Where do we start but to say...

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This was just an amazing vacation and we owe a large part of that to you.  

You made our stay in Costa Rica one that we will never forget.  

Your hospitality and laughs will be missed!

The sparkle in the eye, the generosity of spirit and the wry 

sense of humor say that this is a place like no other.  What must be oft repeated explanations  still seem fresh and given with pride -  everybody treated so well.  The view is unimpeded by any balustrade, 

so we been off the drink for the duration.

Apart from the view, the calm, the lack of dust, I have most enjoyed the breakfast,  "magnifique"!  Sue studied geology by the pool - very happy.

To Agnes and Jo,

What can I say except  thank you for the best new years eve party and our stay at Villa Mango!  Stacy and I had the time of our life!  Thank you for your kindness, your hospitality and helping us with finding Refugio Del Sol,  then letting us come back  and stay at our place.  We love the pool, the terrace, the view, the gardens, the sounds of monkeys and the birds.   Both of you , thank you for it all.

Today is a sad day as we are about to embark upon a new adventure and leave Villa Mango.  Your home is magical, peaceful, relaxing and filled with love from the moment we arrived.  Thank you for looking after us and allowing me to talk you into a new years eve dinner party.  A  full of laughter and dancing. 

 I cant wait to come back!

Agnes and Jo,

Thank you for your help with my son and I during the trip.  We had a special time.  New years eve was special and the cooking was lovely.  Andio especially will miss the breakfasts every morning.  I asked him tonight  if he wanted to go back 

to Los Angeles or stay in Costa Rica and he said: 

"stay in Costa Rica"!

I am also grateful  for Agnes' love of Walt Disney movies , your hammocks, the hanging/blinking lights, your "drink cooler".  

That was my water supply the whole trip and your cleanliness - especially with the little one.  Can't wait to come back and can't wait for that fence!

We wish you both a beautiful year.

Charming hosts offering a whole range of comfort and courtesies.  That describes you, Agnes and Jo, at least for our little five days of vacation here.  Come see us and explore our East Tennessee mountains!  We appreciate all your warm hospitality!

Gracias Jo and Agnes,

Mil gracias por su hospitalidad y muestras de amistad.  

Pasemos unos dias muy agradables y emocionantes 

(ex: two flat tire accident).  It was great fun end play.  

We hope to come back in the near future to discover  more of the snorkeling.  You've done a superb job with your home and B&B. 

 Very charming and welcoming.  Gracias Agnes and Jo,

Dear Agnes and Jo,

As soon as we walked into Villa Mango, we knew we would have an amazing 6 days with you.  The view, the food, the company have all been perfect.  You created  a '' home from a home''  for us and many other lucky people who are here.  Our stay has been a highlight of our honeymoon and we will always cherish the memory of Villa Mango.  

We wish you  happiness and success for the future and truly   

hope that we come and  see you soon again.

Dear Jo and Agnes,

Thank you for saving our vacation!  We went from rain-soaked ditches and early morning wake-up calls from a construction outside our window,  

to the beauty and serenity that is Villa Mango.  

When your home  is a place where guests prefer to lounge all afternoon instead of going to the beautiful beaches of Nosara, you know you have something special!  We want Lonely Planet to know about our special find for the prosperity of the business and happiness of  the future travelers but we are not going to tell them because we want  a room to be available for us next time we visit!  

Just kidding!  Happiness and joy,

Ruth and Goro

Dearest Agnes and Jo,

From the minute I walked in and saw your ''new '' terrace and  the spectacular view (wow!), to our last hours at Villa Mango, our 9- day stay was everything we thought it would be , and more! 

From the great (and interesting) people who came and went, to the fantastic breakfast, we have both enjoyed ourselves enormously.  

Your warm welcome and friendship throughout our stay is greatly appreciated 

and we wish you the best of luck with all your ventures.  

 

We hope our constant calling of ''the plane! the plane!'' will pay off in the promo video Chris will send you from our home in England and Jo being the 'monkey-man'' is a memory that will last and last.  I enjoyed (and need) being your resident ''lounger-lizard'', round the pool and the small hammock...  It was all perfect.  Many many thanks, hugs and kisses.

Nicki says:'' no Jo again''!

