We had the pleasure of staying at Kokoa Sands Guesthouse for 5 days. Our accommodation was on the ground floor of the lagoon villa, offering breathtaking views and a terrace right in front of the house. Waking up to the sight of the sea was truly amazing. Although Kokoa Sands is located a bit offsite, about a 2-hour drive from Tulear, mostly on a sandy road, the journey is well worth it. The beach and sea there are incredibly beautiful, and most of the time, you'll have the beach all to yourself, with only a few locals around. It's the perfect spot for relaxation and seclusion! Pearl and Jean Michel are incredibly attentive to their guests, going above and beyond to make you feel like part of their family rather than a stranger in a hotel. While Kokoa Sands is a small establishment, don't expect the luxury of a 5-star hotel. However, you won't miss it at all. The food, prepared fresh three times a day by the local team, is absolutely amazing. In fact, it was the best food we had during our three weeks of traveling through Madagascar! The three dogs, Mango, Samba, and Bandit, are also very caring. They even join you on your beach walks or runs, ensuring your safety. We absolutely adored this place and highly recommend it as a little hideaway in the most stunning corner of Madagascar!
