Agnes and Jo,

Thank you so much for your warm and welcoming hospitality. We had a great time exploring Nosara with Villa Mango as our base. It's hard to beat Villa Mango's setting and views.

Best wishes and happy new year,

Thank you so much for your hospitality toward our family! You have made our visit to Costa Rica so much more enjoyable and memorable with your kindness. The villa is absolutely gorgeous, and we all loved hanging out by the pool (especially the kids!). Also thanks for making us your famous chocolate pancakes :). They were delicious! We will definitely recommend you to any friends thinking about heading to Nosara, and hopefully we'll see you next time we come back! Muchas gracias y merci Beaucoup!

Love, the Rogers family.

Thank you for opening your home to us, Agnes and Jo. We had a really nice time, and you've been so nice to us. some memories we will take back to Brooklyn:

-Bagel sitting on my head.

-Amazing breakfasts.

-Reading and chatting on your porch and by the pool.

But the best one: Your invitation on New Year's Eve to go to Nomad with you. So nice of you, and we had a great time celebrating the end of the year with you and the belly dancers! Thank you for making us feel so welcome and all the best in 2011,

be well,

Thank you Agnes and Jo! You are wonderful hosts and we enjoyed to stay in the Tucán room with its great bathroom with jungle view. We also liked good and funny entertainment with your squirrel,  the coati-family and the raccoons. So we are a little bit sad to leave but I think we are coming back sometimes SOON.

Dear Agnes and Joe,

Thank you so much for the wonderful Time!

we stayed here almost by accident few other places were full but we are glad we did it because it is by far the best place we have stayed in Costa  Rica. we love the atmosphere and the service and specially the wild life. we liked seeing coatis, squirrels, humming birds. even the geckos are cute!

next time we visit we must stay longer as we are determined to solve the mystery of the Nosara Beach Hotel. we are convinced that the caverns beneath that place are being used by a smuggling ring or maybe are home to a race of sub-human fish-man. the strange sounds and glowing lights at night could indicate cult rituals or mad science experiments. with out trusty side kick Bagel we will get to the bottom of this!

meanwhile, we wish you the best in the B&B business and hope that we can visit again soon. we will tell everyone about how great it is at Villa Mango. you guys are awesome. Stay Cool!

We have an amazing little vacation. we don't even know which was the best part watching the rodeo, surfing or eating our fish that we caught. Yum and  fun! we will be sure to keep you guys in mind when we come to Costa Rica again. Hopefully we'll meet Bagel next time. Thanks again for being such awesome hosts!

Another great time. great trip. great to find Ivan and Sheila here again.  sorry that the howlers kidnapped Steve and made him their monkey king.

you both never age ad are the sexiest hosts of any B&B in Costa Rica. we really love it here and love you both.

please make sure that Joe knows that next time we come which we will I wont hit him in the head so hard with the hammer.

Thanks for the pet scorpion, sorry he is now mush .

Remember  that if you ever get to take a vacation, you have a place to stay in Keylargo, Miami and north carolina.

Ola!

The  only mistake in booking  here was booking the stay for only 6 days! not enough time. maybe in years to come we will be the next Ivan & Sheila and stay much longer. the company matched the scenery-  wonderful. really hope to be back one day.

Agnes & Jo,

What a treat to be able to stay with you!

your villa is beautiful, clean and friendly, I love the pool, our room was perfect, and breakfast...oh the breakfast was amazing, while my travel buddy Jennifer has traveled to many places, this was my first international vacation and my first stay in a B & B. it was such a delight to wake up each morning, come up to the beautiful terrace and enjoy the view of the ocean while eating a delicious meal with the great company of you two and all your guests.

I'll miss Villa Mango.

 

You're the best Agnes & Jo !!!

We had the best time of our whole lives!!

Love,

Catalina, Jeanne, Richard

Thank you for so many things, breakfast, drinks, hospitality, good conversations, great choice of guests ect...I wish everyday of our lives were as rich as a day at Villa Mango.

The road to Villa Mango is daunting. We were thinking what had we got ourselves into. then we walked through the gate into this cool, lush oasis of tropical beauty.

We were provided the toucan room. every morning we woke to a lush green tropical view. sometimes early hear the monkey  in the near by mango tree, the wind and aural backdrop. What an amazing way to greet the day. The veranda offers best vistas , cool freezes, coati , butteflies and variety of birds . At night the stars are wonderful .The pool is inviting and the perfect temperature to cool off and chilling .

Breakfast is family style, appreciate the ambient, consist in fresh local fruit , fresh juice , fresh eggs, homemade bread, creal ,yogurt, tasty coffee, . Agnes and Jo are gracious, warm ,friendly, humorous,,  what a great place to just be.

Thnk you , Don and Barb

Thanks so much for sharing your lovely home with us !, we enjoyed our mornings on the terrace watching the ocean waves. Our highlight was this morning enjoying the monkeys in the tress.

Everything was excellent ! We enjoyed the breakfast and sitting at the table that Jo made. We will always remember our swims in the pool specially the refreshing water.

Our room was very nice and cozy, we slept so very  very good ! Tnx !

PS. Loved the bacon you so kindly get for us !.

Agnes and Jo  , as a child i always loved  tree forts and wished i could live in one . Now after enjoying our staying amongst your mango trees i feel like I've lived that dream. We so enjoyed being at eye level with so many of God's creatures, high up in the trees, What a rare privilege. We go home with pictures, videos and most importantly . Great memories of our wonderful time with you and your staff. we are already cooking forward to our return trip to Nosara.

Take special care of yourselves and the creation around you !.

Best regards Paul Shashaguay
