BEST LOCATION-CASA MANGÓ Charming 2-bedroom apartment with WiFi >Pet friendly<

Very cute house and had all the amenities. Location was perfect and everything was relaxed island vibe. Thank you!!

Overall we had a good stay - the house is spacious, it was clean, and the location is convenient. The various animals around the property (chickens, roosters, cats) were fun, but I would caution that this may not be the best place to stay if you’re traveling with anyone who wants to sleep past 7 AM. Fortunately we were only there for one night so my two teenagers managed to survive. :)

Casa Mango was magic for our family of five. It fits in with the Esperanza vibe in the best possible way. The host was extremely responsive, replying to two questions we had during our stay within minutes in each instance. We only used a couple of the beach equipment items, but there are many things on hand for kids and other beach goers if anything gets left behind. We did hear noise at night from roosters and street traffic — but this was more a flair of authenticity than a bother for us. And the street noise seemed to dissipate by around 11 pm each night. The place was clean, we did see a spider here and there, but we didn’t mind. The house strikes a peaceful balance with the nature surrounding it. It’s a great place for mid-sized families like ours who have kids that are entertained, not frightened, by friendly stray cats, chickens, and the occasional horse walking down the street. The air-conditioning units do their jobs in bedrooms at night and windows don’t have glass but fans and natural airflows keep the temperature in check during the day. It isn’t new or especially modern but the important things work. We rested well at night and rested comfortable during the day when it rained. What most stands out about the place is the incredible overall value, convenient location, and uniqueness for those looking for a little more than just a sterile beach vacation. We would love to stay here again!

Not a great stay for me. Between the roosters and the malfunctioning air conditioning units, it was always incredibly loud. Not peaceful at all. I somehow got more mosquito bites and various insect bites inside that house than on any beach or outdoors. I knew the AC was going to be in the room, I guess I just thought it would extend to other parts of the home. It did not. It’s was an unbearably uncomfortable stay for me, constantly itchy, sweating and alarmed. I will also say I was working through the stay and was asked to put myself on mute on a zoom call due to the alarming and distracting sounds of the roosters. Maybe if you’re only using the space to sleep and you’re okay sleeping underneath layers of bug spray you’ll have a more pleasant time.
