Mango Moon Villa

We traveled to Costa Rica last week as a family and mango moon made the trip one of the best we have ever had. The owner and staff made us feel as though we were family and spent quality time with all the guest throughout the week we were there. I give the restaurant and bar five stars for both food and drinks. Our room had the best view which included the ocean and the rainforest with a sunset each night. The staff would also set up transportation both to and from any destination, we wanted to ensure we made it back to the hotel safely. I wish I knew all the staff’s names, but Liliana and Jorge were awesome as well as the two staff at breakfast. If you want to see wildlife, this is the place to stay. Each day we had a monkey, bird, and sloth show from our balconies. I have nothing but good to report about the mango moon. Sincerly Troy

OUTSTANDING SERVICE. We stayed only one night but wish we could have stayed more. We will be back to stay longer next time. The wonderful staff met us and lead us to watch a beautiful sunset and see monkeys just off the balcony. Once checked in our room was quaint and comfortable. Our family took dinner in the restaurant which is a unique and excellent Korean barbeque. The location is near the national park which but we saw more diverse species at Mango Moon Villa while we relaxed in the pool and on the balconies. What a wonderful family owned business.

The vibe was laid-back and relaxing. We had a larger room for our family of 5 which included a spacious balcony. We saw numerous monkeys (3 different types!) and macaws and had a breathtaking view of the Pacific. Breakfast was delicious. The staff was warm and friendly. I would love to return!

Cute hotel Friendly staff Beautiful view, good food Loved the wildlife that comes to this hotel sometimes Bed is very uncomfortable Bathroom needs update, no where to set your toiletries Toilet needs updating kept running I kept adjusting it to not waste water Pools need a little resurfacing A/C workers great Nice TV so you can login to stream if you have accounts Not easily as walk able as I hoped it would be, streets are steep, no sidewalk and lots of fast cars! So you will taxi a lot ( no Uber's) Taxi is $10 per ride on average even to the beach The room I had did not have a private balcony as it appeared in the photos it is a walkway ( but beautiful view) The door to your room is a sliding glass door Without a door knob, meaning you had to have the key in the lock when in there in case of an emergency and you wanted out of your room but you wanted the door locked for safety.....so it was weird But cute hotel

This is a great place, and keep in mind it's a 3-star so it's not going to be perfect and posh. The view is amazing, the pool area is beautiful. It has a cool, kind of boho vibe. We saw more animals from our balcony than anywhere in Costa Rica! The rooms are clean and lovely, but again don't expect luxury and flawless.

The staff were marvelous. The were friendly, patient and attentive. The owner is often on site and is a pleasure to chat with along with his faithful companion “Lucky” a local rescue dog that is as sweet as the local fresh fruit laid out for breakfast every morning. (Jake, what is that breakfast seed/nut muesli that was available for breakfast? I can’t find it anywhere but I loved it accompanied with yogurt.) Our time there truly felt like a second home to us with the small number of villas and the open air spaces, amazing views and foliage coupled with the friendliness of the staff. It was all very personal if you want it to be, just be friendly with the staff and they will reciprocate. If you’re there for privacy, that is available to as the staff are attuned to your needs. It really feels like a genuine immersion in “Pura Vida”. You can be sitting on the lanai enjoying your perfectly brewed Costa Rican coffee and listen to howler monkeys nearby as a troupe of macaws depart their nearby nest for their morning rounds. It is all quite serene, stimulating and idyllic if it is possible to be all those things. I haven’t even mentioned the restaurant there called, “Carambola” because that deserves its own entry; but i will say this, some of the best dinners I’ve ever had in a hotel restaurant hands-down. We will definitely be back. Thanks Jake, Lucky and the wonderful people at Mango Moon Villas!
