There is plenty of wildlife around (Howler Monkeys, pizotes, raccoons, skunks, exotic birds); and it’s an easy walk to the beach. Plenty of eating options, and there’s a convenience store a 6 minute walk away. Good place to crash while enjoying the beach life.

The management was so helpful and willing to be flexible and accommodating. My husband needed medical treatment and the hotel staff made the calls needed to get us help. We also got a bigger room at the end of our stay. The pool was really nice.

First let me say I am not a "5 star" traveller. I have stayed at many 2 and 3 star properties in many countries and understand things are different in 2nd and 3rd world tropical countries. But Hotel Mangaby was unacceptable. Stay away. Bathroom not cleaned . Garbage full of last guests' dirty smelly toilet tissue. Cockroaches in the bathroom and around the bed even with the lights on! Imagine if I shut them off. The lady at the desk kindly helped me get a taxi and another hotel. I booked 2 nights and can understand paying for 1 night( I stayed none) but the hotel manager insisted on keeping payment for the second night as well. I guess that's how they make their money! Stay away...trust me. It's not worth it. I've never submitted such a bad review anywhere. I wouldn't stay for free...or even if you paid me!!

The hotel and the owners are fantastic! I read other reviews from recent travelers, and I have to say that this was a fabulous value and a really comfortable hotel. The staff is so accommodating. If you are looking for a luxury getaway with all the bells and whistles, this is not the place for you. HOWEVER, all of our needs were met, the pool and pool area are great, the private patio area for each room is fantastic, room service is very thorough and the place is clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay again on our next trip back. The location cannot be beat! The only negative was that the poolside bar/restaurant was not open during our stay due to staffing issues. This would have made it so perfect, but it was perfect none the less!

The owner was so friendly and helpful! It is close to the beach, and several excellent restaurants. There are mini suites, or standard rooms. We had a suite, which was well stocked with dishes, flatware, pots, pans, blender, slow cooker, and toaster. Also pitcher, cups, glasses for wine, and rocks drinks. We were only there for 3 days, and it was a nice stay!

Check in staff was rude. Had a suite so no free breakfast (didn’t realize when I upgraded rooms) yet no coffee in the room not was there a cooktop for me to make breakfast. Even some of the worst places I stayed have coffee in the rooms. Clean and in a great location but definitely past its prime. Bed was as hard as a rock. Still upset that the upgraded room cost me the free breakfast!
