| January 2, 2005 We came on the recommendation of a Costa Rican guide and stayed for the rest of our trip. We enjoyed all 10 days of breakfast, view and hospitality. Jo and Agnes, you are doing a great job! We hope to see you again in the near future. Thanks for the enjoyable stay. Brian It was such a treat to arrive here at Villa Mango and dry off after our wet stay in Monteverde and Arenal. After 2 days we knew we needed to stay longer and we did stay 10. Having the time to sit in the hammock and enjoy the view was such a gift. We hope the two of you have time to enjoy this place as much as we have. Thanks for taking such great care of us. We will send out an email to our friends and Lonely Planet. Happy New Year and Peace. Kimberly ktab2@hotmail.com We love your "gato"! Great Honeymoon spot!

| January 2, 2005 The most charming hosts we could imagine! The 6 of us had a magical time for 5 nights. Breakfast was always the perfect start to each day and Agnes set us up with whatever activities we desired. Don't miss an early walk in the reserve! I can't imagine that we won't be back. Our family had a wonderful new year's start at Villa Mango. Good luck to Jo and Agnes in getting all your wonderful ideas executed. If you need anything we can help you with from New York city, don't hesitate to ask. Don't give up on your dream. You have all the ingredients for a successful business. Warm regards. Karl and JoAnn Kunz kjkunz@earthlink.net January 3, 2005 A beautiful spot... wonderful home and the best hosts in the world. What could be better? Thanks for 5 lovely days. Agnes impressed us with her car rental agency finesse and Jo's handy work is shaping up fantastically. All the best to you both! Cheers, Barb Moffat and Andrew Kunz |

| January 4, 2005 What a find! So happy we just stumbled across your wonderful home. By far it was our favorite place to stay and we intend to come back very soon. We will be back for much longer next time. All our love. Penny and Henrik pekillebrew@hotmail.com |
|
| January 5, 2005 Thank you so much for your hospitality. Villa Mango felt like a home away from home. And you were both so very helpful with advices and tips or things to do in the area. Thank you for letting us share your piece of paradise with Shervin and I. Your B&B was the best find, a treasure that was unexpected and just what we were looking for. We look forward to seeing you on our next trip! Shervin and Alex, Boston, MA, USA alexandra.carroll@netzero.com

January 6, 2005 We had a wonderful time, albeit short. We will most certainly be back. You are delightful hosts. All the best to you. Loretta Robertson and Joshua lrobertso@cnnet.upr.edu If only we had driven by 2 days earlier.. we love the villa and most of all the relaxed atmosphere that you created. All the best and we'll have to see you again, either in Costa Rica or Puerto Rico. Saludos, Joshua |
| January 6, 2005 I don't want to leave today! I feel like I was visiting friends, not a B&B. And in the most breathtaking setting too! Penny and I will tell every one about the special Villa Mango. I can't wait to return next year and see all of the changes. Good luck - not that you need it - with building and expanding your B&B. Thank you for everything. Ashley Chapman ashlchap@yahoo.com I'II told you I'll be back and now that I am, I don't want to go! Again!! I do hope to return very soon... this time to stay in the Tucan room!! Mind you... I am happy to stay wherever... as long as I am here. Many thanks again for a truly magical stay! All my love xoxoxo Penny Killebrew |

January 16 - February 12 Who needs the canopy tour when we are at Villa Mango? It has been an exciting time from start to finish. We love the pool and all its visitors. What a great place you have! Bernie & Bette, Summerland, BC, Canada |

