6/10 Good

Our room was clean and the staff were friendly. We were disappointed that the "included" breakfast was only available at the hotel across the street on most mornings. The breakfast at the Mangaby appeared only to be available when additional guests were booked. We would suggest that if breakfast is not available onsite, that should be explained in the description on Expedia.

Our stay at the hotel Mangaby was very enjoyable overall. Rooms were clean, and Alberto and Magda were always very friendly and kind and ready to help out. If you're ever in Playa Hermosa, check this place out.

8/10 Very good

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.
