Check in staff was rude. Had a suite so no free breakfast (didn’t realize when I upgraded rooms) yet no coffee in the room not was there a cooktop for me to make breakfast. Even some of the worst places I stayed have coffee in the rooms. Clean and in a great location but definitely past its prime. Bed was as hard as a rock. Still upset that the upgraded room cost me the free breakfast!

A basic motel with a nice pool area. The room had a safe but the room doors for entry are dual sliding glass and not very secure. Very flimsy lock throw that didn’t catch half the time. I was diving the day I checked out and asked if I could store one suitcase until 3pm in office. Lady at check in was fairly surly and unhelpful. Told it was impossible. Which was weird as she was sitting there with no customers on her phone.

It is a small property, very close to the beach, nothing outstanding, just another motel, good enough to sleep at night. Clean, quiet, decent breakfast. But not outstanding in any way.

Nice clean hotel, but don’t expect an early meal.
Mangaby is close to the beach and has two troops of Howler Monkeys nearby, a big plus for me. It was generally lean, and the maid came in daily. We had a little trouble getting breakfast on time. One morning, we were being picked up at 7:00 for an excursion but the hotel would not serve breakfast until 7:15 at the earliest. So even though we had paid for breakfast and requested it early, we could not get it. Another morning, we requested 7:15 breakfast due to a 7:30 pickup. That morning it was ready about 7:30. No refund for breakfasts we could not get.

We loved this property. Although an older facility, the staff were amazing and friendly and worked so hard! The breakfast was so delicious and Magda at the front desk was a sweetheart and helped us so much! We would definitely go back. Our balcony was used daily for bird watching, iguana sightings and viewing the vegetation around the pool. It was extremely quiet and enjoyable. Ty Hotel Mangaby!!!
