Tanakoay lodge: Bekopaka accomodation

This lodge ...provide simple bungalow and campsite.There are about 4 bunglows A-shape with thatch roof.Some with 1 queen bed and some with 2 single beds.I asked Tony (the owner) for 2 beds .That day we are the only guest that stay in bungalow so he let me see the rooms and choose whichever I like.All bungalow has it's name.I chose the one named "Vintoy" with 2 beds with private bath.It's very hot.There's no electricity during day time.And at night even there's electricity but they don't have fan anyway.I expect some wind coming through my room a bit ...but ..no. May be because my room wasn't face wind chanel.The room next to me name 'Fody" may be better.Tony suggested us to just open the door all the time and he said no need to be worry about the safety.It's ok.But I still be a little worried anyway.So I have to open the door all night to let the wind coming in otherwise it will be too hot to sleep.

Orchidee du Bemaraha: Bekopaka, Hotel and bungalow

I didn't stay in this hotel but I had chance to visit the front area because of the kind french couple who brought us from the car break down along the way (according to the story in previous tip.)Their driver and guide were so kind to us too cuz they told us to wait and they'll send us to our hotel later.So I had chance to take some pic of hostel Orchidee du Bemaraha which is quite good and high end type here.It's not far driving from the river.In the middle of forest they have a small swimmming pool!!.After such a long and hot day,we all want to jump in the pool immediately even before checking in the hotel.But I'm not their customer,so I only took some pic to share with you.It looks nice ,clean, and expensive.I don't know how much but checked from other source which said it's about 45 euro in high standard private double room(6 rooms bungalow type)and 10 big tents with bed and shared bath ,overlooking the lake for 20 euro/tent.They alos have single room ,family room for 4 and 6 persons as well(70 and 100 euro).But all of these ,I didn't see by own eyes ,just try my best to find info for you all.
Here are pics of their swimming pool and the main hall that serve as reception and bar and restaurant.They said the food are very very good.

Bekopaka accomodation

It's not hard to find accomodation in Bekopaka.Most people booked some rooms in advance.But if you need basic and cheap accomodation ,at least 3 places near by the ferry crossing point and also near the park entrance.Two on the north shore and one on the south.
1.ANGAP camping,they said is cheapest one,with very basic,shared facilities and need to bring your own equipment.
2.Camp Croco (Tel. 22 630 86)south side of river.It's safari style tents with bed,shared facilities.They said the tents are large and comfortable.Restaurant serve good food.Price for 2 persons in 1 tent is about 40,000 Ar.
3.Camp Manambolo ,is on the north shore next to ANGAP.Basic and shared facilities,shady by mango trees.You can rent or bring your own tent.They said good and tasty food as well.The price is about the same as ANGAP camp.

Le Bourgain Villiers: Beach hotel

This hotel is located right on the beach,very good location.I stayed in the bungalo style with thatch roof.They provide portable fan.The wind from outside can get through if we open windows or the back door,so it won't be too hot.It's twin room and room size are quite big.Toilet and shower area is right behind the bed with only small partition wall in between.Hot shower 24 hours,mosquito net and a wardrobe.I paid 50,000 Ar.per night.I like this hotel very much.No complain about anything.Service was good ,staffs were friendly,especially Mr.Vincent whom I contacted with about the hotel booking and information about Tsingy tour.

Le Trecicogne: Clean, pleasant and good value

I arrived in Morondava with nowhere to stay, so I hit the sand and started looking. I walked down the road going into each hotel and asking for rates, and I was astonished at how expensive it was. Having just come from some really primitive accommodation I was really hoping for something with hot water and a little shine but it looked like I couldn't afford it. Then someone directed me to Le Trecicongne, it was all the way towards the end of the road. It was about 38,000AR for an ensuite for the night, far less expensive (by nearly half) than other places I'd looked at. It was spotlessly clean, well furnished (even a bit stylish) with a fan, mosquito net, plenty of space, and an immaculate bathroom with hot, high pressure (relative to Madagascar) water. I stayed there the whole time I was in Morondava and it was definitely the best place going.

The breakfast is pleasant. Staff are very friendly and helpful, one even spoke some English. I was travelling solo and hoping to go to the Tsingy and the receptionist found some other (lovely) people at the hotel who were planning a trip and arranged for me to go with them. It would have been an unaffordable trip if he hadn't intervened.

Overall Morondava is not great but the tsingy are cool and Le Trecicogne was a great place to stay.