January 16 to February 12 Thank you to Jo and Agnes and all your wonderful staff for a great stay at Villa Mango. I found it very comfortable here and immensely enjoyed the magnificent view and timely intriguing and continually fascinating jungle environment. The meals were always wonderful and tantalizing. Jose's endless pleasant responses to my poor Spanish is certainly is certainly commendable. Many others enjoyed this wonderful place in this gorgeous setting!! Sincerely Marj Rushner, Victoria, BC, Canada joy_full@shaw.ca |
January 16 - February 12 Hard to believe that we are leaving this little paradise today. the month has gone so quickly. We loved the feel of living in a "tree-house" being able to watch the wildlife. We did not really need to leave on those tours. We saw more, right here. Everything was great. Jose and Blanca made us feel like part of the family and we enjoyed them even with our "small" Spanish. We'll miss all of this when we go back to the rain and cold of B.C. We will think of you often with more memories. Wishing you lots of success. I'll try sending clients when I can. Sincerely, Midge and Peter Benhke, Peachland, B.C., Canada |

February 12 - March 1 Two weeks of relaxation, warm sun, great company. Tony's tour was interesting, Wing nuts Canopy tour was fun, Rio Nosara horseback ride was a fast and beautiful ride on the beach. Olga's is in the perfect spot to cool down with a beer. I made some crafts, learned some Spanish. Villa Mango is a beautiful place. Thank you Jo and Agnes and thank you for opening your house. Vanya Beck, Kamloops, B.C., Canada |
| March 9, 2005 The third time return, and no rooms available!!! We came back to Costa Rica for the third vacation, and we tried to become the first guests to return and return again. But bad luck for us. Villa Mango was just booked out! That's the growth of business and tourism in Nosara. But surely, we had an appointment with our friends Agnes & Jo and they asked us to put a comment on their guest book for the third time.. Klaus & Gudula - Germany |
|
| February 5 to March 10 Five weeks have gone so quickly. You have a beautiful villa. We have enjoyed the fantastic view, the birds, monkeys, pool, food, everything! Jose has been a delight, friendly, trying so hard to understand what it is we are asking him to do and so patient. Sorry we did not have more opportunities to know the two of you. We wish you all the best with your dreams and business Joyce & Ken Beck - Kamloops, B.C., Canada |
March 6 to 12
Costa Rica is where we came for a rest. |
| January 16 - March 13 Lennie went to the bakery for one last treat, so I will say goodbye for all of us. We had a great 2 months. Can't believe it is over all ready. Fantastic views, fantastic time! Thank you so much. Lenny really wanted to take Jose back to Canada, but did not know how he would like shoveling snow!!! All the best! Joyce Dubuc, Ottawa, Canada |

| February 12 - 21 Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us. We bring back with us beautiful memories of what la "Pura vida" truly is. Good luck with all your future projects. Besos. Dave Davidson and Lucy Tasse, Ottawa, Canada ddavidson@cyberus.ca |
February 12 - March 14 Our third trip to Costa Rica and we thought we would need a trip to Panama to add a little "adventure". That was before we saw Villa Mango and all it has to offer. I am sure no holiday at an Eco-lodge could match our experiences with howlers, pizotes, parrots, anteaters and the resident armadillo... with all the conveniences of home! Thanks Agnes and Jo, Blanca and Jose Jim and Sharon Plumbs, Ottawa, Canada |

March 21, 2005 Wow... what an amazing place! More than we expected and even better than the pictures on the web site (a rare occasion). Our time here has been a gift from God. He made the way for us as we prayed and asked for the right place to go. Thank you for your kindness and your hospitality in every way. This location is wonderful and we can't wait to come back! The Toucan room was a great room for our honeymoon. I am amazed by our Creator and the beauty that surrounds us. May your lives be filled with truth and love, may you find everything that your heart desires and longs for! We will pray for you and if you need anything, let us know. You were very kind and thoughtful to us. Thank you and blessings on you! Scott and Molly, Kansas City, MO, USA bonbini10@hotmail.com |
March 22, 2005 The beauty of your place is only surpassed by your hospitality and warmth. What a great way to start our Costa Rican adventure. We hope we will be able to come back here again someday. Now it is your turn to visit us. Jimmy Golub What a pleasure to meet you and your beautiful place. Someday, we'll be back!. Janine Thank you so much! I would love to come back!

