"Mango is a great place to stop before and after the airport. I wish I had discovered it sooner. It will be my "go to" airport hotel in Costa Rica. Dinner was delicious, the staff was very kind, the pool and outdoor areas were relaxing. The rooms were basic, but clean and comfortable. They provided an airport shuttle at 4 am and included cookies and coffee at that hour."
