Breathtaking location, kind and friendly hosts (Agnes &Jo), child and family welcoming villa, home away from home. Thank you for all your help, advices and welcoming my son and me at your wonderful place.🙏

A magical life in the midst of the jungle. If you want to live in a beautiful villa amidst the jungle and watch birds, squirrels, and monkeys during breakfast - this is the place for you. Wonderful hosts: spacious rooms and delicious breakfasts. A 10-minute walk to the beach. And it's the most picturesque beach in the area.

Everything was great

I can't praise this place enough! Agnes and Jo were incredibly kind and ensured we had a perfect stay. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of options. The pool was a highlight for me. Everything was spotless, and the view is simply breathtaking. There's even a spot on the terrace for yoga or weightlifting. The beach (Playa Pelada) and restaurants are closer than I expected, just a 10-20 minute walk depending on your destination. The rooms are cozy and clean, though the walls are a bit thin, so sound carries—but this didn't bother us. If there were still rooms available, I would have extended my stay. Thank you very much for your wonderful hospitality.

Exactly as described and so wonderful! Loved the pool, ocean views, delicious breakfast, spacious room and friendly and personable owners! We saw so many animals, too! Howler monkeys, birds of many varieties, etc.

Breakfast was amazing, met some other cool people and walked to a more private chill beach than the hustle bustle beach of guiones

Weak water pressure in the shower. Apparently, this is a common problem for the area.

We loved our stay at Villa Mango B&B. It had everything that we needed. Beautiful property with a fantastic view, pool, good breakfast options, access to a fridge with a variety of beverages for purchase or storage of our own drinks or food. The hosts were fantastic and very accommodating.We spent 7 nights at Villa Mango and would definitely come back again. Thank you, Guillaume and Lissane, for making our stay enjoyable

Nothing

The hospitality of the hosts made you feel directly at ease and at home. The stay itself is truly amazing where you can fully relax. The view from the stay towards the ocean is incredible.

It was a little tricky to get to up a gravel hill. This was all

Salt water pool, amazing views and lovely and sociable hosts

There isn’t very much parking and the spaces are a little tight. Breakfast was sufficient but could be improved a little.

The B&B has an interesting architecture that reminds me of the southwestern US. The room and common area are very comfortable. You can relax in a hammock and watch the howler monkeys outside. It’s just a short walk to a nice biological reserve with trails that pass through a mangrove forest.

the most wonderful room, nice breakfast and very welcoming hosts

The road up was a challenge - you need a good car or brave Tuk-Tuk driver.

Such a perfect spot at the end of the road, high above the beach. Views and quiet, just howler monkeys. Our hosts were so welcoming and gave us insider tips from their 21 years in the area. Lovely, gracious space - we were so pleased to have stayed there. The pool is so refreshing and the breakfast & chatting with fellow travelers was great!

Bed could have been more comfortable.

Excellent breakfast and great, friendly owners. Definitely a good value for expensive Nosara!

Beautiful property! The hosts are so lovely. The terrace has a stunning ocean view and the pool is refreshing and clean. It is a very tranquil place and also can be social, with lots of board games in the main veranda, and a communal breakfast with other guests and the owners each morning.

Gorgeous place, right in the middle of the jungle.

The only negative was some difficulty in locating the B & B - no fault of the owners as the area is undergoing constant development with roadworks, heavy tourist traffic & building works adding to the general generic chaos that’s a part of travel in Central America.

The design & construction of this B & B was a work of art & a testament to Joe’s woodworking skills. Every detail of our room & the shared areas were designed with love & pride. The beautifully designed, comfortable & spacious lounge is situated in a way that provides a wonderful view over the coast. Joe was extremely welcoming, provided practical information about the Nosara region & is a very interesting & entertaining raconteur. The breakfast spread was by far the best I’ve encountered in my years of travel. Sitting at the handsome table, (designed & handmade by Joe) with the other guests, was a very easy & sociable start to the day. I can’t speak highly enough of our stay as Joe & his partner (who was overseas at the time of our stay & whom Joe obviously adores & credits with keeping the place, & him, together) have obviously worked hard & thoughtfully to provide a space where we were treated like friends welcomed into their home.

Although we became friends in the end, the initial meeting was a bit unfortunate as our room was changed without notice. It worked out in the end, but initially, we were told such a thing 'normally wasn't an issue', as if our being frustrated that we weren't getting the same room that we booked was unreasonable. I also didn't like that we were told we would need to pay $10 to use the air conditioning, and only once we realized the room was different from the time of booking did they decide that we could use it due to the inconvenience. Also, I was bitten by bed bugs, and although they tried to clean the mattress and sheets, I was bitten again by many more (or more angry) bugs, which became quite an issue going forward for me. The owners only did the bare minimum and never actually apologized for the inconvenience nor offered any deduction due to the very painful and itchy experience. I sincerely hope they take this issue more seriously so the bugs don't spread to other travellers.

The owners are pleasant and sociable. They created a nice environment for guests to hang out and get to know one another. Their groundkeeper was INCREDIBLY helpful for my mother who got injured and needed assistance to move around. The owners were also helpful in providing information and assistance during this unfortunate event. The pool and upstairs space are nice to hang out and relax.

You do need a car or a quad and it’s just a little too far to walk to the beach but again great for the value and very comfortable.

Such a lovely couple and such a sweet place! My room was big and spacious, bathroom was a lovely design! Breakfast was a nice communal time. I really enjoyed my stay

Nothing! Just wish we'd have paid for aircon but we only stayed for 1 night

The location was incredible, in the jungle with views of the sea. The pool was a really nice area to relax. The room was amazing, spacious, clean and great views The breakfast was delicious and the couple that run it were really welcoming and helped us plan where to visit and eat nearby

Everything was great.

Agnes and Jo are both welcoming and friendly. Jo explains the whole local area with a map giving you tips on best places to eat and go. Any need you have is catered for, to their best of their ability. The staff are friendly and helpful. Villa Mango is very comfortable, lots of places to relax in the shade while watching the wildlife from the jungle below. The pool is partly shaded from lunchtime onwards - which is just fabulous as you get to be outdoors and stay cool. Lots of opportunities to see wildlife just from being there. The communal breakfast around the wonderful big table every morning helped with exchanging info about local area and other places in Costa Rica with other guests. Jo and Agnes, eat with you so you get to know them and can ask any questions about area too. It's like being a part of a big family every morning. We felt really looked after. So much gratitude in our hearts for the welcome and stay at Villa Mango with Agnes and Jo. Thankyou! Pura Vida!
