traveler reviews for this playa negra house rental

Romantic getaway

Review submitted: August 19, 2009   Date of arrival: August 7, 2009

We enjoyed our stay at the house in Playa Negra. It is a beautiful home with wonderful views. The house was very comfortable and clean. Cody & Sunshine made us feel so welcome. They were very helpful when we had any questions or issues. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we could possible need. The bathrooms had great showers and the towels were fluffy. The bedrooms were very comfortable and had plenty of room for clothes and luggage. The massive amounts of windows made the house bright and airy. We really appreciated the use of the washer and dryer downstairs too!
We were entertained every morning by the monkey family trekking through the trees surrounding the house. The iguanas came down from the rooftop to eat some of the greenery in the back yard. We awoke every day to the beautiful songs of the parrots and other exotic birds. The yard and surrounding area was always alive with the sounds and movements of wildlife. The balcony areas were used several times a day, from morning coffee, picture taking, and relaxing after swimming to cocktails at night. It truly felt like paradise.
The local restaurants were very good and reasonably priced. The local people were very friendly and most speak English. The prices at the Hotel Playa Negra gift shop are very good, as opposed to some of the shops around Playa Tamarendo. Café Playa Negra has a great Tico breakfast, the Villa Deevena is gorgeous and the food delicious, for dinner.
When, not if, we come back to CR, we will be staying here at the Mango Tango! We loved it.

Recommended for: adventure seekers, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway

Owners response: We are so excited when guests get to experience our favorite parts of Guanacaste, Costa Rica; the wildlife, amazing scenery and warm locals. We fell in love with the howler monkeys, lush tropical foliage, flowers, brilliant blue skies, mountain and ocean-scapes 15 years ago. Owning, renovating and self-managing our vacation home in Playa Negra allows us to offer extradinarily low rates; while providing a high quality accomodation in a tranquil natural setting close enough to the beach to hear the waves breaking, yet simultaneously surrounded by trees. Surfing, zip lines, horseback riding, shell combing, fishing, snorkling and sunbathing can wear anyone out; so It is important to us to provide our guests with vacation comforts including comfortable beds, soft towels,extra pillows, ample kitchen gadgets, tealights for romantic spa style showers, beach towels and other personalized touches. We are always looking for new ways to help our guests' experience be special! We realize that vacations are hard-earned and a time to be cherished; and do our best to help our home contribute to the most pura vida Playa Negra, Costa Rica vacation possible.

relaxing getaway

Review submitted: February 10, 2012   Date of arrival: January 27, 2012

We stayed a week at Casa Mango Tango. A beautiful place to stay. There were just two of us so we stayed on the upper floor where we enjoyed the breezes throughout the night. Sunshine gave us a lot of information about the surrounding area which was great because we had never been in Costa Rica before. I thought there would be alot of mosquitos, but there were not. I thought it would be difficult to navigate, but it wasn't. The roads are all very well marked.

The property was clean and well kept. Nice decor and comfortable too. While it was not really a snorkeling spot, it was a wonderful spot for beaching it and learning to surf and boogie boarding. The zip line I thought was a lot of fun! And the resaurant choices all around were very good; particularly DeVeena (delectable) and Kon Tiki(value and yummy) and the pizzaria which had the best ceviche, go figure. Playa Negra is a quiet surfing town surrounded by a very hospitable and warm community.

Negatives were that we could not find any fresh fish grill for ourselves and there is a resort down the way that advertises messages. Just make sure it's the woman you get and not the man.

Recommended for: age 55+, families with young children, romantic getaway

Almost Paradise!

Review submitted: February 1, 2012   Date of arrival: January 18, 2012

We returned a week ago from our vacation in Costa Rica. Wish we were still there! Our stay at Mango Tango was fantastic! Sunshine and Cody are wonderful hosts who did whatever they could to ensure our stay at their house was enjoyable, and they succeeded! The house is well maintained and better than the online description suggests. The neighborhood is quiet with easy access to the beach. Playa Negra, where the house is located, is a small community but still has several nice restaurants. We especially enjoyed Lola's on the beach. There's also a great zip-line canopy tour at Pura Aventura about a 20 minute drive from the house.
I'd highly recommend Mango Tango to everyone! We'll be back when we can stay longer!
