Wonderful family operation, friendly, helpful staff, amazing view with lots of wildlife surrounding the hotel. From our door we spotted toucans, macaws, agouti, three types of monkeys, to mention a few. The owner is warm and welcoming. There is a delightful pool overlooking the jungle and ocean. We can’t imagine a lovelier place to stay. It is also very convenient to stores, a very natural beach, and restaurants. There is also a great highly rated Korean style restaurant on premises.

This is a fabulous hidden gem! The rooms, and common areas are beautiful. So much wildlife visits the area you hardly need to leave. Staff go above and beyond. Thanks for a great time in Manuel Antonio!

Seeing monkeys and views were the highlights. Some repairs need to be made to the rooms and the room type we booked wasn't available when we were there.

This place was great. Monkeys everywhere. Staff was amazing. Food was great. Room was large for our family however you could hear everyone around you. Walls are paper thin. Everything else about this place is excellent. For the price I would rent out rooms next to me for some privacy. This would be a great place for a large group or family retreat.

Beautiful view and abundant wildlife! Loved it!!

Very nice staff, went out of their way to accommodate our requests. Setting was beautiful. Meals were great.

It is like being in the Jungle. The monkey's, and different kinds of birds where amazing. The ocean view and sunsets so beautiful.

Great place to see the monkeys in Costa Rica 🇨🇷

If you are looking for wildlife and a gorgeous sea view then stay at the Mango moon excellent hotel

Very nice place, beautiful views. Staff and management very chill, welcoming and accommodating!

Mango Moon is in a great location with a great view. It's the staff that takes it to the next level. You will see the same folks everyday, they all are upbeat and welcoming, a culture within Mango Moon that felt more like home than a small hotel. The hotel itself is pretty quiet being only 10 rooms. Our room was more than what we expected and the stay was even better. Wildlife was abundant with howler monkeys to cans and parrots around everyday. Loved our stay there and hope to be back again sometime soon.

This hotel is hands down the best boutique hotel in Manuel Antonio! The rooms are lovely and very romantic. The pool is great and views are absolutely stunning! The Korean BBQ restaurant that is associated with the hotel is DELICIOUS! And the owner of the hotel is such a sweetheart! Super lovely! And her dog, Lucky, is a doll! Highly recommend!

The staff were marvelous. The were friendly, patient and attentive. The owner is often on site and is a pleasure to chat with along with his faithful companion “Lucky” a local rescue dog that is as sweet as the local fresh fruit laid out for breakfast every morning. (Jake, what is that breakfast seed/nut muesli that was available for breakfast? I can’t find it anywhere but I loved it accompanied with yogurt.) Our time there truly felt like a second home to us with the small number of villas and the open air spaces, amazing views and foliage coupled with the friendliness of the staff. It was all very personal if you want it to be, just be friendly with the staff and they will reciprocate. If you’re there for privacy, that is available to as the staff are attuned to your needs. It really feels like a genuine immersion in “Pura Vida”. I haven’t even mentioned the restaurant there because that deserves its own entry; but i will say this, some of the best dinners I’ve ever had in a hotel restaurant hands-down. We will definitely be back. Thanks Jake, Lucky and the wonderful people at Mango Moon!

Great location near restaurants and Manuel Antonio. The view from the buffet/restaurant is incredible. Breakfast buffet was standard - some local fruits, omelet station, toast and jam, beans and rice and eggs, fresh juices, granola, yogurt, whole apples, a cake pastry, coffee and tea. We had a room in the main building, and it was awful. The bed is hard as a rock. The air conditioner leaks substantially so the floor would puddle with water. They changed out the towels for us several times, but there was nothing else they could do with it. There is mold on the wall beneath the AC and in the shower. The windows are not fully sealed so you hear everything - any traffic outside the window, families eating breakfast on the floor below you, and some bugs get in as well. The rainy day was so loud due to the rain hitting the roof we woke up extremely early. I also asked for a hair dryer to prep for a nice dinner and the first one was melted/didn't work. The second one barely got hot. The restaurant had decent food, korean bbq is one of my favorites so we were excited to eat the "authentic" meal that everyone recommended. We were underwhelmed overall, honestly, and it was very expensive ($90 for a very small portion of galbi, bulgogi, rice and a couple veggies/kimchi, and a scallion pancake.) However, during Happy Hour the next day, the bartender made us Pina Coladas and they were the best I've ever had. Also loved the Mango Moon special - a spicy marg type thing. 2 for one!

