Sakatia Lodge Hotel

We had another incredible stay at Sakatia Lodge! A big thank you to Jose and Isabella and all the wonderful and friendly staff for going out of their way to make our stay so enjoyable — especially the extra effort in accommodating our little ones! A special mention to Masha, Emma and the diving team for some wonderful dives.

Fantastic Food and People.

Fantastic lodge with kind service and beautifull surroundings in a idyllic island setting…

The views, the spectacular diving, the food, the friendly staff, the blissful massages, the peace…

Friendly staff with a personal touch. Great experience with the ocean as the main attraction!

What a wonderful place. Couldn’t have been better. Fantastic diving too. Thank you Nosy Sakatia and hope to get back there some day.

Highly recommending Lodge with friendly Staff and absolute perfect atmosphere! Really nice food and most of all very clean.
Several different excursions to book on site, like Diving, Hiking, Whale watching, etc.

Sakatia Lodge is an amazing piece of paradise! Lots of activities to do for free like kayaking and snorkelling. Best part of the island is you can spend hours swimming with large turtles and exploring clear waters filled with mangroves. The food was fantastic, cocktails even better and the staff were great! Take a walk through the island with a local guide for a feel of the whole island too! An experience of a lifetime overall!

From the moment you set foot onto this little piece of paradise, one is welcomed by Jose, Isabella and a host of amazing staff. Your hospitality, food, drink and my birthday cake was beyond expectations. Every whim and requirement is catered for. We felt like we left new family behind… only until we return.

Amazing… A piece of paradise…

Visited here in Dec 2017. Stayed in family bungalow which was pleasant, right on the beach, will cooler wind every now and again. This time of year very hot and humid, one perspires without doing effort. Nights offer no relieve, especially when fan stops on generator shutdown. The good things about the lodge is — breakfast and dinner good, sufficient and varied — neat and cared for — staff good, helpful and speaks a degree of English — lunch and drinks are reasonable compared to other Malgasie lodges I visited. — hygiene of a high standard which is essential — hosts are helpful and accommodating — the dive centre is active and well run Not such good things — no activities on offer, easy to get bored — sea current withdraws from the bay, leaving sea bed exposed maybe 500 meters — possibly sand mites on the beach / adjacent mangrove which bite when swimming — no pool (that said, none of the other lodges I visited had swimming pools) Saw chameleons, gecko’s, snakes in there natural environment, which good to experience.

We stayed at Sakatia Lodge for 6 days and 7 nights. Initially we were very impressed with our bungalow and setting. But it soon dawned on us that we were on an island were everything purchased is through the lodge and at the highest exchange rate possible. Bottle water had to be purchased at the bar which was extremely costly. We found we had to remain hungry through the day as purchasing a simple sandwich for lunch cost us R76.00 each. We found our savings dwindling away trying just to save enough to make the trip home. Our generators were turned off even before the stipulated time leaving you in the dark and terribly hot and bothered. There is no respite from the heat and you cannot even go for a dip in ocean for relief as it is a mangrove area and when the tide is low it is a huge mud bowl and when tide is in it is too shallow unless you can walk through 400m of thick mud to get into a bit of a deeper area to cool down. We were extremely bored and the trip out to lemur island was shody and a tourist trap. The people living there are extremely unfriendly and be sure not to point your finger in anyone's general direction, we felt very unsafe. One night Jose promised a huge spread for supper we were starving and supper time came and went finally when Jose's family and friends arrived on the island were we allowed to eat. Clearly he was only concerned about his family and friends and not the guests at the lodg.

Thank you sakatia lodge for a awesome dive holiday and making one feel so welcome on arrival. Besides for the great diving I enjoyed everything the food the accommodation the friendly staff and the great service. I will be back again in the future and will definitely recommend sakatia as a great holiday experience.

Beautiful accommodation right on the beach with stunning crystal warm calm waters, surrounded by lush tropical vegetations. Staff are friendly and helpful.

We were the only guests at the lodge for our whole honeymoon! What great attention! We had an AWESOME time! The food was amazing, the intimate &special meal on the last night will always be a highlight! Have never seen such big Crayfish in my life! Super special place with amazing staff! Thanks Jacques, Sandra, José, Isabella, Anastasia, Zalifa, Sophinia and the team. We will hopefully be back some day.

The place, the reception, the staff, the activities and the staff; Everything is perfect.

Last night we dined there, good place, always a caillepie in aperitif, rum lemon crushed ice, frame and music years 70 80 … Meal of the sea, rum arranged in digestive. It's always new and delicious. Back in the night, small foray into the sea on the way home …

One of the wonderfulst places of the world to stay quiet days on the sea. Family atmosphere, best food, ecxellent service, great possibility for Big Game fishing and it must be great for diving. I only can recommend and I am sure I will come back.

I'm afraid there are not enough stars here to do Sakatia Lodge justice… I would give it 10! Did my first try dive and would love to have gone again. Definitely the best place to start if you are really nervous like me! Food was amazing, everybody so welcoming and friendly. Will definitely recommend it.
