Bungalows facing primary forest, with a 5am wake-up call courtesy of the indri lemurs: Very decent, quiet rooms. Pleasant restaurant with excellent food. A well laid-out property in a very appealing setting, in the middle of the forest, near a body of water. It's a pleasure to daydream on the restaurant's small terrace. Very warm welcome. Clean. Not the height of luxury, but nothing to complain about either. Popular.
