Nice location with plenty of room for family and nice pool for the kids. Lots of monkeys at location one afternoon and tropical trees were beautiful. Nice outside grill/kitchen area by pool. Close to the beach!

As a group of 10 adult friends/couples it was the perfect set up. Every room had a private en-suite and separate entrance with a key. The communal area consisted of an indoor and an outdoor kitchen and seating area, a pool, a 2 piece bathroom, an outdoor shower and some spectacular gardens. We were walking distance to Cahuita main stretch of restaurants and beaches and the National park. Yves was available and responsive any time we sent a What's App question. He lives on the property, so that added a level of security but we rarely saw him unless we sought him out as he has a fully separate entrance. If I had to list negatives, it would be that the beds were very hard and the pillows were very thin and sparse. The lighting was quote dim and it was a challenge getting hot water but I find this to be the case throughout Costa Rica unless we stay in heavily populated cities, which I prefer to avoid. The town felt safe and welcoming and we will definitely be back.

With three separate bungalows and 5 bedrooms in total (each with a private bath) this property is an excellent choice for larger groups. Everything was very clean. Yves was a pleasure to work with. He even helped us order food when we wanted to have takeout. The pool was very refreshing after hanging out on the beach for a time!

We decided to visit Costa Rica for my 50th birthday, booking Villa Mango for our time there was the best decision ever. The property is beautiful and easily accommodated all ten of us with private bedrooms and bathrooms for each couple. The outdoor eating area was perfect for the meals that we enjoyed as a group. The private pool was so refreshing and very much appreciated on the sunny days. We were able to work with the property manager to have breakfast prepared for us on site each morning and dinners brought in a few nights during our stay both done by local restaurant owners. Our stay here in Cahuita was perfect! If you’re looking for a great place to stay in Costa Rica scroll no further, Villa Mango is everything you could need.

Wir haben uns wohlgefühlt und die Zeit genossen. Das Haupthaus verfügt über zwei gleichwertige Schlafzimmer mit angerenzenden Badezimmer, ansonsten findet das Leben auf der Terrasse statt. Lediglich die nahe gelegene Straße hört man etwas, aber nachts ist alles ruhig.

Villa Mango is a delightful retreat in the heart of the sweet town of Cahuita, a short walk to the national park down a pleasant residential lane. Staying here we got a real feel for what it could be like to live in a small Costa Rican town. The grounds and multiple casitas are beautifully maintained and comfortable with a relaxed, but elegant and artistic feel. We loved how the well thought out spaces allowed for both privacy and togetherness, creating natural gathering spots around outdoor dining, pool lounging and relaxing on the porches. We were delighted to find that even right in town, we were visited by howler monkeys and agoutis! While the property was truly wonderful, the best thing about Villa Mango is it’s host Yves. Yves was by far the most responsive, accommodating and all around lovable host we have experienced in a vacation rental. He really went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Villa Mango holds a special place in our hearts!

My group consisted of 6 adults. First off, I cannot say enough positive things about our host, Yves (aka Ivan).Started before even arriving, he would answer ALL (numerous rounds) of my questions in a timely manner. While we were there, he was a FIVE STAR host. Need a bike…just say the word. Need a taxi, WhatsApp Yves. Need ANYTHING ~ Yves did what he could to accommodate and make it right IMMEDIATELY.He lives on the property, but we rarely saw him. The location of the villa is a 10-minute walk to town and Nat’l Park on a rocky, quiet, safe road. Headlamp/flashlight needed at night as parts are not equipped with street lights.It is also located next to the major highway, which did give us road noise during our stay.However, most times it was able to be overlooked due to activities being enjoyed at the villa. MAIN HOUSE: There are ceiling fans in each of the bedrooms, but the oscillating fans really made the difference as far as cooling during our sleep at night.The bathrooms were large with a nice shower. Shower had good pressure and hot water immediately.The porch had two fans and was a blessing during the rainy days and most evenings.A few nights the mosquitos were out. BUNGALOW #1: This bedroom was quite a bit warmer than the main house. I believe due to smaller room, lower ceiling, and less overall air movement allowed.Yves supplied this room with an oscillating fan, which helped immensely keeping my in-laws cooler.The shower pressure in this bathroom was not nearly as strong as the main house and the water temperature was more temperamental as well.Unfortunately, there were no fans on the porch; therefore, making it too hot to sit and enjoy. We enjoyed the National Park.We did one walking tour with Richard Robinson (HIGHLY recommend him) and many times walked the beach and frolicked in the water. We walked a few times to Playa Negra, north side of Cahuita.It is a rather long walk but doable if the heat/humidity doesn’t bother you.We took surfing lessons from Karina ~ again, highly recommend her as she was very thorough and caring about her clients’ safety. Soda Kawe was our go-to place for breakfast.Another fav spot of ours was the Cahuita Nat’l Park Hotel & Restaurant.This place is right outside the park with a great view and tasty food. We took the bus to Puerto Viejo twice.Recommend doing it if you aren’t in a hurry as the bus is never on time. We enjoyed our stay at Villa Mango in Cahuita and would recommend to others.

