I recommend this one: https://www.facebook.com/Ocean501/.

Ocean 501 is a bit out of town but excellent rooms, food and daytime chill at the beach. One disco in walking distance at the main road, reputable place to meet for TongaSoa girls. Otherwise in the evening take a moto to town.

I fully agree with Amadeuss.

But if I did not mention it it is because:

- when night come, around 18.30, you need to have already your "pillow" as it is far from center. So all qualities on daytime, but even to get a taxi coming there is difficult and long by night (of course if you are a motorbike user it is OK).

- disco Pandora is at walking distance, so what I said above is not applicable on Friday and Saturday night, when Pandora is open (reason for which I booked there several times for week end. By the way: restaurant closed on Monday, so just room to sleep, bar not open).

-only 8 rooms, so often fully booked, and most expansive rooms (1st floor: 70000 AR) have toilets just separated from the room, with no window or air.

-no cupboard so keep your belongings in your suitcase or pack.

Can anyone recommend girl-friendly hotels in Tamatave? Would you recommend Anjara or Miramar?

Hello,

Planning to go to Majunga in March I am looking for an hotel with swimming pool and safe.

There is coco lodge but is a bit expensive 49 euros.

Badamier hotel looks good but no swimming pool!

Is there any swimming pool that you can go by paying a fee even if you are not staying at the hotel?

Are the beach far from the center, and how to go and how much?

Is the sea clean?

Thanks beforehand.

Didn't know there were hotels which weren't girl-friendly in Madagascar.

I confirm: all hotels are GF with "la carte".

Anjara: not far from the center (70 000 AR) . My main complaint is outside dogs barking during the night.

Flamboyant: cheaper (55 000 AR) but lower standard even if partly modernized. And street noise in the morning.

MIiramar: excellent for its swimming pool on daytime, in front of main lyce (Rabemananjary) - giving some opportunities of lycennes 18/19 in classe de premiere or terminal, but not to sleep there: expansive (80 000 AR) for bungalows pretty old with meager renovation. And not near the main road, so at night dependent upon night taxis, as far away from the center. Food is good. Close of the beach to walk on.

La Veranda is presently in upgrade range my best choice (90 000 AR) but high standard of amenities. Quiet but in the very center. 2 mn from La Terrase, 2 mn of Beach street and its all day, evening, night opportunities, 7 mn by foot from Queen's or Neptune, close of good restaurant L'affiche And highly reputed restaurant with style service of La Veranda.

No need to go online in Mada. Just do it the good old fashioned way. Open your eyes and smile everywhere you go. That's it.

Yes and no. There is no general receipe for success. Use all options if you on vacation for 2 or 3 weeks. Before your trip check www. Tongasoa as good resource of many willing girls. Also Badoo is a good database to make early arrangements. On arrival buy a local sim card to communicate with those girls. If nothing to do at daytime walk the roads or the beaches with a smile on your face. Perhaps have a note with your name and local phone number ready to distribute. And as last resort in the evening take a cab to the discos. But as last resort only.

Thanks for this nice report Findgirls. This girl is indeed very sweet, with no pro-vibe at all.

From your experience, the best way to find semi or non pros in Mada is online or do you also meet some of them outside in various places during the day time?

When I am in Tana, I always try to avoid pros. Semi-pros and other never asked for anything upfront and they do not look how much you give to them the next morning. I always prefer LT myself and close to the mongering scene even if Tana is getting more and more dirty.

This one in the picture that I took was in Indra on a Saturday night. She was with her girl friend more dark skinned. Both were available. I thought she was 18 or 19. She told me she was 22.

She was good in bed and very willing to take her own pleasure.

I gave her 40000 ariary when she left. She did not check. Pictures were taken from a low quality smartphone. She was not shy at all about showing her naked body. I avoid to go out at night with expensive phones or cameras there.

I assume you speak French.

I would say it s more than correct and it s the most that guys should pay to avoid inflation for P4P like in other countries.

Keep in mind that a cleaning lady will earn 60000 AR a month.

Regarding the lack of tourists now and specially if you speak some Malagasy you can pay less without any problem specially if it s a nonpro.

In a country when you can actually meet nonpros so easily I don't see the point of going with pros.

I get better service and I m in charge not the girl.

When I m going out sometimes to have a drink and I see pros in discos in Tana asking upfront for 100000 AR I m shocked and I tell them that it s nice to dream.

Unfortunately some guys are weak and pay without thinking and ruin it for the rest of us.

Thanks a lot for your answer PrisonBreak. French is my mother tongue but I don't speak any Malagasy as for now. I fully agree with you about the risk of ruining a place by paying too much hence my questions about the normal / regular prices.

According to you would it be correct to pay the following approximate prices?

TANA ST: 30000-35000 AR.

LT: 40000-50000 AR.

PROVINCES ST: 15000-20000 AR.

LT: 25000-30000 AR.

New name? But same trolling similareties for years.

Ivato.

Back in Mada for several weeks.

I considered to stay one month in Tulear area, but I read in L Express Mada that it seemed very unsecured. With the police renting weapons to bandits! I concluded it was too much!

In fact it was exaggerated and the situation seems the same than in other cities of Mada. I had confirmation from two guys I just met on their way back to Europe who had spent one wonderful month.

So to explain why I finally had a three nights transit in Antanarivo instead of one night, to get finally a flight to Sambava (Antalaha airport is closed because of bad quality of the runway) and I go back to Vanila coast where I had wonderful time in 2014 (cf my posts). I only hope to have not too much rain!

But I decided not to sleep in city center of TANA too polluted for my health.

I wanted to stay in Ivato, but most hotels are either too expansive or far from the main road where you find taxis to go in town when needed. (45 mn 20/30 000 AR one way).

I found through booking.com a good place I recommend, on the road but with rooms garden side: Manga guest house. (100 000 AR + breakfast 8 000 AR).

The problem is that there is no girls bars in this area.

So if you want a girl you will have to go in town to rent temporarily a room there or have extensive taxi costs for the girl if she agrees to come for the night.

An alternative is massage parlors.

One is advertising much: Charmelle Massage (about 500 m from Manga on the road to TANA) . From outside I found it dirty place.

So I opted for another: Alyssia Massage (about 100 m from Manga on the road to TANA), more typical Asian style brothel house.

Wide clean room for 20 000 AR, 60 mn with "standard massage". Meaning of course, you negotiate in room for more.

About 6 girls on a Saturday afternoon, choose one.

I suggested 30 000 AR, (thinking 50 000 AR) but she asked for 80 000 AR.

Looked expansive, but I know it is the standard of massage parlors to reach at least 100 000 AR. I also agreed as she did not ask for any payment before (even the 20 000 AR for room).

Accordingly I was not disappointed: no hassle to finish, choice of positions, especially liked her tits (no baby) to be malaxed. Enjoyed 45 mn.

Finally a good option and cheaper than going to town through traffic jams and spend more maybe for less!

[Traveller22]

I agree and usually Malagasy girls are not shy for pics which is good.

I would say 30000 AR for ST is a bit too much for the province even for pros and with non pros I would pay the same or less for LT without problem.

TANA ST: 30000-35000 AR.

LT: 40000-50000 AR.
