Just spent 5 nights at Hosteria Mandala with a couple friends. I really enjoyed it. During my exploration of the town, I didn't see any other property that I would have rather stayed. It is on the northern edge of the town\beachfront, but the town is not large enough for that to be a concern. It was at most a 15 minute walk to any place on the beach. The property is broken into several small buildings with a few rooms per building. The buildings are surrounded by various plants and trees giving each room a secluded feeling. I believe each room has its own private outdoor space with hammocks and other seating. Because of the layout, I didn't have a clear ocean view, but the view of the plants made up for it. The beach is right out the front entrance of the property and since it is a little off from the main drag, the beach seems very private. We saw several iguanas, hummingbirds, and other wildlife on the property. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The included breakfast was more than adequate with 3 different options. I highly recommend this property.

Staying here was like sleeping in art. The owners’ artistic skills and attention to detail were amazing. It’s as though over the 24 years of building it they took every suggestion and made it a reality. Need a chair for the beach? They’ve got them. Want to play Chinese checkers? Choose the table with the inlaid wood game board on it…or backgammon…or checkers…or dominos from hand crafted wood. Look up and see the inlaid wood, down, the mortise and tenon workmanship…the carvings, the detail everywhere. Truly a work of art. The staff are equally attentive to the details of your needs and truly go above and beyond to do so. Can’t recommend it highly enough using Expedia’s scale.