March 23, 2005 This is our last night here and we have been relaxing outside, listening to all the crickets and howler monkeys while lazily relaxing on the hammock chairs. We came to Costa Rica to celebrate our One Year Anniversary and this was such a wonderful place to do so. The deck is amazing and I loved our bathroom (we want to design our bathroom just the same). Thank you for sharing your home with us and for your hospitality and delicious breakfast! We hope to come back someday and share and celebrate another anniversary! Brian & Jessica - San Francisco, CA, USA stjess@hotmail.com |
March 22 - 24, 2005 Villa Mango is perfect: great hosts, delicious and plentiful breakfast, relaxing and warm pool, attractive and very clean accommodations. Thank you so much for a wonderful vacations. Marilyn Root To Jose: Hey Baby!! Incredible! What else is there to say. See you next year! Gail Martin gmspectrum@aol.com Thank you for such a wonderful Costa Rican hospitality with a European flare! Your place is incredible and you treat your guests like royalty. The next time, I am returning with my husband. Wait 'till he sees the photos Judy and Deb Krowe jektravel@aol.com PS: Make sure Jose does not have Gail and I mixed up! |

April 21, 2005 This is just PARADISE! Thank you so much for the "family like" hospitality. The Nature around here is incredibly beautiful, day and night! I will definitely recommend this trip to your Villa Mango at home. And, hey, if you need an advice for your electricity in the house or have a question about your Internet connection, please don't hesitate to ask (hmm, Jo?)

April 23, 2005 This is easily one of the best places I've ever stayed in - and I travel for a living! We have had a wonderful stay and it is hard to pick out the pleasures... the beaches, your breakfasts, meeting you and getting a feel for your hopes and plans for this place, seeing the turtles up in Ostional, watching the sunsets from La Luna, the boat trip with Tony, watching the pelicans fishing, body-surfing at Playa Carillo... Most of all I loved just being here, waking to feel the breeze and sunlight falling through the slats, hearing the howler monkeys at the half dawn, seeing humming birds fighting over their doses of nectar, and pizotes drinking from the pool, reading, swimming. Thank you! You made our holiday! James McConnochie - England - Rough Guides After a week up in Arenal and Monteverde, we were desperate to come to the coast and see the beautiful waves and the famous sunsets and finding Villa Mango and meeting you. I knew I'd want to stay and stay. I'll never forget staying here. You have created a wonderful , atmospheric and warm place and I wish you both so much luck with your plan for it. Anyone who comes here will feel lucky and touched by it - and take a bit home with them. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality, and for those delirious and fun breakfasts. and chats. With Thanks - and I hope I may be able to return one day. Alice - London, England |
| April 23, 2005 It is a "first" to me to reach anything approaching relaxation on day one of my holidays... never mind the tranquility I have found here from the first moment of stepping across the threshold. The beautiful house, its settings and views are apparent immediately but the friends we have met over breakfasts, the welcoming atmosphere and the inspirational couple at the helm are what really make this an exceptional place to stay. Thanks for some very special memories Imogen Cooper, London, England imoge.cooper@itv.com "Well done!" is all I can say. If you have done this well in 2 years, i know I'll be looking in Conde Nast Traveler magazine for news of you in the future. Thank you both and wishing you the best of luck!

There are still many cantinas to explore. So hopefully we will have many more great time together. I will send the pictures as soon as I can when I get back to Tennessee. Hopefully, there will be many that you can use. Take care of each other. Much Love. Curt McClain - Tennessee, USA |

June 16, 2005 Your home is an inspiration to live well! We enjoyed our time here. The best wildlife in Costa Rica comes right to the porch. And we always felt that we had a "home" to come to after a hard day at the beach. We enjoyed your laughter, stories and insights. We can only hope that in 15 years we will still have the same joyful rapport that you share. And who knows... maybe we will take the plunge and become your neighbors! We are already looking forward to coming back to see the new work on Villa Mango. With great affection! Andrew and Victoria |
| July 29, 2005 Thank you for such a lovely and peaceful stay. Your house is magnificent and especially with the sighting of those cute howler monkeys. Wish we could stay longer but when the rain comes, we go... Actually you did provide us with some beautiful sunshine and we so appreciate it... All the luck with your business. I cannot see why you two would not succeed. Until next time! Best regards, JoAnn and Brian, New York, NY japirish@earthlink.net |

