This place makes a nice visual first impression - the bungalows are generous in size and there is hot water with good pressure. There is also a nice swimming pool, though the colour is a bit murky...
This is sadly where our favourable impression of Chez Maggie ends. We arrived in the evening after a long journey from Antsirabe, to be greeted by a woman who didn't smile all evening and made us feel like an inconvenience. She also didn't tell us to leave the key if we wanted the room cleaned so it wasn't on the first day, and when I asked about it, the staff acted as though it was my mistake!
Dinner in the restaurant was just awful. We waited an hour for our starter, which was ok, then another 40 minutes for our mains, zebu and chips, which were inedible - tough, grizzly meat. When we asked the woman serving about it, all we got was a glare, and when I complained about the quality of the food, I was told to go and speak to the chef!!
We also made the mistake of having breakfast there one morning - a pathetic offering for 15000ar each.
Another important point is that it is very hot in Morondava and the air-con/fans in the room don't work all the time, turning off always between 3am-6am, which means you wake up very uncomfortable and hot. We were also not happy to find a number of cockroaches in our room during our stay - a first in the many hotels we have stayed in all over Madagascar.
Overall, a disappointing experience - we won't be coming back.
