Pros:

Everything was perfect! The room was big, beautifully decorated and so comfortable. The views of the fields was gorgeous, so much wildlife to watch form the balcony.

The best thing about Mango Shade is the hospitality from the owners. A young husband and wife who welcome you in to their home. The home cooked breakfast is amazing and well worth having. Thank you for having us!!!

Loved it! Would definitely recommend and come back
Pros:

This stay was a amazing! We loved the location, perfectly in between all the places we wanted to see and not in a loud area. The views from the balcony were amazing and gave us access to some really sweet nature.
The family is so sweet and made us feel very welcome. A/c worked great and so did hot water.

Cons:

The wifi could be a bit spotty but that was the only downside.

Perfect
Pros:

We booked quite late, but this was no problem. We were welcomed by the friendly hostess, and she showed us the room.

The room was spacious and clean.

Cons:

Although very minor, the light(s) from the fuse box were illuminating the room.

Pros:

Of all the places we have stayed, this has been our favorite. It is a 5 minute walk from the beach and has a beautiful view. The owners helped us with information and good recommendations, the family is a 10. The breakfast is exquisite, fresh and made with love. You can also dine there, if you ask them. They are always available for a conversation and to help you with whatever you need. If I came back, I would stay there without a doubt.
