Why Anjajavy Is Madagascar’s Best Combined Safari + Beach Property

Most Madagascar luxury properties force a choice: wildlife lodge in the rainforest (no beach) or beach resort on Nosy Be (limited wildlife). Anjajavy is the rare property where both exist in the same setting. The 550-hectare private peninsula combines a dry forest reserve with resident lemurs, dramatic limestone tsingy formations, mangrove channels, and 5 km of private white-sand beaches. Within a 90-minute walk from your villa you can encounter a Coquerel’s sifaka family, swim from a deserted beach, and photograph the tsingy from a viewpoint that’s not on any public tourist map.

Anjajavy sits firmly in our top 3 of all Madagascar luxury properties — see the complete luxury resort ranking and the safari lodge ranking where it appears as #1 overall safari lodge. This article is the destination authority — the complete guide to Anjajavy as a property, what to expect, how to plan, and how to maximize your stay.

The Property in Detail

Setting and Geography

The Anjajavy peninsula juts into the Mozambique Channel from Madagascar’s northwest coast, between the larger islands of Nosy Be (to the north) and Mahajanga (to the south). The peninsula is geologically distinct — a karst limestone landscape that has weathered into the spectacular tsingy formations (limestone needle outcrops) found nowhere else in this configuration. The dry forest covering the peninsula’s interior holds endemic flora including 5 baobab species (rare in this concentration outside the western Morondava region) and pachypodiums.

The peninsula is genuinely remote. The nearest village (Anjajavy hamlet) is 40 minutes by boat from the lodge; the nearest road of any kind is 2 days walking. This isolation is the property’s defining characteristic — most of what makes Anjajavy distinctive (wildlife habituation, beach privacy, total quiet) is a direct consequence of its inaccessibility.

The Lodge Buildings

The main lodge complex includes the restaurant (overlooking the property’s central bay), library lounge, infinity pool, full spa, and reception. The architecture is colonial-style with extensive use of local hardwood (palissandre, the Madagascar rosewood that gives the country half its luxury feel) and limestone from the peninsula itself.

Twenty-five villas are arranged along the coast, all with direct beach access or coastal forest backing. Villa categories:

• Garden Villa (standard): 80 sqm, sea-view terrace, king bed, walk-in shower. The entry-level option.
• Beachfront Villa: 90 sqm, direct beach access from terrace, deeper sea-view.
• Family Villa: 120 sqm, two bedrooms, shared lounge area. Suits 2 adults + 2 children.
• Honeymoon Suite: Elevated position, private plunge pool, additional outdoor lounge area. The signature category.

The Restaurant and Bar

Anjajavy’s restaurant is one of the strongest at any luxury lodge in Madagascar — a fusion of French technique with Malagasy seafood and produce. Daily menus shift based on what arrives that morning from the local fishing village (typical: red snapper, line-caught tuna, octopus, lobster in season). The bar holds an unusual range of wines for a remote Madagascar property — French, South African, and Australian selections, plus several Madagascar-produced rums.

Three meals daily are included in the all-inclusive rate, along with soft drinks, local beer, and house wines. Premium spirits, cocktails, and labeled wines are extra. Dietary requirements (gluten-free, vegan, kosher) are handled with 7 days advance notice.

Wildlife on the Property

Resident Lemurs

Anjajavy’s resident lemur population is the property’s signature draw. Eight species have been documented on the peninsula, and four of those visit the lodge gardens regularly enough that most guests see them on Day 1 without leaving the property:

• Coquerel’s sifaka: White-and-chestnut large lemur with the distinctive sideways “dance” gait. Resident family visits the lodge gardens at dawn (6:00–8:00) most mornings.
• Common brown lemur: Most active in trees behind the villas; small group of 5–8 individuals.
• Mongoose lemur: Less commonly seen than the sifaka but present in the peninsula’s interior dry forest.
• Sportive lemur (nocturnal): Visible during the lodge’s evening guided walks with naturalist guide and torch.

The other four species (eastern bamboo lemur, fork-marked lemur, mouse lemur, dwarf lemur) are present but less reliably observed. The property naturalist guides know each family’s territory and current activity patterns — the first afternoon usually includes a property orientation where the guide shows you where to expect each species.