 

Everything Steve, Flip, Goro and Ruth said on preceding pages and Nicki above... is good here!  (Mind you, like Goro and Ruth, I'm not sure we should say it's so good... if we do, there won't be any room for us when we want to come back!)  Perhaps I should write in French (then no-one will understand it...)  Merci beaucoup pour le petit dejeuner, la vue, la piscine, la chambre, la terrace, les repas, toutes les choses...  Aussi, Agnes et Jo, Yami, Jose...  Here ends le francais and I won't attempt l'espanol.  Love you all

P.S.:  The coatis are great!!

Chris.

Thank you so much for your hospitality and sharing your beautiful home with us.  Our stay at the Villa Mango 'saved' our vacation!  The nature, beauty and culture of Costa Rica has been experienced far better from the peace, loveliness and laughter of our gracious hosts and comfortable surroundings.  We truly wish we had longer to stay and  are already looking forward to our next trip back to Nosara and  Villa Mango.  We hope to see you soon and till then wish you a very happy and healthy new year!

Hope to see you soon!

(Back in Costa Rica!... but if you happen to be in New York, you must contact us!)

Agnes and Jo,

The three of us feel incredibly lucky to have stumble upon Villa Mango.  The view were astonishing, the food was wonderful and we enjoyed your company.  It is the perfect end to a long surf trip.  We shall return and the next time we shall bring our wives, fiancées, girlfriends whom we sent home a few days ago in pursuit of bigger surf.  We are fairly certain we will hear it when we show them pictures of what they missed.  It is rare you meet people as kind, friendly and so willing to chase their dream like you two do.  

We wish you all the best.

Dear Agnes and Jo,

Thank you very, very much for the familiarly feeling with you at your beautiful place.  The great fruit  juice and the" muy tico" breakfast gave us the needed energy to stay at the pool the whole day!  

Your place here is the best place to be lazy and relax, 

to get energy for your ''hard'' work at home.  

When we visit CR again, we will come back to your beautiful paradise.

All the best for you

Agnes and Jo,

Stumbled in after dark, Jo peeking his head out the door and greeting us with a warm ''Allo''.  S ettled right in with you and the other guests. 

'' We can't stay just the one night we intended'', Rhox andI said.  So we stayed another and soaked up the warm hospitality and good eats!!  We've decided to be your voice abroad and vow to sing the praise of Villa Mango throughout our homeland.  Lots of fun... feeling like I miss it already as we prepare to disembark.  Warm thoughts and best wishes for the future here in Nosara.

Hello,

Actually it was not our plan to come here, but it was the only place which we could find place.  It was very good that it happened, so we know this place and lovely Agnes and Jo.  You made a very good job here.  I'm sure we will come here again when we are in Costa Rica.  And that time our son Emre will be big boy so we will enjoy to be here.  Thank for your smile and hospitality.  Nice to know Villa Mango and Agnes and Jo.

Dearest Agnes and Jo,

Mere words cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for all your kindness and hospitality during our stay.  You helped make Christina's 16th Birthday SO special!  I'm sure it is one she will not soon forget.

And as for me, on those hectic and stressful days in New York City, 

I shall find myself closing my  eyes and

 imaging myself rocking in a chair or

swinging in the hammock or swinging chairs.

Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us.  We WILL see you again.

With much love...

Dear Jo and Agnes,

We loved our short stay with you.  Way too short.  Your place is great and you are superb host and hostess.  It was hard to split our time between the beach/surf and your great patio and pool.  You should be really proud of what you've built up here.  Hope to see you again soon.  

All the best to you both...

Add a few drops of refreshing rain , mix together with lots of humor, 

bake in the heat of the sun for ever

Yo amigos!

We did come as guest and are leaving as friends...

Which makes leaving even harder.  Your hospitality is without match; 

your Hacienda is like home and coming back here

 (which we will) will be like coming home.  Mucho Gracias,

Jeannie, Jim and Mark

Agnes and Jo,

This place is amazing!  You are so lucky to live in this beauty!  It was so much fun swimming and looking at all of the monkeys and coatimundis!  and Speed Uno is much more fun than normal Uno!  Hopefully we'll see you again!  Thank you for everything!

Luv Ya! Libby and Katie

 

     

 

 

Agnes and Jo,

For the second time, I am forced  to leave your  homely Nosara paradise.  If it was possible, l'd stay here for months!  Now, I'm off to the rest of my journey-Nicaragua and the north.  Thank for all the hospitality and I will return!  This place is addicting.  Good luck on all your construction!

