I know an older couple who recently spent 2 years there. They loved it! The people are really nice there. I don''t know much else about it, but I think it would definitely be a cool place to go!

I think Dick Hughes and Mogok (Vincent Pardieu), two gemologists who post on Pricescope, were there together earlier this year, but I may be mistaken!

I don't know if they usually frequent Hangout, but here is the thread about their trip:

Vincent and Dick Do Madagascar

and here is the site to which Movie Zombie directed people (about Madagascar):

Lulu - was that Duke by any chance?? I''m from Raleigh and my friends "adopted" a lemur for me for my birthday from the Primate Center (after I became obsessed with monkeys/lemurs) and it is the coolest place EVER!!

Hehe, except maybe for the resort I have my eye on...

apparently it''s built right on the edge of a nature reserve, and sifakas just wander into the hotel garden all the time!! I found some hotel reviews from other sites and in a guidebook and EVERYONE is talking about how tons of lemurs are just roaming about!!!!

You''ll need a little French to get a true feel for the place. You can buy great gemstones there (Sapphires I think) many different colors). Really cool. The forest is getting chopped down and along with it, the natural wild life at an amazing pace. So you better hurry if you wanna see Lemurs. This sounds really disgusting, but it''s really cool. they have Hissing cockroaches in the forest. They look like beetles, not the nasty little buggers you fine in a diry house or restaurant. Really cool, if you like interesting critters and bugs. have fun! Great Place!
