Hosts was very nice & helpful. Very beautiful place and well kept. Easy to find. Good parking.

Bed was rather hard. Hot water for showers was not constant, went from hot to cold continually. No exterior light on the stairway turn, problematic.

everything is just perfect! The entire house and the property, actually, she’s the best part!

she’s so nice, communicative, kind, best person.

especially the garden with outdoor shower, Heidi the owner makes it to a great home

The host met us at the door. Heidi was welcoming and full of great information. She really is special and we're glad to have been there.

Location is great…. easy walk to the beaches on Ali’l Dr. Beautiful private studio detached from owners home with well equipped kitchen and bathroom. Also has an outdoor space with tropical plants and trees to cool you down on those warmer days along with an out door shower. The owner is lovely and very helpful. We’d go back to stay again!

Nothing

The woman who owns the property is one of the nicest people we had ever met. The place is very nice and clean, super unique, and at a very good price. It’s private but also a walking distance to the beaches and a very lovely little store.

It was quiet and cozy.

I did not have a car, property was great!

peaceful setting in backyard, wonderful patio, very clean, new counters with beautiful granite slabs in kitchen and bathroom. delightful! very nice hostess!

a bit of a walk to the nearest store

Heidi was an awesome hostess. Very comfortable accommodations and an excellent location.

Mango Retreat was quiet little cottage in back of the host’s house. Since it was in a neighborhood, we could hear children’s voices at times, and sometimes a dog barking or music playing, but it was never loud or long lasting. The private garden was lovely, with plenty of seating, places to hang clothes to dry, a hose to wash off sandy or salty items, and on the side, a hot outdoor shower. (there is a shower indoors too.) lots of bath products are provided, both indoors and outside. A cute kitty came to visit occasionally. The kitchen had everything needed to cook and eat with, and there were some food staples either provided by the host, or left over from other guests. If you need to cook eggs, or fry something, you use the gas burner on the grill outside. I cooked a quick bolognese sauce on the electric wok indoors. It worked well. The bedroom is small, but the bed is comfortable, and the AC gets the room nice and cool. Several cooler bags, beach bags, beach towels, beach chairs, and umbrellas are provided. A smart tv was provided with Netflix.

In the bedroom, there is no place to store clothing. The closet is big, but the shelves are high up. We improvised by laying clothes out on chairs in the closet. There is no place to put a chest of drawers in the room, but perhaps a cubby could be built in the closet. The path to Mango Retreat is quite dark at night, almost to the point of being unsafe. I would suggest better lighting. I would also suggest that a binder be provided, with beach, restaurant, and other recommendations and information inside.

I fell so lucky that I found Mango Retreat. I wasn’t interested in an expensive tourist filled hotels. The Mango Retreat is it’s own special place. If you want to feel like a local, relaxing under a charming patio under a huge mango tree after a long day exploring the island this place it for you. Fresh mangoes, a friendly little kitty, and plenty of green geckos to make you smile. The bathroom and kitchen areas where fully equipped, there was even an outdoor shower if you wanted to feel closer to nature. The guest house is a few blocks up from the main road, but the only thing you’ll hear is various birdsongs and the occasional ripe mango crashing to earth. This visit surpassed my expectations in every way