July 2005 We met your friend Billy Meyer in DC and she guided us to you and your place, Villa Mango. Awesome space and such warmth! We look forward to being neighbors and friends for many moons. Love, Jane Thank you for such a wonderful hospitality and for sharing your beautiful property! I wish you great success in your endeavors, however they evolve, I think that god will bless you both!

| July 18, 2005 Ein herzliches Gruess Gott aus Germany! We traveled throughout the world in the last twenty years, but this is a special place. The "special" is that you, Agnes & Jo, have similar spirits than we. You have an extraordinary compromise between life and nature - so the monkeys gave a wonderful concert at 4:20 am. We hope that you establish a good restaurant, have a good business and maybe we can enjoy Costa Rican seafood sometime.

July 2005 My stay at Villa Mango has been a restful, relaxing and peaceful one. Your kindness and hospitality are second to none. Our room was stunning, the views breathtaking. You can count on me to send many friends your way, though it makes me a little nervous to have too many discover this gem in paradise. I look forward to returning within the year and appreciating all of your improvements and additions. Thank you for organizing the turtle adventure. Many memories were created here and I truly thank you for being so open, honest and real. I experienced being a part of your family for a few days and it is not just any person who can create that for others. Love always and until next time, Liza Zamora - San Diego, CA lizazamora@hotmail.com |
| July 2005 I have a week left in my vacation but I could go home tomorrow already having had the most amazing holiday! I will never forget the first time I walked up the front path on to the terrace... truly a wonderful, wonderful surprise. Thank you for taking such good care of us and for the company. I very much enjoyed getting to know you and I look forward to my return. All my love to Minette who, I know, will anxiously await my next visit. Kelly Happe - California khappe@combustiblerubbish.com PS: I will (reluctantly) forward my praise for Villa Mango to Lonely Planet tout de suite! Oh, and please do reconsider your premature retirement from the pastry business, Jo! |

July 2005 Villa Mango was the first place in Costa Rica that we got to just stop, relax and admire the view... and what a view! We will be leaving relaxed and refreshed. We feel like we have really been taken care of. You have both been so helpful and great to chat to as well. We feel like we've been treated like old friends. I hope everything goes well with your new venture(s). Please do come and visit us when you come back to Europe Sue, Nick, Maddie, Jules and Amelie - England suelorduk@aol.com |
July 31, 2005 What to say? Words like paradise, very nice place, beautiful, quiet, nice scenery, wonderful hosts, good breakfasts including the personal company of you, lovely pool and so on. This is a place we could stay at for weeks. However time is limited in a holiday like ours. So, thank you very much for your hospitality. Your motto "Come as Guests, leave as Friends" worked for us. I hope you will go on with the B&B and may be will see you in the future.

It is not about the amount of time you stay but it is about places and people who This is one of them! |
| August 19, 2005 We enjoyed the last three days of our holiday in Costa Rica in your wonderfully designed B&B. We've seen many places, also years before when I lived in Nicaragua, and your place stays in the top ten. Your breakfasts will stay in our memory and we enjoyed the chats we had in French. We were lucky to see the turtles in Ostional in the early moment and that was almost "le moment le plus impressionant". The second time, we went in the early evening, but we nearly got stuck in the river, because of a cow, who got into the water and could not get out. The culinary highlight was having dinner at "Chez Olivier". We thank you for your hospitality during our stay. You make great piņas coladas, unforgettable. All the best for the future!

