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.

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.
