Book Cheap Hotels in Madirokely

"incredibly polite service"

"Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Rooms were great. Sadly the weather was gloomy and raining. "

"Good that it was an apt so u have kitchen but rooms need some updating. Great location on beach. Some English spoken by some staff but mostly like rest of Nosy Be not so if you dont speak french or English will be hard "

"This is a small property with maybe ten bungalows. Unfortunately it it quite close to a marshy area so there are mosquitoes. The staff are friendly the restaurant food very good. There is a nice pool and sunbathing area. Walking to and from the property at night is not very well lit. Realistically the things we found negative are not the owners fault, but I thought I should note them. 5 minute walk to a lively area with bars and discos, and the beach."

"La Perle Rare is a beautiful hotel. The bedroom was beautiful and immaculate. The bathroom felt luxurious. The Belgian owner was super helpful in helping me to arrange daytrips and transport to/from the airport. The rest of the staff were also very friendly and welcoming. It's only a 5-10 minute walk from the hotel to the beach and the main road of restaurants. But be warned - tourists don't tend to swim at this beach because the water is dirty. My negative comments don't relate to La Perle Rare - they relate to Nosy Be in general, but not sure where else I can capture them to warn others. Nosy Be (as well as several other areas across Madagascar, sadly) is full of white European men - mostly French and Italian - who visit for s*x tourism. Old, unattractive, white European men. Who sit in lines at bars and oogle the local 'women' (often under 18 - so often children) and choose their prey. Madagascar is one of the poorest countries in the world, so they exploit this by paying for cheap s*x from those desperate to make ends meet. I thought I was seeing things, but a bit of Google research confirmed my suspicions. Including a UN report titled 'Madagascar: UN rights expert calls for greater efforts to tackle child s*xual exploitation'. I felt disgusted and ashamed to be a fellow white European. The amount of child pr*stitution is awful. It's undeniably a beautiful island, but I won't be going back there in a hurry as the uncomfortable feeling of being there was pretty intense."