My stay at Mango Moon Villa in Quepos, Costa Rica was nothing short of extraordinary. Nestled in the lush Puntarenas Province, this villa is a hidden gem that exceeded all expectations. The villa itself is a tropical haven, boasting a stunning blend of modern luxury and natural beauty. The villa's highlight, without a doubt, is the breathtaking view it offers. From the moment I stepped onto the expansive terrace, I was mesmerized by the panoramic vistas of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding rainforest. Sunsets here are nothing short of spectacular. The location of Mango Moon Villa is ideal. It's a short drive to Quepos, where you can experience the vibrant local culture and dine at some fantastic restaurants. For nature lovers, the proximity to Manuel Antonio National Park is a major advantage. I spent my days hiking through the park's pristine rainforest trails, spotting incredible wildlife like monkeys, sloths, and exotic birds. What truly sets Mango Moon Villa apart, however, is the warm and attentive staff. They went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and memorable. From arranging excursions to offering recommendations for local experiences, their hospitality was second to none.

The hotel itself is absolutely fine, if basic, and the view is really absolutely amazing. We travelled as a couple and booked a superior room, but sadly this had a connecting door through to another room directly. When a family (with young baby) turned up late in the evening, there was loads of noise coming through the door. Unfortunately there was no other room for us to move to, and we were told that the noise shouldn’t be loud due to insulation between the rooms, and slightly insultingly by the owner, “maybe we will feel differently when we have children”. It was later realised that the hotel had forgotten to put any of the insulation between the thin door where our rooms connected. The situation was made pretty awkward given the shared patios and public spaces, by the family (who were asked by staff to keep noise down) as well as reception staff themselves. Recommend to stay if a family / if in need of a budget-friendly hotel with beautiful view. Avoid for anything special or anything more.

Excellent location! Beautiful view of the ocean. Lots of monkeys twice a day!

Nature at its best!

The hotel is perfectly situated, snuggled slightly off the main road, tucked away just enough to avoid the loud noises at night, to hear the wildlife right from your suite and to feel like you are on some secluded area as you gaze off into the most beautiful view.... Some have said they heard noise at night but I can assure you, as I am the lightest sleeper and go to bed fairly early on the regular, that asides from hearing people laughing and dining downstairs, the only noises I heard past 9:00 pm were the cackling sounds of the gecko's and in the early morning the howling from the monkey's and the chirping of the birds. What a wild experience is was. We will be back and I highly recommend you visit the Mango Moon Villa if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed.

Excellent location, close to Manuel Antonio National Park and other coveted beaches! The host is wonderful, she made sure we had everything we need and gave us great tips and directions. Great breakfast, you have to watch out for monkeys who come and steal your food though! Extra points for the sunset view, the best ever!

Beautiful ocean sunset views, friendly staff, great amenities! The room decor and exterior needs a refresh, but otherwise it was wonderful.

Friendly staff, incredible views and tasty (included!) breakfast! Our family of four was welcomed here and the vibe made it feel like home. The sunset views each night were the highlight of our stay, though. Highly recommend, although you may want to bring some earplugs - the AC unit was noisy as was the street, so sleep was hard to come by.

The property was well managed by friendly Fran. She listened and took care of her guests. Beautiful view and wildlife.

Stunning view of the ocean from our balcony. Room was comfortable and enjoyed our private balcony. Restaurant on site provided excellent breakfast and we enjoyed some other meals there too. Fantastic staff! Pool area is somewhat small so a little challenging to find shade and could hear a little sound from other rooms at times. Overall enjoyed our stay very much!

This place is so special! The staff make you feel right at home, everything is clean and tidy. The view is to die for! Every night a truly spectacular sunset. The pool is great for cooling down and the ac works well.

The location and surroundings were excellent. Located conveniently to restaurants and shops, right in the jungle with ocean views. It was an understated, simple hotel (which we liked), however our room was very basic. Our washroom had little storage space and a leaky faucet. In addition, our patio was not very private with other guests cutting across it to access the main stairs. The owner, Fran, was very friendly and an excellent source of information about Costa Rica in general, and local things to do.

The view was spectacular.

We booked a superior room with ocean view and were not disappointed ! The room shares a little deck with the adjacent superior room and the view is so beautiful you will want to admire it all day long. A few negative points: we had dinner at the on site restaurant and the food wasn’t very good. Probably the least tasty meal we had during our 2 week trip in Costa Rica. The breakfast buffet was much better. Then, we had one small bag of laundry done (since the hotel listing mentions laundry services) and they charged us $20 for it !! For one laundry load ! That is the most expensive laundry I’ve had in my entire life.

Super friendly staff and great view of the coast. Breakfast was delicious. Room was ok.

Excellent staff, awesome view and lots of wildlife

Wonderful staff..great view..nice breakfast...the end. My VIP room had no wifi, no tv reception, very hard bed, no chair, no table,no promised food discount and the road to get there is the worst I've seen but it has a nice view and great staff.
