I stayed with family for 12 days. The hotel is very clean, lovely swimming pool, and very friendly staff. Several restaurants are within walking distance as well as a beach. Our room had very nice beds and excellent air-conditioning. The view outside our room was beautiful. I highly recommend Staying here and it is also family friendly.

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 pool and waterfall were fantastic! Ability to have a freshly cooked breakfast, not just a buffet, was great, but would like more options. If you get up early enough, but after dawn, you can see monkeys traveling around. A little better insect pest control would be nice, but you're in the jungle, so some is unavoidable.

This was a perfect stay for us, just what we needed after a red eye. The rooms were comfortable and clean and they had a nice outdoor patio for us to hang out on. The pool was clean with comfortable lounge chairs. We didn't try their breakfast, not up early enough :( ... I really liked playa hermosa for just one night, maybe 2. The beach is 2 minute walk one way and not very busy and the restaurants are 2 minutes the other way.

I recently stayed at the Mangaby hotel and had a mixed experience. While I enjoyed the pool and terrace amenities, unfortunately, the cleanliness of the hotel was not up to par. We found cockroaches in our room on both nights of our stay, and there was a consistently unpleasant odor. Additionally, the furniture was quite old, and the refrigerator had rust. On the positive side, the air conditioning worked well, the TV signal was good, and the Wi-Fi coverage was excellent. The hotel's location was also a highlight, as it was conveniently located near some great restaurants and just a short walk from the beach. Overall, while there were some enjoyable aspects of our stay at the Mangaby hotel, the cleanliness issues detracted from the experience. I would recommend that the hotel management prioritize improving the cleanliness and upkeep of the rooms to ensure a more pleasant stay for guests in the future.

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!!

We were very pleased with our stay at Hotel Mangaby. Our room was clean and very comfortable, the hotel cleaning service made sure of this. Great job ladies!!!! We enjoyed the continental breakfast that was offered, the pool and waterfall were lovely, and the staff were always smiling and very friendly. The hotel is a 5-minute walk from the beach and many restaurants. I would recommend Coco Viquez restaurant. Delicious food and for a reasonable price. Thank you Alberto, Nelsy and Magda for your great recommendations, your assistance in calling taxis to get us to and from our adventures and most of all making us feel welcome and at home. See you again soon.

Breakfast is modest too. Fruts are cheep in CR. I do not know why the small portions and not so good looking. Pleae improve breakfast. The best is the nice pool

The breakfast was so delicious and Magda at the front desk was a sweetheart and helped us so much! We would definitely go back. Our balcony was used daily for bird watching, iguana sightings and viewing the vegetation around the pool. It was extremely quiet and enjoyable. Ty Hotel Mangaby!!!

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!

A basic motel with a nice pool area. The room had a safe but the room doors for entry are dual sliding glass and not very secure. Very flimsy lock throw that didn’t catch half the time. I was diving the day I checked out and asked if I could store one suitcase until 3pm in office. Lady at check in was fairly surly and unhelpful. Told it was impossible. Which was weird as she was sitting there with no customers on her phone.

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!

Mangaby is close to the beach and has two troops of Howler Monkeys nearby, a big plus for me. It was generally lean, and the maid came in daily. We had a little trouble getting breakfast on time. One morning, we were being picked up at 7:00 for an excursion but the hotel would not serve breakfast until 7:15 at the earliest. So even though we had paid for breakfast and requested it early, we could not get it. Another morning, we requested 7:15 breakfast due to a 7:30 pickup. That morning it was ready about 7:30. No refund for breakfasts we could not get.
