Madirokely Beach Tours and Activities

This place really is paradise. Me and my girlfriend spent 9 nights here and had a fantastic time. The bungalows are spacious with your own sun beds overlooking the sea which is no more than 10/20 meters away. Food is very good and the portions are very generous. We did some excursions organised by the hotel and again everything ran perfect and was very enjoyable. The Tuk Tuk drivers and the taxi drivers they use are also very helpful and we felt perfectly safe and happy when we used them. The staff are all very friendly. It’s such a quiet and secluded place, the perfect place to relax and unwind. It also has the most beautiful sunsets every evening we watched them go down and felt very lucky to be in such a beautiful place. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the island.

Le Grand Bleu offers beautiful ocean views, a welcoming pool, and friendly staff. It's best suited for couples seeking a quiet, secluded retreat wanting few off-site activities. Consider before booking: The resort is **not ideal for guests with mobility limitations** due to steep walkways, uneven paths, and stairs. Wi-Fi is only available in the restaurant/pool area. The biggest drawback is the **cash-only policy** & there's no ATM on-site, **Ariary is the only currency accepted**. Plan on at least **€100 per person per day** (converted to Ariary) for meals, drinks, transportation, and incidentals. Each morning you're billed for the previous day's meals. A typical day (tea & toast, dinner for 1, 2 shots of liquor, w/2 colas to mix) was about 140,000 Ariary. This means constantly monitoring cash and making repeated ATM trips instead of relaxing. It felt more like keeping up with rent than enjoying a vacation. The **nearest ATM requires a minimum 100,000 Ariary round-trip tuk-tuk**. Meal service is limited & prices are very high compared to the excellent family café at the bottom of the hill (son speaks French, Italian. & English - bonus!) The "private wild beach" is difficult to reach and not suitable for swimming or sunbathing. Andilana Beach, 2.6 km away, offers a much better swimming beach with restaurants and shops. For those seeking more nightlife, excursions, credit card options, shopping, and dining, the **Ambatoloaka–Madirokely** resort area near Hell-Ville.

Flott lite hotell. Veldig hyggelige ansatte, behjelpelige med alt. Rene rom og god orden på alt. Har motorsykkelutleie. God frokost. Fin beliggenhet. De eneste tingene jeg vil nevne som negative er at de oppskjærte mangoene på resturranten alltid smakte litt løk på endene og at engelskkunnskapene til en del av de ansatte i resepsjonen var så som så. Vil anbefale at hotellet lager et enkelt infoskriv på engelsk som kan ligge på rommene.