Walk to beach, town and any restaurant you could possibly want. Close 20 minute drive to Puerto Viejo. Ivan’s place was very clean and perfect for our family of five adults.

Fantastic property with a very gracious host. Very private property, 5 min easy walk to the beach and town. Everything was very clean and comfortable for 8 people. The pool was fantastic and relaxing. Yves was very prompt at answering any questions or concerns. This is a place we would all stay again. The right place for families or large groups.

This property was just perfect for our family of 5. Pre arrival communication with Yves was so easy and helpful and he was an ideal host the entire stay. The property is private, secure, tranquil and lush. Loved the separate sleeping quarters with private baths, private pool, and all the animals and plants to view while swaying on the porch hammock. Kitchen was well stocked, Yves is a wealth of information and hospitality. We already want to go back!

Our family of 5 adults had a wonderful time at Villa Mango! The grounds are beautiful and the pool was clean and refreshing. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, each with their own bathroom. Really enjoyed having a nice kitchen and dining area. Great location - just a short walk to town. Saw and heard howler monkeys very close to the property. Two adorable friendly cats on site to hang out with (and a third pretty one that was shy). Comfy hammock and great covered porch - loved having coffee out there on rainy mornings. Yves and Elena couldn't have been nicer and were very responsive anytime we contacted them with questions either via What's App or in person. We would definitely stay at Villa Mango again (and hope to soon!) Highly recommend.

We were greeted and treated like royalty at Villa Mango by The Host with the Most, Yves. The rooms and gardens shine with his attention to detail to make our stay there just about perfect. He provided a variety of drinks for us, wine, beer, rum, juice & coffee. His super recommendations led us to the Jaguar rehab center for a fantastic tour, bird & animal watching with a good local guide and a variety of excellent restaurants. There is a huge variety of animals & birds that frequent his property. No kidding, more than what we saw at the Nat’l Park! We spent good times on the deck just watching. We also thoroughly enjoyed his company whenever we could snag him to have a talk during the day, or a drink, in the evening. We are actually having Yves withdrawals since we left Cahuita. The variety of accommodations are very suitable for families or groups friends. It’s lovely pool was great for cooling off. It’s broad, shallow steps would be perfect for kids. We highly recommend Villa Mango & we hope to return.

Our family of three generations consisting of nine people stayed in the three houses located in a magnificent tropical garden. The property is a lovely place to be with swimming pool and outside grill and covered outside dining table which we used frequently. Our host lives on site and was always ready to help in every way and find whatever we needed in the area. He also helped us organize a lovely birthday dinner on property which was a special treat. There were plenty of activities for family members of all three generations. A perfect place for a family vacation.

Wish I could give this listing 10 stars! The home and property were beautifully landscaped and Yves was a most gracious host, going above and beyond to see that we had everything we needed. The main house and bungalows accommodated our group perfectly and every building was clean and well-kept. We had everything necessary to cook our meals when we decided to stay home. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances, pots, pans, and table service for everyone in the group. We also enjoyed a fun barbecue in the beautiful tiki patio area. Once we decided to go out for dinner, there were multiple choices available within a ten minute walk on a quiet dirt road. Our group was able to enjoy the sights and sounds of the rain forest as we saw a Toucan, Howler and Reuses monkeys, and an iguana that graced our presence one afternoon. When we weren't in town or at the beach, a lot of our down time was spent on the front porch of the main house, which proved most relaxing and peaceful. The national park and Playa Blanca beach was located just outside of the village so we were able to enjoy the waves and walk a short distance afterward for dinner. There is much to do in Cahuita as there was a party every night in the village, with loud Caribbean music to be enjoyed. The location of the property is perfect as it is a quick walk to the center of town, but far away enough that the festive music cannot be heard. For further exploration, it is easy to catch a public bus just down the road from the property that runs to Puerto Viejo and Manzanillo and every place in between. There is quite a bit to do in this area, including every kind of tour for zip lining, cacao museum, animal rescue and nocturnal life night tours, just to name a few. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the property as it was truly breathtaking and enjoyable. And Yves was extremely friendly and helpful to us, giving us great recommendations on the best beaches and sights to see, as well as the best days to go to avoid the crowds and he was right on the money with his suggestions. You cannot go wrong booking this property and if you do book, you will not regret it. This was one of our best family vacations we have had in some time. We worried about nothing and were able to relax and enjoy the Costa Rica life. I already want to plan our return trip!

We traveled to Cauita with our 5 year old twins and friend - total of 5 people. The property was excellently manicured and the pool was a big hit with the children. Spacious enough for big groups, and the property kept the kids very entertained. Just a few things to note: the kitchen pots/pans and accessories were a little lacking, but we made it work. The house is close to the highway on Friday/Saturday/Sunday night it was relatively quiet but other nights i was woken up a few times by the trucking traffic There is a casa Sofia which houses two bedrooms (both have ceiling fans) but my daughter complained she was hot - probably needs another fan in each bedroom in casa Sofia.

There was a big group of us and we wanted something close to the beach but also a pool for hanging out. It was absolutely beautiful and exceeded all our expectations. Yves was the best host I've ever had and made sure we had everything we needed and more. Recommend to anyone looking for a private getaway