Love, Jamie

To share in your warm and gracious company only adds to the lovely time iI have shared here at Villa Mango!  *  Not only will I miss the howler monkeys and their playful spirits but also the engaging conversations, the intense movies and the pure joy and serenity that your home and company has provided.*love*

Thanks so much,

Agnes and Jo,

Thank you so much for sharing a little piece of your Costa Rican paradise with us!  We absolutely loved it here.  It was such an unexpected surprise.  The terrace view and breezes were wonderful, the local wildlife entertaining and your hospitality was generous.

 

We especially enjoyed our snorkeling trip to the beach with you both (and the adventure of getting there in the back of the Land Rover!)  

Best wishes for the success of Villa Mango.  

We won't forget this place.

Dear Agnes and Jo,

I am totally in love with Villa Mango!

What a totally magical place it is!  I have loved the monkeys, the glorious view, the delicious cool breeze, the delightful pool, and vivacious and friendly host and hostess!!  I loved the toucan room with the hammock outside the door and the stylish shower with a view.  I loved looking on a t the luscious vegetation and monkeys.  I expected to see magnificent sunsets, but the sunrise this morning was a lovely surprise.

 

Thank you for everything, the incredible morning bird watching 

and boat-ride.  LeRoy was a cheerful and informative guide showing us a baby crocodile, as well as dozens of beautiful birds Four snowy egrets 

did a dance for us.

 

Thank you for your guidance on where to snorkel.  I loved the beach and the many colorful  fish!  You have a gem in your local horse tour guide, Sarah, at Casa Rio Nosara  just down the hill.  My ride which included the beach was such fun.

 

I am sad to leave and hope someday to return.  I leave filled with a delicious breakfast and much more relaxed than when I came.  All good wishes to you and may many come to experience Villa Mango.

Agnes  & Jo!

Wow!  Villa Mango is truly heavenly - from the monkeys to the coatis, to the food, to the room, to the company!  We have enjoyed every minute... The view and breeze and humming birds, made it difficult to leave the rocking-chair "hammocks" - not to mention that we wanted to keep Minette company  :0) It was the least we could do!!!

Ryan here - Absolutely amazing place! It was the perfect way to end our trip.  I will be buying a hammock the minute I get home.  We will be sure to let our friend at Lonely Planet know about your little piece of paradise, not to mention all of our own family and friends.  Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable and memorable!

Joy again - Thanks again for everything!  We feel so fortunate to have been able to stay here!  We hope to see you again in the future!

Agnes and Joe,

Thank you so much for the wonderful experience here at Villa Mango B&B.  The pool, the breakfast and your kindness could not be beat.

And of course, the spectacular view!

It was an unforgettable 2 days for us.  We hope that our paths cross again some day.

All the best!  Susanne, Paul & Catherine

We crossed the Atlantic, we crossed the Costa Rican rivers... We do not know what way was more dangerous !?

But we found a nice stay for the last night and had a wonderful breakfast. We will remember when we are sailing next year from the Costa Rican coast to French Polynesia.

Jo and Anyes, 

At first, we intended to stay a day, maybe two, but now we are in our 5th day and no regrets! This has been the most peaceful and enjoyable stay of our vacation in Costa Rica! Our teenagers are reading books! Not watching TV and we are getting into Tico time. It has been a time to relax and as our son Nick would say - "chill out". Thank you so much. Hopefully you will visit us in Whistle.

Namaste - Terry Spence, Ann, Nick and Mariah toulouse_552002@yahoo.ca

What more can I add? But from one B&B hostess to another...you take the "Queen of Hospitality" award all the way! You both have a gift of sharing your home and your part of Nosara. Seriously: hoping we can do a B&B trade sometime in the not to far future! - Ann

Dear Anyes & Joe - It's hard to find the words to describe our stay here. For me, one who never slows down, this was HEAVEN!! You have done a spectacular job of creating a little paradise and retreat where I was able to just "be". Reading in the hammock chair as the rain came and went was peace, dosing by the pool in the blazing sun was bliss. Max had such an amazing time and thanks for making a 12 year old feel so at ease - and his parents. You two have and are putting blood, sweat and tears into this place and it shows and shines. This is probably the closet thing to paradise I've had on a vacation, not to ever be forgotten and I hope to be back. Thank you, merci, gracias, xo,

Dear Anyes & Jo,

Thanks so much for accommodating us through our stay! I had an amazing time! I hope to come back some day! I'll miss you. - Max

The Mango B&B was my favorite part of my 3 week stay in C.R. Not only does it have a great view, room and breakfast, but Agnes and Joe are the hosts with the most! The wedding ceremony was perfect - the dinner too! It's going to be hard not to come back C.R. and visit Agnes and Joe again.

