4/10 Fair

The 6 person suite was outdated and didn’t quite match the expectations from the online pics. It also had bits of sand on the chairs and sofa upon arrival which was still doable by our group as we just put towels over when we sat. The thing that was difficult to deal with was the amount of larger brown ants crawling on the floor and walls we discovered when we finally got in after a long day and were ready to just sleep. We ended up killing as many as we could and pulled the beds away from the wall, only to discover from the dirtiness under that the bed clearly hadn’t been moved in a while to get a decent clean in. The window was open upon our initial arrival, so maybe this is how the ants got in and hopefully it’s not an ongoing problem. We only spent a night here, but it’s not a place we’d do again even though it’s so close to the beach.

Clean and modest hotel - close to the beach
This a modest hotel. I rented an apartment. It had 2 bedrooms,Tvs and well equiped kitchen. It has a fridge too. The beds are not good.. they are old and heavy. the doors do not close because of the beds.. you need to move the beds to be able to close the doors ! dining table, chairs, are old.. the apartment needs an upgrade- we paid $254 for one nitght. Breakfast is modest too. Fruts are cheep in CR. I do not know why the small portions and not so good looking. Pleae improve breakfast. The best is the nice pool

Our stay at the hotel Mangaby was very enjoyable overall. Rooms were clean, and Alberto and Magda were always very friendly and kind and ready to help out. If you're ever in Playa Hermosa, check this place out.

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.
