MAHAMBO BEACH hôtel

No hot water. Dirty rooms. Been told sevral times by the staff they will fix it. Lies and more lies.

AWFUL hotel.
The room was VERY dirty. There was no hot water, so they boiled water for us, but when we went for shower, there was no water at all, so they had to fix it. There was a broken electric boiler, semi attached to the bathroom wall, living a complete hole behind it.
At night when we went for sleep, there were two cockroaches flying in our room. We understand that Madagascar is a place full of insects and animals, but these were there because it was very dirty!
When we woke up there was no electricity in the room, they fixed that as well.
The restaurant was also dirty, and the food was not tasty.
Overall, a very bad experience.
1/5 (only because we cannot give 0)

Offshore, vibrant coral reefs reveal a kaleidoscope of marine life, offering snorkelers and divers an intimate look at Madagascar’s underwater treasures. The surrounding village embraces a slow pace, with colorful fishing boats lining the shore and local eateries serving freshly caught seafood grilled to perfection, often paired with traditional Malagasy flavors like coconut rice or spiced greens. Accommodations range from rustic bungalows to cozy beachfront resorts, creating a balance of simplicity and comfort. Here, life unfolds at a deliberate rhythm, shaped by the tides, the distant crash of waves, and the warm hospitality of the locals, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the soul of Madagascar’s coastline.