Endemic Birds

Anjajavy is a strong birding destination — 78 bird species recorded on the peninsula, including several endemics rarely observed elsewhere:

• Madagascar fish eagle: One of the world’s rarest raptors (under 200 breeding pairs globally). Resident pair on the peninsula.
• Schlegel’s asity: Endemic dry-forest bird, brilliant blue and yellow.
• Coua species: Three species (giant coua, crested coua, red-capped coua) all reliable on the property.
• Madagascar sparrowhawk: Common over the peninsula.

The lodge maintains a list of all sightings; serious birders can request a dedicated bird-walk guide (no extra charge) who knows current sighting locations.

Marine Life

The peninsula’s coastline includes fringing reefs accessible by short boat trip. Snorkeling and diving include sightings of green and hawksbill turtles, dolphins (Indo-Pacific bottlenose and spinner), and seasonal humpback whales (July–October passage). The dive offerings are not the property’s primary draw (better dedicated dive sites exist around Nosy Be) but the snorkeling from the lodge beaches is consistently good.

Activities Included in the Rate

Anjajavy’s all-inclusive rate covers all standard activities — distinct from many Madagascar lodges where excursions are charged separately. Daily activities are arranged the evening before with the activities manager:

• Property walks (1–4 hours): Naturalist-guided walks through the reserve interior — tsingy, forest trails, beach circuits.
• Mangrove kayaking: Half-day excursion through the peninsula’s mangrove channels. Wildlife: kingfishers, herons, occasional mongoose lemur.
• Boat trips: Visits to nearby smaller islets, snorkeling stops, deserted beach picnics.
• Cultural visit: Short trip to Anjajavy village to meet local fishing families.
• Pool, beach, spa access: Included; spa treatments are paid extra.
• Night walks: 1–2 hours after dinner with torch. Nocturnal lemurs and chameleons.
• Birding walk: Dedicated bird-focused guide on request.

Booking Anjajavy: How and When

Direct vs. Operator

Anjajavy can be booked directly via the property website or through a Madagascar specialist tour operator. Direct booking is straightforward but requires you to separately arrange international flights and any other lodge nights you’re combining. A specialist operator (Cortez Travel, Boogie Pilgrim, Voyages Madagascar, Audley) typically packages Anjajavy with 1–2 other lodges (commonly Andasibe + Anjajavy or Andasibe + Anjajavy + Nosy Be).

For a comparison of how operators price Anjajavy-inclusive packages, see our Madagascar tour packages 2026 guide. Direct booking usually saves 8–12% but loses the operator’s coordination support.

When to Book

Anjajavy operates on a strict calendar:

• Peak season (July–September): Books out 8–10 months ahead. Some specific weeks (the Bastille Day mid-July week, the late-August school holiday week from France) sell out 12 months in advance.
• Shoulder (May–June, October–November): 4–6 months ahead is sufficient.
• Closed: February through mid-March (rainy season closure for maintenance).
• Low season (April, late November–early February): Wide availability, but be aware that bad weather can affect charter flight reliability.

Getting There

Anjajavy is reached only by charter aircraft from Antananarivo (Ivato airport). The 90-minute flight is included in your lodge rate and operates as a scheduled service on Tuesdays and Saturdays in peak season (more flexibility in shoulder seasons). The aircraft is a 12-passenger Cessna Caravan — luggage limit 15 kg per person, including hand luggage.

For international arrivals, plan a buffer night in Tana before the Anjajavy charter — the charter departs Tana mid-morning, requiring an early morning logistics window that a long-haul same-day arrival cannot reliably support. Carlton Anosy and Palissandre Hôtel are the standard Tana options. Compare Tana hotels on Agoda.

For international flight delay protection on your Tana arrival, verify your flight compensation eligibility on AirAdvisor — Paris-Tana connection delays are frequently EU261-eligible up to €600 per passenger.

Costs: What Anjajavy Actually Costs in 2026

Anjajavy’s pricing is published per couple per night, all-inclusive (charter flight, all meals, all activities, soft drinks, local beer, house wines). 2026 rate benchmarks:

Season	Garden Villa	Beachfront Villa	Honeymoon Suite
Peak (Jul–Sep)	$1,800/night	$2,100/night	$2,400/night
Shoulder (May–Jun, Oct–Nov)	$1,500/night	$1,750/night	$2,000/night
Low (Apr, late-Nov–early-Feb)	$1,200/night	$1,400/night	$1,600/night

A typical 4-night Anjajavy stay (the recommended minimum) at the Beachfront Villa in peak season runs $8,400 per couple all-inclusive, plus international flights and the buffer Tana night. A full 14-day Madagascar itinerary including 4 nights Anjajavy + 3 nights Andasibe + 4 nights Nosy Be runs $14,000–$18,000 per couple at the luxury tier — see our 14-day Madagascar itinerary for the structure.

