[QUOTE=Golfinho;2440268]80,000? Now you're talking' big money. Big money. That's not really a good example.[/QUOTE]You shall read my message: there are good bungalows for 25.000 existing. Not the crap as you show on your photo. And for 80 k, much less then in your home country for any dirt motel, you get a nice room in Mada.
- not in NosyBe however.
I think picture 1 is showing a room from Ocean 501 hotel which is located near the beach. Can you confirm this, please? Thank you.
[QUOTE=Amadeuss;2440233] Near Tamatve you can find clean and well furnished seaview rooms for a little more. (Pic1).[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Manfield04;2440475]I think picture 1 is showing a room from Ocean 501 hotel which is located near the beach. Can you confirm this, please? Thank you.[/QUOTE]Yes. Correct.
The seaview room is about 80 k. The standard start about 40 k, but you must book early.
[QUOTE=Amadeuss;2440740]Yes. Correct.
The seaview room is about 80 k..[/QUOTE]80 k is small money its just 21 USD. In Kenya no such price can be found on a beach so the real question is about girls, Does you are able to get girls that you like in order to justify the effort to get all the way there. If yes then its fantastic bargain.
Toliara city hotels always leave something to be desire and no beach. Mangily is more then 100 k. Sure you can rent a dog house and convince yourself that you are an explorer a true African pioneer.
Nosy Be? After I got multiple disease there I thing I am not coming back. So now only Toliara option remain.
About the Ylang Ylang apartments in Ambataloaka, Nosy Be, mentioned here before. If you don't particularly care about your accommodation Ylang Ylang is a pretty good find. In Januari 2020 rooms with fridge were 50 k but they are in a bad state. Locationwise you can't get any better. They have free sunbeds to use in front of the sea. You can get the girls from the beach directly to your room. And in the evening you can enjoy the sunset with a cool seabreaze and a glass of wine under the palmtrees while the others are sweating it out. You are also only 200 m from the nightlife at Taxi Be or Billiard. They have no sign outside and no internet presence. You can find the location on mapsdotme. I couldn't handle the sight of the rooms. They where renovating some when I was there.

[QUOTE=CrazyMan;2440832]I believe this is their website: [URL]https://www.ylanghotel.com/[/URL].[/QUOTE]This is different ylang hotel probably 3-4 kilomitres away from all action and much higher price.
I stayed at Ocean 501 Hotel in 2017. I had paid MGA 76,000. 00 for one night for a double room on the first floor. I think it was room number 6. Your can see the beach and sea from the room and its terrace is nice space to relax.

[QUOTE=BrasilSoccer0;2439597]Who here is in TOLIARA or MANGILY right now? Can you give us an idea how life is for you as a monger? Maybe some expatriates living there can explain better![/QUOTE]Brasil. Don't have an answer for you right now, but Toliara is among my favorite places normally. I think you know that.
What I am really writing about is that girl. BRAVO. Nice body. Would love to see her face too. Was this girl in Toliara?
Cheers. VL.
Hey BrasilSoccer. I just tried to PM you and your inbox is full. VL.

The forum has been very quiet. Anyone in the country that can report a reliable status? I have heard a variety of things. Mainstream news has little information with only 121 confirmed cases, certainly an underestimate. Meanwhle, Malagasy friends are reporting stories of people dropping dead in the streets of Tana, almost certainly unrealistic hysteria coupled with lots of conspiracy theory, a common response I think to lack of good information and the distrust of the govt.
Anyone living there have a better feeling for how many cases there are? Are people dying? In infection risk high?
Thanks. VL.

How can you assume it works after testing it on 2 people? This is ridiculous.

Thanks. VL.[/QUOTE]My take on Covid19 is. Its basically the seasonal flu albeit apparently more contagious. It needs the right conditions to rapidly spread. I. e. No wind, high humidity, temperatures around 10°. For me the major annoyance is that I'm stuck in Covid prison as there is no flights. There's a boatload of tropical diseases that are more dangerous in Madagascar. Check the normal death rates. On a good day in Italy 1800 people die for example. I don't think it will spread a lot in African countries. It's simple too hot there. People in the slums will die of hunger because of the idiocy of governments imposing lock downs. Two of my German friends live in Morandave. Their biggest worry is civil unrest. Hungry people plunder their house and make off with the flat screen TV. Not Covid19.
La Buse.

La Buse.[/QUOTE]I thought that too. What you described is the characteristics of a flu virus cell. However, this virus is spreading in all indoor and outdoor environments, temperature, humidity and wind. Its being spread not just from coughing but by the breathing of humans and pets alike. It will likely come in heavy waves until most people either develop immunity or until a vaccination is feasible.
