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.

We loved this property. Although an older facility, the staff were amazing and friendly and worked so hard! 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!!!

Nice Family run hotel.

Hotel Mangaby is a nice family owned hotel within a block of the Pacific ocean. The place was clean. The room featured a kitchenette and seating including a couch and 2 chairs. The owner helped us with local transportation. There was air conditioning. I did find the bed a bit firm.

Pleasant Stay at Mangaby

I did the two bedroom suite for a party of two so we had plenty of room, which we did - Overall the property is nice but a little dated - The chief issue we both faced was VERY spotty wifi, which we were both leaning on - The bathrooms could use abs update with no area to place toiletries - The shower bypass took some manipulation to get it too work - The housekeeping staff was very good - The hotel is well situated permitting a short walk to beach or area restaurants - The onsite restaurant never was staffed when we were in hotel so can’t comment in this space
