It seems no property is ever as good as described, EXCEPT this one. After spending a month at Mango's House we came to the pleasant conclusion that this home was even better than advertised. From huge spacious rooms, comfortable furniture, a well equipped kitchen, ample patio furniture, as well as extra linens, help to make this property a step up from anything else offered in the area.
The home and property were very clean and a caretaker checking in every couple of days made sure that any requests to the owner were satisfied very quickly.
Don't let the reputation of the Northern Mexican states affect your decision regarding this area. The people of this whole area of the Yucatan are some of the friendliest people in the world. Although we had a car for the duration of our stay, nightly walks after supper to the town square always felt safe and met with cheerful smiles and "Buenas Noches".
There are numerous restaurants in walking distance, as well as small "stands" that offer limited but delicious, inexpensive local cuisine. A couple of local grocery stores offer the basics, with large grocery stores a short drive away in Progreso.
Local transportation that is both inexpensive, and goes by every few minutes will enable you to get to most all areas including both Progreso and Merida.
The most sincere compliment we can leave is to say that we enjoyed our stay so much, we booked for a month for next year.
