Mangata Villas Adults Only

Location & Environment: Quiet, secluded beachfront setting with access to Secret Beach, away from town noise.

First time to Belize, and we picked the perfect place to stay. We've grown tired of the larger resorts with multistory buildings and lots of people fighting for beach chairs. We were looking for a quaint quiet place to relax, and we found it. We had our own little bungalow (casita) just steps from the beach. It was beautifully appointed and had everything we wanted. Fridge, stove, microwave, sink as well included as well. Owners Justin and Jennifer were attentive to any needs we had and checked on us periodically to make sure we were happy with everything. They have their own beach bar on property; drinks and pizza are both great! Definitely made the trip memorable!

We stayed in the Moonbeam Cabin. It was super clean, stocked with coffee pods, and 5 gallons of water. The bed is a very comfortable king with a ton of pillows. It was nice to have a double sink bathroom where we could spread out. The entire property is meticulously maintained. The Moon Bar has a variety of seating options, tables, beach loungers, picnic table, even swings. They serve lovely pizzas and great drinks. I wish I could drink a margarita right now. The owners are there if you need them, and lovely to talk to, but also give you plenty of space. The staff are friendly and helpful, and really make it a special place to visit. It's all starts when Rody and Roly hand you a welcome drink, and it doesn't stop. Rody asked how our snorkeling trip to Mexican Rocks was and then identified all the fish in my photos for me! They will tell you to get a golf cart, and you need it. The villas are a bit off the beaten path. It's a good thing. I tried to save a couple of dollars and organized my own golf cart, but I should have just trusted Jennifer and used her recommend. It's just fun to go everywhere in a golf cart. No doubt you are on vacation. We went north of town a couple of times and made the 25+ minute drive to Secret Beach once. Driving back after dark twice. The dive shop is a short walk down the beach from the Villas, and it's a 5 minute boat ride to snorkeling at Mexican Rocks. There is no shortage of fish to see there, you got to do it. Thanks so much for your beautiful place and your hospitality.