How Long to Stay at Anjajavy

The recommended minimum is 4 nights. Anjajavy is logistically remote enough that a 2-night stay loses too much time to charter transfers; a 3-night stay is tight but workable; 4 nights is the sweet spot; 5+ nights is for travelers who want genuine downtime alongside the wildlife and activity program.

Most Anjajavy guests combine the stay with one of these patterns:

• Anjajavy alone (5–7 nights): A focused stay treating the peninsula as a single destination. Best for couples seeking concentrated downtime with safari + beach.
• Anjajavy + Andasibe (10 days total): 3 nights Andasibe (indri encounter) + 4 nights Anjajavy + 2 nights Tana. The most popular combination for first-time Madagascar visitors.
• Anjajavy + Nosy Be (10 days total): 4 nights Anjajavy + 4 nights Nosy Be + 1 night Tana each side. Two distinct beach + wildlife experiences.
• Anjajavy + Andasibe + Nosy Be (14 days total): The full classic luxury circuit. See our complete Madagascar luxury itinerary 2026 guide.

Best Time to Visit Anjajavy

Anjajavy’s climate is hot-dry from May to October and hot-wet from November to March. The seasonal split affects both wildlife visibility and lodge operations:

• May: Dry season opens. Forest still slightly green from the recent wet season; lemurs active; temperatures pleasant (24–30°C). Lower visitor density than peak.
• June: Excellent — clear skies, easy walking conditions, full wildlife activity. Honeymoon-favored month.
• July–September: Peak. Cooler nights (15–20°C), dry days (25–30°C). Whale passage (Jul–Sep). Heavy demand; book 8–10 months ahead.
• October: Transition month. Warming, less crowded, late whale passage. A favored shoulder for return visitors.
• November: Wet season begins. Some rain but still 6+ dry days per week. Lower rates.
• December–January: Wet season proper. Daily afternoon storms typical; charter flights can be delayed. Wildlife still active but morning windows reduced.
• February to mid-March: CLOSED (annual maintenance).
• Late March–April: Lodge reopens. Lush green landscape; reduced visitor numbers; weather still variable.

What to Pack for Anjajavy

• Lightweight long-sleeve shirts and pants: For dawn walks (mosquitoes) and sun protection during midday activities. Neutral colors (khaki, sand).
• Closed-toe trail shoes: For tsingy walks and forest circuits. Sandals for beach time.
• Swimwear ×2: The lodge’s snorkeling and beach use is constant; allow rotation for drying.
• Binoculars (8×42): For birding and distant lemur sightings.
• Telephoto lens (300mm+): Coquerel’s sifaka in higher canopy often needs reach for sharp shots.
• Insect repellent (DEET 30%+): Evening walks include mosquito exposure.
• Reef-safe sunscreen: Mandatory for the marine reserves the lodge accesses.
• Light evening wear: No formal dress code, but smart-casual for the restaurant.
• 15 kg luggage maximum: Charter aircraft limit. Soft duffel bags outperform hard cases.

Health and Insurance Considerations

Anjajavy’s remoteness places it firmly in the category of properties where medical evacuation insurance is non-negotiable. The peninsula has a basic clinic on-site staffed by a lodge nurse, but anything beyond minor injury requires evacuation to Mahajanga (50 minutes by light aircraft) or Tana (90 minutes by charter). Major injury requires onward evacuation to Réunion or South Africa.

Vaccinations and prophylaxis: Standard for Madagascar (hepatitis A/B, typhoid, tetanus). Yellow fever required only if arriving from yellow fever-endemic country. Malaria risk is moderate at Anjajavy; Malarone or doxycycline prophylaxis recommended.

