I can only echo the comments of others: El Mango is an exceptional vacation rental in an exceptional, beautiful, and unique town. Claire is knowledgeable, helpful, and quick to respond to all inquiries. This rental is a joy to be in, its design perfectly attuned to its location. The beach is a swimmer's delight and the town is full of great restaurants. As others have mentioned, access to the unit does require being adept with stairs. Access to town is easy with frequent local buses and taxis. I recommend Ël Mango without reservation.

Great Apartment

Apartment was as described, incredible views, great location (though it is a bit isolated, so rental car or taxi use is generally required). Claire had a very nice welcome basket waiting for me (fruit, wine, cookies and chips, with cold beers in the refrigerator) and unit was very clean. Great experience.

Absolute Paradise

My husband and I stayed for three weeks at El Mango. and it was just wonderful. Claire and Tony were great hosts and totally there for anything you needed. The view is beyond fantastic and the casa is lovely, really well laid out,spacious,lots of storage and has everything you need. Very comfy bed! We fell in love with Zihuatanejo and El Mango and are coming back for three weeks next year.

The view is spectacular, the property is well maintained, beautiful and the architectural details inside are incredible. Our communication with Claire was seamless. The dipping pool is very refreshing after a day out. As long as you don’t have mobility issues, I cannot recommend this little piece of paradise enough! We loved our walk down to the beach each morning (13 mins or 35 mins to Playa Las Gatas) and taxi’s were easy to find to go back up for 80-100p. I can’t wait to book again in the future!

Great place for a couple

Very nice bungalow, clean and has everything you need for a stay of a few days or a few weeks. Terrific view from the balcony. There are some mosquitoes in the evening on the balcony, didn't bother us too much though, repellent was provided. The only other thing to be aware of is that there are about 40 stairs to climb up to the road. The housekeeper came down and helped with our bags and groceries. Will definitely be back! Thanks Claire!

Stevo Holiday FEB 2024

Spectacular studio suite with all modern amenities & is exactly as advertised/the view of LaRopa Beach is unrivalled. Very quiet property at night/loved the cool salt water soaker pool at the end of every beach day! Access to property not for the faint of heart as it’s 86 steps from street level up to your little piece of vacation heaven. Nice touch having the light switch just inside the locked gate to see yourself up the stairs safely at night. Easy downhill walk to La Ropa beach when you cut through Punta Marina condominium property and down another 76 steps in the back alley. Can’t wait to come back again, Claire & Tony.

Sewage gas and no sun

Truly the only thing this property has is a nice view at night. However you can’t enjoy it because you will be eaten alive by mosquitos. Sewage gas was emanating from shower for 3 days. Owner tried to make light of it and not provide a proper fix so we had to leave 4 days early and try to find another rental which was not easy last minute. Location is literally a wooden door in a rock wall which no taxis could find. Had to carry luggage up 4 flights of very steep stone stairs. Balcony received no sun. Nice furnishings and other amenities but didn’t make up for the rest.

Paradise? Indeed...

My wife and I stayed at Tony and Claire's bungalow, El Mango, and we enjoyed every minute of it. It was our first couple vacation for more than 15 years, and we could not have chosen a better spot for it. The place offers everything you need and is extremely well designed, but the best part of it is the view. From the bed, kitchen, couch, and lounge chair, you can see the spectacular view of the bay of Zihuatanejo. From morning to evening, you are a spectator to a show of color and lights that you will never forget. It will make you want to come back on a regular basis.

My Favorite Place on Earth

If I could live in this place...I would! The hosts have thought of everything to make sure that you were beyond comfortable. The surroundings are lush & beautiful. An incredible mango tree is right on your balcony. The view never gets old. We hung out on the balcony more than we should have. This place is a gem...but I should say it is a diamond.

Nos encantó todo, la casa es muy cálida, muy espaciosa, los anfitriones son muy atentos, hay mucha tranquilidad excelente para descansar, con una relajante vista a la bahía y muy cerca de las playas la ropa y las gatas, el único detalle para los que llevan coche es que no tiene estacionamiento propio pero hay un espacio en la banqueta de enfrente, sin problema ahí nos pudimos estacionar y los días que nos quedamos no tuvimos ningún problema en dejar el auto ahí. Si van no se van a arrepentir!

Great stay at El Mango

This was our 6th visit to Zihuatanejo and the first time we stayed on this side. First off my husband and I whole heartily agree with all the previous reviews. We stayed 3 weeks and throughly enjoyed our time at El Mango. We love to walk and staying here we sure got our exercise. Found a shortcut to the beach which included 215 stairs. Having said that, cabs are readily available if you so choose. And if you need a break from all that sun, spend the day on your balcony taking in the fantastic view while having a drink in your splash pool. Having Tony and Claire living above the casita is a great asset and we hopefully in the future will be able to once again stay in this beautiful bungalow.

Spectacular view with total privacy

We were met by our gracious host, Tony, who was extremely helpful and made us feel instantly at home. The guest house is new and very high end with huge windows showcasing the gorgeous view of Zihuatanejo Bay. Breakfast and cocktails on the lovely deck surrounded by jungle was lovely and completely private. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything needed for a gourmet dinner. The lighting is great....romantic and functional. The king bed is very cozy and lots of storage space too. We’ve stayed in some very nice condos and hotels but none any nicer than this lovely casita. We can’t wait to return.

Paradise Bliss!

Words cannot describe this outstanding property! No detail was overlooked when designing, decorating, or providing amenities for this place. It has a view that you could never get sick of, gorgeous grounds, & wonderful owners. It was so nice to have such a complete kitchen with an amazing view to be able to make meals & not feel as if you were stuck inside. The location is perfect for the beach & watching the tinkling lights of the bay at nightfall. If you get a free moment, don't pass up a catamaran cruise on the Picante also, it has one of the best hospitable crew team that I have seen. We regretted that we could not stay longer. Zihua is one of my favorite places in the world & we are looking forward to coming back to this beautiful bungalow! Thank you for being such awesome hosts!!
