Getting Around

🚌
COOP bus (Taxi-be) 1000

Toliara bus station (Gare Routière) → La Résidence Ankily

30 min · Every 20 minutes · 5:30 AM – 5:30 PM

💡 These larger buses go south along the coastal road. Look for 'Ankily' or 'Amborovy' written on the windscreen. They stop at the main junction; it's a 5-minute walk to the hotel. Cheap but slow, and you'll need small change.

🚕
Local taxi-brousse 1500

Toliara main market area → La Résidence Ankily

20 min · Every 10–15 minutes · 6 AM – 6 PM

💡 These shared minibuses run fixed routes. Tell the driver 'Ankily' and they'll drop you near the hotel. Crowded, cash only, and no fixed stops—flag one down on the main road. Better for day trips than airport runs.

🚕
Toliara Airport Taxi 20000

Toliara Airport (TLE) → La Résidence Ankily

20 min · On demand · Daytime, negotiate for evening arrivals

💡 Agree the fare before getting in. Expect 15,000–25,000 MGA depending on luggage. Most drivers wait outside arrivals; if not, call the hotel for a reliable contact.

🚕
Pre-arranged hotel transfer 25000

Toliara Airport (TLE) → La Résidence Ankily

20 min · By reservation · Flexible

💡 Contact La Résidence Ankily directly to arrange this—it’s the most reliable option, especially for late arrivals. Costs a bit more but includes a driver who knows the hotel entrance. Ask if they can stop for a quick grocery run on the way.