SafetyWing Nomad Insurance Complete is the recommended policy for Anjajavy travelers:

• Unlimited evacuation coverage — including charter aircraft and air ambulance
• No geographic exclusion for Anjajavy’s remote position
• Active sports inclusion — covers the lodge’s snorkeling, kayaking, hiking
• Monthly subscription — activate for exact trip duration

Anjajavy Compared to Madagascar’s Other Ultra-Luxury Lodges

How does Anjajavy compare against the other Madagascar ultra-luxury properties?

• vs. Miavana by Time + Tide: Miavana is more expensive ($2,400–$2,800 vs Anjajavy’s $1,400–$2,200), more remote (helicopter access only), and marine-focused. Anjajavy has stronger land-based wildlife (resident lemurs); Miavana has stronger marine wildlife. For the full Miavana comparison see our Miavana destination guide.
• vs. Constance Tsarabanjina: Tsarabanjina is a pure beach private-island property with no resident lemurs. Anjajavy combines beach with safari. Tsarabanjina is better for honeymooners seeking pure beach focus; Anjajavy is better for wildlife-curious honeymooners.
• vs. Vakôna Forest Lodge (Andasibe): Vakôna is half the price and offers the indri encounter that Anjajavy cannot. Anjajavy offers privacy, beach, and integrated luxury that Vakôna cannot. Most travelers visit both in a 10–14 day itinerary.

Sample 4-Night Anjajavy Itinerary

The classic 4-night Anjajavy stay is structured by the lodge as follows. Day-by-day activities are arranged the evening before but a typical sequence:

Day 1 — Arrival and Property Orientation

Charter departs Tana mid-morning, arriving Anjajavy by noon. Lunch served on arrival overlooking the bay. Afternoon: villa orientation, beach, swim, pool. Late afternoon: short guided walk through the lodge grounds with the activities manager — first lemur sighting usually happens here. Sunset dinner at the main restaurant.

Day 2 — Wildlife and Tsingy

Dawn (6:00): coffee on the terrace; resident Coquerel’s sifaka family typically visits the gardens. 7:30 breakfast. 9:00 guided walk to the tsingy formations — 2-hour circuit with photography stops at the dramatic limestone viewpoints. Lunch at the lodge. Afternoon: rest, spa, or beach time. 16:00 mangrove kayaking excursion through the peninsula’s interior channels — birds, occasional mongoose lemur, returning at sunset. Dinner.

Day 3 — Marine and Cultural

Morning boat trip to a nearby satellite island for snorkeling and a deserted-beach picnic lunch. The lodge crew sets up shaded picnic tables on whichever cove has the best conditions that day. Afternoon return to the lodge. 16:00 short cultural visit to Anjajavy village (40 minutes by boat) — fishing village, meet local families, see traditional zebu-cart transport. Evening: night walk on the property with torch — sportive lemurs, chameleons, occasionally aye-aye.

Day 4 — Deep Forest and Departure Preparation

Final morning: full 4-hour deep-forest circuit covering the peninsula’s interior reserve — mongoose lemur, mouse lemur (still visible early), Madagascar fish eagle nest area. Return to lodge for lunch. Afternoon: pack, spa, last beach swim. Evening: farewell dinner. Charter departs Anjajavy mid-morning Day 5 to Tana.

Anjajavy for Honeymooners

Anjajavy is one of Madagascar’s premier honeymoon destinations — frequently ranked alongside Constance Tsarabanjina and Miavana for couples seeking a luxury honeymoon. The property’s strengths for honeymooners:

• Privacy by design: 550 hectares for 25 villas means honeymoon couples genuinely never feel crowded. The peninsula trail system is large enough that you can walk for hours without crossing paths with other guests.
• Honeymoon Suite category: Elevated position with private plunge pool, additional outdoor lounge, separate dressing area. The category is designed for couples.
• Private dining: Beach dinner setups, in-villa dining, and remote-cove picnic lunches all arranged with 24 hours notice. The lodge will create custom honeymoon experiences (rose petal turndown, private chef demonstration, sunset boat with champagne) on request.
• No mandatory group activities: Unlike some safari lodges where excursions are scheduled in groups, Anjajavy’s all-inclusive includes private activity options if you prefer the couples-only mode.

For a complete Madagascar honeymoon plan including Anjajavy options, see our Madagascar honeymoon packages 2026 guide and the 10-day Madagascar honeymoon itinerary.

