Isalo Rock Lodge

We stayed here mid october for 2 nights but we wished we could have stayed longer. The Lodge is perfectly located close to the parc and with a magnificent view of the beautiful landscape of this region. All the staff is great and helpful and always smiling and willing to help. The lodge comprises a main building with a reception, a restaurant and a great bar with an adjacent swimming pool. On the other side of the swimming pool there are 2 or 3 rows of rooms. Our room was beautiful and spacious and had a large terrace with a magnificent view. The bedroom is large and next to the bedroom is a large open bathroom with whirlpool and a separate shower. The toilet is a separate room which is great. In the restaurant you can have breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is served at the table and we liked the breakfast. Dinner is a menu where you can choose from. You have 2 or 3 choices for each course and also this was of a great quality. Lunch you can have also at the bar and you can choose from a large menu. The bar is nice with a lot of choices, they have a lot of cocktails and they make these cocktails with great diligence (and time), unfortunately there was no blue curacao (this was a disappointment for us). We also had a massage and this was really great and we can recommend this highly. One warning don't be prudish because you have to take off all your clothes, we didn't mind but if you do be prepared. At the end of the hotel there is a stairs up a rock and from the top you have one of the best sunsets you can get. We had here a sunset drink and this was really great and well organised (thanks to the staff).

We really loved the modern design of this hotel and its rooms. We loved sitting on our deck just looking out over the rocks. The staff were excellent and the food was great. The bar area was really relaxing. After that awful drive on the RN7 it was a welcome respite.
