"Great location. Spacious unit and well appointed. BUT on a very warm and humid weekend, the air-conditioner was broken and offered no relief. We were given a pedestal fan (no ceiling fans in the unit) which offered only mild relief. Management suggested many other properties did not use a/c (though lots of a/c were heard) and to open up the windows and doors which were all unscreened. We expressed concern about bugs but we were told that on Maggie Is there are very few. We tried all windows and...

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (15)
"The self contained unit was well present and very clean. Set with all the necessities to make our stay easy and relaxing. Communication with manager Monica was clear and direct. She was knowledgeable about the island and happy to share. The accommodation is on a bus route and close to the local shops. The pool was a particular treat. Surrounded with lush greenery, shady for almost the whole day and temperature was pleasantly cool. Absolutely would recommend!"

The Little Bush Hut, Nelly Bay
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (11)
"The Little Beach Shack is lovely.. set in natural and very private surroundings. My husband and I enjoyed the peace, seclusion and watching the wildlife from our terrace. The Shack itself is very comfortable and extremely well equipped. The bed is comfortable and the furniture is also relaxing. A full sized fridge is always a good thing and the cooking facilities are very good. The inclusion of two bikes is a good idea for some people and the choice of two outdoor sitting areas (front and back)...

Spent almost 200 euro on roaming the three days. Local contact said would do his best but no luck. Communication complicated too with local contact as network not working, payment was...