Practical Tips for First-Time Anjajavy Guests

• Bring a basic naturalist field guide. The lodge’s books are good but well-thumbed; bringing your own ensures you can record sightings without queueing for the library.
• Pack a head torch. The peninsula’s natural darkness is spectacular but villa paths are not consistently lit. Head torch makes nighttime navigation easier.
• Treat the charter’s 15kg limit seriously. Overweight bags can be charged at $25/kg or refused outright. Most Anjajavy regulars travel with a single 12kg soft duffel.
• Don’t over-plan. Anjajavy rewards 1 activity per day, not 3. The property’s pace deliberately encourages slow rather than packed itineraries.
• Tip in USD or EUR. The lodge can convert but USD/EUR is preferred. Bring small denominations ($5–$10 bills).

Anjajavy vs Miavana vs Tsarabanjina: How Premium Travelers Choose

These three properties are Madagascar’s ultra-luxury triumvirate. They occupy similar price brackets ($1,400–$2,800 per couple per night) but solve very different traveler problems. The honest framing — based on the trade-offs we hear from returning luxury Madagascar visitors:

Dimension	Anjajavy	Miavana	Tsarabanjina
Resident wildlife	8 lemur species on property	Marine focus — coelacanth, sharks, whales	None — pure beach
Access	90-min charter from Tana	Helicopter from Diego Suarez	Boat from Nosy Be (50 min)
Villa count	25	14 (lowest density)	25
Land area	550 ha private peninsula	1.5 ha private island	Tiny private island
Closes	Feb–mid March	Open year-round (reduced staff Nov–Mar)	Closed Jan–Mar
Per-couple per night	$1,400–$2,400	$2,400–$2,800	$1,800–$2,200
Best for	First luxury Madagascar trip, safari + beach combo, families	Returning luxury travelers, marine specialists, ultra-private honeymoons	Pure beach honeymoon, no wildlife required

Where Anjajavy specifically wins: The integrated safari + beach experience cannot be matched at either of the other two properties. You wake to resident sifaka families in the garden, walk to tsingy limestone formations in the morning, swim from your private beach at lunch, and return to a Relais & Châteaux dining room for dinner. This isn’t a beach resort that happens to have wildlife — it’s a wildlife reserve that happens to have a luxury hotel on the coast. For honeymooners with any interest in wildlife, Anjajavy is the optimal answer.

Where Miavana wins: Marine wildlife (humpback whales, coelacanth, sharks), helicopter-only access (which delivers a particular kind of glamour), and the Time + Tide operator brand (which carries reputational weight with luxury safari travelers familiar with Time + Tide’s South Luangwa and Chongwe properties).

Where Tsarabanjina wins: Pure beach focus, all-inclusive simplicity, and slightly more accessible booking lead times. For honeymooners who explicitly do NOT want wildlife (and want a Tahiti-feeling experience), Tsarabanjina is the answer.

For the detailed Miavana comparison, see our Miavana destination guide. For honeymoon-specific framing, see our honeymoon packages 2026.

What’s Actually Inside an Anjajavy Villa

Beyond the category names (Garden / Beachfront / Family / Honeymoon Suite), the practical differences worth knowing:

• Bathroom configuration: All categories feature walk-in showers and stand-alone bathtubs. Honeymoon Suites add outdoor showers and dual-sink vanities.
• Climate control: Anjajavy’s coastal climate (May–October) is mild enough that air conditioning is often unused. Villas have AC + ceiling fans + natural cross-ventilation. The property’s eco-design prioritizes natural cooling.
• Outdoor space: Garden Villas have covered terraces (~25 sqm). Beachfront Villas have private decks with direct sand access. Honeymoon Suites add elevated viewing decks and private plunge pools (~12 sqm).
• WiFi: Common areas only by design — the property is engineered for disconnection. Villa rooms have no internet. Confirm before booking if work-from-anywhere is essential.
• Power: Solar + generator hybrid; reliable but quiet hours apply. Standard EU plug + USB. Bring a Type C/E adapter from North America.
• In-villa dining: Available with 4 hours notice; same menu as restaurant plus a curated “in-villa romantic” menu for couples.
• Daily housekeeping: Twice daily — morning service + evening turndown with chocolate placed on pillows and bed already opened.

The Honeymoon Suite category is genuinely worth the upgrade — the plunge pool, elevated deck, and isolated position deliver a meaningful step-up in privacy and dedicated lounge space. Beachfront Villa is the value pick if budget is tight.

