Gerard & Francine

Modern Simplicity

Hotel Gerard & Francine is surrounded by an extraordinary garden on the beautiful beach of Ambatoloaka and its lagoon in Nosy Be.

Gerard and Francine strive to implement sustainable, eco-friendly tourism with a sensitive ecological approach to the local, Nosy Be culture in diversity, abundance, and natural beauty.

The guest rooms of the hotel offer a stunning sea view, around the lovely veranda of the Great House and the magnificent tropical garden in front of the Bungalow. The decor uses typical Malagasy architecture, traditional construction with wood floors and creole ceilings. It is a wide mix of exotic woodworking with endemic, replanted, materials. The cloth-work and other pure textile products are made by local, Malagasy artisans of Nosy Be. The furniture is entirely constructed at the hotel. All the rooms are equipped with fans, mosquito nets, individual safes, minibar, solar-heated water, shower sink, and toilet. There are seven rooms in the Bungalow and the Great House with verandas.
There is one room in the Great House with private shower and communal toilet and one air-conditioned room in the Great House without a view of the ocean.

Enjoy a delicious breakfast by the beach of coffee, local tea, or natural fruit juice and a house pastry, fresh fruit, and an omelette or eggs served to your liking.

After a day of discovery in Nosy Be or the neighbouring islands, you can profit from a relaxing massage on a day bed on the beach or solarium, the seaside, or in a natural pool. In the late afternoon and evening, you can visit the bar lounge, only available to clients, for a taste of the typical Malagasy cocktails like Caipirana, a specialty of Nosy Be. Amongst the tropical flower gardens and the palms you can enjoy the company of freedom, lemurs, hummingbirds, chameleons.
