Istvan stayed at Mango Village on 02/04/2006 and said,  "The hotel has a beautiful set up with a wonderful tropical garden and great pool area. The bungalows are newly built and cleaned every day. New towels were provided daily. The staff is generally very friendly and helpful, although in the restaurant the waiting staff could improve their attitude. Waiting times could be as long as 45 minutes (even for mirelite pizza which we weren t expecting from an italian restaurant). The pool area has a bar that plays music that can be annoying especially in the mornings. The music can be heard inside the bungalows and the music is on from 9-10 am which is about 3 am Europe time if you are jetlagged...Once the night security guard put on the music to ease his shift at 2 am... The beach is sandy, surrounded by large rocks which naturally divide it from the neighboring resort, so you feel you have your own private beach. The sea is unsuitable for swimmimg and has a rocky seafloor. For swimming the pool is great or Lamai beach is a 10 min motorbike ride away. All in all we had a good time and the place is good value for the money."

Nick stayed at Mango Village on 07/29/2005 and said,  "An excellent new hotel. the poolside bungalows are spacious, modern and very clean. The rooms were cleaned daily and new towels were also provided. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food in the restaraunt is excellent and reasonably priced. the swimming pool and surrounding garden area was picturesque, well maintained and clean. Overall an terrific resort and we wouldn t hesitate to return."

Mr stayed at Mango Village on 07/16/2005 and said,  "Very nice NEW little hotel (about 15 rooms only) owned and managed by an Italian family (father with his two sons). The best rooms are at the beach front (complete privacy and quietude). Others are a bit noisy because situated not far of the pool. The place itself is lonely and the beach is not appropriate for bathing. A good many rocks, shells and, unfortunalely, broken glass don t allow to bathe even at the high tide (in July). The service is good enough but the breakfast is poor. So, if you are seeking privacy and are contented with bathing in the pool then this hotel is for you. Bear in mind also that you will not be able to buy any food in the surroundins. You will have to go either to Lamai (town, about 4-5 km from the hotel) or to Chaweng. And be ready to have dinner at the hotel too, which is good to be honest. Of course it is easy to rent a car or a bike and go anywhere."

Jan stayed at Mango Village on 03/13/2005 and said,  "This new resort is excellent with good value for money..the italian management and their staff are very helpful and friendly. The resort is very relaxed and the bungalows/pool-area &garden are just beautiful..The tranquil, secluded beach- area is kept clean everyday and induce a feeling of a tropical paradise..The food was excellent as well... the place is very suitable for families with children..We stayed several other places on Koh Samui before, i.e. Sandsee, Lamai & Zazen, Bophut..but this is without doubt the place we will return to.. Just one warning:we rented a car at James Travel that was reccomended by the management..Upon returnal of the brand new Toyota the owner of James Travel claimed that the the brakes of the car was damaged..this was just nonsense and he did nt even try the car to make sure this was the case..he said that we had to pay 4000 B. or he would make sure the police would take me to Na thon and give me a fine of at least 20000 B. This was just 2 hours before departure of our flight from Koh Samui...however I refused to pay and he called the police..at this time the manager of Mango Village showed up and negotiated with the car owner and the police..the result was that wehad to pay 1300 b.and was let of the hook... I hope for the safety of their guest that the resort will avoid James Travel for the future..."

Jan stayed at Mango Village on 03/13/2005 and said,  "Excellent new resort with italian management and friendly& helpful staff..And very good value for money as well...Bungalows/pool- area/garden are magnificent..and the secluded, tranquil privat beach gives you a taste of tropical paradise lost..we stayed at Sandsea, Lamai and Zazen, Bophut before, but they cannot really compare to Mango Village...Food in italian/thai restaurant is very good as well..and the resort is very suitable for families travelling with children.. just one warning: The management reccomended car rental at James travel wich turned out to be a very bad experience...upon returnal of the car( brand new Toyota) the owner of car rental said we had damaged the brakes( which was simply nonsense..he even claimed this before checking the car) He said we had to pay him 4000 b. or the police would take me to Na thong and give a fine of at least 20000 b. This was just 2 hours prior to our flight departure...but I refused to give in for his blackmail- plot. Then he called the police which showed up in the resort after 5 minutes..at this time the manager also showed up and talked with the police and owner...the result was that we had to pay 1300 b. and then was let of the hook...this was a very bad experience for our family and I really hope that the management will not reccomend James travel to any customers in the future..."
