Hotels with Parking in Anakao

Friendly people nice owner great location

This is the best place to stay in Anakao. Unlike many travellers, we were coming not after long auto trip from Antananarivo, flying to Toliara instead. So we were not tired and open to everything. This place has amazing relaxing vibe, with everything very well-thought and designed to bring privacy, tranquility and sense of being at the immaculate nature beach part of Madagascar. The other properties at Anakao are too close to the boat arriving site and local village that is very nice to visit and might be eat/drink at local restaurants, but missing the real beach feeling. La Dune des Songes is 20 mins walk away from all that, with the porter guys carrying your luggage. Sea view and sound of waves is just great to get that tropic feeling, the beachfront villa where we were staying in was very comfortable, clean and beautiful. You can see both sunset (sea view) and sunrise (bush view) from your villa, choosing between sofa, hammock, sun lounges or your own bar deck with bar chairs. Food is chef-grade, very exquisite and diverse, also the size of the meals are enough even if you are hungry. You have some choice like fish/meat/veg but you don’t need to think much and this adds to the overall relaxation. Amandine the owner and her staff are super-friendly and ready to do everything necessary to make your stay great. We had terrific boat trip to see the whales and visiting the perfect white sand turquoise sea Nosy Ve onboard of local pirogue boat with motor. Chef was coming with us to prepare the lunch (salad, grilled fish and vegetables with rice), and the sailor guys were very professional, bringing us to see some 5 whales coming out of the water and later to the reef for snorkelling. The way back was under the sail. One more thing to mention are great bar cocktails and decent wine selection.

This was the best stay in three weeks in Madagascar. Amazing place, quiet, every bungalow has a wonderful terrace and absolute privacy. Solar hot water heating is a great idea and it works much better than poorly functioning showers with a small current everywhere else. Quite and peacefull. A very pleasant restaurant with a terrace and a chillout zone with a view of the sea and the sunset, and last but not least, great cuisine and nice people. Make sure to stop here and don't be afraid to stay for a few (better more than less) nights. It's great relaxation, which you can supplement with diving or snorkeling. You won't need anything more than a swimsuit, it will give you a good mood here.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Safari Vezo. The location is perfect for those wanting to get away from the hustle of the city and go to a beautiful emerald water paradise. Keep in mind that it is not a first world country and that the modern luxuries of the first world are not present. That being said, the bungalow is precious and the food is incredible. The owner made sure that we were very taken care of and the staff are always checking on you to ensure an enjoyable stay. The property manager Anna is a gem indeed. She is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure your taken care of. One thing that is a must while staying at Safari Vezo is to take the boat from the hotel to the island Nosy Ve. It is a half hour transit to the island and the beach is a tropical paradise like we see in luxury magazines and movies. Definitely, definitely take lots of water and sunscreen since this location is very hot and sunny with no shade. One thing to consider before taking the Anakao Express speed boat from Tulear over to Anakao, is to make sure you have plenty of mobile money or Ariary to pay for your room and meals. Americans need to be aware that debit cards are not accepted anywhere you will go in Anakao. Thank you Safari Vezo, we shall return soon.
