family-sized Havana lodge with direct beach access, and Tanambao Villa, a private bungalow with its own suite and outdoor space. Electricity comes from solar panels, water from a reverse-osmosis system, and the roofing from vundro, a local straw. There is no fixed dining room. Meals are set wherever guests choose that day, following light, weather, and appetite. You can watch Vezo fishermen's pirogues cross the bay under coloured sails, much as they have for generations.

Guides are compulsory; wild camping is not permitted anywhere on the property. The lodge sits within the reserve itself, with double and family rooms opening onto private terraces facing the garden canopy. Its restaurant draws on locally sourced produce, and rooms are kept simple rather than styled. Three circuits structure a visit, running from just over an hour to three hours, covering family-friendly walks, the reserve's horticultural history, and a longer route taking in caves and cascades. A night walk is offered for visitors wanting to see the reserve's nocturnal species.
