Hotels near Ianantsony

The rooms are of a good size, with an extra loft bed, nice verandah with two seats and a hammock. The owner was really nice and friendly. The staff were also nice, to the extent we could communicate (it is a francophone country but the guy at the reception spoke some English). I thought the food was great and reasonably priced (Fresh juices for Ar 7000, smoothies for 8-10K and main dishes for Ar 20K - 30- 35K for lobster. The only thing to note is that the kitchen is open from 11:30- 13:30 and then 18:30-20:30. Breakfast is also available from Ar 8K. The boat from Toliara (I used Anakao express, though there is also Anakao Transfert) drops you right in front of Mada Surf lodge in Anakao. It costs Ar 70,000 one way from Toliara (1 hr ride) or Ar 140,000 return. The property is located at a beautiful sandy beachfront with clear & turquoise water. It felt very safe walking around, including to Anakao village. There are several sun beds for lounging. You will be approached by vendors selling handicrafts and massage, but I found them polite when I said no. It would be nice to boost the local economy though - their prices were reasonable. From here, one can easily visit Nosy Ve Island and do some snorkelling. The lodge organises this half-day trip at a cost of Ar 30,000 per person (min 2 pax) or Ar 60,000 if travelling solo. The island charges an extra Ar 25,000 entrance fee and you may incur an extra Ar 5-15000 for an island guide if required (I'd like to say you don't really need one, but it is also a dry tourism season and they kind of depend on this for their livelihood...) Things to note: The lodge is in a village with no running water and electricity. The lodge supplies bucket water from the ocean for flushing the toilets. There is separate fresh water for showering supplied from an overhead tap (where a shower would be). There is no hot water but due to the warm coastal weather, the cold water is manageable.

Really cool place. Nice, friendly staff. Awesome ocean right in front. I recommend a lot.

We loved Auberge de la Table and can highly recommend it. The family bungalow was spacious and has tasteful decoration. One sleeps right next to the Arboretum. Food was great. Staff very welcoming. We will be back!