Gordon  Atlanta, Georgia

Many thousand thank-yous to our wonderful hosts and friends, Agnes and Joe. You took such good care of us, we could stay here forever. Best of luck to you with the B&B and all your endeavors. We will be back!

Agnes and Joe, 

You are truly the most spectacular hosts we have ever had. Villa Mango is breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you for helping make our wedding experience and our special day a most memorable one. We couldn't imagine staying anywhere else. Every last detail was perfect. Brandee and I have a one of a kind relationship that deserves a one of a kind wedding. Thanks to you we were able to realize that dream. We promise to pass the good word on about your paradise in the hills of Costa Rica. We also promise to keep in touch and make it back here when we can. From the bottom of our hearts - thank you, thank you, thank you. We love you Agnes and Joe.

Joe and Agnes - 

I think everyone was so pleasantly surprised to find a genuinely loving and quite "yogic" place for us. My group is so grateful and honored to have had the opportunity to stay at Villa Mango. 

Adam and I feel as if you both went above and beyond in taking care of EVERYTHING. Each and every person was treated so graciously. It is very rare to come across people like you who are not only hospitable and friendly, but absolutely patient and sweet even in demanding circumstances. 

Our DVD is beautiful because all our yogis were relaxed in the atmosphere you create...and also because your property is divinely gorgeous. It served as a precious and amazing backdrop for the film. Thank you so much for taking the extra time and energy to make it all possible for us. We will hold you both in our loving thoughts and prayers always.

We are sure to see you soon (in the next year) and will be in touch! With gratitude overflowing!

Thank you so much for EVERYTHING! I am so happy that I met you - you are two of the most beautiful, fun people I know. This trip has been magnificent and life changing because of you. My favorite moments here were the talks and times we shared together. You have a new friend for life!

I look forward to seeing you again soon and know that I will. Remember, you always have a home in California now and I would love it if you visited. Thank you for all the advice, the laughter, the ATV rides, dancing and for touching my heart. You have both given me so much that words can't express my gratitude - but maybe one day I'll get the chance to show you. By the way, what picture are you going to put in this book? Perhaps we have to wait until we meet again to take the "perfect" picture. I love you guys, keep your beautiful light shining.

You both gave 100 plus percent to make our stay at your home a beautiful experience. I will always remember how precious it was to see you dancing at the Tropicana, gliding across the floor in perfect harmony, and dancing with you Joe, you made me look like I might have known what I was doing! :) Thank you from the bottom of my heart for opening your arms to me.

Well, unfortunately, these are the last days of our vacation in Costa Rica - but there definitely is no better choice than Villa Mango to spend these last relaxing days. Keep this little paradise such a comfortable home just as well as your smiley, positive attitudes!

Thanks so much for a great time!

We were passing through on our way to Samara and decided to stay.  We were very lucky to find this wonderful place ! It's wonderful just to sit on the terrace looking out at the fantastic view. So relaxing and just what we needed.

We would love to come back again and spend more time here.

Dear Mommy Agnes and Mr. Cool,

Thank you so much for letting me experience both the 1st class and bottom class of holidaying in Costa Rica. You made my time here a joy and most importantly a great laugh.

Let me know when you need a holiday and I will come and clean for you (just need to improve my Spanish first!)

Here's to living the dream...

Lots of love 

Hilary

Agnes and Joe,

This is the best of the many B&B experiences we have had over 30 years. Your hospitality and the physical plant made for such a lovely experience, and we were lucky enough to land here at the same time as a very interesting and charming group of fellow guests. We'll see you for next Christmas if not before. Long may you prosper !

Worth and Elaine.

Dear Agnes an Jo,

We are very happy to find your lovely, friendly and excellent cooking house. We spent 2 days which were very relaxing. The menu on Sylvester night was very special and romantic. At midnight Agnes and all the guests jumped into the swimming pool with clothes on ! Great idea! We will always remember!!

We wish you the best !
