"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?"

"I am almost reluctant to post this 5 star review in case it becomes so popular we can’t get in here again:) We loved this place so much. Gorgeous property. The staff were beyond good. They went above and beyond to make our stay remarkable."

"Amazing spot in the beach with friendly staff. Perfect kitesurfing spot. Thanks Lalo!"

"Good value and a decent place. Lovely view of the ocean."

"I almost don't want to give this place a review. It's one of those incredible spots you want to keep to yourself and close friends. This place is absolutely amazing. From the sea views to watch the kite surfers do their thing to the exceptional service. We decided to have a meal at the restaurant and I wanted to be daring. Instead of the usual tacos because hey it's Mexico, I went with the Thai chicken and it did NOT disappoint. I'm glad the room has a fridge to keep my leftovers. My wife is already planning another trip for our anniversary! See you in December."

"Fantastic stay! The hotel is so charming and quaint. Rooms were very comfortable and considering it is 100% solar powered is amazing. There is a small ranch beside the rooms and views here are breathtaking. Would highly recommend! "

"Host was great, very responsive. Great location, i would rent it again. "

"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. "

"Nice and friendly place to stay."
