Description
Opened since 2002, Mango Bay has an eclectic collection of rooms scattered across rambling grounds along with a fantasticly well positioned bar and restaurant on the rocks overlooking the water -- one guest described the food as five-star fare at one-star prices and while we didn't eat, we had no complaints whatsoever about their drinks. There's a wide range of rooms catering to many budgets, with the priciest in a spacious duplex layout with almost glamorous bathrooms. The rooms have good bedding and while they felt they could do with a bit more furniture, the verandas are spacious and social. The cheaper rooms are in a longhouse style, with a large shared terrace, which, with the right crowd, could be a lot of fun. Overall the deluxe rooms struck us as a tad overpriced, while the budget rooms were good value. Hats off to Mango Bay using solar power -- so there's no air-con and just warm water on hot days.

9 for Plantation Bungalows and Restaurant/Bar, 6 for Rammed Earth Bungalows -

We thought the website didn't do the place justice. It's much more beautiful in person, and the food and wines were quite good. And, by the way, the prices listed here on Travelfish are incorrect - it's much more expensive. We were there for Christmas week, and it was beautiful. The most important thing to know about Mango Bay is that they've just added some new bungalows. They're called Plantation Bungalows. All of them have ocean views. They're only $10 ($60) more than the Rammed Earth bungalows, but they just opened in December, they're very private, very quiet, and both the rooms and the decks are very spacious and comfortable. Also, the solar hot water heaters work VERY well - even late at night.
Because we reserved late, we had to move after the first three nights into a cheaper, Rammed Earth bungalow ($50). It was older, smaller, much less private (neighboring bungalows either share walls or are about 15 feet away) and ours had a view of the restaurant/bar. If you choose a rammed earth bungalow, ask for one far from the bar, and free-standing. The toilets and showers are outside, which is a fun treat in the Plantation Bungalow, but in the Rammed Earth Bungalow, we felt a little shy using the open air toilet with neighbors so closeby. I thought that the Plantation Bungalows were fantastic, but that the Rammed Earth Bungalows were a little over-priced. I recommend reserving via-email, their responses were quick and precise.
Beautiful Setting, Work on the Service -

Just back from 3 nights in the low season. Very nice place - great aspect,and love the rammed earth bungalows - watch for bungalow 5 if it is raining though - quite a few leaks! Also be aware that the fisherman's bungalows have water views while the majority of the rammed earth bungalows do not.
Food is quite good though not dirt cheap - make sure you check your bills they made quite a few mistakes with our group. Due to the location it can be difficult to eat elsewhere.
Overall a good experience despite near constant rain.