October 20, 2005 what a pain in the.. it is! We will tell everyone about Villa Mango Because of your fun, relaxing attitudes you bought out the best of Costa Rica to us!!
I couldn't believe all the interesting creatures we were able to see during our visit. We met your friendly raccoon Snooky (who thinks he's a cat or some sh...) and the sexy monkeys with white balls, also known as "huevos grandes" en espanol! Lets not get started with the dawn bugs , stupid praying mantis. We love you guys so much. Thanks for the great fabulous time!! Hope to see you soon!! Jason and Zoe |

October 24, 2005 Jo, We came up here by chance but what a find, as this place is a peaceful paradise!! Will and would recommend this place to anyone. Joe you have done a great job with your rooms and patio. A great addition to the fortress. Good luck with all your other projects. We hope that your wife is ok and will come back some day to meet her. If you are ever back in Colorado please stop by in Breckenridge and see us.
Muchas Gracias, Billy and Bridget Buddha202@Earthlink.net |

October We came here by chance. The elegant atmosphere and more than friendly treatment made us very happy. If it where not the prediction of hurricane Beta in a a day or two, we would stay longer. We may return. Charles enjoyed telling all his motorcycle and travel stories from the deep dark past (and to hear about Joe and Agnes travel stories). Charless & Marjorie Fowlkes Bozeman, montanaI loved it all, the company, the room, pool, birds and the monkeys. I'm only sad that the hurricane threat keeps us from staying longer. We do feel we are leaving as friends. |

November 16, 2005 What to say? What we had expected, we didn't find here , it was much better. We had a clear idea of good breakfast (yet recommended by Anya), here it was better! We liked nice, clean and sympathic rooms here they were better! And at least a good hotel should have a nice atmosphere and a beautiful setting here it was far ahead!
If we had added here even nice words for the hosts, nobody would have ever believed that such a nice hotel existed. So we keep it for us, knowing very well that we will keep this place in our minds and will always be ready to come back. A plus, Pascal and Sabrina

December 13, 2005 From Scott and Barry Our home is in Hawaii and every new "point" is a new adventure. Villa Mango has been one of those special adventures. The house is beautiful. Jo and Agnes are some of the best hosts you will ever meet. The beaches in Nosara are some of the most beautiful in the world. We will be coming back in July or August of next year in hopes of buying our own piece of paradise here. Pura Vida scottharvey@hawaii.rr.com |

December 15, 2005 From California Coast to Nosara... Mmm, warm water and breezes in the midst of your winter, a respite from cold water and rain. Jo and Agnes are hosts extraordinaire. We stayed 6 nights and could have been content for at least another week. Surf wasn't high the fist few days, then head high the next few. Perfect for the beginner, then perfect for the expert. The sunsets was magnificent and the company fabulous. Jose and Yamileth were fun loving and hard working. Mango Villas own "easy Riders" Minette was a princess and welcomed into her domain in exchange for a few massages. With love Deborah and Bruce ergonomics@fix.net |

December 20, 2005 This place is a testament to taking the road less traveled. We had the pleasure of stumbling across Villa de Mango and we were rewarded with gracious hosts, a fantastic breakfast and unforgettable views. Jo and Agnes are great and we look forward to returning. Shay and Jessica Portland, Oregon, U.S.A. |

Dear Agnes and Jo, Thank you so much for our wonderful week in paradise!! I couldn't imagine a more beautiful spot for the eleven of us to come together for Hanukkah and Christmas. We will certainly miss waking up to your breathtaking views, the delicious breakfast, and a whole day of beaches, turtle watching, forest hiking and relaxing on the veranda! Thank you so much for your warm hospitality, you are wonderful host! We will certainly spread the world about what a great place Villa Mango is (or maybe not, since we'd love to come back and have it all to ourselves again!) Thanks again, and best wishes in 2006!

December 28, 2005 How will we continue to wake up for breakfast with no promise of juice or eggs (with tomato, cheese of course). We couldn't have asked for anyplace better than Villa Mango. The house and both of you (plus Minette) exceeded our wildest hopes and dreams. Thank you and happy 2006! We hope to see you again soon! Adrienne and Grayson Myers December 28, 2005 This was an amazing vacation and a huge part of that was due to your lovely B&B and wonderful hospitality! Thank you so much! Rachel Wiley and Sean |