Insurance for Safari Travel: SafetyWing vs World Nomads

Madagascar’s remote safari logistics make travel insurance non-negotiable — but the right product depends on your trip profile. Medical evacuation from Anjajavy, Miavana, or Mandrare to definitive care in Réunion or South Africa runs $30,000–$80,000 before treatment. Standard $100,000 evacuation caps on consumer policies are insufficient for a complex multi-leg evacuation.

The two specialist products both Voyagiste readers use:

Feature	SafetyWing Nomad Insurance	World Nomads
Best for	Long trips, monthly billing, evacuation coverage	Adventure activities (trekking, diving, motorbike)
Evacuation cap	Unlimited (Complete plan)	$500,000–$1,000,000 depending on plan
Active sports	Included (snorkeling, hiking, light aircraft)	Explorer plan covers scuba, motorbike, climbing
Billing	Monthly subscription ($45–$70 typical)	Per-trip fixed ($90–$180 for 14 days)
Extension while traveling	Yes, anytime	Yes, must request before expiry
Best Madagascar use case	Standard luxury safari (Andasibe + Isalo + Nosy Be)	Diving-heavy or trekking-intensive itinerary

Our recommendation for luxury safari travelers: SafetyWing Nomad Insurance Complete for the unlimited evacuation cap — the single most important feature when your lodge is 90 minutes by charter from any hospital. World Nomads if scuba diving on Nosy Be is a major part of your itinerary (it’s positioned more aggressively for active-sports coverage).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Anjajavy worth the cost?

For couples and luxury travelers seeking a combined safari + beach + privacy experience in a single property, yes. The peninsula’s geography is genuinely rare — there is no equivalent property in the Indian Ocean that combines this level of wildlife, beach, and integrated luxury at the same scale. For travelers prioritizing pure beach (try Tsarabanjina) or pure wildlife (try Mandrare or Vakôna), other properties are more cost-effective.

Can you do Anjajavy as a day-trip from elsewhere?

No. The 90-minute charter access from Tana is too long for a day visit, and the peninsula does not accept day visitors regardless. Anjajavy is exclusively for overnight guests.

Are children welcome at Anjajavy?

Yes — children of all ages are accommodated, and Family Villas are designed for this. The lodge runs a dedicated kids’ wildlife program with simplified naturalist walks. Children love the resident lemurs (Coquerel’s sifaka families visit the lodge gardens at dawn, making it the easiest lemur sighting in Madagascar). For families with very young children (under 4), discuss timing with the lodge before booking — some activities have minimum age constraints.

What if the weather is bad during my stay?

Anjajavy’s dry-season weather (May–October) is consistently good. During shoulder and low seasons, occasional storms can affect charter flights and limit some excursions. The lodge maintains an indoor activity program (library, spa, cooking demonstration) for storm days. If your charter is canceled due to weather, the lodge typically rebooks within 24–48 hours; ensure your travel insurance covers schedule disruptions.

Can I book Anjajavy with points or rewards?

Anjajavy participates in Relais & Châteaux’s “Route du Bonheur” loyalty program, but the property is not bookable with hotel chain points (Marriott, Hilton, etc.). Some luxury travel agency programs (Virtuoso, Signature) offer added value (room category upgrade, complimentary spa credit) when Anjajavy is booked through them at standard rates.

How is the WiFi and connectivity?

WiFi is available in the main lodge area (restaurant, lounge, library). Villa rooms generally have very weak or no signal — a deliberate choice by the property. Phone reception is poor outside the main lodge; the property maintains satellite phone capability for emergencies. Travelers needing reliable connectivity for work should plan accordingly; Anjajavy is engineered for disconnection.

Is there a dive center at Anjajavy?

No dedicated dive center. The lodge can arrange snorkeling at the local reefs and basic open-water dives for certified divers, but Nosy Be’s dedicated dive operators offer a better dive program. If diving is a priority, combine Anjajavy with a Nosy Be extension.

What’s the tipping convention at Anjajavy?

Tipping is not formally expected but appreciated. Suggested rates: $5–$10 per couple per day for the housekeeping staff, $10–$20 per couple per day for the activities guide, $20–$30 per couple per stay for the restaurant team. Discreet envelope to reception at check-out is the standard.
