"Great ocean view from pool area and magnificent beach"

"A wonderful birthday weekend!"

"Excellent location on the beach."

"The resort is decent, but definitely is in need of some TLC. At one time this must have been a top notch place to stay, but everything is looking a little tired. The staff is friendly and they do keep the grounds manicured and in good condition. The food is decent with good portions and reasonably priced. The beach and ocean was the highlight of our stay. We were able to walk for hours along the beach. "

"Loved my stay at ChangoMango. Cool concept "pods" very comfortable, great mattress. Common shower and toilet/sinks impeccably clean. Great common area on rooftop deck, around the bar, TV room during the Olympics for the evening. Staff attentive, fun social atmosphere. If doing wind sports will need to store gear outside room, but didn't seem an issue. Ample places to dry wet gear too. Good value for price. Close to beach, what more do you need?"

"Everything went very smoothly- the place was clean and neat. The location is magical - we hope to return "

"Clean and well appointed room. Most are upstairs I believe. The balcony had a lovely view of the sea. Fridge, microwave, tv wifi, a couple chairs and a lovely bathroom. At a reasonable price. An easy walk to the beach. Our two small dogs enjoyed, too. And The restaurant and food were great. A definite win. "

"Beautiful resort, friendly staff, very nice room with a view"

"The room was marginal. the sheets felt like sandpaper and the bed was as hard as the floor. There was no water pressure in the shower, the hot water was hit or miss and if it was a hit you had about 5 minutes of it. The towels were in very poor shape and looked like they hadn’t been replaced in years. The bath mats and mats in the bedroom were mismatched in the condition of rags. The lights browned out constantly. There is no TV in the room- fine except there is also no WiFi. The high speed WiFi is a farce. WiFi was available at the restaurant if you wanted to do anything you had to walk down there- it was in no such way high speed as advertised. The hot tub they do not keep hot. I was told to turn it on 3 times before you want to get in it, well an hour later still wasn’t even warm. They advertise all of these activities, they fail to mention 80% of them are not in town and they will charge you several hundred dollars for transport, it’s false advertising that they show them all on their site with no such warning. The activity director didn’t even know they had bikes for use so we spent several hundred dollars to rent some across the street. Their snorkel, SUP boards and kite launch was really run down, old and not taken care of at all. The kite launch has no support, the air compressor is broken. Food was marginal and it was a crap shoot what you got for a drink depending on who made it. We did mention the above to staff, owner Tim wouldn’t even make eye contact with us. "
