“Simple Hut Living”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 6, 2012

We spent a week at Los Mongos just on the spring side of wet season. The hut was rustic, but well maintained. We were very damp for the majority of our stay there, but that is life in the wet season.

Our room had a mini fridge, and a decently sized shower. Like a lot of places, there was a breaker switch in the bathroom to turn on the hot water and water pressure for the shower. None of that dangerous "instant heat" scariness.

The pool was beautiful. It overlooked the trees and to the ocean. They also have a yoga studio on site. Quite nice for yoga-surf packages.

The huts sit way back from the road with some trees in between, which is a major benefit. The road is dirt and is highly trafficked by ATVs. So being set back was a nice dirt and noise buffer. The downside of being surrounded by trees is that you can also be surrounded by howler moneys--who can be very loud at about 5AM.

There is no wifi, no restaurant.

Room Tip: They offer both a hotel and huts. Make sure you let them know which you'd prefer. The huts only...

“Loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 18, 2012

In the middle of a mango grove, surrounded by monkeys sat our own private cabina. Had a double bed and a single bed, overhead fan as well as extremely powerful floor fan, mini fridge, deck with rocking chairs and a hammock and full bath with hot water showers! 5 minute walk to town or waterfall and directly across the street from ocean. Daily yoga($14) was great. Loved everything about this place, I spent 2 months traveling costa rica and Nicaragua and this may very well have been my favorite place to stay!

“could not ask for more”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 16, 2012

just returned from a fantastic yoga retreat with some excellent instructors at los mangos. room was simple but very clean and i appriciated the pristine bed sheets and nice towels. the lagoon like pool was sparkling and perfectly set in a naturalistic but nicely maintained garden with shadey mango trees that attracted monkeys to watch while floating around in the late afternoons. great location across the street from a beach, less than 5 min walk to the interesting town, near good resturants

“Unbelievable deal - best place to stay!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 12, 2012

Because the room was only $30 we werent expecting much but were totally blow away by everything we did get. Room was rustic, yet cozy, there's a great pool and it faced the beach. We chose a room with a shared bath but you are only sharing with 1 other room and there's no conflict. On the 2nd floor, there are rockers that face the ocean and you go to sleep hearing the waves crash. It's walking distance to downtown Montezuma and Montezuma Falls. We also stayed at another hotel in Sta Teresa with $80 a night rooms and they didn't come close to being Hotel Los Mangos. Los Mangos is very Costa Rican and very peaceful.
