Great stay in Quebec
Unwisely enjoyed for the 3rd time on Isla Holbox. By now I know better than anyone which location to stay here. Stayed at Villa Los Mangles twice within 1 year. Christina together with her son Mark provide a warm welcome and are extremely welcoming. The rooms are clean and tidy. The
first time I stayed in a smaller apartment on the ground floor and the 2nd time this year the suite with the private roof terrace. What a gem. A lot of freedom and space to see the sunrises and sunsets in both the morning and evening.
As soon as we go back to Holbox I already know where we will stay.
Absolutely recommended!

Holbox is paradise, and Villa Los Mangles helps
Located in the western part of the beach, the guest house offers beautiful rooms, cleaned every day, with air conditioning, USB sockets for charging phones and accessories and a shower with hot water. Mosquito nets on the windows and European espresso coffee machine.
We stayed in the upstairs apartment, the Palapita dell'amor. Just the right size bedroom, huge private terrace, with sun loungers, sofa and piano bar style wooden table. Small private staircase leading to a turret from which you have a view of the beach and the whole island.
Antoine, the owner (Italian!), very kind and helpful, updated us in real time via email and WhatsApp before we even arrived, and takes care of calling taxis and organizing tours of the island. Upon arrival, he gave us a map of the island and recommended restaurants and cocktail bars, among other things tried and recommended.
Beach one minute walk away.
City center ten minutes walk away, it is not necessary to rent bikes or call taxi carts.
Very convenient possibility to pay for both the house and the tours with PayPal.
Mosquitoes everywhere at critical times (sunset in particular), equip yourself with spray!
ps an affectionate greeting to Sciura, the 5 year old rottweiler dog who accompanied us in our stay, of which Antoine is the owner, and who is anything but a guard dog
PS - I am publishing the review almost at the end of the holiday, which touched a good part of the Yucatan, and which ends in Isla Mujeres. Fantastic island, without a doubt. But Holbox will remain in the heart. If you are in doubt, or have to choose just one seaside location, Holbox is the answer

Lovely stay
Villa Los Mangles has a lovely homely feel, located only a 2 minute stroll from the beach. The room was spacious and had everything you need. The garden area is perfect for unwinding in a hammock. You can also climb to the top of the building and overlook the mangroves.
Manolo and the staff are very friendly and so are the two dogs that lived there.

The best place to call home when you’re traveling!
It’s hard for just “any place” to feel like home. Yet, whether it was inside on the bed or outside on the rooftop patio or even downstairs on the hammock, Acrotravels Acroyoga enjoyed staying at Villa los Mangles. They made it home as opposed to just “any place.”
Los Mangles was a necessary retreat from the daily grind for both Ale and me. We relaxed, ate delicious food, met a ton of good souls, and stayed at a beautiful space that we felt like we could call home for a couple of nights. Their space was phenomenal — from the shower at the bottom all the way up to the shower on the rooftop.

NIGHTMARE EXPERIENCE DO NOT STAY HERE - DOG BITE ON FACE!
I really don’t know where to start with this review...
I could go on about the constant issues we had such as
1) the lack of consistent hot water,
2) the horrible sewage smell around the area behind the room that wafted in when you left the windows open,
3) the broken airconditioning,
4) the broken toilet flush or
5) the fact that despite having 4 different wifi networks to connect to none of them work consistently,
But by far and away the worst experience, and not just during my holiday in Mexico but ONE OF THE WORST EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE was the fact that the Rottweiler guard dog that lives on the property BIT ME ON THE FACE which resulted in a deep laceration to my lip which needed 3 stitches.
On top of all this, after initially being a bit sympathetic the owner (Antoine) subsequently denied any wrong doing whatsoever, suggested that I in fact headbutted the dog (!!), told me to get lost and blocked my telephone number so I could no longer contact him.
Whilst it was clearly not a ferocious attack and more of a nervous bite when playing with the dog having returned late one evening, the simple fact is THAT A DOG CAPABLE OF BITING A GUEST IN THE FACE SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED ON THE PROPERTY let alone live there unmuzzled and unchained all year round. Imagine if it did the same to a small child not a full-grown man!
Antoine’s justification for his sudden change in attitude was that he had CCTV footage of the incident. I have also seen the footage and you can clearly see the dog snapping at my face. I also have a medical report from the attending doctor stating that this was a laceration caused by a dog bite. He also justified his rudeness by stating that my girlfriend (who he shockingly described as a “witch”) was rude to the manager who kept saying it was very unlike the dog to bite someone when all my girlfriend was trying to do was trying to get medical attention as soon as possible in what was clearly a highly destressing situation for her!
To make things even worse, when we asked to see the dog’s rabies vaccination history the owner Antoine WAS NOT ABLE TO PRODUCE THE VACCINATION DOCUMENTATION which meant that we had to treat it as a possible rabid dog bite and get all of the precautionary rabies jabs (some of which had to be administered directly into the lip wound) all at my own expense because the owner had wiped his hands of any blame and blocked our numbers!
I am currently considering whether or not to bring legal action against Antoine due to his negligence in allowing a dog that is capable of biting someone on the face to roam free on the property without a muzzle and for not vaccinating the dog properly either. In the meantime I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT STAY HERE because the owner clearly does not care about the safety or wellbeing of his guests.
